Farm Organizers Held for “Disorder” LOS ANGELES.—Over 100 agricul- tural workers from Hicks Camp pack- ed the courtroom in El Montt when the six organizers of the Agricultural Workers Industrial Union were brought to trial on charges of “vag- rancy”, As a maneuver to further frame these militant workers, District At- torney Avery of Los Angeles moved | that the vagrancy charges be dismis- sed and that the workers be re- arrested on charges of “disturbing the peace” and “disorderly conduct.” The workers still held are Mary Ed- wards, Cyril Moore, James Brown and George Valentiono.

Most of those in the union are| | Mexican, Spanish, Portuguese, Jap- | anese or Filipino workers. With ac- | tive support from the San Francisco district of the International Labor Defense, a powerful mass protest has been Inunched against these efforts to disrupt the union through depor- tation drives. |\San Diego Workers | Protest Assault On | ‘Youth Demonstration SAN DIEGO, Calif—aA protest meeting was held here recently to} protest the brutal treatment given; workers arrested in the National} Youth Day demonstrations. | |_ The trial of four workers, Percy Riley, Sam Klopperman, Joe Klop- perman and William Geer, Holly- | wood actor, who are charged with | inciting to riot and resisting an offi- cer, was set for today.
