00:00:03.700 - 00:01:10.559

Ok. Ok. What happened? Yeah. Well, it's in Spanish. Ok. Uh, he's, uh, what he's saying is that, uh, they were, uh, chopping weeds in, uh, uh, tomato fields in a dictionary at 12:30 p.m. When they saw a plane, he was spraying almost on top

00:01:10.620 - 00:01:55.919

of the people there. And the number of the plane was NN 7653 BBB. Oh, and he finished at 1:30 p.m. it was spraying as sort of a brownish powder. We contacted our foreman whose name Berta Torres, who is she? I asked him the name of the

00:01:56.660 - 00:02:55.589

farm and she was his name or last name was Mozagguch. I, that's a Japanese name. I don't know how to pronounce Japanese. My, now, that's all I have to say that I wrote a letter to the and also I'll tell you the

00:02:55.600 - 00:03:54.789

date exactly six of 69. I remember the letter and I, uh, I sent the case to the, uh, California rural legal assistance, Sacramento office because that's the closest Liga Rode Bueno. He said that,

00:03:54.800 - 00:04:11.419

uh, probably th those persons didn't started to act to start acting until about two or three weeks later because he they looked for one Sunday, he wasn't home and he stayed 22 more weeks, but they never, uh, look for him or ask for, you know, try

00:04:11.429 - 00:04:31.049

to, to see him or question him or anything. Did anybody in the crew get sick? Well, uh, I don't know, sir, because you know what I send you the letter. I'm talking to my family and I'm talking to people, you know, and, uh, I told her,

00:04:31.059 - 00:04:56.269

Diora her mama Iva Caera responsible. So, uh she told the foreman that if anybody got, got sick, you know, uh the responsibility would fall up then, you know, the employer who is responsible for that. But he didn't hear anybody complain. Were there any Children in the

00:04:56.279 - 00:05:40.989

field? And that one was that they were working about 45 to 50 persons, men and men in government. And uh, he says that he's got about three or four families that are still working over there that they can give testimony on the same Medina Medina AJ.

00:05:46.399 - 00:06:43.570

No. Oh my lungs. What is we las three judges? Well, how about uh missing someone? Well, my wife is uh ok, she first got poison when they were uh chopping cotton in, uh in Fresno. And that was the first time she ever got poisoned

00:06:43.579 - 00:06:56.500

and she got so sick or she got it so bad that now every time she works, you know, where there is spray like in this case, you know, like, uh when she was, they were sprayed with the pain. She got it, you know, she got it

00:06:56.510 - 00:07:15.380

again. It revived again. And now that, uh, she got, uh, started to pick tomatoes, she gets in and when she goes into the grapes she says it's worse. Yeah. And then she got worse than that. When she goes to the grape, she, she gets both the

00:07:15.390 - 00:07:38.429

skin rash and, or should I say infection because the way it is and, uh, the fingernail, they, they, they fall off, she just completely loses her fingernails. And that, I quote it, I see it. Oh, when did this, uh, experience in the Fresno t take place?

00:07:53.980 - 00:08:44.770

The contractor's name was Robert. That's what it was in 1961 that the, you, you said in, how long have you been doing farm work before that, that was the first week, that was the first year she'd ever started. That was the first week, first year she

00:08:44.780 - 00:09:11.580

started farm working. Uh, you weren't sprayed by an airplane at that time. It was there. She was freed by a plane in 1961. They didn't know anything about it. So, somebody, she was telling me about somebody that was irrigating were the ones that told him to

00:09:11.590 - 00:09:35.640

get out of there because it was poisonous but it was too late. I mean, she had already gotten, you know, gotten the voice in. Yeah. Was the spray, the plane was spraying and there was some Irrigators there at the same time and the Irrigators finally told

00:09:35.650 - 00:10:26.669

them to get, get out because the stuff the plane was spraying was poisonous. But you don't know what kind of poison it was in those days. They didn't know anything about anything. En de sal de se, uh, the plane, the plane was spraying and

00:10:26.679 - 00:10:41.469

the, the weed, the cotton got all wet from the spray and they, they got the spray all over their, their arms and probably on their chest a little bit. And, uh, after a while the Irrigator came and they told him, he told them to leave the

00:10:41.479 - 00:11:33.559

field because that stuff was poisonous. That the Irrigator took him out of that field and put him into a beanfield bean field and they started cleaning the beans in, in the afternoon when they were still working. She says that the sun was

00:11:33.570 - 00:11:59.950

pretty hot and so she could, she could feel, well, her arms felt very hot, you know, like they were burning, you know, um, maybe is that cholera chola? She said she looked, she looked at her arms and they were all red tra la la. She says

00:11:59.960 - 00:12:25.940

she went home, she took a bath, uh, made supper and they went to bed. I per condo per la la. Uh, she w she woke up during the night and she said she could feel her hands. She felt her hands were very heavy in her. She

00:12:25.960 - 00:13:03.409

felt her face was, she felt her face was very heavy. She felt her arms and her hands and they were all welts, they were swollen, blister, welts, blisters. She had a lot of those blisters and her legs also. Uh, did you have an upset stomach, uh,

00:13:03.419 - 00:14:02.729

headache or any anything else? Tento or the decal? No, she didn't, she didn't go to work the next day. And the Un de Tres, Coral Coral Polio. The UN, the city, you know what's Corales? You know what re in city de Rosa de Rosa. He also

