Racial hatred grows

Poplar- strike
The United Farm Workers Union today accused Butte Gas and
Oil Company and its agents, specifically Bill Tabor, Labor Contractor of Poplar, of creating a
Ku Klux Klan atmosphere in the
Poplar area by inflaming racial
hatreds. This climax of violence
is being provoked and perpetuated
by Butte Oil to assist in Proposition 22 but has reached such a
dangerous level that Union leaders are concerned it may lead to
bloodshed.
The assault on Helen Rojas,
who had seven stitches and suffered a brain concussion, and
other farm workers in the Poplar
office on Sunday, Oct. 8, may be
just the beginning of their plans
bearing fruit.
On Saturday evening the same
persons involved in the seige of
the UFWU office also beat up and
hospitalized an Arabian farmworker because he was wearing
a "No on 22" farm worker button.
The Tulare County Sheriff's
Office is cooperating and actually
assisting in these provocations.
Sheriff's deputies instructed
UFWU members that they should
"arm and defend themselves the
best way they could against the
mob that has been attacking the
office" while at the same time refusing to arrest the men, even
though one of these assaults took
place while they were there and
they were observing men with
rocks, bottles, rifles, guns, and
clubs approaching and attacking
the workers in the offices.
Throughout the two-day seige
on the Poplar office only one arrest was made, and that was a
citizen's arrest of one of the
sons of Bill Tabor.
Yet the Tulare County Sheriff
to date has arrested hundreds
of farm workers who were peacefully demonstrating against the
illegal aliens and the picking machines. They were also available
to "protect" the farmers on Saturday, when the farmers were
breaking the strike and having a
barbecue for lunch.
It is quite obvious that this is
a well thought out plan by Butte
Oil. Bill Tabor, the contractor
involved, is the Chairman for
Proposition 22 in Tulare County
Area, Harry Kubo is the Chairman for Proposition 22 in Fres- .
no, and the_ law firm that is
representing Butte Oil was in
the forefront in the recent suit
aKainst UFWU filed in Fresno
District Court to restrain the
Boycott as a UFWU tactic.

Community Action Center
builds its power structure
The Inner City Community
Action Center, an anti-poverty
agency in Southeast Fresno, is
building a people power structure
that will fight to change the school
system, the welfare system, an~
all other systems that perpetuate
the poverty cycle.
The process of building this
structure is slow and tedious, but
Inner City Director Jose Serda,
a former UFWOC organizer, is
optimistic.
•People have tried to organize
the ghettoes in Chicago and other
cities , but they found that by the
time they organized three or four
city blocks the· first block they
01;ganized had fallen apart," observed Mr. Serda. "In the Inner
City area we're concentrating on
keeping the old block groups alive
and active," affirmed Mr. Serda."Besides, many of the 2,700 families we're organizing are campesinos, and a lot of them know
what organizing is all about,"
said Mr. Serda with a gleam in
his eye.
"Since April (v.hen Mr, Serda
came to Inner City) we've organized 19 block groups, and
some of them have already moved
on the school system to improve
bilingual-bi cultural education
programs and the free lunch
programs,• Mr. Serda proudly
stated.
"Now that we have these block
groups organized, we want to
strengthen them. We're teaching
them }loe to identify needs, documer.1 their findings, and how to
use the information to force
change.
de
"Hopefully so m e day these
groups will fight their own battles without our help. That's if
we teach them well enough," he
continued. "Eventually we hope to
form a network of 35 to 40 block
groups in Southeast Fresno with
10 to 20 members in each one.
They'll be like little ranch committees, each one with their particularly interests, but all of them
working together por la causa,"
said Mr. Serda enthusiastically.
"We're not interested in just
going around fanning fires. We
could show up every time an
issue blows up and be sure we're
on the scene at the time of all
the action and dramatize the
whole thing.
"But that doesn't solve the
problems of the poor in the long
run. We're more interested in
building a structure in this barrio
(Southeast Fresno) that will make
the poor people united enough and
strong enough to fight for change
for years to come. The people in
th~ block groups we're organizing
now will make "issues this year,
next year, and ten years from
now. They're not content with
just getting emotionally involved
once or twice ori sensational issues. They want basic change, and
we're here to teach them how to
get it," Mr. Serda stated.
•we don't expect instant results. The farm lavor movement
has taken eight years to get where
it is. It'll probably take us as
long to make that kind of progress.- But with time, lots of hard
work and luck, we'll do it.
Venceremos!" concluded Mr.
Serda.

