Commissioner McSweeney encloses a letter from Albert Clarke, President of the United States Industrial Commission, which supports McSweeney’s claims that Representative Livingston was not in a position to bring charges against the Immigration Bureau. He concludes by suggesting an inquiry to determine whether any relatives of Livingston’s had ever been placed in immigration services positions due to Livingston’s friendship with Terence Vincent Powderly, the Commissioner General of Immigration.
