SUGAR COMPANY

FOR MINNESOTA.
Contract for Mexican Work
ers Is Said to Be
One of Best.
SALARY AND BONUS
Consul General Approves
Agreement and to Aid
= in Recruiting Men.

A sample labor contract from the
Minnesota Sugar Company of Chaska.
Mimi, has been forwarded to the
Mexican Consul General here by the
secretary of the Honorary Commits
sion at Big Wells, Texas, for exam
ination and approval. After studying
the contract, the Consul General said
it is one of the most favorable to
Mexican laborers that he has seen and
he is advising the Honorary Commits
sion to assist representatives of the
sugar company in any way possible
to recruit Mexicans who are out Of
work.
No statement is made in the con-
tract as to the number of laborers
needed, but it is estimated that ap-
proximately 1000 will be recruited.
The Big Wells order, following the re-
cent movement from here of over 300
iaborers to the steel mills of Penn
sylvania, substantiates the statement
made by local labor agents that within
the next few months many thousands
of Mexican laborers would be moved

to be used in the cultivating and har-
vesting of the sugar beet crop of Min

Growing Need for LabOrers.
While the worS in the beet fields
is seasonal. it is believed that much
of the surplus Mexican labor in the
state will in the future find perma-
nent work in the North and East.
Labor experts say that the restriction
of European immigration has created
n demand in that part of the country
for unskilled labor. and large manu-
facturers are beginning 10 look to
Mexican labor TO supply the demand.
The labOrers taken to Pennsylvania
by the Bethlehem Steel Company, il
they prove satisfactory. will be given
permanent jobs. it was said by repre-
sentativeS of the company. and will be
reinforced by additional Mexican
labor.
