Orders Of the Day.
Mr.. COLE of York: Mr.. President,
| move that the rules be suspended,
and that | be allowed to present re-
solve appropriating five hundred dol
lars to provide for the erection of a
suitable shelter for the inspector OF
immigration at the international
bridge between Van Buren,, Maine,
and st. Leonards, New Brunswick.
l will say. Mr.. President that this
carries an emergency clause. ! have
here certain correspondence between
the department of labor and our ate
torney generals office. At that point
there is stationed "a United States
government inspector He has charge
of the inspection of all aliens that
come across that bridge to the State
of Maine There is absolutely no
shelter there fer him.
Mr.. MOREY of Androseoggin: Mr..
President, if the matter presented by
the senator from York is of such inn
portance that he believes it should
he acted upon promptly, it seems t.
me. if it is a matter that carries an
emergency clause and there is need of
place for shelter at that place at
to take action upon the bill at once
irrespective of its reference to a com-
mittee. | know nothing about the
matter personally, but if it is some
thing for which there is present neej
at that point, it should be acted upon
in my judgment at once.
Mr.. COLE: Mr.. President. there is
an emergency clause in this resolve
and | understand the need is very
great there, but it seems to me therl
is some question as to how far the
duty of the State of Maine goes &c
furnish shelter for United States
immigration inspector in Maine.
was asked to present it this mornine
and push it through just as fast as il
could go | move that the resolve be
referred to the committee on federal
relations. At,H
- Mr. MURPHY of Cumberland: Mr.
President, it seems to me that pro-
|. vision to take care of United States
tainspector of immigration in this State
is on the United States, and | should
like an explanation as to why the
State of Maine should provide quar-
tiers for United States inspector.
l insist upon an explanation why
the State of Maine should provide
quarters for United States official.
The PRESIDENT: The Chair will
state that the question is now upon
the reference of the bill to a com
mittee. and not upon it's passage. Is
the Senate ready for the question
Mr.. MOREY: Mr.. President, l sec
ond the motion of the Senator fror'
York that the resolve be referred tC
the committee on federal relations.
The motion was agreed to and the
resolve was referred to the committee
