Mr. Chairman. the appropriation for the current year is $9.400.000 for the Immigration Service. This provides for 3.700 employees. an increase from the year 1926 of from 2.400 to 3.700. This is an average increase of more than 10 per cent per year in the field and in the District of Columbia. The provisions of the law as they stand now simply require an additional 30day furlough and this can be endured by this bloc of employees better than by some others because there has been this large increase in the number of employees over a period of six years.
