Jaunt To Puerto
Governor Edmund G. Brown
returned to his desk in Sacramento last. week. after a two
weeks’ absence that included attendance at the Governors’ Conference in Puerto Rico and a series of speeches and appearance
in Southern California.
He immediately asked for andreceived a ‘detailed report on
problems of supplying farm labor
in areas of critical shortage in
California.
S. G. Goodman, acting director
of employment, reportei that the
first emergency, which involved
the peach harvest, especially in
northern Merced County, was
met by a series of coordinated
“actions worked out by the State
Department of Employment in
cooperation with growers and the
federal government.
Goodman reported the emergency was caused by “several
days of hot weather. which ripened the crop very rapidly a
shriveling up of the “domestic }
labor “reserve due to high levels
of employment throughout California, and az. slowing down. Gn
can nationals who had previously
been. authorized and who constituted a significant part of the
projected work force.”
He explained that the delay in
arrival of Mexican workers was
due to “a breakdown on the Mexican railroad which held up their
transportation” and “peak harvest requirements of northern
Mexico”s cotton crop,” which resulted in diversions south of the
border.
As soon as the critical nate
of the situation became apparent,
the State Department of Employment hurried key staff people into the area to take urgent
action.
