at Pan American Federation of La

Santiago Brooks, union leader, of
Guantanamo, Cuba, was shot at Puer-
to Tarafa about November Z.
The La Prenza report says Brooks
was shot by a rural police corporal
and declares this report has been
made to the American embassy in Ha-
vana by embassy agents.
"The Cuban government" says La
Prensa, knowing that several North
American labor associations have
asked President Hoover to intervene
in Cuba (this is incorrect; investiga-
tion has been asked, not intervention)
in order to stop continuous assassina-
tions, deprivements of property and
other attempts which are being COM
mitted against the lives of labor lead
ers, obliged the organized unions to
protest to the American Federation of
Labor against the attitude of work
men who made declarations against
the Cuban government, as well as
against the action in that respect by
the convention recently held in
Canada.
"The labor unions, forced by fear
agreed to sign said protest, except
several unions among which was the
union of which Brooks was secretary

victim and the members of the execu-

cablegram to President Green, of the
American Federation of Labor. AS
Brooks declared frankly that his
union would not lend itself to this
artifice, the corporal, in the presence
of many persons, shot him twice with

government regulation weapon.
Brooks was killed.
