U. S. Immigration Service Bans Import
Of Mexican Labor For Work On Farms

Farmers Congress, of Austin, re-
quested permission to import approx
mately $1,000 unskilled Mexican
laborers for a period of not more than
six months. Similar applications were
received from the Elephant Butte
Agricultural Association, of Las
Cruces, New Mexico, the Bay City
(Texas) Chamber of Commerce, and
the Arizona Farm Bureau Federation
the last for permission to import
1900 Mexican laborers.
Basis of Ruling Stated
In denying the requests of these
organizations, the immigration and
Naturalization Service ruling stated
that additional agricultural labor, if
required in Texas and Arizona, could
be obtained from WPA and state re.
lief rolls and by attracting migratory
workers from Oklahoma and Cali
fornia.
In addition, it was pointed out, the
U. S. Employment Service is now ne
gotiating with the Indian Service, De.

the request of the South Texas
Chamber of Commerce, the Dirt
Farmers Congress, the Arizona Farm
Bureau Federation and other organi-
cations in Texas, Arizona and New
Mexico for permission to import agri-
cultural labor from Mexico to harvest
cotton and feed crops.
"No Real Emergency"
The services ruling on the applica-
ton followed an extensive investiga-
ton into the agricultural labor market
in these states and conferences with
State and Federal employment agen-
cies in the area. The ruling held that
sufficient domestic labor could be OBJ
tanned locally or from neighboring
states to handle the crops and that
"no real emergency is presented to
Justify the importation of foreign
labor"

Turning on Bridges, Tobin said:
"There is no doubt in my mind that
he is guilty. He is guilty of fostering
and encouraging organizations detri-
mental to the United States. Bridges
has done more to destroy the soli-
darity of labor than all the other
enemies of labor combined. He has
created bitterness and dissension."
In an eloquent appeal for loyal de-
votion to the national defense pro-
gram, Tobin declared that the United
States must do all it can to crush
Nazism and prevent the menace of to-
talitarianism from ever reaching our
shores. He advocated the strongest
possible support for Great Britain.
