Notes:

Issue number: 503-2 ; Story number within issue: 4 of 4

Note: There is only the single page in the issue book for issues 503-1 and 503-2 and it is dated 16th April. The 503-1 story given above is not mentioned as this may have been an emergency issue brought out just before a general strike was to have been declared on the 15th. Stories scheduled for that date may then have been moved to the next issue. It is not clear from the evidence what occured.