00:14:02.739 - 00:14:39.849

took her to the Chinese doctor Japanese or something. And he gave her a pink medicine and some pink pills. She had a, the doctor gave her a set of injections who paid for all these uh updating he pain mea de Rosa. Yeah. Have you

00:14:39.859 - 00:15:14.590

ever heard of Workman's compensation? At that time? They didn't know anything about that. He says the only thing he knew was to work and pay the bills. Ydy El No de la la. He says he can, he can obtain the, the rancher's name and probably find

00:15:14.599 - 00:15:50.739

the field where he used to work. Well, that was so long ago. Yeah, that's well now uh when, when did the trouble start again after that, when I work every time she goes to work and in the orange is a little bit and tomatoes like that

00:15:50.750 - 00:16:40.169

are worse and lower and in the grapes, grapes, she tried working again in the cotton after and she says after a little while she started getting the blisters again and so she left and she's never met Meta. What else is? So it was definitely,

00:16:40.179 - 00:17:11.349

uh, affected the family's livelihood. The, he says that in Dixon, you know, when they were sprayed with ammonia or when ammonia was being sprayed near them, he got a bunch of, uh, blisters on his legs and stuff. And there was another

00:17:11.359 - 00:17:49.645

man, was that the case that we heard about a few minutes ago, we need to spread everywhere. This year, this year, I'm here. Now there were two, there were two springs in Dixon Avios. There was a tractor spraying ammonia behind them and the wind was blowing

00:17:49.824 - 00:18:06.140

from behind them. So the money was flying about and the one that you were referring to was the plane spring, aren't you? Yes. Ok. This is a different. Ok. And this is the one where he got his, his blizzards on his legs and the the other

00:18:06.150 - 00:18:46.719

man Vinson also got right. Well, sores, whatever he says, he went and told the rancher. Um you know, says what's what's going on? What's happening? Black people are working out here. You know, why is this tractor spraying behind us? The tractor driver. So it did some

00:18:46.729 - 00:19:04.060

good to complain. Yeah, I would, I I went to find out a little bit more about another uh grievance that Mr Zan wrote to me about which I I sent to the rural legal assistance, but I didn't have too many details. Um He said that they

00:19:04.069 - 00:19:31.979

were living in a camp owned by the public housing Authority County and that people would come through without getting permission. Is that correct? That's correct. I don't know why because Casa says those are government houses and uh lore we are part uh manager would, would come

00:19:32.000 - 00:20:08.250

in to, to the houses and open them at. Well, even if he says that three times a week, 11 week, three times in that same week that his, his uh door was unlocked when he came home. She says that once when they came from work, they

00:20:08.260 - 00:20:38.520

came home from work, there was about three or four kids playing in their house, they locked their door, they, they locked their house every time they went to work in the morning, five kids in the house. No D DS PP ME Casas in Permiso. He says

00:20:38.530 - 00:21:01.800

he's got the name of the, the manager, the camp manager because there was, there were various families who want to uh complain about, about his getting into their houses. But how can you be sure it was the manager if it happened when you were away in

00:21:01.939 - 00:21:50.979

the camps parameter. Casas que porque Queria com The Olympians, Casas El Primero de via de Barres casa as uh there was a, a general meeting they had one night and uh he asked the, the camp manager if he had the right to open

00:21:50.989 - 00:22:17.130

their houses or, you know, and the camp manager said he did and he s, he gave me, he gave a reason for it. He's, the camp manager said, uh, the manager said he did it because, uh, he wanted to check on, on the sanitary conditions of

00:22:17.140 - 00:22:33.689

the house. And he told him, he says, before you do that, I think you ought to sweep your own house and you ought to start with your house. And he says, because the garbage cans outside had no lids on them and the garbage hadn't been picked

00:22:33.699 - 00:23:39.770

up about 12 days for about 12 days. So it was, the flies were all over the place and porque Ninos, por que de AUA con com com prime piy A mo um, he says he was also, he also complained at that meeting about,

00:23:39.780 - 00:23:56.219

uh, the childcare center they have there that camp. He says the, you know, there's kids in the childcare center and the, the garbage cans had no lids and the, the cooks are just throwing out all the food. And since the garbage hadn't been picked up in

00:23:56.229 - 00:24:12.550

so many days there, there were all sorts of flies and the cans didn't have lids or anything and it was just a big mess. Uh, and he, at that time, he asked, uh, the camp manager for the name of the inspector who came around and inspected

00:24:12.560 - 00:24:52.280

the houses so he could talk to the inspector. Um, he says the camp manager didn't give him the name of the inspector and he doesn't know why. But, uh, he says that if there were a gover, a state inspector or some sort of a

00:24:52.290 - 00:25:26.619

government inspector, he says that that government inspector would have started with the camp manager's house, which was never looked at it just because that, that, that way, you know, the camp manager's house would be an example for the rest of them. And, you know, in Dia

00:25:27.949 - 00:25:58.520

de ni de Meno Porque la, um he says that the, the yards were sort of sunken so they could, uh you could irrigate them by flooding the, the yard and they would do this every so often. And there was, there was a lot of mud because

00:25:58.530 - 00:26:14.670

the grass is very sparse. And so there was a lot of mud created by this water and they, they, they didn't even give them a chance to uh put some planks or something so they could cross the mud. Uh So they, they were, they were always

00:26:14.680 - 00:26:38.359

tracking mud into the house and naturally the, the inspector would come in and open up the house so he could check the mud and everything and this went on and on. Let's talk some more about pesticides. Um, poncho, weren't you telling me that uh you've had

