Miller: here that's agitating I'm going to bring him before 

 this group and make a charge against him. I am not 

 going to be dominated by any particular agitating 

 farmer nor any particular agitating laborer. If you 

 have any just cause, come to me and I'll call a meet- 

 ing, and I'll form a committee out of the farmers 

 themselves to come to me daily and report that every- 

 thing is going all right or if anybody isn't living 

 up to the wage, so that you help me to make it possi- 

 ble to get this crop off and smoothly. I'll do my 

 part, you're going to have to do yours. 



I will say this, they cooperated very well, and 

 the workers and the farmers all did cooperate wonder- 

 fully well with me. 



Baum: This committee was called the Diablo Valley Public 

 Relations Committee? 



Miller: That's right. 



Baum: I think that's the one you explained to LaFollette 

 was made of five big farmers and five small farmers 

 and five local people. 



Miller: Yes, they brought in five and I appointed mine. 



Baum: Who chose the five big farmers?
