Employers recontracting workers now in the States must pay $15 per head for that privilege. 2. If the employer has men under contract and needs to have worker contracts extended. he must pay $7.50 per head. 3..Employers must pay $15 per head for each man contracted at the reception center. This amounts to a fiat head tax of $7.50 or $15 per man that the Secretary of Labor is charging the farmer. Testimony of Senator ELLENDER and Congressman POAGE at time bill was being considered by both House and Senate clearly emphasized that under no circumstances was a head tax to be considered. This arbitrary stand for maximum charges on the part of the labor lawyers in the Secretarys office is in complete defiance of the laws intent to charge the farmer for actual expenses for transportation of the worker to the border reception center. Our association recruited 1.000 workers in Mexico for cotton chopping.
