This bill is designed. through the exercise of congressional authority to regulate interstate commerce. to afford a method of correcting these abuses by mandatory registration in order to curb the activities of persons who. because of criminal records. misrepresentation or failure to deal honestly with members of their crews. should not be permitted to operate in interstate commerce as crew leaders. Compulsory registration would make the arrangements between crew leader and crew a matter of record. The legislation would require any person. who for a fee is engaged in the recruitment. hiring. furnishing. or transporting of three or more migrant workers for interstate agricultural employment. to obtain a certificate of registration from the Secretary of Labor. No person could engage in such activities without a certificate. The submission of certain information to be prescribed by regulation is required. and a certificate may be denied or revoked upon the Secretarys finding of conviction of a felony. misrepresentation in application for a certificate. knowingly giving false information to workers in the crew concerning conditions of employment. failure to comply with the reported working arrangements with the crew. and failure to comply with the act or any regulations issued thereunder.
