General Manuel Orelian, commander at Fort Matamerros, who led the uprising was named provi- sional president, The Palma government was com- pletely under the domination of the United Fruit Company. Conditions of the peasant and working. messes of Guatemala were growing from bad to worse. The establishment of the new milirtay government under Gen- era] Orelian does not mean any fund- amental change of government in Guatemala, as all of the officials and generals were good tools of Wall Street, In order to give the appearance of “change” Orelian declared that con- stitutional guarantees, which had been revoked by Palma, would be re- | , established. Palma had declared mili- tary law in Guatamala, “especially against Communists and labor ag: ators.” - The slump in coffee prices which | comprises 80 per cent of Guatemala’s | exports, have made conditions very | bad for the already impoverished | peasants. It was the big slump in| coffee prices that led the way to| the uprising in Brazil, \families and would starve “and be | Labor Defense fis | with lesser sentences, The prison- | Activ ities helpless America.

Torman acted as spokesman for the committee and told the court that the workers were determined to fight the bosses’ policy of throwing them out of jobs and then kicking them into the streets to freeze. ‘The court, which had set the evic- tion for tomorrow, decided to “allow another five days.” Torman retorted that in five days the unemployed prove his condition, as he had been vainly hunting for work during the past year, being one of over 900,000 AFFAIR SAT.

The workers went on strike ten days ago and there was militant and per= sistent mass picketing until the end. One shop is at 140th St. and Broad- way; one is at 168th St. and Broad- way, and the other is at University and Fremont—all under the samo management. The workers had been working & 12 or 14-hour day. Now the union hours prevail. This victory will be a great en- couragement to organize and struggle for the thousands of food workers in this section. | YCL Prepare Big Time for Xmas Eve, Dec, 24 NEW YORK.—While the churches and all the other religious organiza~ tions of the bosses are doping the minds of the workers with religious propaganda and promises of “pie in the sky,” the Young workers of New York, together with the Young Com- munist League, wil] have a big anti religious dance, held on December 24th, Christmas Eve at. the New Har- Jem Casino, 116th St. and Lenox Ave, This dance is part of the member- ship drive initiated by the Young Communist League.
