This victory was the elimination

eight-hour day, effective thirty days
hence.
The latest strike to break out is at
the Bethlehem Iron Mines, near
Santiago, where 1000 workers have
walked out. The strikers, according to
reports received here, have sur
rounded the extensive properties and
are carrying on energetic .picketing
activities.
Using the demagogic argument
that strike violence" would precipi-
tate the landing of q. S. marines,
the Cuban government has ordered
troops to deal firmly" with strikers
throughout the interior. Yesterday,

wounded several girls.

out to force the return of the prop

More Strikes Loom.
In addition to the strike of the
1000 mine workers at Daquiri, near
Santiago, there is an effective walk
out at the Preston Sugar Mill, owned
by the American United Fruit Com
pany. Strikes are also expected
momentarily at Banes, the loading
point of the Boston sugar mill, also
owned by the United Fruit Co.
The Communist Party and the
Young Communist League of Cuba,
meanwhile are continuing active agi-
tation, boldly calling for an energetic
fight against American imperialism
and its interventionist aims. Com
munist influence is observable in
most of the strikes being reported
from the interior.
