It was argued then. and has been known and argued a great many times since. that census information is private. that is. that it should not be made known to the general public. because of the intimate nature of the questions which are asked by census takers. That objection was advanced. among others. to the bill. Therefore. it was provided In the bill that the Bureau of the Census should transmit this information to the Secretary of Labor. who at that time. of course. had charge of immigration and of immigrants. But the information so obtained was not to go further. It was simply to go to the Secretary of Labor.
