Senate Committee on Labor Speech
"It is indeed a priviledge to address this body, so many of whose members have distinguished themselves over the years by their genuine concern for the welfare of farm workers. For this we are grateful. . We welcome the decision of this subcommittee to hold hearings on S 8 in order to explore still further the question of whether and in what way farm workers should be covered by the National Labor Relations Act, as amended."

Speech to Amalgamated Meat Cutters & Butchers
" . I am very anxious for the members of this great organization to know some of the details of the things that are going through, some of the hopes and aspirations, end also some of the brutalities, some of the injustices that are being committed against a group of American workers who are trying very desperately, under all sorts of disadvantages, to build a union."
