For Citizen Farm Laborers
Minimum wages have been
established for citizen farm
labor by the U„ S. Labor
Department, along with addi-
tional requirements on
working conditions, even
though the just-ended 87th
Congress refused to act
favorably on such legisla-
tion, according to Bob Lilly,
manager of Valley Farm Bu^
reau.
These new requirements
covering citizen farm labor
became effective September
28, 1962 in an order issued
bv the Labor Department.
The new order requires that
farmers now requesting bra-
ceros must first pay, or offer
to pay, citizen farm labor,
regardless of training, age,
or sex, a minimum wage of
70 cents per hour, plus free
housing, transportation and
occupational insurance. This
applies to approximately 150
farmers in the Valley area
now employing 638 braceros,
according to Lilly. The mini-
mum wage of 70 cents per
hour for braceros was ar-
bitrarily set by a Depart-
mental ruling on March 29
of this year, but did not

include citizen farm labor.
This latest ruling, dated
September 28, 1962, reads
as follows:
“An employer desiring to
obtain undue hardship excep-
tion must offer to domestic
workers the following mini-
mum condition of employ-
ment:
“(1) Free transportation
and subsistence to the job to
the same extent an employer
is now paying for trans-
porting Mexican nationals
under the Mexican Labor
Program.
“(2) Return transportation
and subsistence upon satis-
factory completion of the
work contract.
“(3) Free housing for the
worker.
“(4) Where central food
service facilities are used,
make meals available to
workers at cost, but not to
exceed $ 1.75 per day.
“(5) Free occupational in-
surance.
“(6) A guarantee of em-
ployment for at least three-
fourth of the work days of the
total period for which the
worker is hired.
“(7) Where appropriate,
free transportation to and
from the place of employ-
ment for the workers living
in accommodations provided
for such workers by the em-
ployers.”
The mininlum wages,
transportation, housing and
insurance requirements for
citizen farm labor are en-
tirely new. The Secretary of
Labor has no more authority
to specify such requirements
for citizen farm labor than
does the Texas Employment
Commission, Lilly stated.
However, by this action, as
well as earlier action re-
garding braceros, the La-
bor Department issues rules
and regulations more readily
without legislation than with
legislative authority, Lilly
continued.
Employers that use bra-
ceros in the future must alsu
start participating in the Ad-
ministration’s Area Devel-
opment Act and the Man-
power Development and
Training Act. (These are the
names given, to the “New
Frontier’s ” version of the
PWA, WPA, CCC, etc., Acts
of the 30’s.)
This ruling results in the
establishment of minimum
wages for citizen farm labor
if any farmers apply for ex-
tension of bracero contracts,
This minimum or prevailing
wage for citizen farm labor
less than one year ago was
50 to 60 cents per hour
in the Valley area accord-
ing to the Texas Employ-
ment Commission survey.
Thus the Labor Depart-
ment has been successful
in increasing citizen farm
labr wages up to 40% per
hour in seven months, stated
Lilly.
It would be wise for far-
mers to give this latest
Labor Department ruling a
thorough study before agree-
ing to its terms and rami-
fications, Lilly concluded.
