Salt of the Earth Page #7

Synopsis: Based on an actual strike against the Empire Zinc Mine in New Mexico, the film deals with the prejudice against the Mexican-American workers, who struck to attain wage parity with Anglo workers in other mines and to be treated with dignity by the bosses. In the end, the greatest victory for the workers and their families is the realization that prejudice and poor treatment are conditions that are not always imposed by outside forces.

00:
48: 27,480 - 00: 48: 28.351

Do not scoff.

00:
48: 29.511 - 00: 48: 31.019

We have a

solution and you do not.

00:
48: 32.559 - 00: 48: 34.730

Quintero is right

saying that lose ..

00:
48: 35.528 - 00: 48: 37.907

... the achievements of 50 years

fight if the strike fails.

00:
48: 38.622 - 00: 48: 40.347

also lose

women and children.

00:
48: 41.208 - 00: 48: 42.029

So we promise ...

00:
48: 43.328 - 00: 48: 45.446

... relieve you on the picket ...

00:
48: 46.603 - 00: 48: 47,981

... to strike

not fail ...

00:
48: 48.637 - 00: 48: 50.153

... and scabs

I do not take the job.

00:
48: 59.782 - 00: 49: 03.001

Only union members

may submit proposals.

00:
49: 03.227 - 00: 49: 05.120

- I present.

- The seconded.

00:
49: 05.958 - 00: 49: 06.738

You heard the proposal.

00:
49: 07.359 - 00: 49: 09.275

Start the discussion

00:
49: 29.742 - 00: 49: 32.051

Light asked whether they preferred

hide behind their wives ...

00:
49: 33.089 - 00: 49: 34,576

... or humble themselves before

employers.

00:
49: 41.106 - 00: 49: 43.433

Comrades, we ignore

our women.

00:
49: 44.517 - 00: 49: 46.092

Employers or

even think about them.

00:
49: 47.086 - 00: 49: 48.077

They will show employers what now ...

00:
49: 49.487 - 00: 49: 51.066

... why there is no unity among men ...

00:
49: 52,412 - 00: 49: 54.086

... their wives

and her companions?

00:
50: 01.100 - 00: 50: 03.522

Carlota Sanchez said

the pickets ...

00:
50: 03.988 - 00: 50: 05.667

... were unfit

the ladies.

00:
50: 06.066 - 00: 50: 08.634

It was not right.

Perhaps even it were sin.

00:
50: 09.118 - 00: 50: 10,494

Give an opportunity to the women.

00:
50: 12,043 - 00: 50: 13,253

What do

when police ...

00:
50: 14,865 - 00: 50: 16,158

... hit our women?

00:
50: 16,724 - 00: 50: 18.554

We will not stay

idly.

00:
50: 19.209 - 00: 50: 23.267

We will have to intervene

and back to the top

00:
50: 24.217 - 00: 50: 26.399

Or worse,

more humiliated.

00:
50: 27.444 - 00: 50: 28.134

Companions.

00:
50: 28.696 - 00: 50: 31.577

I beg you,

You do not permitis.

00:
50: 34.378 - 00: 50: 35.050

Let's vote.

00:
50: 37.703 - 00: 50: 38.715

Discussed the issue.

00:
50: 39.519 - 00: 50: 40.856

we all know

we voted:

00:
50: 42,042 - 00: 50: 44.721

The female section

will be responsible for the pickets

00:
50: 45.507 - 00: 50: 47.675

Raise your hand if

they favor.

00:
50: 48.288 - 00: 50: 49.760

President, I appeal to

regulation.

00:
50: 56.860 - 00: 51: 02.180

I do not understand

these discussions ...

00:
51: 04.530 - 00: 51: 07.307

... but the men

you go to vote ...

00:
51: 07.991 - 00: 51: 09.924

... what to do

or not women.

00:
51: 11.626 - 00: 51: 12,896

I think it would be fair ...

00:
51: 14,084 - 00: 51: 15.394

... that we allowed to vote.

00:
51: 18,632 - 00: 51: 21.009

Especially if we

to do the job.

00:
51: 34.963 - 00: 51: 37.728

Comrades,

would go against all rules ...

00:
51: 38.496 - 00: 51: 40,870

... allow women

vote in a union meeting.

00:
51: 47.623 - 00: 51: 48.361

If no objections ...

00:
51: 50.182 - 00: 51: 51.504

... postpone the meeting.

00:
51: 53.702 - 00: 51: 54.744

Wait.

00:
51: 56.215 - 00: 51: 59.098

We can continue as

assembly of citizens.

00:
52: 00.109 - 00: 52: 02.134

So we all adults

entitled to vote.

00:
52: 03.000 - 00: 52: 04.320

- I propose

- OK.

