Pressure on WPA workers on sugar cane farms linked to Ellender
The report alleges that pressure from Ellender and allies forced WPA laborers to take sugar cane plantation jobs. Workers were promised $150 a day but paid as little as 75 cents, with overcharged company stores leaving them with almost nothing.
