Mr. President. in June of 1963. the Senate passed by voice vote S. 524. a bill providing for registration of crew leaders. or farm labor contractors. who all too often have cheated and defrauded not only migrant workers but also the farmers who rely on their services. I am happy to report that the House of Representatives will act on a companion bill. H.R. 6242. next Monday. This indeed augurs well for better protection for the migrant farm workers who year after year diligently harvest our crops. * The other day I received a letter from Charles G. Yersak. chief of the bureau of migrant labor of the State of New Jersey which clearly shows the heed for Federal legislation in this field. Mr. Yersak has wide experience with the problems of the migrant and has been an outstanding champion of their interests. At the same time. he knows the farmers problems in securing sufficient and qualified labor. In the letter. he recounts two examples of crew leader actions which resulted in grave economic injury to the farmer.
