Mo. „ Demand for Cheap Labor H was found that these cities had ifproxitnately 63,700 Mexican-born workers, virtually all of whom had' crossed the border In the last eight I years. Those living or working in the western part of this district had been in this country seven to eight years. ’ while those in the eastern part had ■ come more recently, most of them havins been in the United States two ! years or less. This penetration 0 f the industrial and rural regions of the north is attributed to the demand for cheap labor | created when the 1924 immigration Uw shut off cheap labor from Euro-| pean countries. The greater parT of ! the milion or more native Mexiansj ' estimated to be in this country are S still clinging to the southwestern j i hinge of states, where they are near | their nat've heazth, but the call of ! labor agents and of slightly higher j j wages has been heard and the newest' | comers are passing on to the north j to take the places of the Southern and j Eastern Europeans who hove formed . the bulk of the unskilled labor available to the industrial plants. To Industrial Plants The majority of the Mexicans find | ' their way into steel mills, foundries, • railroad shops, packing plants arid! tanneries, but a goodly proportion have ’ taken up beet sugar farm jobs. In the I beet fields of Ohio, Michigan, lowa, Minnesota and North Dakota the Mexicans comprise from 75 to 90 per cent! of the workers. They have taken thei places vacated by the Belgians and Gorman-Russians whew are now drift-' ing into trades and small businesses! or who have set up as farmers on their i own account. J The "cheapness” of this type of labor is shown in the wages received by! those employed in the major industries the average being 45 cents an hour. 1 The 15,000 workers yi the l>eot fields j aberaged 1145 for the season and eked ol >t of ibis income by picking lip odd jobs in the ctities or in railroad shops Baring the winter. 0 !!*¥*¥¥s ¥ * ** 17 'NEWS FROM MAGLEY * • By * v Miss Theo Bauer * Many g U e S t s atfenefed the HomeC,mla S Sunday at the Magley ReTormed church.
