Farmworker strike fell by White River
The harvest at White River
Farms is now over and the company claims to have lost $1 million due to the strike by United
Farm Workers members. According to Gil Padilla of UFW,
that is a conservative estimate
of the losses.

20, 1972, the UFWU contract ex-
pired. Meanwhile, 35 of 50
Hamburg Farms workers signed
authorization cards for the UFWU
to negotiate a contract for them
also. Negotiations were then broken off on August 28, 1072. The
company demanded changes in
grievance procedures, additional
subcontracting provisions (to
eliminate Union hiring hall), and
refused to establish recognition
procedure for Hamburg Farms'
workers. It was then that Cesar
Chavez charged company management with not bargaining in
good faith and stalling in anticipation of Proposition 22. A strike
was _ called by the workers and
260 people left their jobs.
White River Farms then began
using &,cabs to preak the strike in
early September. Five UFWU
pickets were arrested on September 9. Earl Brown (brother-inlaw of scab contractor Bill Taber) struck two pickets with his
truck; one of them, Maria Arevallo, was sent to the hospital.
No arrest mad on Brown.
On September 11, a restraining order was issued limiting
pickets to three at each entrance,
and one every 50 feet surrounding
the ranch property. Over 80
sheriff's officers rigorously enforced the restraining order.
Richard Chavez says, "They try
to arrest us when one man goes
out to hand a picket a sandwich."
Eventually 240 pickets were arrested, the majority of them for
violation of the injunction and not
on charges of violence as is implied by the growers.
Four pickets were arrested
for trespassing after entering the
fields to perform a citizen's arrest on some illegal aliens in
the field. Incidentally, a total of
78 illegal aliens were arrested
by the U.S. Border Patrol, al-
though UFW members claim
there were more workers working illegally on the farm.
The violence at White River
Farms is being used to push
Proposition 22. To quote Richard
Chavez: "The growers need this
strike for ammunition to push
Proposition 22. They want propaganda to put the fear of agricultural strikes in people's hands."
On October 6, Harry Kubo,
president of the Nisei Farmers
League, announced "Worker Appreciation Day" for October 7
preciation Day" for October 7
and said 1,000 farmers came to
White River Farms to pick
grapes. The project was sponsored by the Kern County Farm
· Bureau, and Central California
Farmers Association. Farmers
worked at the standard wage and
the money was given to scabs
as a bonus at the end of the
harvest. The wage totals were
matched dollar for dollar by the
co m pan y . The 400 growers
worked from about 9-U :30, then
quit and had a barbecue for
themselves. That is how much
they appreciated thei_r workers.
White River Farms consistently blamed Chavez and the
UFW for breaking off negotiations, yet their spokesman, Richard Freeland, is quoted .in the
LA Times as saying "Money is no
object. We will spend a fortune
to get this crop harvested and
after we're through we will plan
out how to run this farm permanently without a union."
Andres Cangemi, Vice-President of White River Farms, said
•we 're not ready to negotiate a
contact with the Farm Workers
Union at this time. And there's
a good possibility we'll not negotiate at all."
Many violent acts were attributed to the farm workers during this time. No farm workers
were arrested in conjunction with
the burning of the police car,
alleged destruction of orchards
or trees, and alleged shed burnings. Perhaps the growers did
these things themselves to cas.t a
bad light on the UFW.
The UFW does not condone
violence. Its leader, Cesar Chavez, has fasted many times to
show his belief in non-violence.
The UFW admits that it is very
difficult to control a large crowd
and complete peace cannot be
guaranteed. All we can do is try.
But the general public rarely
hears of violence committed by
those who oppose the UFW. A
group of about 15 young men,
including the son of Bill Taber
(the scab contractor? attacked the
UFW office in Poplar on October
7, 1972. The UFW ba1rner was
ripped off the wall, taken outside
and burned. Rocks were thrown
at the windows and bullets pierced
the walls of the building. The next
night two Arab workers, mis taken
for Mexican farm workers were
badly beaten up by anti-UFW
vigilante groups and one was
hospitalized. On October 9, 1972, vigilante groups again attacked
the office, this time sending Elena
Rojas, a pregnant farm worker,
to the hospital with a concussion
and a deep gash on her head.
After all these events (a sheriff
witnessed two men openly carrying rifles and refused to arrest
them (three persons were ar_rested: Danny Taber, a sonofthe
scab contractor, for malicious
miscl)ief, and two others for
drunkenness.
Suits for damages have been
filed by both parties involved,
and there is no doubt in my
mind who the courts will decide
in favor of. For justice always

would go to court for these murders. They were not allowed to

to get someone for the killings so two carnales were labeled
"trouble-makers," "le ad er s,"
and "revolutionaries" and taken

visitors. Also other car n a 1 es
were transferred to other institutions - three of whom were
killed almost immediately. Were
these moves a way of splitting
up the unity among the Chicanos
within Soledad?
This is only one of the many
incidents happening every day.
Many of the strongest soldados de
La Raza have been Pintos, thus
we must support their attempts
to overcome the injustices being
perpetuated against them - j:ist
as Pintos have supported El
Movimiento.
On Saturday ~·October 21, 1972,
a group of concerned individuals
(students, instructors and community members) totaling approximately 50 or 60, took a
three hour drive up to Soledad
and staged a rally. During visiting
hours, people marched around in
a large circle at the main gate,
holding signs and shouting support for the Pintos (ignoring remarks of the guards) so as toinform others of these injustices
and to show the prison authorities
that people care and will aot sit
still for these injustices.
I would like to take the .opportunity to thank all the individuals
involved in making this day happen - all who helped plan it, all
who went on this day, and all
who volunteered their cars for
transportation to Soledad. Thaak
you all.