00:26:38.420 - 00:27:09.000

some being sprayed by? Thank you. Can you uh give some examples of that? So well, then it was, uh we were picking oranges by the mcquain area. And then the plane came in, I think they were, they were put in a fertilizer over there by. So

00:27:09.010 - 00:27:29.140

we already pick, then the plane, I think that he only maybe have one more load. He decided to put him before we were picking the oranges. But in that case, you know that it was fertilizer. Well, I was, I see how did you know that I

00:27:29.219 - 00:27:53.729

used to put them in on the tree but I'm not, I didn't see the label or anything and then, um, later on when I was 10 and 50. So I figure, uh, the popular area, uh, they came out spraying, think he's for everybody that maybe it

00:27:53.739 - 00:28:23.900

was because, uh, after he left we were, our eyes were for crying and the skin start getting, you know, kind of sore. So even the, the poor man, he didn't even know what was the score, you know, he only knew that the plane came in spray.

00:28:24.810 - 00:28:56.660

He didn't know how Jose, have you ever been sprayed in the field or because then, I mean, I, I worked in the lines, you know, ginger never been great. Well, one time, uh, I was playing that uh Spain close to us in, right. So there goes

00:28:56.670 - 00:29:50.000

one now they're going street in the sun. More thinkers that's to fight first. They prayed to. Are you gonna need them? I guess not unless, unless you had some other uh, uh experiences with pesticides. I'm gonna talk about this again. No. Uh, oh, she says, uh,

00:29:50.140 - 00:30:24.449

in the oranges, every time, every time she goes to, she starts picking oranges, there's a lot of eye irritation and, uh, her nose begins to run and she starts to sneeze a lot. So Brooks is a move that Brooks is the best doctor. You know. You

00:30:24.560 - 00:30:39.020

know, Bruce is giving us some medicine to, to help me to work. You know, that only the doctor over here because the old dog, he said, well, the wife is leaving home when living home, it's ok. But I need to help me because I need some

00:30:39.030 - 00:31:09.910

money. I need, I need to, to pay my bills right now and the Brook just give us some, you know, special message to, to help me to work on time. He's the only one who understand. Do you understand 545 to

00:31:10.000 - 00:31:40.260

see Brooke? She's gonna see him by her hands. I said, let me go vote. He says he's the only poor man's doctor around here since the others only cure our pockets. That's correct because you're not gonna see wings. You charge $10 for nothing. One time. My

00:31:40.270 - 00:31:53.930

little baby got 100 and three T and see the dog said, oh, baby, it's ok. And my husband what she said and my check and I got a 303 temporary. He charged me $10 for nothing. Don't want to say to the house because you know he

00:31:53.939 - 00:32:08.719

can give you charge and give you numbers, you know your best. It's ok, baby. I don't know why because you can see you can put them on nothing and don't win one time. I take the wife. He said your wife is ok. You send it to

00:32:08.729 - 00:32:29.020

the ground, not working. It's fine. I know I was covering the turtle. It a baby. Well, thank you for coming back. Do you have time? You need me? Ok, I'll help with them because I don't think it's correct. The plane is spread on the people that

00:32:29.030 - 00:32:42.180

work here. No, I don't think that's correct. There should be a law against that because they're an addiction that, you know, I'm talking for the pharmacy. You know that people who work here, the place is test, well, finish over here and that you're gonna cut two

00:32:42.189 - 00:32:57.180

minutes of your side and you want to spend two times. I don't think it's correct. You see me in the car, the spray long way. And then I don't know why I come from the people. The people said everything is tray. Some people, I don't know

00:32:57.189 - 00:33:28.010

why. Lots of people. Yeah. Oh, that's just the one. That's it. How do you, you fucking, did you reach that other pi he left home? I don't know where he, he went. Oh, let me tell you what happened. We were picking tomatoes, you know, and we

00:33:28.020 - 00:33:45.380

were driving home and there was this orange orchard and they were spraying it with paraffine. How do you know it was? Well, we went back later and we checked, uh, on the cartons, you know, they put up and it said para about 10 minutes af after,

00:33:45.390 - 00:34:04.060

or 55, yeah, about 10 minutes after we passed that place where they were spraying with paraffine. I just, it was diarrhea all over the place and for about four days after that, about three times a day it was diarrhea and now every time I'm passing it

00:34:04.069 - 00:34:25.050

around, uh, freshly sprayed, feel I get, I get the diarrhea again. Yeah, we are getting brain washed now that we know that it hurts, you know. Well, could you tell me about this, uh, fellow from Merced and what happened to him? Well, I don't know. I

00:34:25.060 - 00:34:40.850

hope he comes but what he told me, you know, because he said he was pretty upset. They were thinking about in the middle of this week, they were picking pictures that were exact. And, uh, all of a sudden he luckily that all of them, you know,

00:34:40.860 - 00:34:54.810

all of his family, they were going out out of the trees, you know, and dumping whatever they are put in the picture. And so when they were out, you know, he looked up and saw and heard the noise, he looked up and saw the plane. And

00:34:54.909 - 00:35:08.050

so when they, you know, probably when they open the hatchet or whatever they used to, to let the, whatever it was powder this time was just sp so he just, you know, called his family and they ran away from the problem into the car. He has

00:35:08.060 - 00:35:24.290

to explained it all to me because he was supposed to come and testify himself. And, uh, he got pretty upset, he got pretty mad because, you know, they, they didn't, he didn't like that and he didn't like, uh, oh, now, I think I'm not sure, but

