Mr. Chairman. this is in addition to the present legislative furlough given to all Government employees because the department was compelled by law to use up more money for deportation purposes. They are trying to balance their budget by taking it out of the men who are living from hand to mouth as a result of services rendered by the Immigration Service of the United States. I respectfully submit that because we had to use $288.650 to deport a group of 2.200 to 2.300 Chinamen. undesirable aliens who were thrown on our shores from Mexico. it does not justify you or me in depriving these men of an additional months pay. which. God knows. they can not afford. The present cut we have given them under the economy plan is enough penalization without another month.
