The article talks about the political status of Gastonia. Hysteria and hate rule Gastonia, North Carolina, where a chief of police is dead, sixty-five strikers and sympathizers are in prison charged with assault and complicity in his murder, and only the persuasiveness of local officers has saved the Communist leaders of the strike from being lynched. The killing of the chief of police, 0.F. Adderholt, was a tragic and indefensible act which brought instant and undiscriminating vengeance upon all the strikers. Evicted from the houses of the Manville-Jenckes Company, the cotton mill strikers had moved to a tent colony on the edge of Gastonia, where they held daily meetings and lived on strike-relief funds from the North.
