the weekly issue of drawings of patents and designs, the reproduction of copies of drawings and specifications of exhausted patents, designs trade-marks, etc.; the reproduction of foreign patent drawings; photoprints of pending application drawings; and photostat and photographic supplies and dry mounts.

The increase is made necessary by the increased demands for copies of patents, and also to meet the expenses which will be incurred in the reproduction of drawings in connection with patents issued on plants, these drawings necessarily having to be reproduced in the original colors, and the expenses incident to such reproduction ranging from ten to one hundred times the expense in connection with drawings reproduced by photolithographic methods.

It should be stated, as an additional justification for the increase, that for every $6 expended under this appropriation $10 is put back into the Treasury.

Furniture and filing cases.-For furniture and filing cases there is carried in the bill $228,970. The appropriation for the year 1931 was $60,000. The amount allowed by the committee is the Budget estimate, which is an increase of $168,970 made necessary by the fact that the Patent Office will move into the new Commerce Building during the year and will need steel filing cases and steel furniture for the public search room and scientific library.

Printing and binding. The sum of $1,150,000 is carried in the bill for printing and binding, an increase of $50,000 over 1931 on account of the larger number of patents which it is estimated will be issued during the fiscal year 1932.

BUREAU OF MINES

Salaries and general expenses.-For salaries and general expenses, Bureau of Mines, the bill contains $90,895, which is $780 under the Budget estimate due to promotions deducted by the committee, and a decrease of $605 under the appropriation for the current fiscal year. Operating mine rescue cars and stations. For this purpose there is carried in the accompanying bill $359,520, which is $480 under the Budget estimate and an increase of $28,990 over the appropriation for the current fiscal year for new personnel, the purchase of passenger-carrying motor vehicles, and the erection of a garage at the station at Jellico, Tenn.

Helium plants.-The sum of $93,010 is recommended in the bill for the fiscal year 1932, the same as the Budget estimate, a decrease of $213,180 under the amount appropriated for 1931. The sum for 1932 is for the completion of the Amarillo (Tex.) project at a total expenditure (estimated) of $2,200,000, of which $2,106,990 has previously been appropriated.

Economics of mineral industries. For inquiries and investigations, and the dissemination of information concerning the economic problems of the mining, quarrying, metallurgical, and other mineral industries, the committee recommends for the fiscal year 1932 $322,660. This is an increase of $15,060 over 1931, and a decrease of $27,340 under the Budget estimate, $2,340 of which was for promotions disallowed by the committee, and the balance, $25,000, covered additional personnel.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

The committee has recommended for the conduct of the Department of Labor for the fiscal year 1932, exclusive of permanent appropriations, a total of $13,330,200, an increase over the present year of $1,109,030, and a decrease under the Budget estimates of $107,200. The following table shows the appropriations for 1931, the recommendations carried in the accompanying bill, and increases for the seven different appropriation units in the department:

The principal increases for the fiscal year 1932 over the 1931 appropriations, exclusive of transfers and consolidations of appropriations, are as follows:

Salaries. From the Budget estimate of $220,460 the committee has deducted the amount included for promotions of $2,040, and also the amount estimated for the employment of an additional clerk at $2,360 per annum, and has recommended in the bill $216,060 for the fiscal year 1932, an increase of $6,300 over the present year for new personnel.

Contingent expenses.-For contingent and miscellaneous expenses of the offices and bureaus of the department, for which appropriations for contingent and miscellaneous expenses are not specifically made, the bill carries $61,800. This is an increase of $6,300 over 1931 and is for the purchase of furniture, equipment, and supplies for the increased activities of the various bureaus.

Printing and binding. For printing and binding for the department, including all its bureaus, offices, institutions, and services, the committee recommends for the fiscal year 1932 $296,500, which is the same as the Budget estimate. This is an increase of $56,000 over the current year, due to enlarged activities of the different bureaus.

LABOR STATISTICS

Salaries and expenses. For this activity the bill carries for the next fiscal year $440,480, which is $2,820 (promotions deducted) under the Budget estimate, but $79,500 over the 1931 appropriation.

This increase is made necessary by the act of July 7, 1930, which provides that the Bureau of Labor Statistics shall collect and publish at least once each month full and complete statistics of the volume of and changes in employment.

BUREAU OF IMMIGRATION

Salaries and expenses. For the Bureau of Immigration, including salaries and expenses and the regulating of immigration, the committee recommends that there be appropriated for the fiscal year 1932 $10,034,160. This is $1,070,200 greater than was appropriated for the current fiscal year, and $83,580 under the Budget estimate for 1932, which decrease represents the amount for salary increases deducted by the committee. The increase over 1931 includes $500,000 additional for deportation of aliens and the rest is mainly due to new personnel to be employed as follows: 75 inspectors, 24 clerks, 20 guards, and 28 other employees. In addition, $70,000 is included to provide allowances for living quarters, heat, fuel, and light, for officers and employees of the service stationed in foreign countries in accordance with the provisions of the act approved June 26, 1930.

