During the twenties and thirties of the twentieth century, the Chaco, which was one of the Argentine National Territories, was one of the most remarkable socio-economic processes in the country following the success of the primary culture and industrialization of cotton. This motivated the attraction of strong internal and external immigration quotas that arrived in this jurisdiction for plaintiff's benefit labor market. Included in these quotas were the thousands of temporary workers who regularly entered the Territory to participate in manual harvesting textiles. These massive revenues caused the overflow of local government, which could not effectively meet the needs of a growing population. Some consequences of this phenomenon, particularly those related to social control, must be analyzed in this article using the references of the governors, and skilled players of the era.
