Crowers have charged that theARLB
is biased for Chavez's union and have
sought legislative help designed to
weaken the state ARLB labor act.
. Crower spokesman also
charged the UFW with engaging in
violence and intimidation in the strike.
At the U.S. Senate hearing last week
Chavez said that despite 40 years of
effort, farm workers had still not made
significant progress in improving labor
relations. He also accused local institu¬
tions, especially law enforcement agen¬
cies, of being pro-grower in the recently
struck areas of the state.
The nationwide lettuce boycott
if successful, would be the second major
lettuce boycott conducted by the UFW
The UFW's last boycott of lettuce ran
from 1970 to Jan. 1978.
The union earlier staged grape boy¬
cotts in 1965-70 and 1973-78 In the

OROSI UPI - Two non-striking
lettuce workers suffered minor injuries
Monday in a rock-throwing incident in¬
volving united Farm Workers Union stri¬
kers and supporters. Tulare County she¬
riff s deputies said lettuce strike suppor¬
ters pelted a bus loaded with non-strik¬
ing workers as it was transporting them
Lucina Hernandez, 24, and Efreen
Hernandez, 26, suffered minor cuts
caused by flying glass. Both were treat¬
ed at the scene and then went to work in
the lettuce fields with the others on the
Sheriff's deputies said the strike
supporters fled the scene in a group and
no arrests were made.
SALINASUPI - The lawyer for United
Farm Workers leader Cesar Chavez
appealed to a US. senator to prevail on
the Justice Department to investigate
the strike-related death of a farm worker
"" > lettuce field picket line last Febru-
Jerry Cohen appeared with Chavez
before Sen Harrison Williams, D-N.J.,
sitting as a Congressional committee of
one to review the "turbulence of the last
few months' in the three-month-old
UFW strike against lettuce growers
Cohen, referring to the death of Ru-
fino Contreras, 27, as he picketed for the
UFW in Imperial County last Feb. 10,
said 'authorities know who did the
shooting but not which gun the bullet
left.' Relatives of the slain man describ¬
ed to Williams how Contreras was shot
and Cohen added:
'The dead man was shot at by three
people. We were told to wait for the pro¬
cess of the law to work We weren't
asking for a verdict. We just wanted a
trial ' The lawyer said charges wer-
filed against three men but were di
nissed e
r this week.  He said he
doubted the charges would be refiled
and that a civil rights violation inves¬
tigation was warranted by authorities
Chavez told Willams that sheriff
departments throughout the state are
'private armies for the growers'  and
that the dropping of charges against the
original suspects in the Contreras mur¬
der "encourages other murders.'
FRESNO UPI - The U.S. Border Patrol
has increased its patrols in west Fresno
County in an effort to apprehend undoc¬
umented workers harvesting lettuce dur¬
ing the current strike.
Charles Hunter, agent in charge of
the Border Patrol office in Fresno, said
the current drive had led to the arrest
of 250 undocumented workers in three
US Border Patrol Chief Donald B
Day announced Thursday that 25 more
agents would be added to the patrol ac¬
tion which covers Fresno County.
The increased efforts come on the
heels of complaints by United Farm
Workers Union President Cesar Chavez,
who charged that the immigration
service was prolonging the strike by re¬
fusing to crack down on the illegal
aliens hired as strikebreakers.

EUSEVK3 ARIAS
A Chicano, whose ultimate and mod¬
est goal is to win the Pulitzer Prize, took
his qualifications to the public April 20.
Eusevio Arias of Fresno, exhibited his
photographs recently at the Sara Mc-
Cardle Room in the Downtown Library.
Arias, a photographer at the Oovt*
Independent and Trfcune. has been in¬
terested in phc<ographv since 1970.
Arias said he had to find some avenue
for his creativity because he comes from
a family of artists He said, "I am the
only one who can't draw out of a family
of seven." Hence the photography
His photos depict a wealth of subjects,
from neglected tombstones in Mariposa
County, Ca. to children playing along¬
side Fresno railroad tracks or asleep
against a comforting parent. The often
spontaneous mood of his photos is an
indication of Arias' relationship with his
camera. More than just a tool of his
trade, it's a bodily appendage He said,
"I feel wierd without it.'
He prefers working with black and
white film rather than color, because
it forces him to be more creative. The
several tones available with color film
makes it easier to shoot good photos
he said, but a photographer must work
harder to shoot good black and white
