MIGRANTS PROBLEMS DISCUSSED
BEFORE TRUMAN COMMISSION

Washington (LPA) - Migratory
workers are economically, socially
and politically second class citizens
of the United States. So declared
a spokesman for the National Farm
Labor Union before the Presidents
Commission on Migratory Labor
during a two-day hearing.
The five-man commission has
been directed to make report on
the problems of migratory labor
and what should be the administra-
tive and legislative policy of the
government.
The union representative, II. L..
Mitchell, said migratory workers
have been excluded from the Fair
Labor Act, the Labor Management
Relations Act, the Social Security
act, and by most states from work
mems compensation. He pointed
out that none of the laws provid-
ing guarantees for farm owners
have carried any provisions for the
protection of the farm workers.
One of the main problems is that
'large growers want 81 pound
for 81 100 pounds to get it pick
ed" he said. Most farm operators
deliberately flood their commun-
tiles with labor to drive down the
wages. he added.
Similar testimony and sugges-
tions for change were made by rep
resentatives Of other unions, reli-
gious and welfare groups. The only
voice raised against suggestions
for improving the migrants lot
came from Florida farm man.
ager, who said many of the mig
rants create their own problems.
The Commission will next con-
duct on-the-spot surveys through
out the country.
Ernest Schwarz, executive-secre-
tary of the Committee on Latin
American Affairs, expressed "be-
wilderment" at the absence of
labor representation on the COM
mission. If migratory workers are
to live decently as human beings,
he said, they must be guaranteed,
among other things, the prevail
ing union wages, adequate housing
and sanitary conditions and pro-
lection against discrimination be-
cause OF race, color or national
background. He proposed that
union representatives be on all
committees dealing with the work
ing and living conditions of mig
rants at all contracting points and
during contract negotiations. He
said that union representatives
must be granted free access to all
places where those workers are
employed.
Speaking for the National Child
Labor Committee, Sol Markoff
said that unbelievably substandard
conditions for migratory workers
still exist in many sectors of the
country. He favors state sponsored
camp developments and child care
centers. He told of two he visited
where Living conditions were
wholesome and the workers had a
dignity not seen in ordinary field
camps.
Mrs. Amber Arthur, represent
ing both the National Educational
Association and the Alliance for
Guidance of Rural Youth, called
the temporary shelters provided
migrants on the jobs deplorably
substandard. Mrs. Arthur pointed
out that one Of the worse things
the migrant families have to face
is "the humiliation of rejection by
the community in which they
work.. She recommended establish
ment of a Government Inter-De-
partment Committee on Migratory
Labor to promote legislation meet
ing the needs of the migrants and
To stimulate state and local com
munity action.

ANCIENT CAVE HOME 5. {. ALA5kAy 1850
oF ALEUT5 FOUND IN SALMON PACK HALF
ALEUTIAN |5LANDSA5 BIG AS IN 1919

Total salmon pack in Southeast
Alaska up until September 16 was
less than half as many cases as
were packed up to the same date
in 1949, according to figures re-
leased by the fisheries division OF
the Fish and Wildlife Service.
Total Alaskan pack up until last
weekend was over one million cas-
es below last years total at the
same date.
In Southeast Alaska, 1,151, 1855
cases had been packed by last week
end, while 2,417,967 had been put
up during the same period in 1919.
Only the eastern district showed
an increase over last year, with 49,
564 cases packed-10 900 more than
in 1949.
The pack of chums generally ex-
ceeded that of pinks, with only the
Ketchikan district showing slight
ly larger pack of pinks.
The Ketchikan district, which
packed total of 1,044, 1875 cases
of salmon last year, canned only
544,287 cases this year. The Peters,
burg district, however, showed the
greatest drop, packing less than
one third the number of cases as
were packed in 1919. Petersburg's
total this year was 109,621.
Southeast Alaska was responsible
for the sharp drop in the Alaska
pack this year, since both Central
Alaska and Western Alaska packed
more fish this year than last, the
FWS figures show.
Only remaining SEEMING season is
a short open period from October
5 through Is to take advantage

ADAK, Alaska, Sept. 22-tR-The
homes of ancient cave jewellers have
been found by University OF Michi-
gan scientists on an unnamed rock
in the Aleutian ISLANDS.
The discovery has been reported
to the Naval operating base here
by TED Bank, former University of
Idaho football coach who headed
a University of Michigan expedi-
ton ending its second summer in
the Islands.
He said the tiny place with the
caves lies a quarter-mile off the
southwestern tip of Tanaga Is
land. The scientists tentatively have
named it Michigan Rock"
Bank and two companions reach
cd the rock after a four-hour strug-
gle through tide trips in a rubber
lie raft from their field camp on
Tanaga.
They found several ancient Aleut
burial sites on the rock, but said
their big discovery came when they
entered the cave and realized 1t
had been used as permanent
dwelling place by many generations
of cave Jewellers.
They said more recent Aleuts
used caves usually as storage or
burial vaults, but lived in semi
underground sod-covered huts.
Conditions in the cave suggested
it will prove to extremely DID,"
Bank said. THE discovery is more
important than the several ancient
burial sites we uncovered"
The expedition members, dig
ging into the hard-packed floor of
the cave, found distinct layers of
organic material, including sea ur-
chin shells, fish bones, sea otter
bones, whale bones, grass mating
used for wrapping bodies and parts
of wooden boat frames.
Bank said a portion of a hui
man skull, unusually thick, also
was found.
Specimens Of the various earth
layers, indicating successive occupa-
tions of the cave, will be analysed
this winter in laboratories in an
effort to determine how long ago
they were laid down by ancient
man.
