January to March, 1948, 1948

The Di Giorgio strike continues to be the topic of greatest importance in the papers through the end of March. The reader may best follow the sequence of strike events through the numerous strike bulletins, issued approximately every ten days, and through the correspondence of NFLU California organizer Jim Wrightson. During the last week of January and the first week of February, several sizable contributions to the strike relief fund arrived from AF of L unions; a complete list of donors appears on February 6.
