Mr. Chairman. I just want to call this fact to the attention of the committee: that last AugustI am sure it was last Augusta bill was before this House to bring in this immigrant labor. The proponents of that bill assured the House that it would not cost the taxpayers of America one single dime. Then. about 10 days later. a supplemental appropriation bill was brought to the floor which requested $4.000.000 for this purpose of bringing into this country immigrant labor and also to transport the laborers back to Mexico. In that amount was requested 85 automobiles which were to be used to bring the laborers in and to take them back. I offered an amendment to strike out the full amount which was in that supplemental bill of $4.000.000. and the amendment was adopted. Now. here we have before us another request for funds to fly the immigrant laborers back home.
