Mr. Chairman. we have heard about young people working in drugstores after school. and of course that is fine. No doubt it has a salutary effect on a young man. We have heard about people working on a family farm. That is good. Nobody is against that. What we are trying to get at is the organized exploitation of children who work as migrant farmers. I heard somebody say that at the age of 8 he was able to operate a tractor. He is very lucky he did not get hurt. But do you know that in most States of our Union the farmworkers are not covered by the workmens compensation law?
