Labor Division Scored By Cox In Alien Influx
Representative Cox of Georgia accused the labor department of trying to defeat the immigration law during hearings before the House Rules Committee. He claimed the department is largely responsible for the influx of aliens and would oppose enforcement. Schulte promised to not pull punches if he leads the investigation, which would focus on illegal entry while not competing with the Dies committee. Other Washington items included Roosevelt authorizing two 45,000 ton battleships, Senate labor committee starting hearings on Panelfather Act amendments, and talks on farm payments funding.