Vol. 78 No. 19
Controversial Prop. 22
would destroy UFW Union
Whether fraud and forgery were
involved in qualifying Proposition
22, the so-c~lled ,A~ricultural
Labor Relations Initiative, for the
ballot will not be the immediate
question confronting voters in
ballot booths throughout the state
on election day, Tuesday, November 7, 1972.
While these issues are important, what CalUornia voters really need to know is:
tices established by the National
Labor Relations Act which covers
most workers, Section 1151:4 of
Proposition 22 provides that the
list of eligible voters furnished
by the employer to the board
would not be disclosed to U1e
union but would be held in "confidence by the board until the
time of the election.•
Section 1150.4 (b) would strip
most farm workers of the right
to vote by providing that any
election must be held at a time
when "the number of temporary
agricultural employees entitled
to vote does not exceed the number of permanent agricultural
employees."
What would proposition 22 do?
Who would it benefit?
Is .it fair?
To begin with, Section 1140.2
says that the state has a vital
interest in the "uninterrupted
production, packing, .,,,processing,

fields and lowerfoodprices.Such
Directly contrary to the prac- ·claims are false!
The truth is that hired farm
labor costs generally represent
less than four or five per cent of
the total cost of bringiag California's labor-intensive, crops
to the consumer. This means that
the shamefully low wages paid
most Qf tnese workers could be
doubled without justifying any
significant increase in food costs.
Moreover, if farm workers'
wages were doubled, California
taxpayers would no longer be
forced to shoulder the $40 million or more welfare burden that
results each year when thousands
of these seasonal workers are
forced to seek public assistance,
roughly from N o v e m be r to ,
March. At present this amouats
to a hidden subsidy to the state's
private farm interests paid by
California taxpayers.
By frustrating non-violent
leadership, Proposition 22 would
lead to disruption and chaos in
the fields that would be far more
likely to give unscrupulous wholesalers and retailers an excuse to
sharply hike food prices based
on the psychology of the moment.
T,he answer to whowouldbenefit from Proposition 22 is pretty
evident from who paid the bill to
put Proposi tlon 22 on the ballot
in the first place. According to
California's Secretary of State,
major contributors to the quarter
of a million dollar fund to qualify
the initiative included:
The California Agricultural
Conference $156,000; the California .F arm Bureau Federation
$10,000; the Diamond Walnut
Growers, Inc. $10,000; tl1<! Allied
Grape Growers (Fresno) $10,000;
the California Canners and Growers $5,000 ; the Allied Grape
Growers (Madera) $5,000; the
Tri-Valley Growers $5,000; and
among others, the Sonoma-Marin
Dairymen Association $5,000.
The naked truth is that Proposition 22 itself is a fraud. It is
an attempt by a profit-greedy
$5 billion industry to get the
voters of California to put their
stamp of approval on a scheme
to- permit growers to keep their
workers in bondage. It must be
defeated.
PLEASE VOTE NO ON 22.

Harry Kubo, in writing his letter to the Collegian. gives an incredible impression of being a
conservative, middle class. redneck Archie Bunker. Harrv Kubo
is using the same di~torted
method of propaganda and outright lies that the real Archie
Bunkers used to put people like
Kubo in concentration camps
simply because their last names
were Kubo , etc.
It has been pointed out several
times to small farmers that their
real enemy is not the union but
the great agribusiness combines
and land speculators. These powerful groups have been the cause
of many small farmers going
bankrupt at an alarming rate. In
their great fear, these small
farmers are using people like
Kubo to attack the ones who they
feel safe and good in attacking
because they seem to be weaker
and besides they are only minorities.
Being a recent ex-farmworker
and a strong believer in inalienable rights, I say to Kubo that .
farm workers have a right to
picket and demonstrate just as
other groups have demonstrated
and picketed until all other groups
of workers in this country · are
unionized.
As fot the LAW AND ORDER
that agribusiness and frightened
small farmers want for the farm
worker, it is the same kind of
law and order that allows for
concentration ca m p s in OUR
country.
NO ON PROPOSITION 22, Kubo!

Los Danzantes of Aztlan show beauty of Mexican dances
Chicanos are experiencing a
cultural renaissance; they are-no
longer afhid to express their
artistic abilities, according to
Ernesto Martinez, director · of
Los Danzantes de Aztlan.
Los Danzantes . de Aztlan, a
group that performs traditional
Mexican dances, was formed in
the spring of 1971, and consists.
of students of the Mexican Folklore class offered by La Raza
Studies Department.
There are several reasons why
the course, and subsequently, the
group, was started.' One was to
instill self-awareness in the Chicano of Mexican music and dance,
and pride in his culture by expression through these mediums.
Another reason is that it provides an opportunity for artistic
expression for the Chicano, and
teaches the students that there is
a variety of Mexican music.
"The class is not limited to
dancing," says Martinez. •1 try
to teach the class how the dances
originated, and from what parts
of Mexico they come. In short,
I teach Mexican geography, history and legend through the
dance."
One of the goals of the group is
to share its knowledge of dance
with the community, especiall~
children. Indivigual members of
the grought have taught dancing to
students of all ages in Sanger,
Hanford, Salinas, Lindsay and
various Fresno schools.
Martinez, a CSUF graduate,
studied dance in Guadalajara,
Mexico, and started the dance
group at Selma Union High
School (Los Paisanos), and assisted the Roosevelt High School
Marimba Band dancers, ·
Los Danzantes de Aztlan are
not limited to just cultural activities. Recently they performed

