I was glad to join with the Senator from New Jersey. because he is decidedly a leader in this field of legislation. As stated. I have joined with him in two bills. one to provide day nurseries for the children of migrant families. and one under which the Federal Government would provide some help in the construction of migratory labor housing. That bill. as I understand. has not yet been reported. but will come up later. The State of Florida and the farm groups in Florida. which were pretty badly mistreated by the socalled documentary film entitled "Harvest of Shame." about which we have had discussions on the floor heretofore. should take considerable comfort and satisfaction from the fact that several of these bills are based upon experiments successfully made on the Florida scene. which have produced the pattern on which the bills are modeled. One of them. the health bill. will come up today. Another. to come up at a later time. refers to day nurseries. I think the two committees were surprised. although the Senator from Florida was not. when it was discovered. after figures had been made available by the Department of Labor. that the average hourly rate paid to migrant labor in Florida was as high as it was. My recollection is that the average hourly wage rate in the citrus industry was $1.29. which was above the minimum rate imposed by Federal law for industrial workers. The average rate for workers in the vegetable fields was only a little less than that.
