Mr. J. Igar Hoover , Director

Ninth and Pennsylvania Avenues, N.H.,
Hashington 25, District of Columbia
Dear Mr. Hoover:
Hhen I was a teenager at East Saint Louis Senior High School
in East Saint Louis, Illinois between the years of l92 to
January 1945, I on myown with my own common sense reported
to the branch office of the F. B. I. at the East St. Louis,
Illinois U. S. Post Office building about the Nazi headquarters
there in the area at a hone on Natilie Street. I was later told
they moved to the Belleville area.
fore going, I assured
to overthrow their were not
government I mean our good old U.S.A.. I went and attended the
- function. It sas on s Sunday, There was no discussion of any kind
, k from anyone there, or sppeches made to overthrow the U.S. government., .men
Now , I want to report to you personally that Cesar Chavez and his _
so-called union want to overthrow our goverhment'through'revoutionsry
_changes. hast year I had to hear with my own ears from his c mmuniscronies yellin into t ' e road
, when we t e over, the
n Ha w e ours .
Please investigate this man and his organization, and stnp his overthrow
of our American Flag with our government.
I also want to know whether the Johiirch Society is a good organization
to join. Please answer. /05__ /5 7/2 3- _Z
Also lest week, one of my Imployees brought me a circular, which I tit]
try to fiece together again. After I read it and gave it back to him,
he tore it up in my presence. I read that farmers were "exploiting"
emyloyees and getting rich, Hhen the word exploit is usei, that means
communists at work! f ou desire to contact me. please telephone myhome at the number w If you have some bureau man contact me,
please tell him to c tac my home first before coming to see me. I'd
rather meet him in Indio at the office there. I have been tryin for
many weeks to contact the office, t wa unsuccessful. No one .nsweredthe phone in Indio. »_- 92 I H ..._...,

COMMITTEE, AMERICAN FEDERATION OF LABOR CONGRESS OF INDUSTRIAl
ORGANIZATIONS. The request advised that they wished to
hold the mass on the afternoon of September 7, 1969.
' The representative further advised that the
request had been forwarded to the United States Army,
who had turned down the request. He stated that the denial
was on the basis that in order to hold a religious ceremony
in Arlington National Cemetery, a family member of the
deceased must sponsor the ceremony and also agree to be U
' in attendance at the ceremony. He further stated there
was no indication on the application of any such sponsor-
ship. '

1969, for a period of three weeks the grave of JOHN F.

9 On December 3, 1969, £P Tl 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 at the meeting. During the proceeding5, Hr. Cesar___T_g!g§,_Union Leader of the National Farm Workers 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 HexicanAmericans
connected with the HexicanAmerican 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.

. ' * .92: xChavez of-work
By Whitney Young Jr. _
As I write this, Cesar Chavez is in a
California jail for contempt of court. He
refused to call off a nationwide boycott of
iceberg lettuce produced by growers who
don't recognize his union.
lts the great grape strike all over
again. Some years ago Chavez organized a
union tor the gploited tarrn workers in
the West. mostly M¬I.lCi.l1-Al'l'lBl"lCI'lS,'Fi|i-
pinos, and other minorities. After a long
and bitter struggle marked by Ch8V£Z"OWIi
saintly personality and the tremendous
support given him by people all overthe
country who refused to buy non-union
grapes. the growers nally gave in and
signed a union contract.
New the union, the United Farm Work-
ers Organizing Committee IAFL-C10!, is
trying to organize growers of iceberg let-
tuce.
This time the issue is more com-
plicated because some growers have
signed up with a rival union,
against the'wishes of many work-
ers. This makes it technically a
jurisdictional dispute, so a strike is
outlawed.
VIOLENCE has also reared its
head, with attacks on strikers and their
supporters. Beatings have been common.
Attorneys _for the workers__have been
threatened. Few arrests have been made
--and apparently the l law' and order"
supporters who cheer Chavez jailing on
contempt charges don't consider physical
lisatlltsacrime.
The UFWOC leeks better wages tor the
workers. but that isn't the only issue.
especially since the rival union also nego-
tiated salary increases. One demand is for
ranch "hiring halls so that people can apply
for ;work directiy, instead of being ii the
mercy of labor contractors, who pocket
some of the wages of the workers. The
unionalso wants growers -to provide toodand housing, now sold Eueahorbitant rates
to the farm workers. -' also wants to
restrict o isonous spra s., ?;?3?e¢li3é.dil:t°§$i?i.?tpzgr slas |ree workers and not__as vir-uglyI1 IS WHAT all unions have sought
and won for theirmembers, and there is
no reason forfarm ownersito consider
themselves and their workers a breed
IP-"1. and refuse "to unionize the way
other employers have done.
The grape growers have found that
their worst fears were not realised; that
the farm workers union led to higher
labor costs but also to a happier, more
stable, more productive work force.
' The UFWOCs insignia, a black eagle,
appears" on iceberg lettuce or the crates in
which it is packed. It is a way to tell that
the lettuce you buy was picked on farms
that have signed union contracLs with the
UFWOC.
'!' bye llte dab! mat . the
powerful men who control ranches
Ind the own lIy.1lI= boycott will contin-
ue until victory is won. The union certain.
ly has no intention of calling it off. and
the many millions of people who Support.
ed the grape boycott can be counted upon
to support this one, too. - .-u
Cl
But aside from its importance to the
unorganized, poverty-stricken farm work-
ers, Cesar Chavez movement has immense
importance for the whole labor movement.
THERE IS N0 question about labors
diminishing influence among the young
and the liberal. its top leaders have sup-
ported the war_ in Vietnam, some unions
still discriminate against black workers,
and many people believe that labor has
become part of the Establishment.
But the fervor roused by the farm
workers of California, the garbage work-
-ers of iviépiiii, and me hospitai workers
elsewhere shows that labor's real glory
days are still ahead. ' -
By organising the unorganized and by
bringing skills and higher wages for those
in our society who are most oppressed,
the labor movement can recapture the
crusading spirit that helped end i|1d|_|5[3]
exploitation in the past and helped to
bring a better life for the 92voi'ltirgImil-M r

