told the House that. with revision of the original order to include families. servants. chauffeurs. and the like. altogether some 200 were admitted in connection with the Belcamp factory alone. instead of 76. and that the total of Bata employees admitted would run up to 500 counting those admitted as visitors to work in retail stores. Mrs. RoGmS also pointed out an "amazing fact"-the youth of the socalled instructors. of whom one was a 16yearold girl. while a fourth of the total were 20 or younger. and half under 25. She added that the company. in its petition. had said 5 years was necessary to develop the skill necessary to be a Bata instructor. Carol King. who filed a brief on behalf of the United Shoe Workers in connection with admission of the Czechoslovakian "instructors." charged that those admitted were in reality contract laborers. in violation of immigration laws.
