In particular, the report takes aim at the UFW's tactics, arguing that boycotts hurt workers, and decrying the involvment of clergyman, while also suggesting a connection between Cesar Chavez and the Communist Party. Accompanied by 4 loose leaves featuring 8 photographs showing housing and other facilities provided by the growers for farm workers. Quarto: [16] p. with 4 loose leaves featuring 8 photographs. Bound with staples in the original printed white paper wrappers. Some light toning along the extremities; else very good or better.

Zustand: Fine. Handbill, 5-1/4 x 8-1/2 in., printed in orange. Leaflet urging a boycott in support of striking farm workers.

When Cesar Chavez again led his members in a strike against Gallo, large numbers of picketing farm workers were arrested and beaten. Two were murdered. This prompted Chavez to call off the strike and call for a nationwide boycott of Gallo.
