Farm Bureau
Backs Labor
Relations Bill
The American Farm Bureau
Federation today endorsed pro
posed legislation to establish a
Farm Labor Relations Board
In a statement prepared for
presentation at a Senate Agu
culture Subcommittee hearing,
Arthur H West president ot
the New Jeisey Faim Bureau
and a membei of the executive
committee of the Ameucan
Farm Bureau Federation Board
of Directors, said a bill (S 2203)
introduced by Senator George
Murphy of California is a com
promise which “offers substan

ers and substantial advantages
to farmers as compared with the
existing situation ”
The Farm Buieau leader said
the Murphy bill would protect

in the Labor Management Rela

“No one who has not stood in
a farmer’s shoes can appreciate
fully the reasons for his con

union of power to prevent the
harvest of his crop,” West said
“Many farmers have only one
pay day a year when they

hopes to get enough to pay off
the investment he has made and
to have something left over ”

“Thus its language and con

He noted that the concept of
a sepaiate labor relations sta

peculiar to an industry is not
unprecedented.
