Report: "The Forgotten People" - Dale Wright - New York World Telegram & Sun
A 30-page, slick paper booklet published earlier this year by the New York State Migrant Labor Committee boasts proudly that the state "marches forward" in long strides in its handling of itinerant farm workers. Photographs of smiling laborers and their children beam from its pages - at work, at play, in school and in church. The committee booklet spells out step-by-step the regulations under which more than 25,000 transient crop pickers who come into the state every year live and work.
Description:The ninth and second to last article in Wright's series on migrant workers focuses on New York State.
