Chapter 27

The main conflict created for the cotton pickers is that once someone hears about a job opportunity, they tell their friends and they go on to tell their friends. Once they got to get the job everyone's been talking about there's already too many cotton pickers. The boss will either tell the cotton pickers there's no work available or they'll let them work but they lower the pay. Another conflict that arouses is the very low pay. The boss takes advantage of the cotton pickers because he knows they're desperate for work and won't find a job anywhere else. They over work and at the end of the day they get paid about 5 cents.
