for the work this year.
The questioners did not content
themselves with the wages alone
but inquired as to the reasons for
the answers given by the persons
testifying.
RANCHER TESTIFIES
First person to testify when the
hearing opened around 10 am. Sat-
urday was John Kubler, Calexico
rancher. He apparently thought the
wages paid last year would be about
right. He said he paid $3.50 for
baling and 35 cents for cutting and
raking. His employees received $165
a month from January to August
and at the end of the season he
gave them a bonus of Sis extra for
each month. Men on the press, he
said, received two cents. He paid
seven cents a bale for hauling and
stacking. Common laborers in his
neighborhood sometimes received
IS cents an hour, Kubler said. The
genera level in his opinion, was
60 cents an hour for ranch hands.
He thought man should not re-
ceive $40 to $50 day for an old
rake.
Several men in the auC ience said
some of these figures we're low, de-
claring the rates were somewhat
