Mr. Speaker. I recognize the temper of the House. and its desire on every opportunity to extend the pension laws of the Government to the civilian service of the country. This Is just the beginning of the extension of the pension laws to all persons employed in the civilian activities of the Government. The gentleman from Washington suggests that the Immigration Service will presently be brought under the Coast Guard Service. Some of the older Members. perhaps a halfdozen only. or maybe more. will remember the efforts made by the late head of this service. Mr. Kimball. who fought for 10 or 15 years to get retirement pay for members of this service. then known as the Revenue Cutter Service.
