Though the other thirty growers in the Delano area will probably be easier to beat now that Schenley and DiGiorgio have fallen, they will have to be dealt with one by one. The process is painfully slow. Some of the strikers, with a year's experience now, have gotten quite good at organization, but they are getting tired. The town is tired of the Huelga, and the huelgistos are getting
