I introduced a bill covering this matter and it was referred to the Committee on Comlerce. The bill was introduced by me because in the last session of Congress there was passed a bill providing for similar payments for the customs inspectors. The Senator from Massachusetts now desires that the immigration inspectors shall be cared for in the same way. This legislation has been asked for by the great shipping companies in New York City. Boston. and other large cities in the East. They are perfectly agreeable to having the service paid for in this way. It would put the Immigration inspectors exactly on the same status as the customs inspectors are today. It is most unjust to have the customs inspectors paid for the overtime while the immigration Inspectors must work overtime without pay.
