Let me say that my purpose in trying to bring them in under the minimum wage law was to prevent these big organized farm groups. such as the Di Georgia farm in the San Joaquin Valley of California employing these people. They are driving what we know as the ordinary farmers out of business because they cannot compete with that mass production of these big farms. It was my pleasure in 1950 to conduct a labor hearing in Bakersfield. Calif.. growing out of the strike on the Di Georgia farm. The Federal immigration and naturalization inspector who testified there said that in the previous 90 days he had taken 315 Mexican individuals off of that farm and deported them to Mexico. They are brought in here under these contracts. No attention is paid to them.
