Mr. Speaker. the purpose of this amendment is to do exactly the opposite of what the chairman has said was his intention. and that Is. Instead of giving these disciarged employees their tickets. this amendment would give them an equivalent in money. As I stated when I put the question. tile method provided in this bill is nothing less than a systenl of enforced deportation. These employees are not incompetent. criminal. or feebleminded. If they were. they should not have been in the service as long as this. I suppose the intention is to get them home. They want to go home. and they ought to be trusted with the equivalent of their fare. which will carry out the purpose of this resolition.
