...early days of la huelga, and the union gets $14,500 a month in grants from the A.F.L.-C.I.O. and Walter Reuther's United Automobile Workers. By insisting that all workers join his union, moreover, Chavez wants what amounts to a closed shop (which is illegal under the Taft-Hartley Act, but the act does not apply to agricultural workers). This means that, for now at least, Chavez's goal, however unpalatable, is a legal one.

They also want laws barring organizational picketing and harvesttime strikes. Not until 1947, twelve years after the NLRB was established, did the Taft-Hartley Act outlaw secondary boycotts and organizational picketing for industrial plants and products.

O., would give them the right to organize unions and bargain collectively under federal protection...
Mother Earth. Much the same reception greeted Union Oil President Fred Hartley when he traveled to Washington last week to appear before the Senate Public Works subcommittee on air and water pollution, Hartley, who is a blunt, short-tempered executive, had dismissed the tragedy as "'Mother Earth letting the oil come out" At the hearings, the Senators were already grumbling that the Interior Department had not bothered to send a representative. Hartley did not help his cause by saying; "I'm amazed at the publicity for the loss of a few birds '' Most heated were...
