Reel 2: Segment 1 (silent + sound): Lunch conference. Men and women seated around round tables listen to a priest speaking from the side of the room. Afterwards, he is interviewed on the Delano farm workers strike. "Yes, as I think it's well known, for some 9 months, the National Farm Workers Association and the agricultural workers organizing committee have been working together in the closest of harmony and friendship, developing a labor union in Delano. After they had shaken the tree for 9 months, it looked to me like the Teamsters were going in there to pick up some fruit easily. They were simply poaching on another authentic union's territory. There's plenty of other areas in California for the Teamsters to start organizing. There's no need that I can see of for them to move in at Delano.

"I believe that after a long and difficult struggle, all of California farm labor will be organized into unions..." Segment 2 (silent + sound): Panel on stage in front of audience in conference room. Afterwards, man with mustache who is associated with the National Farm Workers Association is interviewed about Delano. "Well, the organizational drive in Delano now is directed primarily towards workers who are basically strike breaking in the DiGiorgio [?]. The farmers we had in the association before the strike began are still wholeheartedly with the association and the scabs are being brought from places like southern California, from Texas, and sometimes even from Mexico. We have to talk to them and explain to them what the situation is. They are not informed by the growers when they come of the strike situation, and they have to be explained, and they have to be made to trust that the work we're doing is not against them, but is for the benefit..."
