Opinion
BURKE, J.
Petitioners are the United Farm Workers Committee (“UFWOC”), and its two principal officers, Cesar Chavez (“Chavez”), and Dolores Huerta (“Huerta”). By this proceeding they seek a writ of prohibition restraining respondent court from enforcing, by contempt proceedings or otherwise, the provisions of a preliminary injunction issued by respondent on October 8, 1970. We have concluded that enforcement of a substantial portion of the preliminary injunction would violate petitioners’ constitutional rights of free speech and that a peremptory writ should issue accordingly.
