ers Are Ostracized.

PHOENIX.-Stories Of exploitation
and social ostracism of migratory
workers presented in "The Grapes
Of Wrath" and other works Of fic-
tion are closely paralleled In a re-
port on migrant families prepared
by PWA research workers.
The report, entitled migratory
Cotton Workers in Arizona" gave a
detailed account Of the activities Of
518 migrant families in this state
early in 1888.
It said homeless workers were at.
tracted to Arizona by distorted ad-
vertising, only to find below subsist-
ence wages, unsanitary living condi-
tions, and social barriers as rigid
and infexible as to be found any,
where.
Seek Cheap Labor.
Although Arizona's most valuable
crop (cotton) cannot be harvested
without them." the report said,
''itinerant cotton pickers are regard
ed as pariahs. and farmers feel
their children are degraded by con-
tact in school with poor migrants.
The report said as much as $780,
600 had been spent by Arizona pro-
ducers In a single year to attract
a cheap labor supply to this state.
Mediums usually used were display
advertising in newspapers, hand
bills, and publicity, all promising
good pay, good living conditions in
the camps and healthy. salu-
brious climate"
Actually" the investigators re-
ported. possible earnings appear to
have been much lower than those
stated in the advertising. Under
prevailing wages their jobs ordina-
rily provide only a meager day-to-
day existence at best, and the work.
ers have no reserves to tide them
over slack times"
Average earnings Of cotton pick
er were found to be about So to So
a week, and only In one instance
was a worker able to earn as much
as SIC a week. Large families with
four workers or more averaged q
gross income Of $18.38 for a weeks
work.
willing to Work.
The report presented scene Of
poor living conditions in the camps,
describing them as filthy, make
shift collection Of shelters, frequent
ly lacking even elementary sanitary
facilities"
Many migrants must appeal for
direct relief upon completion Of the
harvest, the report said, because
their meager earnings will not carry
them as far as the next area where
a harvest may be under way.
''The migrants plan for further
movement at the end of the season
reflects his bewilderment and hope
lessness in a situation where few
had enough money to 60 anywhere.
"The very fact of this migration
is an indication Of his will to under
60 hardships for the sake Of a job.
The migrant workman is not relief
applicant by choice, but by bitter
necessity"

The voice of labor. (Cumberland, Md.) 1938-1942, 1940-09-26

Stand By America Week" proclaimed by
Governor Herbert r. O'Conor passed over
Cumberland without it showing any visible eff
feets upon the Mayor and City Council Of
Cumberland.
AT least they made no move to respect the
Constitution by repeating their illegal Section
Ten of Ordinance No 1871 which they passed
some time ago and which the United States De-
partment of Justice officials declare is out of
order.
Many weeks ago the general counsel of the
United Rubber Workers of America sent a
courteous and reasoning letter to Mayor Irvine
on the question. Irvine did not have even the
common decency to acknowledge its receipt
let alone answer it and state his own opinions
Meanwhile. though the provisions of Sec
ton Ten are the subject of loud outlaws by til
arrangements Of all local newspapers who. like
the general public. are of the opinion that once
sgain the Cumberland City Council has got
i.sof in quite mess through listening to bum
l--al advice from the local attorney for the
,.epublic Steel Corporation.
The voice of labor. (Cumberland, Md.) 1938-1942, 1940-09-26

In our last issue we drew attention to the
fact that the Cumberland News was quite eager
to editorialize on the so-caled polls of public
opinion the preferences of voters in the
Presidential Campaign.
Believing that the Cumberland News might
wish to come close to home and conduct a
poll Of public opinion right here in Allegany
County we proposed in our last issue that the
editor might wish to cooperate in taking poll
in conjunction with representatives of the
VOICE OF LABOR
Up until the time of going to press we have
not heard from the Cumberland News. but we
have knowledge of the fact that its editor read
the proposal.
In view of the silence of the paper we are
inclined to believe that the outfit is afraid to
have poll conducted here as its results would
entirely confirm the fact that its editor is
writing through his hat when he mentions the
great popularity which polls far away from
this community are allegedly showing for his
candidate Willkie
II we are mistaken in this assumption we
suggest that there is still time for the editor to
accept the proposal.
May we again suggest that his continued
disinterest is a taeit admission that his candi-
dates chances are so slim that they will need
to dig him up after the ballots are counted in
Novemberp
May we further propose that he lay off the
poll game" until he is willing to take home
town interest in itp

My congratulations on the

Frank. its philosophical content

In my opinion you make an
error in asserting that the Cor.

sustain this belief as you will see
by reading the news columns OF
this issue. And do not fear, Frank,
that 1t will be impossible to ever
work again at the Celanese plant =
because OF your actions. My own
opinion is that Union members
will not visit the results OF your
misguided action upon you and
that the company will welcome
one OF its partisans. such as you
have proved to be. with wide open
arms.
A little advice. Frank. given In
