9 On December 3, 1969, £P T l advised as follows: On the night of December 2, 1969, about 500 people, most of whom were Mexican-Americans, gathered at Bowie High School on the south side of El Paso, Texas, to attend a meeting called at the request of the Board of Commissioners of the El Paso Housing Authority. Mayor Peter de Wetter and members of the city ¢Qun¢11 were ,1:5§esent theat meeting.During theproceeding5, Hr.Cesar_ __T_g!g§,_Union Leaderof the National FarmWorkers Association, rom California, made an appearance and was granted per- mission to speak by Nayor de Wetter. The Mexican-American people became very emotional and gave Chavez a tremendous ovation. The above mentioned meeting was held for the purpose of giving the people of El Paso an opportunity to discuss Iith the members of the El-Paso Housing Authority the complaints they had to register against the Housing Authority. It had nothing to do with the efforts of Cesar Chavez to expand the grape boycott throughout the country. Chavez said only a few words and made no effort to propagandize his grape boycott, but the Hexican-American people present responded very favorably to Chavez.
The wife of Cesar Chavez made the comment in private that they could see the "Chicano movement" developing more . and more wherever they went throughout the United States. Activist Mexican-American groups seem to be drawn to Cesar Chavez, have attempted to ride on his coattails, and then become more outspoken.
An example of this occurred at the above mentioned meeting at Bowie High School when young Hexican Americans connected with the Hexican American Youth Association MAYA!,

a group of young Mexican-American activists on E1 Paso's south side, took over the podium and called for Cesar Chavez te speak te these gathered at the eeeting, even though the meeting had nothing to do with Chavez grape boycott. _ Chavez was asked about his position on the subject of violence, at which time he said that he was for non-violence in Vietnam or any other war, was against violence in the atreets or in any other shape or form. Chavez said that it takes a lot of discipline to follow his recommended course oi action= He said peeple have to he "militant" but they also have to he on the defensive because they should not ' hit hack with violence. Chavez said that all that they had were their lives, and that there was no reason for violence taking place between people.

Some saythis lettuce strike and boycott is a tight betweentwo unions. The tact is: the dispute betweenthe two unionshas beensettled tor months.A deiinjle statement oithat settlementcame stthe Octoberll, lliil, meeting between AIL-Gilt President George Ieany and Frank Fitssimrnons, acting Ptesitient et the interna- tional lrotherhood oi Teamsters. According to the October It, llili, L03 ltitiELIS Ttltis, "The Teamsters will stay in the ares they have been active in tor years, and the Farm Workers iinion wili stay-with the tield work- ers. the hamsters position now is not to sign any more contracts covering field workers, to give racisions et their contracts lo any grower who asks tor them, and to retrain irom any entorcement at tield-workar.con- tracts.
this struggle, then, like the grape strike and boycott which the term workers won with the help ot citizens across the nation,is against corporate growersand their powsrtul political and economicaliies. i_|_u__¢g you standin thismor_a_l,issue ttt_humetI his't -

There'sanother generation, many of whom are a generation of vipers, who think one had better be put on ice when he attains 70. I majored in Spanish at Univ. of Calif. I attended a CSO meeting in Stockton a year ago -- about 1000 Mexicans. Cesar was scheduledto speak. He never showed up, but many Mexicans came in shouting "I-luelga" we can mly strike Huelga! or boycott to further our cause. " stomp I have been reading your articles vs. years & admired your zeal in organizing Boys Clubs to try to bring up the youth here the way they should go. I fear when you leave the scene, there is no one left to carry the banner versus Communism and evil unless some of the men trained under you can stand up on their hind legs and maintain the honest reputation which only your FBI has. Yours is the only Govt. organization that is honest and can be trusted so please just burn up this letter after reading for the future FBI may be infil- trated with Cesar's pals.He has powerful friends, Hubert Humphrey, George Meany, "Scoop" Jackson, etc etc. These three phone Bob Morettie, speaker at Sacramento, to kill the State Farm Bill so Cesar could be only Farm Union. This, I heard, over radio some months ago. Lenin said that when the Capitalist nations started trading with them the Communists! that is when they will finance their own destruction so we've started! I just heard over radio they were figuring on putting you out on clover after next election. Well, here's to the man, you, Mr. Ihilver, who gave his entire life to 92 the betterment of his country in furthering freedom and justice. I am sure that all of us citizens who stand up for our country have a heartfelt appreciation of your life work. As for the dissenters, anyone who does anything vs. Evil and Communism makes enemies.

