Caution Urged During Farm Wage Surveys
Reports say men are in the area contacting farmers about adjusting wages for Mexican laborers in cotton harvests last fall. Some claim to be with the Texas Employment Commission seeking extra payments from farmers who used Mexican workers underpaid. Farmers are urged to beware of fraudsters posing as wage survey officials. The last official word says 16 counties are surveyed to determine if farmers owe more money to contract workers. The prevailing wage was 1.75 dollars per 100 pounds, with 1.55 dollars minimum for alien workers under the U S Mexico agreement. farmers paying 1.55 must pay 20 cents more per 100 pounds. Money collected would go to the Mexican Foreign Ministry. Counties include Scurry, Borden, Fisher, Dawson, Howard, Nolan, and others.
