SUGAR BEET
LABOR PLAN
TAPPROVED
Evacuees VIII Be Handled on
County Basis Same as
Other States.

Valley county authorities signeo
an agreement Saturday afternoon
whereby Japanese evacuees NAV be
brought into the county to perform
beet labor under a plan already in
operation in Idaho and oregon. The
state subcommittee on farm-labor
which met in Helena Friday had
urged acceptance CT the plan.
Meeting here with the Valley
group group was Halter Gearheart
CT Chinook. Montana manager of
the U~tah-Idaho Sugar company,
who said that the labor should be
available by the end of this week.
He estimated more than 1000 work
ers would be needed in the Chin
ook factory district and about 100
in Valley county.
Evacuees are handled by each
county Individually. Each grower
must requisition through the United
States employment service for the
number of workers he wishes. The
requisition form provides he must
pay wages as established by the
department CT agriculture and must
buy a round-trip ticket for each
worker from the reception center.
In operation, the sugar company
will bear this expense, Mr.. Gear
heart said.
At any time either the governor
or the chairman of the board CT
county commissioners feels it nee
essary, the workers will be removed
whether there is still work for them
CIR not. 1t was stressed that local
labor still has preference, if it is
available.
The employment service also
must inspect housing facilities on
each farm and approve them. Local
law enforcement officers agree to
give the workers the same protec-
ton provided any ether resident Of
the county.
Those signing the agreement were
Sheriff E. L. Mcpherson, Nels C.
Briggs, chairman Of the county
commissioners board; Thomas A.
Wagner. chairman Of the depart
ment of agriculture war beard, and
Gearheart. 1t was signed later
by Thomas R. Marion, county at
torney. who was out of the county
but returned Sunday.
Other counties in the Chinook
district also have approved the
plan.
