The important question involved here is this: Two years ago we had 731 employees at Ellis Island. where 85 LXIV25 per cent of all of the immigrants come into the country. With this cut we will reduce the number by 228. in addition to having had the whole force last year put off for one month without pay. The effect probably can not be realized by merely stating that 228 men will be laid off. but they are going to be put off at Ellis Island. and when you did not have the quota law and the visd law you had 731 men.