V 9ting for McGovern's beliefs
M.A.P.A. and La Raza Unida will not endorse any party this year.
Does this mean that they don't care if Nixon gets re-elected? Does .
this mean that they are willing to go through four more years of the
same bullshit? Don't these two organizations realize that what they
s;:i.y carries a great deal of weight around their areas?
I cannot understand. Why are they not willing to endorse McGovern?
Is it because the Democratic Party never comes to the Chicano unless
it's an election year? Well, this year the Democratic Party is not
coming to the Chicanos. If it- was the Democratic Party, why are
there Democrats for Nixon? If it was the Democratic Party, why
didn't George Meany and organized laborwantotsupport George McGovern? I do not see it as voting for the Democratic Party, I see it
as voting for George McGovern andSargentShriverand their beliefs.
I've been told all this shit about getting involved, being concerned,
,and now M.A.P.A. and La Raza Unida come out and say they don't
care if Nixon is elected again. This country needs radical change,
I mean . Radical Change! No one has ever professed such radical
change as McGovern is doing now. lfa man is willing to put his political career on the line for what he believes in he's either insane or
he's got enough "huev-0s" to stand up to the fat cats who control this
so-called democracy. Do La Raza Unida and M.A.P.A. believe the
first?

Two Chican.os
elected senator
For the first time in the his"."
tory of CSUF, two Chicano freshman senators have been swept
into office by an overwhelming
majority. They will be joining
four other Chicano members of
the Student Senate.
The two new Chicano senators
will be Daniel Casas and Victor
Echeveste.
Victor Echeveste, a gr.actuate
of Reedley High School, has had
political experience before. In
high school, he was president of
MECHA and he was also senior
class student representative .on
the student council. When asked
how he felt upon his victory, he
stated, "I'm glad I won, but I'm
not here to take sides. I'm here
to represent the freshman class.
Though, this doesn't mean that
I won't represent the Chicanos.
I, along with J_he other five Chicano members of the senate, will
represent the Chicanos the best
way we can."
Daniel Casas, · a graduate of
Roosevelt High School, here in
Fresno, has also had political experience in high school. Asked
what he felt about being elected,
he replied , "I feel great about
being elected freshman senator.
If anybody has any questions,
please feel free to come and ask
me at any time. I'm hereto represent anybody, if you have any
problem, feel free to come to
me."

NO on 22
If California's farm workers are to continue on their upward
struggle toward equality, we must join together and work to defeat
Proposition 22.
Proposition 22 was put together by the Fair Labor Practices committee, which is nothing more than a front for large agribusiness
groups in California. These agribusiness groups have contributed
close to $300,000 toward the passage of Proposition 22 and are prepared to spend upwards of one million dollars to insure the voters'
-approval.
Proponents of Proposition 22 say that it wm bring the farmworker
under a Labor Relations Act, • just like any other worker". In reply
to this I ask, "What other worker has the life expectancy of 49 years?•
To simply categorize a farm worker as "another worker" is doing
him a gross injustice. What other worker has to work eight to 10
hours a day, stooped over all day, and for wages that do not exceed
$2.40 an hour.
Another contention is that the bill would set up an impartial board
that would look over farm labor relations, a board that would be appointed by the 9overnor - in this case, Governor Reagan-Bullshit.
Are California's farm workers expected to believe that this would
really be an impartial board! Reagan has never been a person to feel
sympathy for the plight of the campesino.
All men are brothers, sons of God; that is why we say to all men of
good will, in the words of Pope ·LeoXIII, "Ev~ryone's first duty is to
protect the workers from the greed of speculators who use human
beings as instruments to provide themselves with money. It is neither
just nor human to oppress men with excessive work to the point where
their minds become enfeebled and their bodies worn out." God shall
not abandon us!

The clearest choice for a generation
So McGovern can't win, eh?
Wp.ere have you heard that before?
In the primaries last Spring,
that's where.
But you fooled the political
experts and rewrote the history
books. You provided the manpower
and womanpower for the largest,
smoothest, toughest vote-canvassing operation this .country had
ever seen.
Now it's time to do it again.
And the job this Fall is even more
important. For the choice between
Nixon and McGovern is the clearest choice voters have had for a
generation.
McGovern has opposed the
bombing of Indochina, while
Nixon has been inflicting the explosive equivalent of 7 Hiroshima
atom bombs a month on that already devastated area.
Nixon believes in putting people out of work in order to hold
down prices. His policies have put
2 million more people out of work.
McGovern believes that there
should be a job for everyone who
wants to work, with the U.S. Gov-
ernment itself as the employer of
last resort.
·
Nixon started his campaign
with $10 million in secret money.
McGovern's campaign is financed
almost entirely by contributions
of $5 to $25 from the people.
Nixon has nominated conservatives and mediocrities to the
United States Supreme Court.
One or two more Nixon appointments if he is re-elected, and you'll
live with a heavy-handed Nixon
court for the rest of .your life.
McGovern has pledged to appoint
a woman and members of racial
and ethnic minorities, and will appoint highly qualified liberals.

Fresno MAPA chapter goes
for Sen. George McGovern
The 103 voting delegates who
gathered at the Biltmore Hotel in
Los Angeles, were asked to
choose between supporting Sen.
George McGovern or President
Nixon, or adopting a no-endorsement put forward by supporters
of the separate Chicano Party,
La Raza Unida.
Results on the voting were 42
votes each for Sen. McGovern
and a no-endorsement, with Nixon
drawing 18 votes.
There were many good arguments for McGovern and no endorsement, but the Nixon camp
was hard pressed and somewhat
ridiculed by most of the MAPA
delegates.
Armando Rodriquez, candidate
for District 3 Supervisor and
MAPA State President, was the
Convention chairman.
Twenty delegates from our
Fresno Chapter were the the
biggest delegation for any one
chapter. All twenty backed McGovern.
MAPA delegates took official
stands on nine ballot propositions, including some of the more
controversial measures to be
voted on November 7.
By voice vote, the delegates
came out in favor of pay raises
for state employes (Proposition
15), the legalization of marijuana
(Proposition l!)) and the coastline initiative (Proposition 20).
The delegates voted against
supporting the Watson tax initiative (Proposition 14), pay raises
for California Highway Patrolmen (Proposition 16), the death
penalty (Proposition 17) and the