Longacre'a pllce. Does free speech depend upon the decisions of the picket captain's whinsies? Apparently it does, in this case at least. It is the activist principle of the late salt-adaitted social revolutionary Saul Alinsky of whoa Cesar Chavez is a disciple. It will not win adherentsto his cause. Chavez lay say he cannot be everywhere. Hell, sole of his top California lieutenants have been in this metropolitan area for a while and are teaching social picket action to his young organizers. Chavez is racing after far wider horizons at the aoaent. He was in London the other day. There he won the support of ailitant Jack Jones,chief of the powerful Transportand General Iorkers, the United Kingdom's biggest union--proportionately the free world's largest. Chavez wants the T and G to boycott Teanster-picked lettuce, grapes, and Gallo wines. Jones, Ingland slost influentiallabor leader,agreed. And was pleased when Chaser said that the boycott was succeeding so well in the 0.5. and Canada, that only Iestern Iurope = was left as a market for California grape growers. Prom London Chaves headed for the continent. lie itinerary calls for conferences with labor leaders especially in transport in Belgium, France, Iest Geraany and Italy. for starters. »-nonz-- Victor I1ele1- XLQS/74 _ "* _ tags 4 ._- llready the Stockhola City Council has rscolasnded to official national and local boards and councils concerned, until further notice, not to purchase grapes and lettuce fro! qrowers who have not signed contracts with the American taro workers union, UPI. this could hurt sales since Sweden is a heavy purchaser of these products. It could also create considerable counteraction by the Teanstera in the U.S. they could refuse to handle or transport inports into hserica, coming directly from Sweden or via Canada. This would innobilise importation oi Volvos, Saabs, and other products on which the Swedish workers depend for jobs and prosperity. There are reports of such counteraction planned to offset boycotts by foreign transport unions, the leaders of which idolise Chavez. His concept is daring. If successful he will have organised the iirlt al1~!urope, all-Scandinavian transport boycott of an American product. Undoubtedly this strategy will be followed by other labor chiefs in the iuture. There's no doubt of the world significance of Cesar Chavez's attack on the Tsaaaters. Iut let it not intringe on the rights of others to free speech. free aaaelhly and the privilege of honoring their own crusaders.

This time on the sidewalks of New York when slim, open shirted 49-Year-Old farm workers union chief Cesar Chavez turns svelte Fifth Avenue into self styled Camino de Justicia" Path to Justice!. s That will be May 10, one of the big street's busiest shopping days; Chavez, whose brother Richard has been his advance man, thus winds up "Farm'Norker Week" in this concrete jungle. There are vast implications in this mass move in the East. There's more to the Chevistas rolling into town than the fanfare, a premier movie showing, a big parade during which marchers will collect money from sponsors contributing "dollars per mile of march." There's more here than the battle for the nation's vegetable-basket I ' leadership betweenthe UnitedFarm Workers UFN-AFL-CID! i1 FT!I'< F,'§:.. / »' I - "~~'+- H i W __ _. mm .§§MAY 1.-1"/5 -1'19 1915rm .,_,-..----112* P I-' 5 I Victor Riel - 1- 4/14/15 x x x UFW-A._ .10!

Chavez is on his own "Camino" road!. True, the boycott of grape and lettuce growers now under contract !with the teamsters keeps rolling along. But Chavez's singling out the E. and J. Gallo Winery the country's Ilargest! is open defiance of most of the labor movement and the nation's labor laws. _ A boycott of Gallo wines has not been approved by the national AFL C1O leadership. It has not been condoned by labor leader George Meany. Gallo long ago signed with three AFL-C10 unions and the Teamsters. The company can legitimately claim to he all union. Yet Chavez has launched a national attack upon the winery. Chavez didn't show at the AFL CIO midwinter high command session in Hal Harbour, Fla. Chavez hasn'tbeen . in regular, if any communication with Meany or other national AFL=CIO loaders. They are no longer pouring '__. .' I- r Victor Riesei - 4/14/75 x x x pouring Page 3 money into the United Farm workers war chest. Therefore it seems to some that Chavez wants to score this one on his own. The labor chiefs can't repudiate him. That would appear to be "deserting the farm workers. That would appear to be rejecting a large ethnic minority. labor s strata - according to one -- source, simply is to refine that boycott weapon, hone it, cut down not only the Teamsters, the lettuce and grape growers but also any one company he wants to hit.
