Speaker. when the wage and hour law was changed 2 years ago. an amendment was added in the Senate which has been interpreted to mean that farmers can no longer hire children under 16 years of age to work in agriculture during the time a school is in session in the community where the work is being done. I take the position that control over school attendance is within the exclusive jurisdiction of the States. That amendment and the interpretation is working a severe hardship on cotton growers and on migrant families who make their living principally by picking cotton during the harvest season which occurs during the autumn. It is having the effect of throwing a lot of good people on relief rolls and of curtailing the harvesting of cotton and of other agricultural products. The Senate amendment should be repealed.
