In the past I have voted against amendments of this type. and I will vote against this amendment. I do so for the basic reason that through this type of amendment the Department of Labor is attempting to attach to farm labor. minimum wages and other types of social measures. There are direct methods of considering such proposalslegislation dealing with migrant labor which I have supported and any proposals for minimum wages should be addressed directly to the committee which has jurisdictionthe Committee on Labor and Public Welfare. I have objected. and I still object. to these efforts of the Department of Labor. I have opposed its efforts to come through the back door to obtain minimum wage laws and other types of controls on farm labor.
