Washington, D. C.-With a

Guerra ignored charges that
Porto Rican laborers are hungry
and can not secure work. These
statements were made by Santi-
AGO Iglesias, secretary of the
Pan American Federation of
Labor and member Of the
Porto Rican legislature.
To support his statements, Mr.
Iglesias submitted reports by the
United States Health Service, the
United States Children's Bureau, the
Bureau of Insular Affairs and the
Department of Commerce.
Faced by these documents, Mr.
Guerra replied: Iglesias wants tc
make every Porto Rican millionaire

Mr.. Guerra is associated with sug-
ar interests that have seized large
tracts of land in defiance of law anc
whose system of absentee landlordisn
has wrought general unemployment
and poverty.
President Green of the A. f. of l.