Since lbil, Cesar Shaves has been creating th,_gr1i-___ _
ed Farm Workers ttrganising committee, art.-clo, to tiring American iarm workers out oi e century oi poverty
end paternalism. - _ _
Farm workers teed America and in return receive the lowest wage mm: e "en. |||||ily I||¢p|||.]' ii, mug
miseralria and haaardous working conditions 000% higher accident rate, poisoning tron: pesticides!, and aiiie expectancy ot as years-It years less than anyone else. ' _
ltailberaiely excluded trom the protection ot the tiaiional Labor leietions bot at Ills, term workers are
tor-cad to resort ta strike end boycott to ehlain the right lo teir wages and sate working conditions.
lost conglomerate growers retuse to talk with term workers about their rights. in September tl, tltll, e lai-
inas, Oeliiornla, court ordered term workers to stop strike activities. ilow the some court has ordered an end
to the lettuce boycott end the imprisonment ot Cesar Chavez, the director ot their union. conironted with
such unlust oeurt action, can anyone gouiit the existence oi a powieriiig erainst farm workers rights!
Some say this lettuce strike and boycott is a tight between two unions. The tact is: the dispute between the
two unions has been settled tor months. A deiinjle statement oi that settlement came st the October ll, 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 growers and their powsrtul political and economic aliies. i_|_u__¢g

Pentagon lettuce .
protest to
Richard Chavez, twice
resident of the UnitedR1111 Workers Organizing
Committee. AFL-C10, says
supporters of the nation-
wide UFW lettuce boycott
will continue to picket mili-
tary installations across the
country to discotuage the
Pentagon from buying non-
union-picked lettuce.
Chavez. brother oi UFW
head. Cesar Chevez, said in
an interview yesterday at
AFL-C10 headquarters in
the Railway Clerks Build-
ing the military is respon-
sible for the continuing
boycott.
We would probably
have Antle Bud Antle Inc-.
of Salinas, Cal., a majorlettuce %rower and primetarget o the boycott! onthe contracts now. ' he said.
"but the military bailed
them out."
CHAVEZ SAID since the
five-month mycott began.
the Pentagon has tripled its
direct lettuce ptuchases

F

..
most twice as much as they
should tor it." he said.
_ The UFW has tiled suit
lJ'l U. S. District Court inLos Angles against De-fense cretary Melvin
Laird.
The suit says there is a
"conspiracy" to increase thepurchases of Antle lettuce
y the Pentagon. It intsout that on Dec. igothe
Defense Subsistence Com-
mand bought 49,320 oundsof Antle lettuce at £5.54 a
crate in Les Angeles, when
the _marke_t quotation that
day ui the city for the high-
est quality wrapped lettuce
was $3.50 a crate.
CHA92"'EZ_ESTlMATl-ID thathis committee has picketed
between 20 and 30 major
military bases in the Unit-
ed States. Thus iar, he said,
the results of the protests
have been slim.
No military base pur-
chasing policies have been
changed but we have had
meetings with commanding
officers to discuss the is-
sult as with the grape boy-
sue," he said.
Chavez said the boycott
was "shaping up pretty
good . . - and I am confi-
dent we will have the same
result as with the grape
boycott." »
The 41-year-old union
leader spoke at the lunch-
eon yesterday of the Ohio

