Assistant Secretary of Labor Holleman has stated: It is not in the public interest for Government to interpose itself in the farm labor market to guarantee a labor supply to employers whose refusal to adjust wages. working conditions. or personnel practices creates artificial labor shortages. For 9 months in 1959. four consultants studied the effects of Public Law 78 on domestic farmworkers at the request of former Secretary of Labor. James P. Mitchell. These men conducted their investigations not only in Washington. D.C.. but in all the areas where Mexican nationals are employed. They conferred with farm employers. domestic migrants. braceros. government officials. and others close to or directly concerned with the Mexican farm labor program. The four men who reported to the Secretary of Labor on this subject were certainly not radicals. extremists. or crusaders. They are sound and able men.
