I dont think so. and as a matter of fact I have received letters from the States indicating that they need the help of the Federal Government In this area. For example. we have crew leaders. About nine States have enacted laws regulating crew leaders who recruit migrant labor. Six of the nine States have been in touch with me and they have said. "While we have regulated crew leaders. to evade our regulations crew leaders will take migrant labor to other States which do not regulate farm labor and protect them." So you see. since they move across States lines. the constitutional test of interstate commerce is fully met. and we have a national responsibility to see to it that these citizens are afforded real protection. Question. How can the Federal Government move into this area which is obviously unorganized?