Racial hatred grows

Poplar- strike
The United Farm Workers Union today accused Butte Gas and
Oil Company and its agents, specifically Bill Tabor, Labor Contractor of Poplar, of creating a
Ku Klux Klan atmosphere in the
Poplar area by inflaming racial
hatreds. This climax of violence
is being provoked and perpetuated
by Butte Oil to assist in Proposition 22 but has reached such a
dangerous level that Union leaders are concerned it may lead to
bloodshed.
The assault on Helen Rojas,
who had seven stitches and suffered a brain concussion, and
other farm workers in the Poplar
office on Sunday, Oct. 8, may be
just the beginning of their plans
bearing fruit.
On Saturday evening the same
persons involved in the seige of
the UFWU office also beat up and
hospitalized an Arabian farmworker because he was wearing
a "No on 22" farm worker button.
The Tulare County Sheriff's
Office is cooperating and actually
assisting in these provocations.
Sheriff's deputies instructed
UFWU members that they should
"arm and defend themselves the
best way they could against the
mob that has been attacking the
office" while at the same time refusing to arrest the men, even
though one of these assaults took
place while they were there and
they were observing men with
rocks, bottles, rifles, guns, and
clubs approaching and attacking
the workers in the offices.
Throughout the two-day seige
on the Poplar office only one arrest was made, and that was a
citizen's arrest of one of the
sons of Bill Tabor.
Yet the Tulare County Sheriff
to date has arrested hundreds
of farm workers who were peacefully demonstrating against the
illegal aliens and the picking machines. They were also available
to "protect" the farmers on Saturday, when the farmers were
breaking the strike and having a
barbecue for lunch.
It is quite obvious that this is
a well thought out plan by Butte
Oil. Bill Tabor, the contractor
involved, is the Chairman for
Proposition 22 in Tulare County
Area, Harry Kubo is the Chairman for Proposition 22 in Fres- .
no, and the_ law firm that is
representing Butte Oil was in
the forefront in the recent suit
aKainst UFWU filed in Fresno
District Court to restrain the
Boycott as a UFWU tactic.

Community Action Center
builds its power structure
The Inner City Community
Action Center, an anti-poverty
agency in Southeast Fresno, is
building a people power structure
that will fight to change the school
system, the welfare system, an~
all other systems that perpetuate
the poverty cycle.
The process of building this
structure is slow and tedious, but
Inner City Director Jose Serda,
a former UFWOC organizer, is
optimistic.
•People have tried to organize
the ghettoes in Chicago and other
cities , but they found that by the
time they organized three or four
city blocks the· first block they
01;ganized had fallen apart," observed Mr. Serda. "In the Inner
City area we're concentrating on
keeping the old block groups alive
and active," affirmed Mr. Serda."Besides, many of the 2,700 families we're organizing are campesinos, and a lot of them know
what organizing is all about,"
said Mr. Serda with a gleam in
his eye.
"Since April (v.hen Mr, Serda
came to Inner City) we've organized 19 block groups, and
some of them have already moved
on the school system to improve
bilingual-bi cultural education
programs and the free lunch
programs,• Mr. Serda proudly
stated.
"Now that we have these block
groups organized, we want to
strengthen them. We're teaching
them }loe to identify needs, documer.1 their findings, and how to
use the information to force
change.
de
"Hopefully so m e day these
groups will fight their own battles without our help. That's if
we teach them well enough," he
continued. "Eventually we hope to
form a network of 35 to 40 block
groups in Southeast Fresno with
10 to 20 members in each one.
They'll be like little ranch committees, each one with their particularly interests, but all of them
working together por la causa,"
said Mr. Serda enthusiastically.
"We're not interested in just
going around fanning fires. We
could show up every time an
issue blows up and be sure we're
on the scene at the time of all
the action and dramatize the
whole thing.
"But that doesn't solve the
problems of the poor in the long
run. We're more interested in
building a structure in this barrio
(Southeast Fresno) that will make
the poor people united enough and
strong enough to fight for change
for years to come. The people in
th~ block groups we're organizing
now will make "issues this year,
next year, and ten years from
now. They're not content with
just getting emotionally involved
once or twice ori sensational issues. They want basic change, and
we're here to teach them how to
get it," Mr. Serda stated.
•we don't expect instant results. The farm lavor movement
has taken eight years to get where
it is. It'll probably take us as
long to make that kind of progress.- But with time, lots of hard
work and luck, we'll do it.
Venceremos!" concluded Mr.
Serda.

