Texas Cotton Farmers Attack Pace Bill in Washington
A group of Texas cotton growers from the Panhandle to the south-west converged on Washington to oppose federal wetback labor legislation and the Pace cotton bill. They warned the Pace measure would curtail acreage and harm Texas cotton, arguing it would revert to historic limits and hurt western and southern regions. They urged more employer justice and opposed federal controls amid migratory labor hearings.