20, 1972, the UFWU contract ex-
pired. Meanwhile, 35 of 50
Hamburg Farms workers signed
authorization cards for the UFWU
to negotiate a contract for them
also. Negotiations were then broken off on August 28, 1072. The
company demanded changes in
grievance procedures, additional
subcontracting provisions (to
eliminate Union hiring hall), and
refused to establish recognition
procedure for Hamburg Farms'
workers. It was then that Cesar
Chavez charged company management with not bargaining in
good faith and stalling in anticipation of Proposition 22. A strike
was _ called by the workers and
260 people left their jobs.
White River Farms then began
using &,cabs to preak the strike in
early September. Five UFWU
pickets were arrested on September 9. Earl Brown (brother-inlaw of scab contractor Bill Taber) struck two pickets with his
truck; one of them, Maria Arevallo, was sent to the hospital.
No arrest mad on Brown.
On September 11, a restraining order was issued limiting
pickets to three at each entrance,
and one every 50 feet surrounding
the ranch property. Over 80
sheriff's officers rigorously enforced the restraining order.
Richard Chavez says, "They try
to arrest us when one man goes
out to hand a picket a sandwich."
Eventually 240 pickets were arrested, the majority of them for
violation of the injunction and not
on charges of violence as is implied by the growers.
Four pickets were arrested
for trespassing after entering the
fields to perform a citizen's arrest on some illegal aliens in
the field. Incidentally, a total of
78 illegal aliens were arrested
by the U.S. Border Patrol, al-
though UFW members claim
there were more workers working illegally on the farm.
The violence at White River
Farms is being used to push
Proposition 22. To quote Richard
Chavez: "The growers need this
strike for ammunition to push
Proposition 22. They want propaganda to put the fear of agricultural strikes in people's hands."
On October 6, Harry Kubo,
president of the Nisei Farmers
League, announced "Worker Appreciation Day" for October 7
preciation Day" for October 7
and said 1,000 farmers came to
White River Farms to pick
grapes. The project was sponsored by the Kern County Farm
· Bureau, and Central California
Farmers Association. Farmers
worked at the standard wage and
the money was given to scabs
as a bonus at the end of the
harvest. The wage totals were
matched dollar for dollar by the
co m pan y . The 400 growers
worked from about 9-U :30, then
quit and had a barbecue for
themselves. That is how much
they appreciated thei_r workers.
White River Farms consistently blamed Chavez and the
UFW for breaking off negotiations, yet their spokesman, Richard Freeland, is quoted .in the
LA Times as saying "Money is no
object. We will spend a fortune
to get this crop harvested and
after we're through we will plan
out how to run this farm permanently without a union."
Andres Cangemi, Vice-President of White River Farms, said
•we 're not ready to negotiate a
contact with the Farm Workers
Union at this time. And there's
a good possibility we'll not negotiate at all."
Many violent acts were attributed to the farm workers during this time. No farm workers
were arrested in conjunction with
the burning of the police car,
alleged destruction of orchards
or trees, and alleged shed burnings. Perhaps the growers did
these things themselves to cas.t a
bad light on the UFW.
The UFW does not condone
violence. Its leader, Cesar Chavez, has fasted many times to
show his belief in non-violence.
The UFW admits that it is very
difficult to control a large crowd
and complete peace cannot be
guaranteed. All we can do is try.
But the general public rarely
hears of violence committed by
those who oppose the UFW. A
group of about 15 young men,
including the son of Bill Taber
(the scab contractor? attacked the
UFW office in Poplar on October
7, 1972. The UFW ba1rner was
ripped off the wall, taken outside
and burned. Rocks were thrown
at the windows and bullets pierced
the walls of the building. The next
night two Arab workers, mis taken
for Mexican farm workers were
badly beaten up by anti-UFW
vigilante groups and one was
hospitalized. On October 9, 1972, vigilante groups again attacked
the office, this time sending Elena
Rojas, a pregnant farm worker,
to the hospital with a concussion
and a deep gash on her head.
After all these events (a sheriff
witnessed two men openly carrying rifles and refused to arrest
them (three persons were ar_rested: Danny Taber, a sonofthe
scab contractor, for malicious
miscl)ief, and two others for
drunkenness.
Suits for damages have been
filed by both parties involved,
and there is no doubt in my
mind who the courts will decide
in favor of. For justice always

looking at the farm worker.

would go to court for these murders. They were not allowed to

to get someone for the killings so two carnales were labeled
"trouble-makers," "le ad er s,"
and "revolutionaries" and taken
taken away. No one was allowed
visitors. Also other car n a 1 es
were transferred to other institutions - three of whom were
killed almost immediately. Were
these moves a way of splitting
up the unity among the Chicanos
within Soledad?
This is only one of the many
incidents happening every day.
Many of the strongest soldados de
La Raza have been Pintos, thus
we must support their attempts
to overcome the injustices being
perpetuated against them - j:ist
as Pintos have supported El
Movimiento.
On Saturday ~·October 21, 1972,
a group of concerned individuals
(students, instructors and community members) totaling approximately 50 or 60, took a
three hour drive up to Soledad
and staged a rally. During visiting
hours, people marched around in
a large circle at the main gate,
holding signs and shouting support for the Pintos (ignoring remarks of the guards) so as toinform others of these injustices
and to show the prison authorities
that people care and will aot sit
still for these injustices.
I would like to take the .opportunity to thank all the individuals
involved in making this day happen - all who helped plan it, all
who went on this day, and all
who volunteered their cars for
transportation to Soledad. Thaak
you all.

V 9ting for McGovern's beliefs
M.A.P.A. and La Raza Unida will not endorse any party this year.
Does this mean that they don't care if Nixon gets re-elected? Does .
this mean that they are willing to go through four more years of the
same bullshit? Don't these two organizations realize that what they
s;:i.y carries a great deal of weight around their areas?
I cannot understand. Why are they not willing to endorse McGovern?
Is it because the Democratic Party never comes to the Chicano unless
it's an election year? Well, this year the Democratic Party is not
coming to the Chicanos. If it- was the Democratic Party, why are
there Democrats for Nixon? If it was the Democratic Party, why
didn't George Meany and organized laborwantotsupport George McGovern? I do not see it as voting for the Democratic Party, I see it
as voting for George McGovern andSargentShriverand their beliefs.
I've been told all this shit about getting involved, being concerned,
,and now M.A.P.A. and La Raza Unida come out and say they don't
care if Nixon is elected again. This country needs radical change,
I mean . Radical Change! No one has ever professed such radical
change as McGovern is doing now. lfa man is willing to put his political career on the line for what he believes in he's either insane or
he's got enough "huev-0s" to stand up to the fat cats who control this