Vol. 78 No. 19
Controversial Prop. 22
would destroy UFW Union
Whether fraud and forgery were
involved in qualifying Proposition
22, the so-c~lled ,A~ricultural
Labor Relations Initiative, for the
ballot will not be the immediate
question confronting voters in
ballot booths throughout the state
on election day, Tuesday, November 7, 1972.
While these issues are important, what CalUornia voters really need to know is:
tices established by the National
Labor Relations Act which covers
most workers, Section 1151:4 of
Proposition 22 provides that the
list of eligible voters furnished
by the employer to the board
would not be disclosed to U1e
union but would be held in "confidence by the board until the
time of the election.•
Section 1150.4 (b) would strip
most farm workers of the right
to vote by providing that any
election must be held at a time
when "the number of temporary
agricultural employees entitled
to vote does not exceed the number of permanent agricultural
employees."
What would proposition 22 do?
Who would it benefit?
Is .it fair?
To begin with, Section 1140.2
says that the state has a vital
interest in the "uninterrupted
production, packing, .,,,processing,

fields and lowerfoodprices.Such
Directly contrary to the prac- ·claims are false!
The truth is that hired farm
labor costs generally represent
less than four or five per cent of
the total cost of bringiag California's labor-intensive, crops
to the consumer. This means that
the shamefully low wages paid
most Qf tnese workers could be
doubled without justifying any
significant increase in food costs.
Moreover, if farm workers'
wages were doubled, California
taxpayers would no longer be
forced to shoulder the $40 million or more welfare burden that
results each year when thousands
of these seasonal workers are
forced to seek public assistance,
roughly from N o v e m be r to ,
March. At present this amouats
to a hidden subsidy to the state's
private farm interests paid by
California taxpayers.
By frustrating non-violent
leadership, Proposition 22 would
lead to disruption and chaos in
the fields that would be far more
likely to give unscrupulous wholesalers and retailers an excuse to
sharply hike food prices based
on the psychology of the moment.
T,he answer to whowouldbenefit from Proposition 22 is pretty
evident from who paid the bill to
put Proposi tlon 22 on the ballot
in the first place. According to
California's Secretary of State,
major contributors to the quarter
of a million dollar fund to qualify
the initiative included:
The California Agricultural
Conference $156,000; the California .F arm Bureau Federation
$10,000; the Diamond Walnut
Growers, Inc. $10,000; tl1<! Allied
Grape Growers (Fresno) $10,000;
the California Canners and Growers $5,000 ; the Allied Grape
Growers (Madera) $5,000; the
Tri-Valley Growers $5,000; and
among others, the Sonoma-Marin
Dairymen Association $5,000.
The naked truth is that Proposition 22 itself is a fraud. It is
an attempt by a profit-greedy
$5 billion industry to get the
voters of California to put their
stamp of approval on a scheme
to- permit growers to keep their
workers in bondage. It must be
defeated.
PLEASE VOTE NO ON 22.

Harry Kubo, in writing his letter to the Collegian. gives an incredible impression of being a
conservative, middle class. redneck Archie Bunker. Harrv Kubo
is using the same di~torted
method of propaganda and outright lies that the real Archie
Bunkers used to put people like
Kubo in concentration camps
simply because their last names
were Kubo , etc.
It has been pointed out several
times to small farmers that their
real enemy is not the union but
the great agribusiness combines
and land speculators. These powerful groups have been the cause
of many small farmers going
bankrupt at an alarming rate. In
their great fear, these small
farmers are using people like
Kubo to attack the ones who they
feel safe and good in attacking
because they seem to be weaker
and besides they are only minorities.
Being a recent ex-farmworker
and a strong believer in inalienable rights, I say to Kubo that .
farm workers have a right to
picket and demonstrate just as
other groups have demonstrated
and picketed until all other groups
of workers in this country · are
unionized.
As fot the LAW AND ORDER
that agribusiness and frightened
small farmers want for the farm
worker, it is the same kind of
law and order that allows for
concentration ca m p s in OUR
country.

Los Danzantes of Aztlan show beauty of Mexican dances
Chicanos are experiencing a
cultural renaissance; they are-no
longer afhid to express their
artistic abilities, according to
Ernesto Martinez, director · of
Los Danzantes de Aztlan.
Los Danzantes . de Aztlan, a
group that performs traditional
Mexican dances, was formed in
the spring of 1971, and consists.
of students of the Mexican Folklore class offered by La Raza
Studies Department.
There are several reasons why
the course, and subsequently, the
group, was started.' One was to
instill self-awareness in the Chicano of Mexican music and dance,
and pride in his culture by expression through these mediums.
Another reason is that it provides an opportunity for artistic
expression for the Chicano, and
teaches the students that there is
a variety of Mexican music.
"The class is not limited to
dancing," says Martinez. •1 try
to teach the class how the dances
originated, and from what parts
of Mexico they come. In short,
I teach Mexican geography, history and legend through the
dance."
One of the goals of the group is
to share its knowledge of dance
with the community, especiall~
children. Indivigual members of
the grought have taught dancing to
students of all ages in Sanger,
Hanford, Salinas, Lindsay and
various Fresno schools.
Martinez, a CSUF graduate,
studied dance in Guadalajara,
Mexico, and started the dance
group at Selma Union High
School (Los Paisanos), and assisted the Roosevelt High School
Marimba Band dancers, ·
Los Danzantes de Aztlan are
not limited to just cultural activities. Recently they performed
for a United Farm Workers Union

