In holding a grower responsible for observing a certificate from a crew leader with whom he contracts. the penalty provisions of the act will apply. This requirement gives some teeth to the provision that the grower observe the certificate. as well as giving teeth to the requirement that crew leaders register. It should be clear that the penalty provisions of the act do not apply to growers in other respectsfor instance. a grower would not be subject to penalty if the crew leader misled his employees or made a false statement In securing his certificatebut it does require that the grower. as well as the crew leader. observe the law so important to migrant workers. In denying growers and farmers--who violate the requirement of observing a certificatethe facilities of the WagnerPeyser ActU.S. Employment Servicethe bill is consistent since it also denies to crew leaders who violate the act the services of the U.S. Employment Service. The two provisions I have spoken about are designed to encourage registration and strengthen the enforcementprocedures of the act--an act which was designed to end the exploitation by crew leaders of farmers. migrant workers. and the public generally. I urge adoption of the bill.
