Plans to pay braceros $1
an hour drawing criticism
LOS ANGELES UPI -Depart-ment
of Labor plans to pay Mexi
can nationals $1 an hour were
criticized Monday by growers as
being unfair and arbitrary and by
labor as inadequate.
Many opposing views were
heard at tiie Labor Department
hearing attended by nearly 400
representatives of labor and man
agement from California, Oregon,
Nevada and Washington. The hear

Calif., Wednesday. .
Robert Goodwin, head of the La
bor Department's Bureau of Em
ployment Security, said the Mex
ican braceros imported to work
on farms was having an adverse
effect on wages and working con
ditions of domestics.
He said the use of braceros has
kept tiie prevailing wage of both
imported and domestic workers
depressed. Goodwin called this
"artificial stabilization" of work
er's pay for both groups.

RICHMOND. Va. (UPP Dele
gate C. Harrison Mann of Arling
ton. current home of astronaut
John Glenn Jr., appealed to a
House committee Tuesday for
more representation for his grow

so rapidly, Mann said, that "I

tion about (lie new $1 hourly wage
which he said would not make it
necessary to depress the domestic
wage rate. Goodwin said other
actors had been used other than
the so-called prevailing wage in
determining a bracero hourly rate.
The wage was criticized as too
low by the AFL-CIO Los Angeles
County Federation of Labor and
the Emergency Committee to Aid
Farm Workers. A spokesman for
the group asked the department
to increase the rate to 11.50 and
slait work now to eliminate the
bracero program when it comes
up for renewal in Congress in two
years.
J.J. Miller, of the Citrus Grow
ers of California, said the pro
gram has been a strong factor in
bettering over-all working and
wage conditions. He charged La
bor Secretary Arthur J. Goldberg
attempted to usurp his authority
by fixing a wage rate for bra
ceros. William Gilbert, a spokesman
for AFL-CIO County Federation
Secretary W.J. Bassett, said the
$1 wage was "absurdly inade
quate." He called the bracero pro
gram "a windfall for the corpora
tion farm, reaped from the des
perate adversity of the agricultur
al wage earner and his family."
Tim Gottlieb, executive vice
president of the Salinas Farmers
Cooperatives, also contended the
labor department was not empow
ered to limit the wage in the
manner proposed. He said bracer
os were imported because there
was a shortage of domestic
workers.
"It is foolish to think we would
use bracero labor if we could get
domestic workers to do the same
job," he said.
However, a licensed labor con
tractor, Gilbert Valle, said nearly
3,000 domestic workers in Imperi
al Valley were out of work.
Lcland J. Yost, Thermal, was
speaking for the Coachella Valley
Farmers' Association when he
said there was no competition be
tween domestic and foreign work
ers. "Every able, willing, compe
tent domestic worker available
has been hired and given pref
erence over foreign workers," he
said.
He said wages in California
wera higher than in other states
but domestic workers did not
"flock from those areas to Cali
fornia. If they did. we would not
need foreign workers."

The appeal met immediate ob

One of the strongest appeals for
a tariff increase was made by
Mollis M. Dole, director of the

"If the United States is to have
an effective and reliable source

done to level out the rapid fluc