Racial hatred grows

Poplar- strike
The United Farm Workers Union today accused Butte Gas and
Oil Company and its agents, specifically Bill Tabor, Labor Contractor of Poplar, of creating a
Ku Klux Klan atmosphere in the
Poplar area by inflaming racial
hatreds. This climax of violence
is being provoked and perpetuated
by Butte Oil to assist in Proposition 22 but has reached such a
dangerous level that Union leaders are concerned it may lead to
bloodshed.
The assault on Helen Rojas,
who had seven stitches and suffered a brain concussion, and
other farm workers in the Poplar
office on Sunday, Oct. 8, may be
just the beginning of their plans
bearing fruit.
On Saturday evening the same
persons involved in the seige of
the UFWU office also beat up and
hospitalized an Arabian farmworker because he was wearing
a "No on 22" farm worker button.
The Tulare County Sheriff's
Office is cooperating and actually
assisting in these provocations.
Sheriff's deputies instructed
UFWU members that they should
"arm and defend themselves the
best way they could against the
mob that has been attacking the
office" while at the same time refusing to arrest the men, even
though one of these assaults took
place while they were there and
they were observing men with
rocks, bottles, rifles, guns, and
clubs approaching and attacking
the workers in the offices.
Throughout the two-day seige
on the Poplar office only one arrest was made, and that was a
citizen's arrest of one of the
sons of Bill Tabor.
Yet the Tulare County Sheriff
to date has arrested hundreds
of farm workers who were peacefully demonstrating against the
illegal aliens and the picking machines. They were also available
to "protect" the farmers on Saturday, when the farmers were
breaking the strike and having a
barbecue for lunch.
It is quite obvious that this is
a well thought out plan by Butte
Oil. Bill Tabor, the contractor
involved, is the Chairman for
Proposition 22 in Tulare County
Area, Harry Kubo is the Chairman for Proposition 22 in Fres- .
no, and the_ law firm that is
representing Butte Oil was in
the forefront in the recent suit
aKainst UFWU filed in Fresno
District Court to restrain the
Boycott as a UFWU tactic.

Community Action Center
builds its power structure
The Inner City Community
Action Center, an anti-poverty
agency in Southeast Fresno, is
building a people power structure
that will fight to change the school
system, the welfare system, an~
all other systems that perpetuate
the poverty cycle.
The process of building this
structure is slow and tedious, but
Inner City Director Jose Serda,
a former UFWOC organizer, is
optimistic.
•People have tried to organize
the ghettoes in Chicago and other
cities , but they found that by the
time they organized three or four
city blocks the· first block they
01;ganized had fallen apart," observed Mr. Serda. "In the Inner
City area we're concentrating on
keeping the old block groups alive
and active," affirmed Mr. Serda."Besides, many of the 2,700 families we're organizing are campesinos, and a lot of them know
what organizing is all about,"
said Mr. Serda with a gleam in
his eye.
"Since April (v.hen Mr, Serda
came to Inner City) we've organized 19 block groups, and
some of them have already moved
on the school system to improve
bilingual-bi cultural education
programs and the free lunch
programs,• Mr. Serda proudly
stated.
"Now that we have these block
groups organized, we want to
strengthen them. We're teaching
them }loe to identify needs, documer.1 their findings, and how to
use the information to force
change.
de
"Hopefully so m e day these
groups will fight their own battles without our help. That's if
we teach them well enough," he
continued. "Eventually we hope to
form a network of 35 to 40 block
groups in Southeast Fresno with
10 to 20 members in each one.
They'll be like little ranch committees, each one with their particularly interests, but all of them
working together por la causa,"
said Mr. Serda enthusiastically.
"We're not interested in just
going around fanning fires. We
could show up every time an
issue blows up and be sure we're
on the scene at the time of all
the action and dramatize the
whole thing.
"But that doesn't solve the
problems of the poor in the long
run. We're more interested in
building a structure in this barrio
(Southeast Fresno) that will make
the poor people united enough and
strong enough to fight for change
for years to come. The people in
th~ block groups we're organizing
now will make "issues this year,
next year, and ten years from
now. They're not content with
just getting emotionally involved
once or twice ori sensational issues. They want basic change, and
we're here to teach them how to
get it," Mr. Serda stated.
•we don't expect instant results. The farm lavor movement
has taken eight years to get where
it is. It'll probably take us as
long to make that kind of progress.- But with time, lots of hard
work and luck, we'll do it.
Venceremos!" concluded Mr.
Serda.

