The steamship companies have not made any special appeal for this bill. the big appeal comes from many Congressmen and is requested by the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Labor. The latter. it is true. has taken advantage of a clause in the previous law and has set ashore women and little children. expectant mothers and sick people. and the like of that. and numerous others. all under bond. To pass this act saves the United States the expense of examining every one of these people at some future time with a view to deporting them. This act will avoid unnecessary hardship. it will save the Government money. it will relieve the Bureau of Immigration. and it will not upset the 3 per cent iestrction by so much as a single Polish boy or one Italian baby. I might- add a little information gained since the hearings were closed. The steamship lines are making a real effort to keep within the quotas.
