Although the photograph is a nice one, the AWO/AWIU was probably not active at Arvin in 1940. — Preceding

That is correct. Its probably a picture of the "Cannery and Agricultural Workers' Industrial Union" or its successor. All kinds of post-1930 historical materials confuse the CAWIU and the AWIU because of the similar names. As far as I've been able to determine, the AWO/AWIU ceased activity in 1930.

The article tries to strongly suggest that the AWO/AIWU folded because of mechanization of agricultural work. While that was true on the great plains (the wheat belt), it was not true in other areas of the country and in terms of other crops. There was plenty of field labor on the west coast in fruit and veg crops. In California and Nevada, it was the depression and the rise of the communist-aligned "Cannery and Agricultural Workers' Industrial Union" which finished off the old AWO.
