CHICAGO, April l.-"rhere is a, dy.
Mantle school here in Chicago" Said a
prominent labor officer, who came hero
several weeks ago TO assist In the settle.
ment of astrike which was in progress
He continued, said "a morning paper,
There Is also one in Boston, and an
other in New York. The information
came to me from source which is alb
solutcly reliable and was unsought and
undcsired on my part The matter came
up in discussion of the question
whether or not it is necessary for labor
organizations to employ physical force
in order to carry on the struggle for
shorter hours of labor and better pay
in other words, larger share of tho
profits Of labor, My informant was be-
lever in physical force and held the doe
trinc that the thorough organization of
labor and the discovery of dynamite
were the two things which would even
tually bring about the equalization Of
the profits of labor between the em-
ployer and cmployc. He claimed that
the great mass of men who produce tho
wealth which eventually drifts into tho
hands of the few were always sur
rounded and awed by legalized force,
and if the laborers did not meet
force with force his condition must
gradually sink until he would be-
come n slave. He claimed that to
offset the elaborate establishments of
armed civi; and military forces which
capital has set up dynamite has offered
a simple and effective weapon to the Gn-
organized masses. Claiming that few
of the advanced thinkers in this labor
reform movement had recognized the im-
portance of training up a trusted few
in the use of dynamite as an offensive
weapon they had established the schools
referred to, and he offered to back up
his assertion by taking me to the Bos-
ton establishment.
This story of the labor official has
been corroboratcd so far as Chicago is
concerned by telegram from Paris
Wednesday to the effect that the bombs
which have been found there were
made on the plan of the Chicago model.
Police Inspector Schaall, who knows
as much about anarchy and its follow
ers as anyone else in the city, says, with
reference to the story that the bombs
now in use in Paris were made in this
city:
81 arm inclined to think that they arc
using Chicago made bombs for several
reasons, the principal of which is that
the style of bombs that are made in this
city are vastly more destructive than
anything that the French dynamiters

"Are there any bombs now in Chica.
go?" the inspector was asked.
"Plenty of them. On one occasion a
cart load of bombs were taken
away from a certain place where
they were manufactured, and no
one has yet been able to To-
cate them. l believe they are in the
city and ready to be used in case of
trouble. There is also lot of about
900 bombs sccrcted, but where the
police have not yet been able to tell.
/ believe these bombs are divided up
among the NEST faithful and trust
worthy. Aside from this stock there
are additional resources for the people
| who use them. At present there are
probably 900 men in this city who
know how to make dynamite bombs,
and who can make them by their own
