- Farmworkers’ union pushes on NEW YORK — Monopoly's fleeting beadaches promise to turn into migraines as the United Farm Workers Organizing Com- mittee (UFWOC) continues to - Organize in California and then sweep over the landscape of this t CesarChavez had pledged, and ao far he has been true to his word, that the UFWOC will forge ‘‘one single union for the farmworkers of the United States.” Monopoly, which has been run- ning rampant over the lives of farmworkers, suddenly confront- ed the first real obstacle in recent history in the farms of Deiano, California, five years ago. The grape fields must be. Or, ganized. The strike is on.” * The weapon of ‘the boycott is used against Safeway. People — soon learn that Safeway, the second largest food chain in the U.S., con- tingfes to carry scab grapes pre- ci ly because it is one of the est farm owners in California. é there is a drive pot to “ENEMY Oh SIGHT, SREP NENOVI61970 2 bank at Rank of America, the big- gest bank in the world, which owns considerabie land in the val- ley. And Southern Pacific Rail- road, people are told, has land amounting to 20,000,000 acres by virtue of early land grabs. So, the public slowly becomes educated. It learns that the grow- ers are not the borny-handed sons and daughters of the land. Behind every large farm there.is a larse corporation or bank, the directors of which are interiocking. - For example, J.G. Boswell, member of the Safeway Board of Directors, is also a member of the board of directors of J.G. Bosweii Co., Boston Ranch, Crockett Gam- body, Tulare Lake Land Co., and Miller & Lux, all of which own farmland in the rich valleys of California. While there are some famify- owned farms, the dominant trol rests in the hands of the la financial interests. The public also learns that the farmworkers, by and large coi- ored peoples, make meager wages, live in hovels fit only for rats, are denied the right to health and unemployment insurance, are regularly subiected to the careless spraying of pesticides that endanger their families’ lives. Agri-business is regularly mak- ing its super-profits at the expense of ihe workers’ weifare and coi- lecting its government subsidies for not growing crops, taking _ @ut of the mouths of the poor. 3. G. Boswell and Co. alone received $4,091,613 in subsidies in asl the public will soon learn that the victory of the farmwork- ers in California will be like a flame in a ary Valley. It will spread until it caiches ihe imag- ination of the farmworkers in alli ranches in this country and one single farmworkers union is forged from paltfornia-to-Nev N\ York to Florida.
