GHILD AND ALIEN LABOR IN BEETS

American Farm Worker Not Protected by Sugar Tariff.

LOW WAGES ARE BEING PAID

“Yankees Not Wanted,” Bay Fleid Managers in Colorado and . Py . Michigan. ; ‘

By-H. E. MILES,

Chalrman of the Fair Tariff- League. The American farmer and the American worker are always the chief objects of solicitude, put forward by 1 the high tariff politiclans, when an upward revision of the tariff is in order. That has always been true and is now true in Congress in connection with efforts to enact the high rates in the Fordney so-called Permanent Tariff BilL : ; | ' : The farmer as well as the worker, however, has come to realize that any benefit he may derive from an exorbijant tariff, levied in the name of protection on an article which he produces, Is more than offset by . the tribute which he must pay on arficles which he consumes but does not ralse, Sugar is a good example of how this works out with reference to the farmier. The American beet sugar industry ‘prospered under a protective tariff of one cent a pound on Cuban raw sugar, The Emergency Tariff Act increased this 60 per cent. One of the arguments advanced for this tremendous inerease¢ was that the beet sugar industry needed this protection In order to protect the American farm laborer engaged In raising sugar beets. Unfortunately for this argument there Is very little American farm labor in the beet sugar industry as the records of the Department of Labor ard the Department of Agriculture show. Sugar beets are raised and harvested almost entirely by the cheapest grade pbtainable. of foreign labor, contracted for by the sugar manufacturers and turned over to the beet growers. Field bosses in the beet sugar seetions have indeed frequently told investigators that American labor is not wanted because “a Yankee can't stand the hard work.” : e Child Labor In Majority Not only is the larger part of the beet sugar labor this low priced for. eign labor which we are warned against but even a larger part are the childrén of these foreign families. In Colorado alone, one of the most Important beet sugar states, the Na. tional Child Labor Committee 'found 5,000 children between the ages of six and ' fifteen years, practically all of alien parents, regularly engaged in the cultivation of sugar beets: From the time the beets are in the ground until tHey are delivered at the factory the hardest kind of manual la- | bor is required. And much of this is done by small children. These children spend long, hard hours on their hands and knees weeding and thinning the beets. Then when the beets are full grown they spend more long, hard hours lifting the heavy roots to their knees and with a wide sweep of a dangerously sharp knife cut off the tops. The Federal Children’s Bureau made an intensive study of the Colorado sitvation,’ Of 1,077 included in this study seven-tenths were the children of contract laborers, Over one-fourth of them were under ten years old, a small percentage under eight, Less than one-fifth were as much as fourteen years old. Considerably over a half ranged from nine to thirteen. From 89 to 85 per cent, according to the process in which the child was _engaged, worked nine hours or more a day. From one-seventh to one-third, again varying- with the process, worked eleven hours or more a day. The average working day for all processes was usually between nine and ten hours, . : , Evil Effect on Children o Postural deformities and malpositions were found in 70 per cent of the shildren examined@ by the Bureau’s ohysicians. Another serious effect is ‘he interference with their educatlon. Among 930 children from uine to sixteen years of age for whom school records were obtalned over 40 per cent were from one to seven years below the normal grade for their age. The general study of the National Child Labor Committee in Colorado ‘and Michigan indicates that these conditions hold generally throughont the beet raising sections. A farmer who owns or leases land contracts with the sugar company to furnish a certain number of acres on which beets are to be grown. The company agrees to furnish the hand labor. The company then contracts with a laborer, usually a Russian, Jap or Mexican, to do the work on a definite number of acres. The number of acres a laborer contracts to care for is based largely on ‘the number of children he has, o The labor employed in the Colorado beet flelds is practically all foreign la‘bor, Mexican, Japanese and Russian. The Mexicans and Japanese, however, do not work their children as much as do the Russians, The Russian' children often begin work as early as four or five years of age. M ey In Michigan conditions are very sim- | llar, excepting that the natlonalities of the workers are more diversified, and there are fewer Russlans and Mexlcans ‘and no Japanese. They are made up largely of Hungarians, Slavs from the small provinces, Polish and Germans. In Michigan, as In Colora-do,-the beet people are explolting the forelgn laborer and his children, ‘tures any pretense that a high tarift on sigar will In any way protect Amer-
