Show SPANISH FARM HANDS COMING TO AMERICA They Desire to Reach Country Vhorfc "Work Is Continuous Throughout the Year. MADRID, Dec. 27. (By the A.SFOoiated Press.) Large numbers of agricultural workers from all parts of Spain are awaiting at Ferrol and other ports for transportation to America, both North and South. This is one of tho results of the new ''social conditions brought about in Spain by the war, and Increased wages. For years the Spanish farmer had paid his help about three pesetas (nominally 60 cents) daily during the harvest. A.s this was just about sufficient for the employee to subsist upon, the farmer also allowed his men and women sufficient to buy food during the winter. This amount was decided by the farmer himself and varied in proportion to the generosity of the giver. Last year the farm hands, like almost every other class of labor in Spain, organized or-ganized a union, with the result that wages during the harvest increased from ! the century-old 3 pesetas daily to from 1 lp to 25 pesetas daily. Therefore, when ! the winter came on and there was no I work, the farmer, instead of following ! the old convention of handing out doles ! to his employees, told them .as they were now earning good wages they should save sufficient to keep themselves during the I winter. ! Those who had saved, or, at least, a i proportion of them, decided to move to i some country where money could be earned the year around. |
