Batista nonetheless has maintained control; the army remains firmly in his hands. Eusebio Mujal, Cuba's top labor leader, is a Batista man; he was instrumental in halting Castro's threatened general strike last week. Castro's guerrillas have made no friends by burning millions of pounds of sugar cane--a senseless waste of the island's natural resources that angers many Cubans...

When the rebels tried to extend the strike to Havana, they bumped squarely into two pillars of the Batista regime-solid prosperity and a tough, bull-necked labor leader named Eusebio Mujal, 44.

He died 30 years later in northwestern Mexico after having...
