I am familiar with that. and yet. anticipating what the gentleman from South Carolina would say. I do not hold that this is in order because of that action. It is true in the law creating the Bureau of Immigration the Bureau of Information is created. and one of the objects of that bureau is to furnish employment for aliens. and in this great emergency the Secretary of Labor so construed it that some employment was offered to those who were not able to secure employmentat least that is the report. We base our case squarely on the organic law creating the Department of Labor. and we maintain that all precedents sustain us. The chairman of the Committee on Appropriations says that if we overrule this point of order the Committee on Appropriations can then absorb the jurisdiction of all the committees of the House.
