On this day in 1934, the Chilean Workers' Federation (FOCH) headquarters in Santiago was attacked by the police and armed vigilantes known as the "White Guards" - 7 workers and a child were murdered and 200 more were badly injured.

The FOCH was founded in 1909, and functioned as a kind of trade union center with socialist leanings. FOCH was suppressed, facing the closure of premises, banning of newspapers, and the arrest of its leaders. It officially dissolved on December 26th, 1936, going on to form the Confederation of Chile (CTCH).
