Noting that the $100 million federal subsidy paid to sugar growers by the Department of Agriculture is conditioned on their payment of "fair and reasonable" wages, their lawyers tried for a sort of garnishment in reverse. As a result, Federal Judge John Pratt has just issued a preliminary injunction holding up all subsidy payments until an amended wage is established and paid for "all labor performed on or after Oct. 1, 1971," when the harvest began.
