Then the House has a number of socalled secondrank committees. which have a lot of work to do. with a clerk and a messenger or janitor assigned to each one of those. Many of the clerks who belong to these committees and who have been In their positions a sufficient time to become expert believe that they ought to have more pay. That is the case with the Committee on the Public Lands. and with the Committee on Immigration. the Committee on Accounts. and with others that I might mention where the routine work is really heavy. Now. the proposition is how to secure additional pay for the really overworked clerks. and that at once is met by the proposition that: hereafter the clerks of all the committees shall be similarly taken care of. I wish the members of the Committee on Accounts would drop in at any hour. 8.30 to 5.30. and see the vast amount of public and congressional business that is carried on in the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization. a large part of it of a personal nature for my colleagues. I thank the gentleman from New York . and I shall not now read the amendment which I had in mind.
