In my district in Colorado there are large sugarbeet factories. I know the growers of those beets. I know it will be impossible for -them to secure hand labor for this work unless this amendment should be adopted or unless the Secretary of Labor will. as he has for the past several years. issue an order in violation..I understand. of section 3 of the immigration act of 1917. and allow them to come in for a period of six to eight months in order to engage in this labor. In our locality we had to depend exclusively. almost. on Mexican labor. They are well equipped for this work. and they are contented to do it.
