HAVANA THREATENED
BY ANOTHER STRIKE
Jobs Resumed by Members of IL
Organizations as Other Groups
Consider Protests.

BY the Associated Press.
HAVANA, February 5.-Members Of
the IL Havana labor organizations who
answered the call for a general strike
Tuesday, today returned to their jobs,
satisfied with their protest against the
administration tactics.
There were reports that other labor
groups which did not participate in
the first strike call would arrange
protest in similar fashion during the
next few days.
The movement here fell far short of
the general strike which the labor
leaders had hoped to bring about.
Technically the strike was in sympathy
with Havana fish market workers who
have been out for several weeks on a
wage dispute matter. Their cause did
not appear to have been greatly aided
by the walkout.