Two Chican.os
elected senator
For the first time in the his"."
tory of CSUF, two Chicano freshman senators have been swept
into office by an overwhelming
majority. They will be joining
four other Chicano members of
the Student Senate.
The two new Chicano senators
will be Daniel Casas and Victor
Echeveste.
Victor Echeveste, a gr.actuate
of Reedley High School, has had
political experience before. In
high school, he was president of
MECHA and he was also senior
class student representative .on
the student council. When asked
how he felt upon his victory, he
stated, "I'm glad I won, but I'm
not here to take sides. I'm here
to represent the freshman class.
Though, this doesn't mean that
I won't represent the Chicanos.
I, along with J_he other five Chicano members of the senate, will
represent the Chicanos the best
way we can."
Daniel Casas, · a graduate of
Roosevelt High School, here in
Fresno, has also had political experience in high school. Asked
what he felt about being elected,
he replied , "I feel great about
being elected freshman senator.
If anybody has any questions,
please feel free to come and ask
me at any time. I'm hereto represent anybody, if you have any
problem, feel free to come to
me."

EDITORIAL
NO on 22
If California's farm workers are to continue on their upward
struggle toward equality, we must join together and work to defeat
Proposition 22.
Proposition 22 was put together by the Fair Labor Practices committee, which is nothing more than a front for large agribusiness
groups in California. These agribusiness groups have contributed
close to $300,000 toward the passage of Proposition 22 and are prepared to spend upwards of one million dollars to insure the voters'
-approval.
Proponents of Proposition 22 say that it wm bring the farmworker
under a Labor Relations Act, • just like any other worker". In reply
to this I ask, "What other worker has the life expectancy of 49 years?•
To simply categorize a farm worker as "another worker" is doing
him a gross injustice. What other worker has to work eight to 10
hours a day, stooped over all day, and for wages that do not exceed
$2.40 an hour.
Another contention is that the bill would set up an impartial board
that would look over farm labor relations, a board that would be appointed by the 9overnor - in this case, Governor Reagan-Bullshit.
Are California's farm workers expected to believe that this would
really be an impartial board! Reagan has never been a person to feel
sympathy for the plight of the campesino.
All men are brothers, sons of God; that is why we say to all men of
good will, in the words of Pope ·LeoXIII, "Ev~ryone's first duty is to
protect the workers from the greed of speculators who use human
beings as instruments to provide themselves with money. It is neither
just nor human to oppress men with excessive work to the point where
their minds become enfeebled and their bodies worn out." God shall
not abandon us!

The clearest choice for a generation
So McGovern can't win, eh?
Wp.ere have you heard that before?
In the primaries last Spring,
that's where.
But you fooled the political
experts and rewrote the history
books. You provided the manpower
and womanpower for the largest,
smoothest, toughest vote-canvassing operation this .country had
ever seen.
Now it's time to do it again.
And the job this Fall is even more
important. For the choice between
Nixon and McGovern is the clearest choice voters have had for a
generation.
McGovern has opposed the
bombing of Indochina, while
Nixon has been inflicting the explosive equivalent of 7 Hiroshima
atom bombs a month on that already devastated area.
Nixon believes in putting people out of work in order to hold
down prices. His policies have put
2 million more people out of work.
McGovern believes that there
should be a job for everyone who
wants to work, with the U.S. Gov-
ernment itself as the employer of
last resort.
·
Nixon started his campaign
with $10 million in secret money.
McGovern's campaign is financed
almost entirely by contributions
of $5 to $25 from the people.
Nixon has nominated conservatives and mediocrities to the
United States Supreme Court.
One or two more Nixon appointments if he is re-elected, and you'll
live with a heavy-handed Nixon
court for the rest of .your life.
McGovern has pledged to appoint
a woman and members of racial
and ethnic minorities, and will appoint highly qualified liberals.

Administration is "the most corrupt in our history." The late
Robert Kennedy called George
McGovern "the most decent man
in the Senate."
McGovern wants the millionaires and the large corporations to
start paying their fair share of
taxes. Nixon wants to maintain
the status quo.
Get an absentee ballot if you
need one. Get some money together to help us make get-outthe-vote phone calls. And get together with your local McGovern
Committee to find out how you
can help.
You started this campaign. It's
up to you to finish it.

I belong to this country; but think differently too

Fresno MAPA chapter goes
for Sen. George McGovern
The 103 voting delegates who
gathered at the Biltmore Hotel in
Los Angeles, were asked to
choose between supporting Sen.
George McGovern or President
Nixon, or adopting a no-endorsement put forward by supporters
of the separate Chicano Party,
La Raza Unida.
Results on the voting were 42
votes each for Sen. McGovern
and a no-endorsement, with Nixon
drawing 18 votes.
There were many good arguments for McGovern and no endorsement, but the Nixon camp
was hard pressed and somewhat
ridiculed by most of the MAPA
delegates.
Armando Rodriquez, candidate
for District 3 Supervisor and
MAPA State President, was the
Convention chairman.
Twenty delegates from our
Fresno Chapter were the the
biggest delegation for any one
chapter. All twenty backed McGovern.
MAPA delegates took official
stands on nine ballot propositions, including some of the more
controversial measures to be
voted on November 7.
By voice vote, the delegates
came out in favor of pay raises
for state employes (Proposition
15), the legalization of marijuana
(Proposition l!)) and the coastline initiative (Proposition 20).
The delegates voted against
supporting the Watson tax initiative (Proposition 14), pay raises
for California Highway Patrolmen (Proposition 16), the death
penalty (Proposition 17) and the
obscenity initiative (Proposition

Food is sent to union
In keeping within its policy of
aiding the farm workers, Las
Adelitas recently sponsored a
food drive and were responsible
for collecting $70 ~orth of canned
goods from the local college community. The food was delivered
to the F res no Farmworkers
Union Office and then was distributed to striking farm workers
in Poplar, California.
At the present time, Las Adelitas are participating in the campaign to elect Armando Rodriquez
as Supervisor to the 3rd District.
A benefit dance for Mr. Rodriquez
will be held at the Rainbow Ballroom on November 1 featuring

Las Adelitas in its recent
meeting announced a Chicano social get-together which will take
place November 2 in the International Room from 11:30 a.m.
to 1 p.m. Las Adelitas will be
preparing food for the "Tertulia"
which is being sponsored by all
Chicano organizations on campus. All Chicanos - students,
faculty, staff, groundsmen and
custodial workers are invited

Another announcement made
was the unanimous opposition to
Proposition 22, the Farmworkers
Initiative. Many girls have been

Farmworker strike fell by White River
The harvest at White River

Farm Workers members. According to Gil Padilla of UFW,
that is a conservative estimate
of the losses.