00:35:24.300 - 00:35:37.870

I think he said that he quit for the rest of the day, but the rest of the people kept on working and he said it was a pity to see Children. I mean, minors all covered up with powder, you know, and, uh, probably by the time

00:35:37.879 - 00:35:53.139

they got, they got home, they were all completely covered up with powder because it has to be, they kept on war. And as I say, you know, I'm not, uh, very much because he said he was coming. I hope you don't know if these other people

00:35:53.149 - 00:36:10.750

got sick or not. Um, I told her, I think he mentioned something about people, music, but I'm not sure. But, uh, if you want that we could go to his house. I know where he lives. Did you, did you fill out a questionnaire yet? No, not

00:36:10.860 - 00:36:33.070

yet. No, it was, you know, I can do everything I want. I was popular. I was trying to get in contact with him and doing my housework, which I had to do every weekend and, uh, uh, catching up with, uh, seeing other sick people and taking

00:36:33.080 - 00:36:49.810

other, uh, taking people to get married and taking other cases of industrial accidents. And I do everything I can, you know, and I, that's, I lose my time like that, you know, I went to CL A and she, I went to, I took her to her

00:36:49.820 - 00:37:08.459

husband's employer, you know, because of it, uh something that happened to her husband and uh industrial accident that uh the insurance of the employer refused to cover him. And you know about that Mr Graz and there is no action is still done. He was, he got

00:37:08.469 - 00:37:24.770

too sick, you know, because of that. And I understand that the doctor said that he was all right, but he never was all right. Now. He, he underwent a liver surgery and uh he got so sick. He's at San Francisco University. And so I went with

00:37:24.780 - 00:37:55.879

her, you know, and then I took her back and then she, somebody was getting married and I had to call a bra and high to therapy. I get more of. So I, well, apparently, ok, 1219 court in Pixley. And she told me she's not a farm

00:37:55.909 - 00:38:13.479

worker, but she, she told me that uh, last week she was uh in her house because she's not a farm worker. And uh there is a corn field across the street just across the street and they spread it with the reek and, uh, I don't know

00:38:13.489 - 00:38:32.010

the corn, yeah, the cornfield tender point. And, uh, she, uh, she got this, you know, the spray got in through the corner and she got, uh, bronchitis and every time they spray, shes been living there she gets bronchitis and she said she came out with a

00:38:32.020 - 00:38:48.760

real, you know, horse voice and she said you should have seen me when I was a, so, you know, a few days ago, but I'm getting better. But oh lord, she said they prayed yesterday about 12 a little bit after 12 with the plane, the uh

00:38:48.770 - 00:39:02.439

grape vs on the other side of the, of the corn. And she says, I understand I've been here and I understand that they are not supposed to do that when the wind is blowing and today was after 12. So there is, you know, wind. She says,

00:39:02.540 - 00:39:18.459

I'm worried that I had to see the doctor again. And then she told me about the, her little girl that she's getting the same allergy or whatever you call it. She's getting bronchitis with, with spray and she says, I don't know where to contact. She want

00:39:18.469 - 00:39:35.179

to start to the second because she did it. And she started, you know, with a real, like when somebody's got a really bad throat trouble and coughing, you know, she had a cough from here, there's c from here and she get there. It's my understanding that

00:39:35.189 - 00:39:52.719

there are regulations which are supposed to prevent the plane spraying when the wind is above a certain velocity. But uh we know that regulations aren't always observed. And if in a case like that, in a case like that, if you had a complaint, I'm afraid that

00:39:52.729 - 00:40:11.600

the only place that you could file that complaint would be with the agricultural commissioner. And I, I need hardly say more. Of course, early Mart, at least in, in early Mart, in early Mart, you have the advantage or Pixley uh or Tipton or any of those

00:40:11.610 - 00:40:49.830

times you have the, the agricultural, he couldn't, he couldn't be any more completely a tool of the uh growers that Mr Morley and Kirk County is one of the things which I think we are probably going to recommend at the end

00:40:49.840 - 00:41:07.719

of this study is that the uh responsibility for such regulations be taken away from agriculture departments and given to public health departments where they belong. How about the Ojeda family? Remember when, when are we going to see the Ojeda family? The one that got the baby

00:41:07.729 - 00:41:28.270

sprayed, you know, that was in the car and got the baby. She got sprayed. We got a lot of places. I think the next time I come down maybe or maybe, or maybe the time, maybe the time after next I'm working up to this, I'm gonna

00:41:28.280 - 00:41:44.510

uh plan to spend a really long time down here, like, maybe a full week because that, that's all these things we should do that, you know, have the, the testimonies of the people, you know, the people. I mean, they don't care this little baby, you know,

00:41:44.520 - 00:41:59.389

she was just about over a year old and she was lying in, in a car and the parents were picking oranges, they had to do it and, and, and then all of a sudden it just, just, well, they didn't spray them. Exactly. You know, they spray

00:41:59.399 - 00:42:13.570

just across the road but that means with a tractor or whatever they use, turn around, you didn't get spray anyway to the baby. Well, she didn't get anything thanks to God. But anyway, they had to go home because the car was white or, you know, the

00:42:13.580 - 00:42:25.580

spray must have been liquid, uh, the way she explained it and then it started to get white, you know, when it dries it, get white and she, the baby was lying face down, which was lucky for her. But everything was ruined. I mean, they had to

