Mexican Laborers Starving at Blackfoot Sugar Plant 1919

U and I Sugar hired 1500 Mexican laborers for work in the beets in Idaho (not all in Bingham County) with stipulations in their contract to withhold housing allowance and the cost of transportation to and from Mexico. About thirty were held at the Sugar Factory in rudimentary housing through the winter when the Catholic priest, Father Gresl, visited to find them cold and starving. He went before the Bingham County Commissioners to plead their case and the County granted the workers four tons of coal and a thousand pounds of flour. U and I was absolved of wrongdoing by the government labor entity at that time.