20, 1972, the UFWU contract ex-
pired. Meanwhile, 35 of 50
Hamburg Farms workers signed
authorization cards for the UFWU
to negotiate a contract for them
also. Negotiations were then broken off on August 28, 1072. The
company demanded changes in
grievance procedures, additional
subcontracting provisions (to
eliminate Union hiring hall), and
refused to establish recognition
procedure for Hamburg Farms'
workers. It was then that Cesar
Chavez charged company management with not bargaining in
good faith and stalling in anticipation of Proposition 22. A strike
was _ called by the workers and
260 people left their jobs.
White River Farms then began
using &,cabs to preak the strike in
early September. Five UFWU
pickets were arrested on September 9. Earl Brown (brother-inlaw of scab contractor Bill Taber) struck two pickets with his
truck; one of them, Maria Arevallo, was sent to the hospital.
No arrest mad on Brown.
On September 11, a restraining order was issued limiting
pickets to three at each entrance,
and one every 50 feet surrounding
the ranch property. Over 80
sheriff's officers rigorously enforced the restraining order.
Richard Chavez says, "They try
to arrest us when one man goes
out to hand a picket a sandwich."
Eventually 240 pickets were arrested, the majority of them for
violation of the injunction and not
on charges of violence as is implied by the growers.
Four pickets were arrested
for trespassing after entering the
fields to perform a citizen's arrest on some illegal aliens in
the field. Incidentally, a total of
78 illegal aliens were arrested
by the U.S. Border Patrol, al-
though UFW members claim
there were more workers working illegally on the farm.
The violence at White River
Farms is being used to push
Proposition 22. To quote Richard
Chavez: "The growers need this
strike for ammunition to push
Proposition 22. They want propaganda to put the fear of agricultural strikes in people's hands."
On October 6, Harry Kubo,
president of the Nisei Farmers
League, announced "Worker Appreciation Day" for October 7
preciation Day" for October 7
and said 1,000 farmers came to
White River Farms to pick
grapes. The project was sponsored by the Kern County Farm
· Bureau, and Central California
Farmers Association. Farmers
worked at the standard wage and
the money was given to scabs
as a bonus at the end of the
harvest. The wage totals were
matched dollar for dollar by the
co m pan y . The 400 growers
worked from about 9-U :30, then
quit and had a barbecue for
themselves. That is how much
they appreciated thei_r workers.
White River Farms consistently blamed Chavez and the
UFW for breaking off negotiations, yet their spokesman, Richard Freeland, is quoted .in the
LA Times as saying "Money is no
object. We will spend a fortune
to get this crop harvested and
after we're through we will plan
out how to run this farm permanently without a union."
Andres Cangemi, Vice-President of White River Farms, said
•we 're not ready to negotiate a
contact with the Farm Workers
Union at this time. And there's
a good possibility we'll not negotiate at all."
Many violent acts were attributed to the farm workers during this time. No farm workers
were arrested in conjunction with
the burning of the police car,
alleged destruction of orchards
or trees, and alleged shed burnings. Perhaps the growers did
these things themselves to cas.t a
bad light on the UFW.
The UFW does not condone
violence. Its leader, Cesar Chavez, has fasted many times to
show his belief in non-violence.
The UFW admits that it is very
difficult to control a large crowd
and complete peace cannot be
guaranteed. All we can do is try.
But the general public rarely
hears of violence committed by
those who oppose the UFW. A
group of about 15 young men,
including the son of Bill Taber
(the scab contractor? attacked the
UFW office in Poplar on October
7, 1972. The UFW ba1rner was
ripped off the wall, taken outside
and burned. Rocks were thrown
at the windows and bullets pierced
the walls of the building. The next
night two Arab workers, mis taken
for Mexican farm workers were
badly beaten up by anti-UFW
vigilante groups and one was
hospitalized. On October 9, 1972, vigilante groups again attacked
the office, this time sending Elena
Rojas, a pregnant farm worker,
to the hospital with a concussion
and a deep gash on her head.
After all these events (a sheriff
witnessed two men openly carrying rifles and refused to arrest
them (three persons were ar_rested: Danny Taber, a sonofthe
scab contractor, for malicious
miscl)ief, and two others for
drunkenness.
Suits for damages have been

in favor of. For justice always

to get someone for the killings so two carnales were labeled

and "revolutionaries" and taken

were transferred to other institutions - three of whom were
killed almost immediately. Were
these moves a way of splitting
up the unity among the Chicanos
within Soledad?
This is only one of the many
incidents happening every day.
Many of the strongest soldados de
La Raza have been Pintos, thus
we must support their attempts
to overcome the injustices being
perpetuated against them - j:ist
as Pintos have supported El
Movimiento.
On Saturday ~·October 21, 1972,
a group of concerned individuals
(students, instructors and community members) totaling approximately 50 or 60, took a
three hour drive up to Soledad
and staged a rally. During visiting
hours, people marched around in
a large circle at the main gate,
holding signs and shouting support for the Pintos (ignoring remarks of the guards) so as toinform others of these injustices
and to show the prison authorities
that people care and will aot sit
still for these injustices.
I would like to take the .opportunity to thank all the individuals
involved in making this day happen - all who helped plan it, all
who went on this day, and all
who volunteered their cars for
transportation to Soledad. Thaak
you all.