00:42:25.590 - 00:42:39.300

throw away the lunch. And how about they suppose that another child would have come and said to the baby, why wouldn't have it? Was the lunch inside the car? Where do you put it? And they had to throw it away? No flames. What did they have

00:42:39.310 - 00:42:55.159

to throw it away? If it's, if it's a spray, nobody's gonna get, eat anything or it's a spray. So they had to go home. No. Yes. I asked that I was, you know, uh, the first, uh, of my experience, you know, and I've been educating myself

00:42:55.169 - 00:43:13.540

on this. I didn't get any training. So if that's probably, maybe they put the, what they call fight was, that's something to keep the, and, uh, how about the place where I hit this, this girl? They say they put so much spray but you haven't got

00:43:13.550 - 00:43:34.959

that yet and they put so much spray on the grapes that they had to respray it with water to weaken the spray and she's spilling off, her face is spilling up and that's integrates. And that happens about two weeks ago. That's from, uh, when was the

00:43:34.969 - 00:43:57.949

next k them there? Yes. Now, yes. Nowadays, probably before it was. No, I'm not in Tipton. That's where the, but anyway, she said she was, she was working in the grave and she didn't, she didn't want to give the name of the, you know, when she

00:43:57.959 - 00:44:20.850

was working, some people are kind of, um, conservative given the name of the lawyer where they had, you know, so they say it is here and she was peeling up, still peeling up. She was better. Uh, the stomach. Are you guys from Salo? Yeah, when I

00:44:20.969 - 00:44:41.639

look to go. Ok. But, uh, but, uh, well, um, to learn to teach, oh, I think it, I think it should be understood that, uh, you know, we gather all this information with the assurance that it's gonna be confidential. Um, I think that, uh, it would

00:44:41.649 - 00:44:57.169

probably be all right for you to say that, uh, uh, you know, you have evidence that people do get sprayed with planes while they're working in the fields, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. But, uh, I don't think you should identify individuals. No, we wouldn't do

00:44:57.179 - 00:45:18.610

that. I half day. And I also, uh I also would ask you not to identify this particular study. Yeah, until our report is written. Um, we don't get in trouble with the authorities because they could make it impossible for us to interview more. How soon would

00:45:18.620 - 00:45:33.959

your study be finished? I expect our interviewing will be finished in October and then I will have to do the analysis and write the final report. And I hope to be finished with that by about the first of next year. And then we are going to

00:45:33.969 - 00:45:53.129

start with bleed, uh with bleed blood. And then it's our hope and this is another reason why we don't want to step on my toes unnecessarily. Uh We wanna do a follow up study that's gonna involve blood tests, which is a much uh more scientific form

00:45:53.139 - 00:46:11.389

of proof that the hormons that people are being infected. Well, we're gonna study, not only, we hope to study, not only cholinesterase levels which will indicate the exposure to uh para and that whole family of pesticides but also residues of DDT. This is another factor of

00:46:11.399 - 00:46:33.139

pesticide and, which is much longer lasting in its effects. In fact, nobody knows what dut is doing for people now and we hope to get into that something. But I wonder if it's, you know, if it's, I read in the paper about something about 12 parts

00:46:33.149 - 00:46:55.830

of a million of salmon and they, what is just ban it or condemn it or whatever you call it. I don't know, I don't remember. I have the clippings, you know, capability. So that means that we can eat it. Right. You know, we've been finding in

00:46:55.840 - 00:47:08.929

our work that, uh, there are quite a few people going around doing this, you know, we are in this operation and we heard that, uh, there were some people from Berkeley who were going around doing the same thing as well. See if there's, you know, an

00:47:08.939 - 00:47:29.409

awful lot of activity going on and, you know, some of the information getting swapped around it, wouldn't you mean, uh, you, you've been attempting to interview a cross section of farm workers, we've been going around and just asking for people who've been injured. Well, that's a

00:47:29.419 - 00:47:45.729

little different than, that's not really a random sample. We're taking them as they come and, uh, we're interviewing them even if they haven't been, just to find out what the incidence rate is. That's another way in which this is gonna be, uh, a pioneering kind of

00:47:45.739 - 00:48:08.669

study because of that. It's one out of 100 people before 90 out of one are being effective. Thank you very much. Yeah, we have some other people we have to see tonight. Ok. Good luck on that. Good luck to you too. Oh, yeah. All right. Thank

00:48:08.679 - 00:48:51.340

you. We will be around the area for the next month or so. I guess still doing this in some cases on people are where they're building. In other cases, strikers have come and who have given their lives, you know, in the,

00:48:51.350 - 00:49:31.409

in the struggle. And so Monday morning, the office building is going to be dedicated to all of, you know, Sunday, very Sunday morning. And uh it may dedicated to the memory of Roy Ruther from A can. Um but I uh

00:49:32.320 - 00:50:27.540

la clinica, no, Norada and memoria de Que uh Peron, the name of the Finca Steven uh dear the man, right by lo mm in the Centro Ranchito Vato bra and, and node El Companero at a at Miami in the Yeah. And you know, uh the clinic

00:50:27.550 - 00:50:46.330

is named after our dear vice president who died at the beginning of the strike. Uh Roger Jones, the uh office building which will be dedicated on uh Sunday would be named after Roy Rooster and honoring him and also the, the best uh financial support that we

00:50:46.340 - 00:51:03.750

received from his union. The Filipino Retirement Center is they named after brother Ariani who is all of, you know, died of a heart attack while picketing at in front of the gate in uh Pli Mani. And tonight I have a proposition with the film which has

