Valley cotton workers imported to aid grain harvest
In Brownsville on August 6, about 2500 Black laborers were en route to the Lower Rio Grande Valley to assist cotton farmers and ginners facing a labor shortage. Workers come from Waco Fort Worth Dallas and other Texas regions. Ginners prepare a blacklist of those who left for Corpus Christi to curb a repeat of this importation in future years. Labor shortages force gin operations to run only half time as cotton remains available for picking before rains could damage tram.
