Shuman Urges Nonviolence Over Grape Strike Violence
American Farm Bureau president Charles B J Shuman challenged Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers to prove commitment to non violence and to spare California vineyard areas from a return to violence. He cited Delano arson and vandalism patterns including Brune Disputo Co packing sheds and Elmo Vineyards causing damages over 100000 dollars as acts attributed to those supporting the boycott. Shuman warned that some actions may be tactics of desperation by those unable to win the boycott and urged an end to the violence.