00:51:03.760 - 00:51:29.770

not been named, OK, we have, we had a very dedicated striker with uh a person that devoted all of its time from the time she learned what the strike was devoted her entire life in the fight. And I remember visiting her just a few days before

00:51:29.780 - 00:51:45.179

she passed away. And when she told me that she knew she was going to die very calmly. And she said that the only that the only regret she had was that she was not, she could not be alive to help us fight to the end. At

00:51:45.219 - 00:51:55.939

the very end. She said, as I believe it, she said, if I could only get, if I could only ask God to let me live just long enough so we can continue fighting until we, until we beat the, the glories in Delano. I would be very

00:51:55.949 - 00:52:33.139

satisfied. Uh 0 61 to, to, to moo in Una Seo Candace, la Lucia and the Lenon Lain Tique. Uh and, and El Bo poo and the que era Signa Trabajaba, the Cuero Canon Los Angeles. Yeah. But, but Santa Erma, you don't take a

Hava I pra and, and Cuando. No, in Amasa Zapata Miles proposal then is to name the co op building in, in uh memory then of Tomasa Sabata Mireles. Yes and make make a motion. Brother Valde moved that the building be named

00:53:47.350 - 00:54:16.320

00:55:18.459 - 00:55:34.199

it's all right with you, then we can alter the program on Sunday a little bit. We could start here in the morning and have the, the dedication here of this building and then from here uh go in a procession to the large building and finish the

00:55:34.209 - 00:55:51.620

ceremony for that building over there. Would that be all right with you? Uh A 9049, but the people have been invited to be here tonight. So we'll wait for a few nights now. Uh This reminds me we're going to have to keep the cars out of

00:55:51.629 - 00:56:15.199

the 40 acres because of the uh we're expecting a lot of people. And also, uh we don't have any real parking facilities inside the property, so we're going to do it. We borrowed about 40 acres down here at the end of the, of his buildings that

00:56:15.209 - 00:56:27.169

we can use and we can have the cars parked over there, we can walk here and then, uh, uh, keep the cars out of the 40 acres which give us more room to walk in. And also we don't have to be worried about the parking, the

00:56:27.429 - 00:57:13.800

oas in a Mio bas and para cars. A S PPP. Is it all right with you? We do that. Ok. This would be a nice feature for a restaurant that was good. Uh We have a family who's been with us for uh about a week

00:57:13.810 - 00:57:26.659

and maybe longer, but who's really been working very hard. They're from Sacramento, they're on their way back from a vacation in Mexico. I understand. And they have been, I, I've seen them uh the last few days here in the 40 acres and they don't stop a

00:57:26.669 - 00:57:53.010

minute. Uh Both the uh uh um Mr and Mrs Ortiz and their Children have been uh doing a lot of work and we want to acknowledge their work and to thank them here at this meeting for your contribution. Will please stand up, Miss Miss Ortiz, they're

00:57:53.020 - 00:58:31.709

from Sacramento, Sacramento, Maio in Sacramento. They've been faced with the orders of the boycott, the picket lines and so forth in uh Sacramento, which is r now what we need in the service station. Some light. Yeah, I want to talk a little bit about the gap.

00:58:32.600 - 00:58:53.260

That's it. I know it's very confusing this uh in this day and age of uh Maple la poquito. El Gas. Que, the tita is more important. The CMO soo, you know, it's very difficult for most of us to understand the, the labeling of gas. We know

00:58:53.270 - 00:59:15.479

very little about it, but we know a few things now it's important because we don't have a, a big name guest in a service station. It's independent. We don't, it won't be tactical. Um, if we bought the gas from t we had to pay something like

00:59:15.489 - 00:59:40.510

32 cents a gallon. And we had several restrictions. If we buy the gas independently, we can get it for about 26 cents a gallon. Now, some people may wonder that if it's not the Shell or Texaco or uh union 76 or such other brand names. So

00:59:40.520 - 01:00:05.479

maybe the guess isn't as good. Mhm. We know this, that the game is rated by, uh, by acting. And so what we did here was to get the premium is at least 100 octane. It's what they call 100 plus octane, which is just as powerful as

01:00:05.489 - 01:00:29.610

any guys you get over there in, in any station. And then the regular is 93 uh, octane which is average. It's about the same in all of the large companies. The gas comes out of Bakersfield. Now, see, we know that a lot of stations buy gas

01:00:30.330 - 01:00:46.760

at the same refinement. We're buying independent gas, they buy it, but they take it to shell and they take it to Texaco and they take it to Union 76 and the standard and all these other places. And so there's going to be confusion until we learn

01:00:47.469 - 01:01:02.830

the marketing process to get, until we learn that if we, if we want Texaco, we're not getting better, guess we're getting a better, we're paying for the brand name only and it's going to be up to all of us to educate ourselves and educate all of

01:01:02.840 - 01:01:50.729

our uh members and friends. So they won't uh think that this gas is, is inferior. Yeah. M Persona se Conan Porque El GGTM tender Michel N uh G IP P Una Marca lo Elgas Rego. But uh el Pue del Cast A midi and Taina el G

01:01:51.379 - 01:02:41.340

DC Y uh yes. So uh gues el el vaso Pero el premium, the, the pretty far premium or sexes 4000 gallon. Those old guys can learn from thee again. I'm not that young nos Salia. The decision that was Correa says de