lumbus. He met with the

Dear Hr. Hoover:
As the
e l.1'1 oMr.Case1-Chvz. eertsevralwp g e e e n e eeks,
it will be necessary for us as ministers and laymen, to
make a decision with raga:-d to where we stand in the new
eiiozt to organize the I_I§gra.n.t-e m Florin; _
I believe Mr. Chevez is the leader in this new move to organize
in the state.
We, as a church, simply need some understanding of his
affiliations before we can make an objective appraisal oi his
efforts. Does he have commmistic connections? Is he in any
way out of step with the principles of our democracy or do
you have any information which we need to lcnou2
I shall appreciate any infomation you can give us within
the confines oi your ethical commitments.

,the agents supplied him with a.
;small radio device that enabled;
them to eavesdrop on his con-0
versations with the contact
iman when they discussed thei
assassination_ plot. That. he,}
said. enabled the agents to;
know that he was on the level.-
'l"he alleged assassination plot i
hit its final snag when the,

picked up and questioned by-
the Fresno police about thethe mines of Mr. Shears. the
tor then became suspicious and
called the payoff man, when
they visited the contact man.
i'Ihe two decided that there was
an informer in their midst and
that Mr. Shears was the sua-
,pect. he said.
Mr. Shears said that he was
successful in covering himsell
but that Mr. Vizzard and an
other agent. Bill Bertolant. 59-
came worried and decided tr

As you well know, Mr. Hoover, people forget what one did 25 years
ago. There's another 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
_ _-"-:-sf. _:- gr -. _ _,: "j ._.v, I W H 7 7 A u L _ _ . I ___ 92--Fr wuang - L _ .'that all of us citizens who stand up for our country have a heartfelt appreciation

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 adherents to 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 Transport and 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, Inglands lost influential labor 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

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.

DkywisNEW YORK -- That long-running war of the vines
wines - now stretching on an international front from
Germany and Scandanavia to San Francisco -- is about to
be whipped up again. This time on the sidewalks of New
York when slim, openshirted 49-Year-Old farm workers
union chief Cesar Chavez turns svelte Fifth Avenue into
selfstyled 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 '

Martin Luther King, Jr. attempted to build a national '
' r
black political movement.
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
largest! 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 AFLC1O 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 AFLCIO midwinter high
command session in Hal Harbour, Fla. Chavez hasn't been .
in regular, if any communication with Meany or other
national AFL=CIO loaders. They are no longer pouring

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.
And where does-this leave the rest of the labor
movement?" asks this source. "He's building a
university and clerical following which gives him
strength far beyond his jurisdiction and membership. To

picked by some 800,000 underage children. The actual
total work force involved comes to some 200,000 --
mostly adults.
This has reflected on all American citrus and
vegetable exports. Until recently Sweden used to take
some 80 per cent of the U.S. lettuce crop exports.
ieports from the Rmerican embassy in stockholm disclose
that the agricultural attache there and American
shippers - are considerably disturbed by what could
result in heavy losses to all American growers.
Now Chavez has set up shop in West Germany where
he has strong trade union support. The Federal Republic
buys large quantities of American farm products. And
0.5. shippers could get hurt there, too.
Teamsters officials talk of a counter-boycott of
"all Swedish products. Now they speak grimly of
counter-boycotting the heavy selling Volkswagen if
Germans boycott lettuce and grapes picked by their
members.

ultigate in ecclesiastical support I believe any labor
leader has won for his cause-
It marked the end of a long European journey and
the winning and welding of clerical support unprecedented
in the free world. It, therefore, becomes part of the
most significant developments to be recorded in the
annals of labor history. It blends the spiritual
support of the Catholics with that of Jewish, Methodist
and the Protestant organizations of clergyman and moves
them into the jurisdictional battle with the
International Brotherhood of Teamsters QIBT!.
The IBT now has virtually all but one or two of
the field workers contracts in the California lettuce
and vegetable valleys which feed America and much of
Europe.
In the clerical coalition now officially behind
Chavez, for example, is the Massachusetts Board of
Rabbis. _

To Chavez then, this is the moment to dispatch his

from 7 a.m. to late evening. They discussed his reports
on European labor and Catholic support. They planned

There is no doubt of the enormity of this coming

Auto Workers have been supplying Chavez with the
logistics needed by the tiny union. During 1973, the
AFLCIO taxed itself $1.5 million for the UFW. The
