The article, entitled “Dollar Terror in Cuba,” was written by Mella especi- ally for the Labor Defender shortly before his death and is illustrated with a drawing sent to the magazine a few days before he was assassin- ated. Another article of unusual time- liness is “Mineola,” by Moissaye J. Olgin, editor of The Hammer. This tells the story of the frame-up of nine.fur workers, two of whom have already begun serving a sentence of from two and a half to five years, while the other seven are coming up for trfal Monday, The story of another class-war case is told in “Fuller Did It,” which idiscusses the criminal libel case consideration of the pending cruiser authorization.

These strikes had continued since the first wage cut order was issued | by the bosses, and no instructions by reactionary union officials to re- |turn and no pressure of the bosses could get them to return to work. Finally, the 24 per cent increase demand had been made by the large | masses of workers recently, who also gave evidence of going out on a general strike if the demand was not met, Seeking to scare the textile oper- |atives, the employers’ organization issued an ultimatum several days ago, demanding that all the single strikes be called off immediately. Strike machinery for conducting a general strike is being formed by |the unions. The overwhelming ma- jority of the unionists, in following | the militant leadership of the revo- |lutionary workers, are demanding |that the strike be spread imme- diately.