V 9ting for McGovern's beliefs
M.A.P.A. and La Raza Unida will not endorse any party this year.
Does this mean that they don't care if Nixon gets re-elected? Does .
this mean that they are willing to go through four more years of the
same bullshit? Don't these two organizations realize that what they
s;:i.y carries a great deal of weight around their areas?
I cannot understand. Why are they not willing to endorse McGovern?
Is it because the Democratic Party never comes to the Chicano unless
it's an election year? Well, this year the Democratic Party is not
coming to the Chicanos. If it- was the Democratic Party, why are
there Democrats for Nixon? If it was the Democratic Party, why
didn't George Meany and organized laborwantotsupport George McGovern? I do not see it as voting for the Democratic Party, I see it
as voting for George McGovern andSargentShriverand their beliefs.
I've been told all this shit about getting involved, being concerned,
,and now M.A.P.A. and La Raza Unida come out and say they don't
care if Nixon is elected again. This country needs radical change,
I mean . Radical Change! No one has ever professed such radical
change as McGovern is doing now. lfa man is willing to put his political career on the line for what he believes in he's either insane or
he's got enough "huev-0s" to stand up to the fat cats who control this
so-called democracy. Do La Raza Unida and M.A.P.A. believe the
first?

Two Chican.os
elected senator
For the first time in the his"."
tory of CSUF, two Chicano freshman senators have been swept
into office by an overwhelming
majority. They will be joining
four other Chicano members of
the Student Senate.
The two new Chicano senators
will be Daniel Casas and Victor
Echeveste.
Victor Echeveste, a gr.actuate
of Reedley High School, has had
political experience before. In
high school, he was president of
MECHA and he was also senior
class student representative .on
the student council. When asked
how he felt upon his victory, he
stated, "I'm glad I won, but I'm
not here to take sides. I'm here
to represent the freshman class.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
EDITORIAL
NO on 22
If California's farm workers are to continue on their upward
struggle toward equality, we must join together and work to defeat
Proposition 22.
Proposition 22 was put together by the Fair Labor Practices committee, which is nothing more than a front for large agribusiness
groups in California. These agribusiness groups have contributed
close to $300,000 toward the passage of Proposition 22 and are prepared to spend upwards of one million dollars to insure the voters'
-approval.
Proponents of Proposition 22 say that it wm bring the farmworker
under a Labor Relations Act, • just like any other worker". In reply
to this I ask, "What other worker has the life expectancy of 49 years?•
To simply categorize a farm worker as "another worker" is doing
him a gross injustice. What other worker has to work eight to 10
hours a day, stooped over all day, and for wages that do not exceed
$2.40 an hour.
Another contention is that the bill would set up an impartial board
that would look over farm labor relations, a board that would be appointed by the 9overnor - in this case, Governor Reagan-Bullshit.
Are California's farm workers expected to believe that this would
really be an impartial board! Reagan has never been a person to feel
sympathy for the plight of the campesino.
All men are brothers, sons of God; that is why we say to all men of
good will, in the words of Pope ·LeoXIII, "Ev~ryone's first duty is to
protect the workers from the greed of speculators who use human
beings as instruments to provide themselves with money. It is neither
just nor human to oppress men with excessive work to the point where
their minds become enfeebled and their bodies worn out." God shall
not abandon us!

The clearest choice for a generation
So McGovern can't win, eh?
Wp.ere have you heard that before?
In the primaries last Spring,
that's where.
But you fooled the political
experts and rewrote the history
books. You provided the manpower
and womanpower for the largest,
smoothest, toughest vote-canvassing operation this .country had
ever seen.
Now it's time to do it again.
And the job this Fall is even more
important. For the choice between
Nixon and McGovern is the clearest choice voters have had for a
generation.
McGovern has opposed the
bombing of Indochina, while
Nixon has been inflicting the explosive equivalent of 7 Hiroshima
atom bombs a month on that already devastated area.
Nixon believes in putting people out of work in order to hold
down prices. His policies have put
2 million more people out of work.
McGovern believes that there
should be a job for everyone who
wants to work, with the U.S. Gov-
ernment itself as the employer of
last resort.
·
Nixon started his campaign
with $10 million in secret money.
McGovern's campaign is financed
almost entirely by contributions
of $5 to $25 from the people.
Nixon has nominated conservatives and mediocrities to the
United States Supreme Court.
One or two more Nixon appointments if he is re-elected, and you'll
live with a heavy-handed Nixon
court for the rest of .your life.
McGovern has pledged to appoint
a woman and members of racial
and ethnic minorities, and will appoint highly qualified liberals.

Fresno MAPA chapter goes
for Sen. George McGovern
The 103 voting delegates who
gathered at the Biltmore Hotel in
Los Angeles, were asked to
choose between supporting Sen.
George McGovern or President
Nixon, or adopting a no-endorsement put forward by supporters
of the separate Chicano Party,
La Raza Unida.
Results on the voting were 42
votes each for Sen. McGovern
and a no-endorsement, with Nixon
drawing 18 votes.
There were many good arguments for McGovern and no endorsement, but the Nixon camp
was hard pressed and somewhat
ridiculed by most of the MAPA
delegates.
Armando Rodriquez, candidate
for District 3 Supervisor and
MAPA State President, was the
Convention chairman.
Twenty delegates from our
Fresno Chapter were the the
biggest delegation for any one
chapter. All twenty backed McGovern.
MAPA delegates took official
stands on nine ballot propositions, including some of the more
controversial measures to be
voted on November 7.
By voice vote, the delegates
came out in favor of pay raises
for state employes (Proposition
15), the legalization of marijuana
(Proposition l!)) and the coastline initiative (Proposition 20).
The delegates voted against
supporting the Watson tax initiative (Proposition 14), pay raises
for California Highway Patrolmen (Proposition 16), the death
penalty (Proposition 17) and the
obscenity initiative (Proposition

in Poplar, California.
At the present time, Las Adelitas are participating in the campaign to elect Armando Rodriquez
as Supervisor to the 3rd District.
A benefit dance for Mr. Rodriquez
will be held at the Rainbow Ballroom on November 1 featuring