During the fiscal year 1930 there was deported a total of 16,631 aliens at a total expenditure, exclusive of overhead, of $1,062,818, an average per head of $63.90. The appropriations for the current fiscal year will permit the expenditure of approximately $1,125,000 for deportations, and the original estimate for the fiscal year 1932 contemplated the expenditure of $1,150,000 for such purposes. The additional $500,000 estimate, received after the regular Budget came in and now included in this bill for deportation expenses, is made immediately available, which means that the sum will be expended partly in the fiscal year 1931 and partly in the fiscal year 1932. The total, therefore, available for deportation purposes over the 2-year period of the fiscal years 1931 and 1932 is $2,775,000. This sum should permit the deportation of a considerably larger number of aliens in the fiscal years 1931 and 1932 than were sent out of the country in the fiscal year 1930, the actual number in each fiscal year to depend very largely upon the percapita cost of deportation which in turn must of necessity vary according to the distance from the United States of the country to which the deportee is sent.

Immigration stations. For remodeling, repairing (including repairs to the ferryboat Ellis Island), renovating buildings, and purchase of equipment, the bill carries $400,000, an increase over the current fiscal year of $351,000. The hearings on pages 27 and 28 contain an itemized statement of the way in which it is contemplated to expend this fund.

BUREAU OF NATURALIZATION

Salaries and expenses. For this activity the committee recommends for the fiscal year 1932 an appropriation of $1,149,020, a decrease of $7,950 under the current fiscal year and a decrease of $10,680 under the Budget estimate on account of salary increases.

CHILDREN'S BUREAU

For salaries and expenses of the Children's Bureau the bill contains $395,500, a decrease (due to promotions deducted) of $3,900 under the Budget estimate and an increase of $27,500 over the appropriation for the current fiscal year. This increase is for additional personnel and travel expense.

WOMEN'S BUREAU

For the Women's Bureau the Budget estimate for the fiscal year 1932 was $180,500. After deducting $600 for salary increases, the committee recommends $179,900, which is an increase over the current fiscal year of $21,400 for the purpose of carrying on the study of the hazards to women employed in industry.

MINORITY VIEWS OF HON. GEORGE HOLDEN TINKHAM

This is a dissenting report in relation to the appropriation for the Bureau of Prohibition contained in the Department of Justice appropriation bill for 1932.

This appropriation bill for the Department of Justice carries a lump sum of $11,369,500 for the Bureau of Prohibition, an increase of $2,369,500 over the corresponding appropriation for 1931, when the bureau was in the Treasury Department.

The increase in the appropriation for the Bureau of Prohibition for 1932 is largely for 500 additional enforcement officers and for other employees made necessary by the appointment of these officers, bringing the contemplated new appointments to 688, at a cost of $1,614,260 for salaries and of $356,581 for traveling expenses, or a total of $1,970,841.

Unless human nature has radically changed-and there was no evidence placed before the committee that it had-the 500 additional enforcement officers provided for in the bill will add a new measure to the corruption, lawlessness, and perjury now generally connected with the enforcement of prohibition, and must increase the present resentment of and contempt for law and government and the disrespect of the administration of justice in the United States.

Within the last six months, since the Bureau of Prohibition has been in the Department of Justice, dismissals have occurred for the following reasons:

Abstracting complaint letter from files and communicating contents to persons involved.

False statements to superior officer and intoxication.

Intoxication and violation of official orders by driving automobile after purchase of and drinking intoxicating liquors.

Intoxication.

Alleged conspiracy to falsely identify a defendant.

Conversion to personal use of property seized in raid.

Collusion with violators.

Attempted extortion.

Assault on private citizen after stopping his car.

Taking stock room keys and absenting himself from duty without permission. Annoying and insulting women employed in office.

As recently as December 19, 1930, evidence was reported to have been given before a coroner in San Francisco by one Federal enforcement officer against another that he, the latter, "was in no condition to drive an automobile' the night he shot to death Ugolino Prasso, suspected bootlegger, on a lonely road in Napa County.

The Director of Prohibition testified before the committee that there was no investigation made of the conduct of his agents except when a complaint was received, so that extensive corruption might exist among his force without his knowledge.

At present there are 2,638 employees in the Bureau of Prohibition, whereas in the Bureau of Investigation of the Department of Justice, whose work covers all Federal crimes except prohibition, there are only 738 employees. The Director of Prohibition stated that he had not sufficient time to explain why this discrepancy in the personnel of the two bureaus should exist.
