I know that all through the sugarbeet country gangs of Mexicans. during the season. are at work cultivating and weeding the beets. I do know that all through this section you erect barracks for the accommodation of Mexican labor. I do know. and I have received a pile of letters from men interested in the sugarbeet industry protesting against restriction of immigration on Mexican labor and telling me that they could not get along without it in the beet fields. I heard one witness. and only one. before the Ways and Means Committee who said that in his locality at one time It looked like they could not get enough Mexican labor. and when that dire situation stared them in the face they went to the public schools for the children and that the children agreed to do it if the Mexicans did not. So. so far as labor is concerned. you have here a Mexicanlabor industry and a childlabor industry.