20, 1972, the UFWU contract ex-
pired. Meanwhile, 35 of 50
Hamburg Farms workers signed
authorization cards for the UFWU
to negotiate a contract for them
also. Negotiations were then broken off on August 28, 1072. The
company demanded changes in
grievance procedures, additional
subcontracting provisions (to
eliminate Union hiring hall), and
refused to establish recognition
procedure for Hamburg Farms'
workers. It was then that Cesar
Chavez charged company management with not bargaining in
good faith and stalling in anticipation of Proposition 22. A strike
was _ called by the workers and
260 people left their jobs.
White River Farms then began
using &,cabs to preak the strike in
early September. Five UFWU
pickets were arrested on September 9. Earl Brown (brother-inlaw of scab contractor Bill Taber) struck two pickets with his
truck; one of them, Maria Arevallo, was sent to the hospital.
No arrest mad on Brown.
On September 11, a restraining order was issued limiting
pickets to three at each entrance,
and one every 50 feet surrounding
the ranch property. Over 80
sheriff's officers rigorously enforced the restraining order.
Richard Chavez says, "They try
to arrest us when one man goes
out to hand a picket a sandwich."
Eventually 240 pickets were arrested, the majority of them for
violation of the injunction and not
on charges of violence as is implied by the growers.
Four pickets were arrested
for trespassing after entering the
fields to perform a citizen's arrest on some illegal aliens in
the field. Incidentally, a total of
78 illegal aliens were arrested
by the U.S. Border Patrol, al-
though UFW members claim
there were more workers working illegally on the farm.
The violence at White River
Farms is being used to push
Proposition 22. To quote Richard
Chavez: "The growers need this
strike for ammunition to push
Proposition 22. They want propaganda to put the fear of agricultural strikes in people's hands."
On October 6, Harry Kubo,
president of the Nisei Farmers
League, announced "Worker Appreciation Day" for October 7
preciation Day" for October 7
and said 1,000 farmers came to
White River Farms to pick
grapes. The project was sponsored by the Kern County Farm
· Bureau, and Central California
Farmers Association. Farmers
worked at the standard wage and
the money was given to scabs
as a bonus at the end of the
harvest. The wage totals were
matched dollar for dollar by the
co m pan y . The 400 growers
worked from about 9-U :30, then
quit and had a barbecue for
themselves. That is how much
they appreciated thei_r workers.
White River Farms consistently blamed Chavez and the
UFW for breaking off negotiations, yet their spokesman, Richard Freeland, is quoted .in the
LA Times as saying "Money is no
object. We will spend a fortune
to get this crop harvested and
after we're through we will plan
out how to run this farm permanently without a union."
Andres Cangemi, Vice-President of White River Farms, said
•we 're not ready to negotiate a
contact with the Farm Workers
Union at this time. And there's
a good possibility we'll not negotiate at all."
Many violent acts were attributed to the farm workers during this time. No farm workers
were arrested in conjunction with
the burning of the police car,
alleged destruction of orchards
or trees, and alleged shed burnings. Perhaps the growers did
these things themselves to cas.t a
bad light on the UFW.
The UFW does not condone
violence. Its leader, Cesar Chavez, has fasted many times to
show his belief in non-violence.
The UFW admits that it is very
difficult to control a large crowd
and complete peace cannot be
guaranteed. All we can do is try.
But the general public rarely
hears of violence committed by
those who oppose the UFW. A
group of about 15 young men,
including the son of Bill Taber
(the scab contractor? attacked the
UFW office in Poplar on October
7, 1972. The UFW ba1rner was
ripped off the wall, taken outside
and burned. Rocks were thrown
at the windows and bullets pierced
the walls of the building. The next
night two Arab workers, mis taken
for Mexican farm workers were
badly beaten up by anti-UFW
vigilante groups and one was
hospitalized. On October 9, 1972, vigilante groups again attacked
the office, this time sending Elena
Rojas, a pregnant farm worker,
to the hospital with a concussion
and a deep gash on her head.
After all these events (a sheriff
witnessed two men openly carrying rifles and refused to arrest
them (three persons were ar_rested: Danny Taber, a sonofthe
scab contractor, for malicious
miscl)ief, and two others for
drunkenness.
Suits for damages have been
filed by both parties involved,

mind who the courts will decide
in favor of. For justice always

would go to court for these murders. They were not allowed to

to get someone for the killings so two carnales were labeled
"trouble-makers," "le ad er s,"
and "revolutionaries" and taken
taken away. No one was allowed
visitors. Also other car n a 1 es
were transferred to other institutions - three of whom were
killed almost immediately. Were
these moves a way of splitting
up the unity among the Chicanos
within Soledad?
This is only one of the many
incidents happening every day.
Many of the strongest soldados de
La Raza have been Pintos, thus
we must support their attempts
to overcome the injustices being
perpetuated against them - j:ist
as Pintos have supported El
Movimiento.
On Saturday ~·October 21, 1972,
a group of concerned individuals
(students, instructors and community members) totaling approximately 50 or 60, took a
three hour drive up to Soledad
and staged a rally. During visiting
hours, people marched around in
a large circle at the main gate,
holding signs and shouting support for the Pintos (ignoring remarks of the guards) so as toinform others of these injustices
and to show the prison authorities
that people care and will aot sit
still for these injustices.
I would like to take the .opportunity to thank all the individuals
involved in making this day happen - all who helped plan it, all
who went on this day, and all
who volunteered their cars for
transportation to Soledad. Thaak
you all.

V 9ting for McGovern's beliefs
M.A.P.A. and La Raza Unida will not endorse any party this year.
Does this mean that they don't care if Nixon gets re-elected? Does .
this mean that they are willing to go through four more years of the
same bullshit? Don't these two organizations realize that what they
s;:i.y carries a great deal of weight around their areas?
I cannot understand. Why are they not willing to endorse McGovern?
Is it because the Democratic Party never comes to the Chicano unless
it's an election year? Well, this year the Democratic Party is not
coming to the Chicanos. If it- was the Democratic Party, why are
there Democrats for Nixon? If it was the Democratic Party, why
didn't George Meany and organized laborwantotsupport George McGovern? I do not see it as voting for the Democratic Party, I see it
as voting for George McGovern andSargentShriverand their beliefs.
I've been told all this shit about getting involved, being concerned,
,and now M.A.P.A. and La Raza Unida come out and say they don't
care if Nixon is elected again. This country needs radical change,
I mean . Radical Change! No one has ever professed such radical
change as McGovern is doing now. lfa man is willing to put his political career on the line for what he believes in he's either insane or
he's got enough "huev-0s" to stand up to the fat cats who control this
so-called democracy. Do La Raza Unida and M.A.P.A. believe the
first?

