Equal Wages
Employment service offic
ials are required to make sure
that migrants ' are offered
wages and working conditions
equal ' to those ' prevailing
among" "domestic"' farm
workers In; the same area; and
that "hygienic and adequate
housing - facilities" are avail
able' for migrant : families.
Mitchell is the first to ac
knowledge 'that ; these rules

Scale Low : '
2. The floor under migrant
wages will be a very low one
at best, since the "prevailing"
scale for domestic farm work
ers is often about 50 cents an
hour, or less.
3. Housing judged "ade
quate" for migrant families
can still be pretty ghastly.

the conditions he found there.

Despite their restricted
scope, the new regulations
have brought protests ' from
large farm organiz a t i o n s.
They charge that Mitchell's
action will interfere with
"farm freedom" and drive up
farm production costs.
The Secretary of Labor has
a sharp answer to these complaints.
"There is no freedom to ex
ploit," he says. "The condi
tions under which many of
our farm workers live and
work is an affront to the con
science of the "American
people. In this country we do
not choose to keep down our
bills, including our food bills,
at the- cost of overworking
and underpaying human be
ings." Must Do More
Mitchell ; believes the gov
ernment must do much more
to protect migrants than it
has done so far. He points to
surveys showing that the aver
age migrant now earns less
than $900 a year - an income
level that reflects both his
low hourly wage and the fact
that he is subjected to fre
quent long spells of forced un
employment - when there are
no crops to pick.
; Migrants are not covered by
unemployment insurance,
minimum w a g e,' workmen's
compensation or other laws
that protect most American
employes. Frequently they are
denied the use of public
health, educational and wel
fare facilities in the communi
ties which are their tempor
ary homes. Residence require
ments bar them from public
relief checks - even if their
families are literally threaten
ed by starvation.
Mitchell believes that prob
lems of the migrants will
never be substantially reliev
ed until Congress provides
them with "the protection of
a minimum wage of some
kind." The Labor Department
is currently making a study
to determine what kind of law
would be feasible, and recom
mendations may be sent to
Congress next year.

ILLINOIS VALLEY
Reservoir Papers Set
By MARGARET M. CROWL
Cave Junction The first
formal -step in the process of
previewing a storage reservoir
on Sucker creek and related
irrigation canals was taken
by directors of the district
at a recent meeting. ' :
This was the signing of two
applications, prepared by the
office of the district engineer
of the bureau of reclamation.
Both are to be filed with the
state engineer's office before
Dec. 31. -
The first application was
"to appropriate public waters
in' the State of Oregon" and
its diversion from Sucker
creek. The amount of water
is estimated at 250 cubic: feet
per second.
The second is an applica
tion for a permit to construct
a reservoir "to store water for
beneficial use of unappropriat
ed waters ip. the state of Ore
gon." The estimated amount of
water to be stored by the res
ervoir is 34,300 acre feet.
(This is the figure used in the
preliminary plans of the bu
reau of reclamation for the
reservoir.)
The dam, the application
says, is to be located in Sucker
creek with Greenstone rock
appearing on the surface of
the right abutment, while in
the creek bed and on the left
abutment there is a 40 foot
layer of clay, silt, gravel, sand
and boulders.
The spillway is reported as
a "Glory Hole" type. The out
let of the works is to utilize a
12-foot ' diameter diversion
tunnel.
The application says that
construction cost of the stor
age reservoir is approximate
ly $9 million. Construction is
to start on or before October,
1963, and the date of comple
tion is given as on or before
October, 1967.
In a covering letter, Lee
McAllister of the bureau of
reclamation, told the directors
of the Sucker creek district
that all of the dates given are
tentative. He also said there
would be final modifications
of the plans for the diversion
dam and storage 'dam, and that
adjustments in the application
would be made to suit the en
gineering plans at a later date.
Meeting Urged on
Obscene Literature
Portland -(HPD- Mayor Terry
Schrunk has written Gov.
Mark Hatfield urging that a
statewide meeting be called to
plan a campaign against
obscene literature.
" The mayor said that since a
meeting on the subject was
held here he had received
more than 500 letters, many
of them from outside the Port
land area. He said local laws
and ordinances should be used
where applicable but that the
biggest part of the job, he be
lieves, will be done by public
opinion.
"I think a concerted ( state
wide program among the vari
ous cities and areas should be
instituted," he said. He urged
Hatfield to take any action be
lieved necessary to start pro
grams of effective action
through the state.

2. ' Even your older Bonds Mill earn more an extra
' from June 1 on, until maturity.
3., All Series E Bonds, old or new, carry an automatic
extension privilege; hold them and they'll keep
paying liberal interest for 10 years beyond matu
rity.
All this, plus complete safety, guaranteed return, and
protection against loss or theft. And there's no easier
way to save you can buy Bonds where you bank, or
through Payroll Savings where you work. So save
