JR.S bill to provide a voluntary farm placement program because it could alleviate some of the major problems of both the employer and the worker. We live in a county using. formerly. bracero labor for vegetables and domestic workers for fruit. Since the passage of Public Law 78. our observance of the handling of the workers under that act has made us feel that a similar act covering domestics would stabilize the labor market. assure the farmer of better workers. provide for more efficient use of labor supply. and eliminate many of the handicaps of the migrant workers by providing the contract and employment conditions enjoyed by the braceros under Public Law 78. Public Law 78 was valuable in teaching us how seasonal labor could be recruited. transported. and utilized in an orderly fashion to the benefit of both grower and worker. We are of the opinion that a Voluntary Farm Employment Service as outlined in Senator WILLIAMS bill has an excellent chance of success because of the past years of experience with the administration of Public Law 78.
