Hidden Slavery in Guatemala Timber Concession Unearthed
A Mexican owned lumber company pays Guatemala 125000 in national currency for a five year mahogany and cedar concession along four rivers. The plan relies on slave labor from peons lured by advance pay and drink, with brutal camps, treble debt, and harsh discipline. The tract extends into Chaipas and Guatemala, where forests and ruined Indian settlements mark a long history of frontier extraction.