Vol. 78 No. 19
Controversial Prop. 22
would destroy UFW Union
Whether fraud and forgery were
involved in qualifying Proposition
22, the so-c~lled ,A~ricultural
Labor Relations Initiative, for the
ballot will not be the immediate
question confronting voters in
ballot booths throughout the state
on election day, Tuesday, November 7, 1972.
While these issues are important, what CalUornia voters really need to know is:
tices established by the National
Labor Relations Act which covers
most workers, Section 1151:4 of
Proposition 22 provides that the
list of eligible voters furnished
by the employer to the board
would not be disclosed to U1e
union but would be held in "confidence by the board until the
time of the election.•
Section 1150.4 (b) would strip
most farm workers of the right
to vote by providing that any
election must be held at a time
when "the number of temporary
agricultural employees entitled
to vote does not exceed the number of permanent agricultural
employees."
What would proposition 22 do?
Who would it benefit?
Is .it fair?
To begin with, Section 1140.2
says that the state has a vital
interest in the "uninterrupted
production, packing, .,,,processing,

fields and lowerfoodprices.Such
Directly contrary to the prac- ·claims are false!
The truth is that hired farm
labor costs generally represent
less than four or five per cent of
the total cost of bringiag California's labor-intensive, crops
to the consumer. This means that
the shamefully low wages paid
most Qf tnese workers could be
doubled without justifying any
significant increase in food costs.
Moreover, if farm workers'
wages were doubled, California
taxpayers would no longer be
forced to shoulder the $40 million or more welfare burden that
results each year when thousands
of these seasonal workers are
forced to seek public assistance,
roughly from N o v e m be r to ,
March. At present this amouats
to a hidden subsidy to the state's
private farm interests paid by
California taxpayers.
By frustrating non-violent
leadership, Proposition 22 would
lead to disruption and chaos in
the fields that would be far more
likely to give unscrupulous wholesalers and retailers an excuse to
sharply hike food prices based
on the psychology of the moment.
T,he answer to whowouldbenefit from Proposition 22 is pretty
evident from who paid the bill to
put Proposi tlon 22 on the ballot
in the first place. According to
California's Secretary of State,
major contributors to the quarter
of a million dollar fund to qualify
the initiative included:
The California Agricultural
Conference $156,000; the California .F arm Bureau Federation
$10,000; the Diamond Walnut
Growers, Inc. $10,000; tl1<! Allied
Grape Growers (Fresno) $10,000;
the California Canners and Growers $5,000 ; the Allied Grape
Growers (Madera) $5,000; the
Tri-Valley Growers $5,000; and
among others, the Sonoma-Marin
Dairymen Association $5,000.
The naked truth is that Proposition 22 itself is a fraud. It is
an attempt by a profit-greedy
$5 billion industry to get the
voters of California to put their
stamp of approval on a scheme
to- permit growers to keep their
workers in bondage. It must be
defeated.
PLEASE VOTE NO ON 22.

Harry Kubo, in writing his letter to the Collegian. gives an incredible impression of being a
conservative, middle class. redneck Archie Bunker. Harrv Kubo
is using the same di~torted
method of propaganda and outright lies that the real Archie
Bunkers used to put people like
Kubo in concentration camps
simply because their last names
were Kubo , etc.
It has been pointed out several
times to small farmers that their
real enemy is not the union but
the great agribusiness combines
and land speculators. These powerful groups have been the cause
of many small farmers going
bankrupt at an alarming rate. In
their great fear, these small
farmers are using people like
Kubo to attack the ones who they
feel safe and good in attacking
because they seem to be weaker
and besides they are only minorities.
Being a recent ex-farmworker
and a strong believer in inalienable rights, I say to Kubo that .
farm workers have a right to
picket and demonstrate just as
other groups have demonstrated
and picketed until all other groups
of workers in this country · are
unionized.
As fot the LAW AND ORDER
that agribusiness and frightened
small farmers want for the farm
worker, it is the same kind of
law and order that allows for
concentration ca m p s in OUR
country.

Los Danzantes of Aztlan show beauty of Mexican dances
Chicanos are experiencing a
cultural renaissance; they are-no
longer afhid to express their
artistic abilities, according to
Ernesto Martinez, director · of
Los Danzantes de Aztlan.
Los Danzantes . de Aztlan, a
group that performs traditional
Mexican dances, was formed in
the spring of 1971, and consists.
of students of the Mexican Folklore class offered by La Raza
Studies Department.
There are several reasons why
the course, and subsequently, the
group, was started.' One was to
instill self-awareness in the Chicano of Mexican music and dance,
and pride in his culture by expression through these mediums.
Another reason is that it provides an opportunity for artistic
expression for the Chicano, and
teaches the students that there is
a variety of Mexican music.
"The class is not limited to
dancing," says Martinez. •1 try
to teach the class how the dances
originated, and from what parts
of Mexico they come. In short,
I teach Mexican geography, history and legend through the
dance."
One of the goals of the group is
to share its knowledge of dance
with the community, especiall~
children. Indivigual members of
the grought have taught dancing to
students of all ages in Sanger,
Hanford, Salinas, Lindsay and
various Fresno schools.
Martinez, a CSUF graduate,
studied dance in Guadalajara,
Mexico, and started the dance
group at Selma Union High
School (Los Paisanos), and assisted the Roosevelt High School
Marimba Band dancers, ·
Los Danzantes de Aztlan are
not limited to just cultural activities. Recently they performed

