Guatemala Protests.
Even the hand-picked representa-
tives of Central American labor chos-
en- by the Gompers-Morones machine
to sit in the so-called "Pan-American"
Federation of Labor convention, can
not entirely stihe the cry of the op-
pressed Latin-American workers op-
pressed not only by their own CAPT.
talists. but literally crushed by the i'm.
perialism Of Wall STREET., and Wash.
ington.
The representative Of Guatemala
has introduced four resolutions which
gave the labor lieutenants Of Ameri.
can imperialism a few uncomfortable
minutes while being read. They will
go the same path to innocuous desue-
tude as did the protest against the oc
cupation of Haiti by American troops
passed thru the last Pan-American
convention, as long as Gompers and
Morones rules.
Free Speech for Labor.
The first resolution is one demand
ing that the United States not recog
nize any government of the Central
American republics, unless the work
ers in such republic are allowed free
speech, free press and the right to or.
ganize and to strike.
The second resolution asks that the
Pan-American Federation of Labor
should send mixed groups Of organic
ers, with those from the A. F. Of L.
to go together with native organizers,
into every Central-American country
to organize the workers there.
Labor Laws Violated.
The third resolution asks that the
Pan-American Federation agitate and
spread publicity for the enforcement
of the eight-hour law and other labor
laws which are formally on the sta
tutes of Central-American countries
but which are not enforced.
The fourth resolution of Guatemala
asks that the Pan-American Fedora.
ton OF Labor demand that the execu.
ton of radicals and horrible fortunes
In prison of labor organizers be abol
ished in all Central-AmericAn repub-
lies. The resolution tells of radicals
whose offense was merely that of or
ganizing workers, being hung up by
the thumbs in Guatemala.
Communist Party Driven Underground.
The Communist Party of Central
America was formed in Guatemala in
the summer OF 1923, out of the group
called LA Unifcacion Obrera Social
ista," and still is compelled to work H.
legally owing to the terrible persecu-
ton by the satraps of American i'm
perialism.
The representatives of Panama have
introduced protest against the dis
elimination not only permitted but ad-
vocated by Gompers against the Lat.
in-American workers in the Panama
Canal Zone.
Gompers Calls Natives "AlIens."
The Canal Zone, it must be recalled,
is land absolutely stolen by armed
force from Colombia. 1t was a boast
of President Roosevelt that he took
the land without legal right by engin.
eering fake revolution and then
sending in marines to restore order"
and seize the territory and never give
it back.
Advocates Race Discrimination.
Gompers, in a report made in
March, has the gall to term these ma.
tives of the canal zone "aliens" and
he goes on to recommend that they
be Disseminated against, "all-Ameri.
can" workers to be hired for all good
jobs, and If hired at all, these "aliens"
should be paid from rs to 35 per cent
less than the citizens Of the United
States" working at the same jobs. 1t
is this discrimination at which the
Panama resolution is aimed.
