They accept these instructions graciously as part of their job. One of the worst features of this forced additional 30day furlough to which they have been recently subjected is that it can not help but tend to destroy the morale of the force as a whole. Perhaps all of you do not realize that alongside the immigration organization. with its patrolmen and inspectors. there is generally a customhouse. with its inspectors and employees. all employed by the same Government. Living there in the same town. under the same general conditions. drawing just as good. if not better. salaries. the customs inspectors. employees of the Treasury Department. have not been subjected to this administrative furlough in addition to the legislative furlough. If you were in the position of one of these immigration inspectors or patrolmen. you could realize how unfair that discrimination would appear to you. If that were a discrimination which had been brought about through carefully considered legislation. a discrimination that had been intentional. based upon some justification in fact. I would not be here complaining.
