"On July 23, 1975, I was picketing with the United Farm Workers (UFW) at the Duncan Farms near Saragosa, Reeves County, Texas. We were picketing the onion fields at Duncan Farms and all of the pickers joined the strike. "I and some other organizers then drove east for about three miles on a blacktop road and found sone workers harvesting melons. About twenty-three pickers joined the strike. “We were there about a 1/2 hour or 45 minutes when a Deputy Sheriff drove up and told us we were on a private road. We disagreed with him because we had a county map fran the Texas Highway Depart- ment which showed that we were on a public road. About five or ten minutes later, the Chief Deputy drove up. He told us to leave and gave us ten seconds to do so. It was not possible for us to even load up the people in ten seconds. We were all then placed under arrest by the Chief Deputy who told everybody to get into my truck, a 1964 Chevrolet 1/2 ton pick-up truck. There were four organizers and 23 workers, including seven children,under arrest. ierviewed on_IO/10/75 sot San nan, Texas rite # SA AA 2BRg by Date dictetad_} 0 /] fal f15. _— baal This gocument contoint neither recommendations mor conciysions of the FBI tt is the property of Ihe FS! ond is loaned to your agency. 1 ond its contents ore nol to be distributed outside your agency. tf