Racial hatred grows

Poplar- strike
The United Farm Workers Union today accused Butte Gas and
Oil Company and its agents, specifically Bill Tabor, Labor Contractor of Poplar, of creating a
Ku Klux Klan atmosphere in the
Poplar area by inflaming racial
hatreds. This climax of violence
is being provoked and perpetuated
by Butte Oil to assist in Proposition 22 but has reached such a
dangerous level that Union leaders are concerned it may lead to
bloodshed.
The assault on Helen Rojas,
who had seven stitches and suffered a brain concussion, and
other farm workers in the Poplar
office on Sunday, Oct. 8, may be
just the beginning of their plans
bearing fruit.
On Saturday evening the same
persons involved in the seige of
the UFWU office also beat up and
hospitalized an Arabian farmworker because he was wearing
a "No on 22" farm worker button.
The Tulare County Sheriff's
Office is cooperating and actually
assisting in these provocations.
Sheriff's deputies instructed
UFWU members that they should
"arm and defend themselves the
best way they could against the
mob that has been attacking the
office" while at the same time refusing to arrest the men, even
though one of these assaults took
place while they were there and
they were observing men with
rocks, bottles, rifles, guns, and
clubs approaching and attacking
the workers in the offices.
Throughout the two-day seige
on the Poplar office only one arrest was made, and that was a
citizen's arrest of one of the
sons of Bill Tabor.
Yet the Tulare County Sheriff
to date has arrested hundreds
of farm workers who were peacefully demonstrating against the
illegal aliens and the picking machines. They were also available
to "protect" the farmers on Saturday, when the farmers were
breaking the strike and having a
barbecue for lunch.
It is quite obvious that this is
a well thought out plan by Butte
Oil. Bill Tabor, the contractor
involved, is the Chairman for
Proposition 22 in Tulare County
Area, Harry Kubo is the Chairman for Proposition 22 in Fres- .
no, and the_ law firm that is
representing Butte Oil was in
the forefront in the recent suit
aKainst UFWU filed in Fresno
District Court to restrain the
Boycott as a UFWU tactic.

Community Action Center
builds its power structure
The Inner City Community
Action Center, an anti-poverty
agency in Southeast Fresno, is
building a people power structure
that will fight to change the school
system, the welfare system, an~
all other systems that perpetuate
the poverty cycle.
The process of building this
structure is slow and tedious, but
Inner City Director Jose Serda,
a former UFWOC organizer, is
optimistic.
•People have tried to organize
the ghettoes in Chicago and other
cities , but they found that by the
time they organized three or four
city blocks the· first block they
01;ganized had fallen apart," observed Mr. Serda. "In the Inner
City area we're concentrating on
keeping the old block groups alive
and active," affirmed Mr. Serda."Besides, many of the 2,700 families we're organizing are campesinos, and a lot of them know
what organizing is all about,"
said Mr. Serda with a gleam in
his eye.
"Since April (v.hen Mr, Serda
came to Inner City) we've organized 19 block groups, and
some of them have already moved
on the school system to improve
bilingual-bi cultural education
programs and the free lunch
programs,• Mr. Serda proudly
stated.
"Now that we have these block
groups organized, we want to
strengthen them. We're teaching
them }loe to identify needs, documer.1 their findings, and how to
use the information to force
change.
de
"Hopefully so m e day these
groups will fight their own battles without our help. That's if
we teach them well enough," he
continued. "Eventually we hope to
form a network of 35 to 40 block
groups in Southeast Fresno with
10 to 20 members in each one.
They'll be like little ranch committees, each one with their particularly interests, but all of them
working together por la causa,"
said Mr. Serda enthusiastically.
"We're not interested in just
going around fanning fires. We
could show up every time an
issue blows up and be sure we're
on the scene at the time of all
the action and dramatize the
whole thing.
"But that doesn't solve the
problems of the poor in the long
run. We're more interested in
building a structure in this barrio
(Southeast Fresno) that will make
the poor people united enough and
strong enough to fight for change
for years to come. The people in
th~ block groups we're organizing
now will make "issues this year,
next year, and ten years from
now. They're not content with
just getting emotionally involved
once or twice ori sensational issues. They want basic change, and
we're here to teach them how to
get it," Mr. Serda stated.
•we don't expect instant results. The farm lavor movement
has taken eight years to get where
it is. It'll probably take us as
long to make that kind of progress.- But with time, lots of hard
work and luck, we'll do it.
Venceremos!" concluded Mr.
Serda.

