STILL HOPE
FOR MONTANA
BEET LABOR
Shower Has Conference with
State Official and Gets
Encouragement.
Local Action Taken After Sen.
Murray Says No Mexicans
VIII Be Sent Here.

Glasgow Chamber of Commerce
officials, working in cooperation
with growers, today were seeking
immediate action to secure sugar
beet labor fer this section, lack of
which threatens to reduce acreage
to a figure even lower than last
year.
Local action was taken by Pres
ident Leo Hoffman after announce
ment from Washington by Sen.
James E. Murray that the immi-
grafton and naturalization service
had refused to permit the import
ation of skilled sugar beet labor
from Mexico. Action of the immi-
grafton authorities, the senator said,
was reached upon a report from
Paul V. McNutt, chairman OF the
man power commission, that "the
United States employment service
decided such Importation of labor
is unnecessary at this time"
Josef Shower, Glasgow Chamber
secretary, wired from Helena this
morning. Through cooperation of
State Agricultural Commissioner
KruSe, sat in conference with Gov
erncr Ford and Farm Placement
Supervisor j.. P. Brennan. The. gov
ernor stated We are working on the
beet labor situation with some de-
gree of success. New information is
constantly coming in Brennan stat
ed Several government agencies are
arranging to bring beet labor into
Montana. Prospects are bright for
such labor arriving beginning May
90 :"
Came After Report
Senator Murray said action of
McNutt was taken en- a report from
the employment service which read
in part as follows:
:" . Required labor can be re-
cruited in this country by mere Wig
orcus action on the part of the
United States employment service in
cooperation with beet sugar repre-
sentatives. and that arrangements
are now being made with the sugar
growers to recruit the labor in Ark
ansas, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma
and New Mexico"
1T seems perfectly evident that
the required beet labor is not avail
able to the local offices of the en-
ployment services or the needs of
thousands of Montana ~beetgrowers
would have been met" Senator
Murray said. He also urged the i'm
service to re-evaluate the
situation in Montana and added
that the planting and growing
seasons will not wait upon the Unit
ed States employment service or
any other federal agency to X

programs
