Excerpt from Legal Status of Agricultural Workers Under State Labor Legislation Examination of State labor laws reveals a conspicuous practice on the part of legislatures to deny persons employed in farming legis lative protection. Some of the reasons which have been advanced for the exclusion of this group of workers from the provisions of State labor legislation have been: (a) a belief that the administrative difficulties would make administrative costs so high as to be prohibi tive; (b) a fear that the small farmers would be placed at a disadvantage in comparison With large farmers if the legislation applied equally to both; (0) a tradition that the farm hand does not require protection and (d) that inclusion of farm laborers would result in defeat of any proposed labor legislation.