01:02:41.459 - 01:03:41.139

que podemos. Uh Dalo the Cuento. Basically the co comp pu operas, you know, get InVision Pero. No Pole. Well, no, it's the guess it's not Shell or Standard or Union or any of the big names, but it is the best guess in the

01:03:41.149 - 01:04:20.719

world because it's even better in all of those guesses because it's welcome. Guess that's what it's called. It's a real guess. Well, yeah, open eye. Did you? I let me see up. I have a few reports and then we, we can, uh, ok, do anything on

01:04:20.729 - 01:05:56.969

the morning. Is Larry, is Larry Young back? Oh, is Larry here? I, is Larry around. He has to come back, huh? Ok. I don't and BMO, uh, Lee Roy, I can report and, um, and with, uh, I,

01:06:34.270 - 01:07:58.350

I know the strikers or no, no, no. And they said no, no, it's so, you know, with, and then Dari, oh, oh, that and Jose and Jose Tina Rodriguez went to the people school and uh huh you said, yeah, you don't know you

01:07:58.780 - 01:08:15.729

that. No. Oh what the heck g I went in to see for the school to try to really put some heat on the guys that were there to try to get some free lunch for the school strikers. And at first, the guy who was there said

01:08:15.739 - 01:08:34.990

that the strikers should pay that. They paid that they bought lunch tickets last year and that they should have to do it this year. But hard and that the guy began to weaken. Dolores's daughter began to cry and you know, it caused a very big emotion

01:08:35.000 - 01:08:58.119

in there. So Dolores took her child out and then returned for a full scale attack. He was so upset. The guy at the school, he tried to use all kinds of pre he said he guided 11 striker family so they shouldn't. Thank you back and said,

01:08:58.128 - 01:09:09.769

well, were, wasn't he ever young? And he said, well, he was from a different generation. So there were about 20 families there and they were all making the applications and really putting the heat on him and there was so much pressure that they finally got in

01:09:09.849 - 01:09:23.330

and now all the well will be able to be participating in the pre lunch program so that you should get those rights because they're, they're ours now at 1 p.m. they went to see Mr Daniels at the high school at the high school. And although he

01:09:23.339 - 01:09:37.999

was even more uppity with the pressure that they got him, we got the free lunch lunch program also in the high school. So that although they said that, that the, that the, the Lourdes Padilla and Mrs Rodriguez were old, um rumor mongers, uh they got the

01:09:38.008 - 01:10:04.819

free lunch program and we're all entitled to those benefits. The, uh the Delano record, I'm sure this next is going to have it headlines charging the unions charging that the government now is subsidizing the union that a record in the que uh Carlos de de la

01:10:04.830 - 01:10:33.729

la a la Huelga. And speaking about newspapers. In this case, a good newspaper, El Macri has to discover Trato de uh brother uh Walter roster. Picture of his visit to us in December of 1965 and Armando Ino Bueno and Moo and Mao Western Mississippi, West western

01:10:33.790 - 01:11:03.680

Mississippi, the biggest little newspaper in uh, in Delano, uh T de Grato de Companero, Walter RTA is Soa Kia Cono Toro and the Tre Musics and San uh Doug. Are you around? Yeah. Do you want to say anything in, in uh your behalf about the uh

01:11:03.779 - 01:11:57.040

Gras Compliment Del Mare? Ok. Uh I didn't report the court on it. We got that and the Baltimore L A MP. I OK. That or not. I uh in Baltimore one thing happened. A MP, put the grapes back on in Baltimore but they put so

01:11:57.049 - 01:12:19.810

much heat on a MP right after they put them on that within one day. A MP took all the grapes back off again. Thank you so much. Pleasure. Telegram and the others. He was saying, oh, we're awfully sorry. It was a big mistake. We really didn't

01:12:19.819 - 01:13:06.549

know it was an error. So that is one very good thing San Francisco de Mer in San Francisco Trabajo equipo de la de. Now that I think the report is that as many of, you know, the ticket line went up

01:13:06.560 - 01:13:20.259

to San Francisco to help on the boycott and they did a really fantastic job. They cleaned the grapes out of 400 independent stores. That's really the base for stopping the grapes in all of San Francisco. And I, and I said it so I thought we should

01:13:20.270 - 01:13:52.430

all give them a great in hand because they did a beautiful job while they were there. Get, how long have you been on? I have a very good report in the boycott. Uh, those of you who are interested in the boycott can, uh, ah, take heart

01:13:52.439 - 01:14:19.910

for the, for the next report. Uh, we are and the, the figure that the statistics that there are now in Delano, uh, little over 3 million, uh, boxes of grape in cold storage. It's half a million, roughly more than they ever had in, in cold storage

01:14:19.919 - 01:14:34.350

in the history of the, uh, the industry, which was last year because of the boycott. But you remember last year, the boycott didn't really take effect on the Delano Ros until around in the beginning in the middle of, of November. So we're at least a month

01:14:34.359 - 01:15:00.029

and a half ahead of last year. And the, the number is uh a half a million boxes more. Also the girls ship 60% less grapes last week. Then they did uh the same for the same period last year. So I it's very clear that the, that

01:15:00.040 - 01:15:23.879

the boycott is uh it's gaining momentum after going downhill for a while, which has been the, the up and down game we've been playing and we could tell by test this thing to the, to pa ma de Tres de Cajas and in Alma Jaime me on

