Wayne Darrow. whom almost everyone at the Capitol knowscertainly everyone who is interested in questions related to agriculture. He stated: Farm labor: Secretary Wirtz of Labor Department has set his foot and the law down that therell be no more foreign labor brought into the United States for farmwork until and unless American workers are unavailable. The situation is similar to that of the early 1920s when industry was cut off from cheap foreign labor by the new immigration laws. The industrial uproar then was greater than the farm uproar now. Immigration restrictions in the 1920s led to unionization in the 1930s. We sympathize with the growers. Our war labor experience showed us the unreliability of domestic farm labor.
