May I say that this bill -does not place any more power in the -hands of the Secretary of Labor than the Secretary of Labor already has. -and has had for a -good many .years. As far as the refusal of the -Secretary of Labor to exercise -properly the powers given her is concerned. there is -not a scintilla of truth in that accusation. In -the -one case about which the splendid and :capable Secretary of Labor was criticizedthat is. the Stredker caseit -was found on investigation that Mr. -Streckers deportation was ordered a year .and -a half before a passport -could be secured. The Secretary of Labor was criticized for not doing that which she -was -unable to -do because of either connivance on the part of the country of which Mr. Strecker was a national or its refusal to recognize our laws.
