Labor shortage drives Mexican workers to rail gangs
The labor scarcity in Iowa forced hiring of Mexican workers. More than 200 were released by the Rock Island Line at Fort Madison and bound by wartime contracts, but they did not return to Mexico. They dispersed to diverse wartime cities, taking rail yard and gang jobs. Wages average 45 cents an hour, higher than in Mexico. Estimates say about 1200 Mexicans worked near Des Moines and beyond. Cato Sells, former attorney general, now Commissioner of Indian Affairs, spoke at Cornell College Mount Vernon where he received a Doctor of Laws degree awarded by Cornell in 1888.
