CENTRO SOCIAL OBRERO
CONTINUA THE STRUGGLE
LALUC1IA GOES ON
The Centro Social Obrero was esta-bushed
in 1962 to aid Raza workers
from the discrimination of language
and nationality but it was never a-ble
to achieve these goals. The on
ly way that the goals first set a-bout
could have been realized is if
the Centro was to be an independent
organization and continously defend
the rights of the workers
But, who sold the independence of
the Centro, and to whom? Abel Gon-zalês,
one of the early people of
the Centro (but not one of the foun-ders)
being president of the Centro-sold
his allegiance to Bud Johnson
(president?) of Local- 261 of the Con-struction
Workers. This meant that
within the union (Local 261) Abel
would be given certain powers for
which the purpose would be to main-tain
a voting bloc of Raza workers
to support the policys of Bud John-son
in Local 261. The power that .
Abel gained was jobs.

40 FAMILIES
EVICTED FROM
THIER HOMES
FARN WORKERS EVICTED BY POLICE IN
SALINAS , CALIFORNIA.
Forty tarmworker families were ev-icted
from their homes by the police
on Wednesday the 17th of May. Seven
brothers were arrested while trying
to protect the other members of the
families from the brutality of the
police. At this time the families are
camping in front of what used to be
their barrio, 'La Posada,' demanding
that their rights be recognized.
The majority of the workers belong
to the United Farm Workers Organizing
CommIttee, and have been the most mi-litant
not only in organizing for the
Union in the area of Salinas, but al-so
in combating the continuous at-tacks
of the ranchers against the corn-munities
of Brown workers.
The attack against the residents of
La Posada' began six months ago when
the Pic-Pac Company decided to sell
its property in Monterey County. The
company also sold "La Posada' which
was one of its 'labor camps,' and or-dared
the families to leave their
homes, where they had been living for
more than three years.
The workers tried all means possi
hie to oppose this new attack by the
ranchers, and obtain new houses for
their families. The federal, state,
and county governments which should
naturally try to serve all - show
their true capitalistic face in not
listening to the justice demanded by
the workers and perpetuating the or-ders
of racist millionaire ranchers.
What the workers want is simply the
right to have a home and the right of
a barrio to be respected in the com-muni
ty.
One week later the families received
the eviction notice. Those who
were not evicted asked for the little
money they had acquired from their
own work and formed a defense commit-tee
which took charge of forming a
picket line and bringing together 0th-er
workers and students for support.
When seeing that the families that
stayed in the countryside were not
going to be so easy to deal with, the
government (which is the ranchers and
other rich people) attempted, using
all possible means, to destroy the re-sistance
of the workers and ro intimi-date
and divide the workers. One of
their most brutal tactics was when
they offered that part of the families
move to a "labor camp" near Giiroy.
More than eighty immigrant families
waited in line for one week for the
area to open. (The families had to
wait in their cara, without any place
to cook, no bathrooms or hot water
for the babies.) The workers of "La
Posada" refused the offer immediately
because what the ranchers wanted was
to divide the workers of the Posada
and have them fight with the immi-grant
workers.