Carga Delicto Asuntos Tes Con you right now is quite old. Uh The first question I'd like to have answered about the uh fiesta on Sunday is did anyone hear the announcement on the radio today? About the Fiesta? Did anyone hear the announcement on the radio? The

01:17:11.029 - 01:17:39.879

reason why I ask is the reason why I ask is because, ok, Jim Drake told me today that, that he expected about 2000 auto workers from California for the Fiesta on Sunday. Now that means that we're going to have to really invite all of our friends

01:17:40.290 - 01:18:31.509

and all our members, all farm workers in the area so that we can have a good crowd for the Fiesta de. Now, the person in charge of the barbecue in charge of the food and the serving is Rudy Amata. So I'm gonna ask Rudy to

01:18:31.520 - 01:19:36.240

give a short report about what's going to happen about the food and where and what time? Ok. La la Comida Paara Dose Domingo and the memorial park. La la la do or do Queremos que, right. That was uh we're gonna start serving from at 12 o'clock

01:19:36.250 - 01:19:51.000

on Sunday and we're gonna serve from 12 to 1230 to 230. So the people that are serving can enjoy the music of the var and having that entertainment afterwards. And therefore, we're asking that, uh, as soon as the dedication is over, please go to the park

01:19:51.009 - 01:20:03.379

as soon as you can and get served. And, uh, so that, you know, the people can, uh, the ones that are serving can enjoy the, the afternoon too and we need a lot of help with the serving. Therefore, I'm asking anybody that wants to help the

01:20:03.390 - 01:20:27.419

two or three or, or 3.5 hours, please meet me under this lamp posts that most of you are. The light is right after the meeting. Now, Pete Pete Velasco is in charge of the refreshments and also in charge of the raffle. So I'd like to have

01:21:13.640 - 01:21:37.450

is money. It's your chance. I give you a chance to prove it between now and Sunday that you can help me make that claim an honor on behalf of all the farmworkers which I am given in charge. So I gave provision for their subsistence. That's why

01:21:37.459 - 01:22:00.819

I asked for your help. There will be a raffle and it costs $1 a ticket. You will have 11 chances to win with $1 that means nine cents. At least it, it, it, you know, we have a picture of our, uh rabbit director among Will Vas

01:22:01.850 - 01:22:28.609

as number one, the picture of Robert Kennedy. Number two, and equally important is a Wega flag, which is the first flag that was used by the Wega people when the two unions merged. So it is very significant flag boy, but we will be very honored. And

01:22:28.620 - 01:23:00.649

number 42 statues and number 5, 300 dog depicting the life of We Gas and et cetera. Now those of you, you want to help me, I urge you to help me sell tickets, will come and see me tomorrow after work or tonight. I will be in

the office tonight. At least if everyone can sell five tickets or sell tickets to the most. I know that we're gonna make money to pay for the expenses for this fiesta. And at the same time, we will have profit. And one other interesting report is that

on, come on the, the, that's blood and whoa Teresa. I, yeah, Father Day is in charge of the, the dedication and the blessing of the, the two new buildings. So I call upon Father Day to explain about the ceremony. Ma Ma

01:28:02.270 - 01:28:16.680

uh we're going to have a very beautiful mass here Sunday morning. And uh I think it will be very good too because uh besides the people that we will have, we will have a Mariachi to play the songs. And this is called a Misa Panamericana. And

01:28:16.689 - 01:29:01.180

it comes from Cuernavaca Mexico where the Mariachis have perfected a beautiful mass there with different corridos rhythms and, and uh h and it sounds very beautiful. So I hope you can make it. And uh then, then

01:29:01.189 - 01:29:15.959

after the uh after the mass, we'll have, we'll dedicate the building in honor of Roy Reuther. And uh we will also uh uh pass out bread as, as you remember when uh when Robert F, Kennedy came here, that was the highlight of uh of the mass.

01:29:15.970 - 01:29:29.415

We had, we, we, we broke we passed it around to all the people that were there. And I think it gave us all a feeling of solidarity and a feeling that this was really what our movement is all about that we're not only concerned about our

01:29:29.424 - 01:29:52.859

immediate people here, but to bring justice to all the poor and the oppressed. And Jim Drake is in charge of inviting the special guests. And so I'd like to call upon Jim to give a short report about who's coming and what kinds of speeches or what

01:29:52.870 - 01:30:14.740

kinds of uh activities that we can expect from the special guests. We're gonna try to keep it down to a limit. But uh there's always uh a difficult problem of, of keeping the, the number of speakers uh short. But we know of course that uh Walter

01:47:18.350 - 01:47:32.620

that in Rio Grande City, I think it was about three years ago. Uh, one night, uh, about 20 of us were going around and around the jailhouse. Uh, we ended up getting on the, the courthouse steps of the, uh, the jailhouse and we all got down

01:47:32.629 - 01:47:48.759

and started praying and the big fat sheriff came out and said that it's illegal to pray on the courthouse steps. And, uh, so Gilbert Padilla was on one side and he says, he says, pray for the sheriff. So I started praying for the sheriff and, and

01:47:48.770 - 01:48:09.399

then, uh Medrano says, uh, it's not his fault. He says, I'm from Texas. Arrest me. You see, and so Pancho tries to get arrested, but the sheriff knows that I'm from Tono. So he arrested me and he left Pancho but he was there and stuff like

01:48:09.410 - 01:49:29.229

that and kind of ok. You in, they say this is a Gree uh uh de de de la la la Corte de la Corte, IA a uh leg in A I A