Vol. 78 No. 19
Controversial Prop. 22
would destroy UFW Union
Whether fraud and forgery were
involved in qualifying Proposition
22, the so-c~lled ,A~ricultural
Labor Relations Initiative, for the
ballot will not be the immediate
question confronting voters in
ballot booths throughout the state
on election day, Tuesday, November 7, 1972.
While these issues are important, what CalUornia voters really need to know is:
tices established by the National
Labor Relations Act which covers
most workers, Section 1151:4 of
Proposition 22 provides that the
list of eligible voters furnished
by the employer to the board
would not be disclosed to U1e
union but would be held in "confidence by the board until the
time of the election.•
Section 1150.4 (b) would strip
most farm workers of the right
to vote by providing that any
election must be held at a time
when "the number of temporary
agricultural employees entitled
to vote does not exceed the number of permanent agricultural
employees."
What would proposition 22 do?
Who would it benefit?
Is .it fair?
To begin with, Section 1140.2
says that the state has a vital
interest in the "uninterrupted
production, packing, .,,,processing,

fields and lowerfoodprices.Such
Directly contrary to the prac- ·claims are false!
The truth is that hired farm
labor costs generally represent
less than four or five per cent of
the total cost of bringiag California's labor-intensive, crops
to the consumer. This means that
the shamefully low wages paid
most Qf tnese workers could be
doubled without justifying any
significant increase in food costs.
Moreover, if farm workers'
wages were doubled, California
taxpayers would no longer be
forced to shoulder the $40 million or more welfare burden that
results each year when thousands
of these seasonal workers are
forced to seek public assistance,
roughly from N o v e m be r to ,
March. At present this amouats
to a hidden subsidy to the state's
private farm interests paid by
California taxpayers.
By frustrating non-violent
leadership, Proposition 22 would
lead to disruption and chaos in
the fields that would be far more
likely to give unscrupulous wholesalers and retailers an excuse to
sharply hike food prices based
on the psychology of the moment.
T,he answer to whowouldbenefit from Proposition 22 is pretty
evident from who paid the bill to
put Proposi tlon 22 on the ballot
in the first place. According to
California's Secretary of State,
major contributors to the quarter
of a million dollar fund to qualify
the initiative included:
The California Agricultural
Conference $156,000; the California .F arm Bureau Federation
$10,000; the Diamond Walnut
Growers, Inc. $10,000; tl1<! Allied
Grape Growers (Fresno) $10,000;
the California Canners and Growers $5,000 ; the Allied Grape
Growers (Madera) $5,000; the
Tri-Valley Growers $5,000; and
among others, the Sonoma-Marin
Dairymen Association $5,000.
The naked truth is that Proposition 22 itself is a fraud. It is
an attempt by a profit-greedy
$5 billion industry to get the
voters of California to put their
stamp of approval on a scheme
to- permit growers to keep their
workers in bondage. It must be
defeated.
PLEASE VOTE NO ON 22.

Harry Kubo, in writing his letter to the Collegian. gives an incredible impression of being a
conservative, middle class. redneck Archie Bunker. Harrv Kubo
is using the same di~torted
method of propaganda and outright lies that the real Archie
Bunkers used to put people like
Kubo in concentration camps
simply because their last names
were Kubo , etc.
It has been pointed out several
times to small farmers that their
real enemy is not the union but
the great agribusiness combines
and land speculators. These powerful groups have been the cause
of many small farmers going
bankrupt at an alarming rate. In
their great fear, these small
farmers are using people like
Kubo to attack the ones who they
feel safe and good in attacking
because they seem to be weaker
and besides they are only minorities.
Being a recent ex-farmworker
and a strong believer in inalienable rights, I say to Kubo that .
farm workers have a right to
picket and demonstrate just as
other groups have demonstrated
and picketed until all other groups
of workers in this country · are
unionized.
As fot the LAW AND ORDER
that agribusiness and frightened
small farmers want for the farm
worker, it is the same kind of
law and order that allows for
concentration ca m p s in OUR
country.

Los Danzantes of Aztlan show beauty of Mexican dances
Chicanos are experiencing a
cultural renaissance; they are-no
longer afhid to express their
artistic abilities, according to
Ernesto Martinez, director · of
Los Danzantes de Aztlan.
Los Danzantes . de Aztlan, a
group that performs traditional
Mexican dances, was formed in
the spring of 1971, and consists.
of students of the Mexican Folklore class offered by La Raza
Studies Department.
There are several reasons why
the course, and subsequently, the
group, was started.' One was to
instill self-awareness in the Chicano of Mexican music and dance,
and pride in his culture by expression through these mediums.
Another reason is that it provides an opportunity for artistic
expression for the Chicano, and
teaches the students that there is
a variety of Mexican music.
"The class is not limited to
dancing," says Martinez. •1 try
to teach the class how the dances
originated, and from what parts
of Mexico they come. In short,
I teach Mexican geography, history and legend through the
dance."
One of the goals of the group is
to share its knowledge of dance
with the community, especiall~
children. Indivigual members of
the grought have taught dancing to
students of all ages in Sanger,
Hanford, Salinas, Lindsay and
various Fresno schools.
Martinez, a CSUF graduate,
studied dance in Guadalajara,
Mexico, and started the dance
group at Selma Union High
School (Los Paisanos), and assisted the Roosevelt High School
Marimba Band dancers, ·
Los Danzantes de Aztlan are
not limited to just cultural activities. Recently they performed