00:
52: 05.288 - 00: 52: 08.451

Hands up who

want to postpone the meeting.

00:
52: 11.464 - 00: 52: 12,184

Who is against?

00:
52: 14,462 - 00: 52: 14,585

Approved.

00:
52: 15,308 - 00: 52: 17,166

Now all adults

entitled to vote.

00:
52: 18,075 - 00: 52: 18,793

Returning to the original topic

00:
52: 24,315 - 00: 52: 27.149

Those in favor of

women formed picket ...

00:
52: 28.076 - 00: 52: 29.843

... to raise their hands.

00:
52: 45.564 - 00: 52: 46.421

Who is opposed?

00:
53: 13,073 - 00: 53: 16,682

Approved the motion

by 103 votes to 85.

00:
53: 49.221 - 00: 53: 50.164

Then came the women.

00:
53: 50.878 - 00: 53: 53.526

From Zinctown,

Hills ...

00:
53: 54.927 - 00: 53: 56.118

... and other mining towns ...

00:
53: 56.775 - 00: 53: 58.127

... traveling up to 45 km.

00:
53: 59.395 - 00: 54: 00.735

The we had never seen before.

00:
54: 01.887 - 00: 54: 03.387

They had no connection with the strike.

00:
54: 05.077 - 00: 54: 06.584

They had heard of

women pickets ...

00:
54: 07.533 - 00: 54: 08.221

... and going.

00:
54: 10,101 - 00: 54: 11,232

The men came too.

00:
54: 12,499 - 00: 54: 13,475

I think feared ...

00:
54: 14,765 - 00: 54: 16.576

... women

not abide.

00:
54: 17.739 - 00: 54: 19,091

Or perhaps feared

that we did so.

00:
54: 19,776 - 00: 54: 21.519

But not all women

joined the pickets.

00:
54: 22.589 - 00: 54: 24.211

some husbands

they banned it.

00:
54: 25.507 - 00: 54: 26.531

I was a

them.

00:
54: 26,863 - 00: 54: 29.099

It's unfair, I would

to be with them.

00:
54: 30.380 - 00: 54: 32.570

It was I who asked

they could vote.

00:
54: 33.222 - 00: 54: 34.635

The union does not send

in my house.

00:
54: 35.057 - 00: 54: 37,560

Those Anglo motivate you

and you do get ridiculous.

00:
54: 38.206 - 00: 54: 41.303

- I do not see them in line.

- Yo si. I see Ruth Barnes

00:
54: 42.099 - 00: 54: 44.038

The woman organizer?

Is your duty to be there!

00:
54: 44.039 - 00: 54: 45.710

no

00:
54: 46.230 - 00: 54: 48.230

It's there because he wants

00:
54: 48.077 - 00: 54: 49,167

I also see Mrs. Kalinski

00:
54: 50.232 - 00: 54: 52.471

And Jenkins? his wife

is not on the picket

00:
54: 53.711 - 00: 54: 55.529

There are also late Anglo husbands

00:
54: 56.032 - 00: 54: 57.612

- What did you say?

- Late

00:
54: 59.576 - 00: 55: 01.346

Can I download to animate?

00:
55: 02.146 - 00: 55: 04.505

- How small?

- He likes to wander.

00:
55: 06.106 - 00: 55: 07.687

This will throw the air ...

00:
55: 15,494 - 00: 55: 18,064

Do you wish to see my gun, girls?

00:
55: 18,065 - 00: 55: 19,031

Shut up!

00:
55: 20,059 - 00: 55: 22.179

Would you disobey fun

an injunction?

00:
55: 22.180 - 00: 55: 24,830

I'm not so sure

that violate the law.

00:
55: 25.070 - 00: 55: 29.820

The injunctive only

mentions miners

00:
55: 30.714 - 00: 55: 32.018

Which side are you on?

00:
55: 32.019 - 00: 55: 34.901

calm down, will rush

as chickens

00:
55: 35.586 - 00: 55: 37.529

Here we go, before

100 women come more

00:
55: 37.530 - 00: 55: 38,470

Forward guys.

00:
55: 44.414 - 00: 55: 47.314

- Use gas?

- It will not be necessary.

00:
56: 07.733 - 00: 56: 09.663

Back, do not intervengis

00:
56: 10,550 - 00: 56: 11,628

Han run over

my wife!

00:
56: 12,764 - 00: 56: 14,766

Do not give them excuses

to shoot.

00:
56: 15,276 - 00: 56: 16,073

You will go to jail

Back!

00:
56: 19.268 - 00: 56: 21.093

- Stand back

- Do not be involucris

00:
57: 20.385 - 00: 57: 21,479

Do not stay still.

Do something!

00:
57: 22.559 - 00: 57: 23,210

Calm down.
