. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON

These conditions are, in brief
as follows:
/. The u. S. Employment
Service must certify that there
are not sufficient farm laborers
available in a given area to har-
vest war-vital crops.
2. The Farm Security Admin
istration may then enter into
contracts with the local farm
operators to recruit the neces-
sary farm labor in other areas.
3. The migrant workers and
their families are then moved
at government expense to the
critical areas, but the employers
pay to FSA SIS for each work
er employed to help defray the
costs of hiring and transporta-
ton. Employers must also fur
nish bond.
4. Workers are guaranteed
the prevailing wages of the
area, or a minimum of 80 cents
an hour, or the piecework equi-
valent of 30 cents an hour,
whichever is highest.
5. Workers are guaranteed a
minimum of rs per cent employ
ment during the time of the
contract. When not working-as
in moving from one farm area
to the other or while waiting for
crops to mature or presumably
in bad weather-the FSA will
furnish subsistence and shelter.
6. Adequate housing and SAN
itary facilities are guaranteed by
FSA.
7. No deductions can be made
from workers pay for commits
sions or fees or fines, and the
workers have the right to make
their own purchases at stores
of their own choosing, thus eli
minating the company store"
evil.
8. At the conclusion of en-
ployment, workers and their
families are transported back to
their original homes, again at
government expense.
AN OKIE HEAVEN
What all this amounts to is
probably an old-time Okie's idea
of heaven. The conditions are
probably not high for many
of the more prosperous farm
areas, but with many of the
poorer farm areas, such wages,
working conditions and guaran-
tees are unheard of.
1t can be argued that all these
guarantees are necessary to pro-
vide an adequate wartime farm
labor supply to take off neces-
sary war crops, so the costs will
have to be met. A further ne
cessity may come from rubber
and gas shortages. But If increas-
ed farm labor costs are to be
passed on to consumers of farm
products, the inflationary ten
denotes of these government
guarantees are obvious.
The way in which these naini-
mum wages and workin. condi-
tions came to be accepted makes
an interesting background for
this whole move. When the u.
S. government first approached
the Mexican government on the
question of importing Mexican
labor, the Mexican government
was extremely coy, remember
ing the abuses which Mexican
workers sustained in the last
war. The Mexican government
held out for the guarantees list
ed above, and in he end got
them.
But IL Is doubtful If, when
these conditions were being
agreed to in Mexico City, it was
thought they might become the
minimum farm labor standards
for the entire United States.

CLUMSY, WASN'T HE?


red-headed stranger with a
weakness for obeying impulses
left several hundred dollars
damage in his wake at the Mis-

D.. He climbed into locomotive,
standing idle on the track with
steam up, footed the whistle and
opened the throttle. Frantic
yardmen caught him at the sta
ton after the engine ran
through an open switch, left the
track and wrecked a loading
dock. He jerked free and escap-
ed before police arrived and
hasn't been found yet.

WAYNE ASKS Her NElGHB0RS
IN MICHIGAN FOR HELP

ToMchioon voters of the other 81 counties:
This is an appeal addressed particularly to you
The motter dealt with is old story to voters OF our
own County of Woyne
We refer to Proposal No. z on the constitutional
amendment ballot you will be handed at the polls
Nov g. No. is the proposal authorizing Wayne to
reoroonize it's form Of government in way outlined
in the intended amendment
Principally, it would give Wayne County single
administrative heed and small legislative body,
where we now have dozen elected "executves" and
board Of supervisors thot with lol members is big
ger than most stote legislatures. 1t also provided
the new government shall be nonPortison and be re-
stricted in the hiring of employees by civil service
system.
This being on appeal for your votes, you will
4 want to know what business it is Of yours. We hope
to convince you thot 1T IS YOUR BUSINESS, be-
cause without your votes the amendment can not
be adopted
The daily monitor leader. [volume] (Mount Clemens, Mich.) 1942-19??, 1942-10-05

II could not be- even if Wayne voted solidly for it,
and that won't happen. Here, elsewhere in the
Stote it is being fought by machine politicians and
machines in both political parties, having their own
shady reasons for wanting Wayne government left
as it is.
So the upshot is that, unless we can win the sup
port Of respectable, Iow-obiding citizens OUTSIDE
Wayne County, AS WELL AS HERE, Wayne govern
ment WILL stoy as it is.
Here in Woyne citizens know why that would be
bad, for Wayne and for Michigan They have the
best Of reasons for knowing The Ferguson grand jury
only recently wound up its inquiry into the County
government with two auditors, sheriff and prose-
eutor indicted for eroftine as we'll as number Of
lesser officioIs and former officols
The conditions Leading to these indictments long
had been known. Attempts have been made previous
y to remedy Them The basic trouble is too many Of
ficols and, for that reason too little responsibility
We venture to say there not 500 people in
Wayne County who can name three of the elected or
appointed supervisors We venture to soy not many
more can name both coroners the auditors let alone
give an informed opinion Of their conduct in office
1t may be thot in YOUR county the present
form Of county government gives reasonable sotis-
foction. In Woyne on urban community Of over
100000 souls it simply does OF work. The people
will not take time, if they could to keep track
Of so many Officials And where public scrutiny is
lacking, the right kind Of government just will not
flourish
This amendment we ore asking you to support is
drofted to apply only to Wayne. Yet we think no
elaborate argument will be needed to convince you
thot the conditions it seeks to correct Of
o every Michigan voter. Wayne County government
is part Of the government Of Michigan. The kind Of
government we have here effects government and
politics throughout the Stoe. II you doubt thot ask
yourself why potcos elsewhere in the Stote ore
fighting reform in Wayne County!
i The ordinary ow-obidne citizen Of Wayne is
entitled as citizen Of Michigan to decenty respon-
sibe government and he cant get it without YOUR
help Will YOU help hnn?-From The Detroit News.
