These benefits include the ight of the Mexicans to have their own organizations to bargain collectively. and the requirement that the spokesmen for this group be recognized by the employers. Mexican nationals must be provided with - nonoccupational accident and health insurance. We do not propose to require that with regard to domestic migrants.. The employers are required to furnish tools and equipment to Mexican nationals. They would not be required to do so for American migrants. They are also required to furnish potable drinking water. We do not require that the American migrants be furnished decent drinking water. unless local sanitation laws require it. The employer must also undertake to give Mexican nationals some protection from immoral influence. and to. provide the Mexican worker with meals. at cost. and not to exceed $1.75 for three meals a day. All of these are additional benefitsand there are morewhich are required to be provided for Mexican nationals. but which we do not require to be furnished to the American migrant in our amendment. The sponsors of the amendment merely wish to provide that American migrants be offered benefits for housing. transportation. workmens compensation. and work period guarantees comparable to those offered Mexican nationals. These proposals are not new. They have been recommended before.
