plOyerS lear, apparently with just
cause. that such an organization
made UP of so many ill-fitted parts,
composed of so many easily influ-
enced persons, would be a weapon
of ruin for employer and laborer
alike.
Therefore, although not actively
opposing organization, the employ
er appears to exercise certain
amount of discrimination for his
own protection. He puts it this
way:
Il hire WhomeYer ! want. II IS
too big a chance to hire a man I
know is liable to start trouble, even
a minor disturbance. AS for racial
discrimination. that is a matter for
personal taste among the employer
Some like Filipinos because they are
more skillful at one line, or because
they work hard Others prefer
Mexicans or Negroes for similar
reasons.
Need One Race
one point, however, most agree
on is that a crew of all one race
is preferable. A polyglot crew is
more liable TO be troublesome.
A point often criticized among
field labor is the alacrity with which
employers call the law" in case OF
labor trouble This. the employers
intimate. is under the heading of
preparedness. Beyond that it is
accounted for partly by 'gunshy-
ness and partly by that same driv-
ing speed necessary for saving the
crop.
An employer who a short time
before had called the sheriff's Of
flee for help in a wage dispute
declared:
We didn't anticipate trouble. but
neither did we shut our eyes to the
possibility Of it. The crop had tc
be moved We merely played safC
and had deputies on hand"
A factor often overlooked, an
other employer pointed out. in tn
calling in of officers is the possib-
ility of damaging a crop through 2
fight among the lahorers them
selves. A gang fight among seVera
hundred could wreck a valuable field
in a few minutes" he declared.
