Because a vessel happens to come in on Sunday. that does does not slow up a mans work on week days. I say. however. that we ought at least be consistent. At the present time. if some ship docks at 5 oclock in the afternoon. so that the examiners and the inspectors are forced to work late in the evening. the result under the present situation Is that the customs examiners get overtime pay. which comes from the steamship companies. while the immigration inspectors. who work at their elbows. get nothing. I say that is a profound injustice to the immigration inspectors. Either we will have to put them all on the same overtime. basis or else we ought to cut out all overtime and not allow ships to dock at night or on Sunday. So long as we are going to pay some of them on that basis. we ought to pay all of them.