Two Chican.os
elected senator
For the first time in the his"."
tory of CSUF, two Chicano freshman senators have been swept
into office by an overwhelming
majority. They will be joining
four other Chicano members of
the Student Senate.
The two new Chicano senators
will be Daniel Casas and Victor
Echeveste.
Victor Echeveste, a gr.actuate
of Reedley High School, has had
political experience before. In
high school, he was president of
MECHA and he was also senior
class student representative .on
the student council. When asked
how he felt upon his victory, he
stated, "I'm glad I won, but I'm
not here to take sides. I'm here
to represent the freshman class.
Though, this doesn't mean that
I won't represent the Chicanos.
I, along with J_he other five Chicano members of the senate, will
represent the Chicanos the best
way we can."
Daniel Casas, · a graduate of
Roosevelt High School, here in
Fresno, has also had political experience in high school. Asked
what he felt about being elected,
he replied , "I feel great about
being elected freshman senator.
If anybody has any questions,
please feel free to come and ask
me at any time. I'm hereto represent anybody, if you have any
problem, feel free to come to
me."
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
EDITORIAL
NO on 22
If California's farm workers are to continue on their upward
struggle toward equality, we must join together and work to defeat
Proposition 22.
Proposition 22 was put together by the Fair Labor Practices committee, which is nothing more than a front for large agribusiness
groups in California. These agribusiness groups have contributed
close to $300,000 toward the passage of Proposition 22 and are prepared to spend upwards of one million dollars to insure the voters'
-approval.
Proponents of Proposition 22 say that it wm bring the farmworker
under a Labor Relations Act, • just like any other worker". In reply
to this I ask, "What other worker has the life expectancy of 49 years?•
To simply categorize a farm worker as "another worker" is doing
him a gross injustice. What other worker has to work eight to 10
hours a day, stooped over all day, and for wages that do not exceed
$2.40 an hour.
Another contention is that the bill would set up an impartial board
that would look over farm labor relations, a board that would be appointed by the 9overnor - in this case, Governor Reagan-Bullshit.
Are California's farm workers expected to believe that this would
really be an impartial board! Reagan has never been a person to feel
sympathy for the plight of the campesino.
All men are brothers, sons of God; that is why we say to all men of
good will, in the words of Pope ·LeoXIII, "Ev~ryone's first duty is to
protect the workers from the greed of speculators who use human
beings as instruments to provide themselves with money. It is neither
just nor human to oppress men with excessive work to the point where
their minds become enfeebled and their bodies worn out." God shall
not abandon us!

The clearest choice for a generation
So McGovern can't win, eh?
Wp.ere have you heard that before?
In the primaries last Spring,
that's where.
But you fooled the political
experts and rewrote the history
books. You provided the manpower
and womanpower for the largest,
smoothest, toughest vote-canvassing operation this .country had
ever seen.
Now it's time to do it again.
And the job this Fall is even more
important. For the choice between
Nixon and McGovern is the clearest choice voters have had for a
generation.
McGovern has opposed the
bombing of Indochina, while
Nixon has been inflicting the explosive equivalent of 7 Hiroshima
atom bombs a month on that already devastated area.
Nixon believes in putting people out of work in order to hold
down prices. His policies have put
2 million more people out of work.
McGovern believes that there
should be a job for everyone who
wants to work, with the U.S. Gov-
ernment itself as the employer of
last resort.
·
Nixon started his campaign
with $10 million in secret money.
McGovern's campaign is financed
almost entirely by contributions
of $5 to $25 from the people.
Nixon has nominated conservatives and mediocrities to the
United States Supreme Court.
One or two more Nixon appointments if he is re-elected, and you'll
live with a heavy-handed Nixon
court for the rest of .your life.
McGovern has pledged to appoint
a woman and members of racial
and ethnic minorities, and will appoint highly qualified liberals.
Ralph Nader says the Nixon

Administration is "the most corrupt in our history." The late

McGovern "the most decent man
in the Senate."
McGovern wants the millionaires and the large corporations to
start paying their fair share of
taxes. Nixon wants to maintain
the status quo.

I AM A CHICANO
1. am a Chicano, somewhat different from you .
I belong to this country; but think differently too
I dress I ike you do, do what you I ike to do
I am as human as you, with my own feelings too.
I feel pride and feel pain,
Feel disgust and concern
I can laugh and can cry
Was born I ike you, and I ike you wi II die.
I get married, and have a family
That makes me sad and makes me happy
I have a culture different from yours
I'm proud of mine, as you are of yours.
When reading a book written in English
It's hard to understand, 'cause I'm thinking in Spanish
I ask for a job, you say there is none_
Then. continue interviewing the moment I'm gone.
I improve myself by going to school
If I speak with an accent, you think I'm a fool
You say "'I don't I ike it, go back where you came from•
Can't grant your request, here's where I was born.
I'm no troublemaker, never di_
d like fights
Hope you understand, I'm just demanding my rights
I am a Chicano, somewhat different from you
A true Americano, and a Damn good one too!'

Fresno MAPA chapter goes
for Sen. George McGovern
The 103 voting delegates who
gathered at the Biltmore Hotel in
Los Angeles, were asked to
choose between supporting Sen.
George McGovern or President
Nixon, or adopting a no-endorsement put forward by supporters
of the separate Chicano Party,
La Raza Unida.
Results on the voting were 42
votes each for Sen. McGovern
and a no-endorsement, with Nixon
drawing 18 votes.
There were many good arguments for McGovern and no endorsement, but the Nixon camp
was hard pressed and somewhat
ridiculed by most of the MAPA
delegates.
Armando Rodriquez, candidate
for District 3 Supervisor and
MAPA State President, was the
Convention chairman.
Twenty delegates from our
Fresno Chapter were the the
biggest delegation for any one
chapter. All twenty backed McGovern.
MAPA delegates took official
stands on nine ballot propositions, including some of the more
controversial measures to be
voted on November 7.
By voice vote, the delegates
came out in favor of pay raises
for state employes (Proposition
15), the legalization of marijuana
(Proposition l!)) and the coastline initiative (Proposition 20).
The delegates voted against
supporting the Watson tax initiative (Proposition 14), pay raises
for California Highway Patrolmen (Proposition 16), the death
penalty (Proposition 17) and the
obscenity initiative (Proposition
