Supply of Workers

WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.
(UP) - Mexican workers
will be imported into the
United States under the
sponsorship of several gov
ernment agencies to combat a
growing shortage in agricultural
labor, the office of war informa-
ton announced last night.
The agriculture department and
the war manpower commission will
cooperate to provide funds for
transporting the workers and to
set up a system of working stand
ards.
The owl reported that S500,0O0
had been allocated to the farm
security administration from Presi-
dent Rooseveltis emergency fund,
and that Congress probably would
be asked to provide money for a
long-term progam to finance free
transportation.
Most of the Mexicans will work
in places where such labor is GUS
tomarily employed, such as the cot
ton areas of the southwest and the
sugar beet areas of the west" the
announcement said. They will be
paid the customary wage for the
vicinity in which they work, except
that they may not be paid less
than 30 cents an hour; will be en-
ployed at least three quarters of
the time, and will be assured of
adequate housing.
The agreement also includes a
provision that the laborerS will be
returned home upon conclusion of
their contracts, and they will be
exempt from compulsory military
