DYNAMITE SCHOOLS.
They Exist In Chicago, New York
and Boston.
The Bombs Used in Paris Were Manufac-
tured In Chicago - Capt. Shaak Bo-
lieves the Reports Are True, and says
Bombs Are Plenty In Chicago.

CHICAGO, April 1.-'Thcre is dy-
Mantle school here in Chicago" said q
prominent labor officer, who came here
several weeks ago to assist in the settle
ment of strike 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
solutely reliable and was unsought and
undesired 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, a larger share of tho
profits of labor. My informant was be-
lieveri in physical force and held the doc
trine 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 en-
ployer and employe. He claimed that

and if the laborers did not meet
force with force his condition must

reform movement had recognized the im-
portance of training up Il trusted few
in the use of dynamite as an offensive

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 corroborated 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 Schaak, who knows
as much about anarchy and its follow
crs 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 am inclined to think that they are
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
have ever constructed"
'Are there any bombs now in Chica.

"Plenty of them. On one occasion a
cart load of bombs were taken
away from certain place where
they We're manufactured, and no
one has yet boon able to io-
cate them. believe they are in the
city and ready to be used in case of
trouble. There is also lot of about
900 bombs secreted, but where the
police have not yet been able to tell.
believe these bombs are divided up
among the most faithful and trust
worthy. Aside from this stock there
are additional resources for the people
who use them. At present there are
probably 200 men in this city who
know how to make dynamite bombs,
and who can make them by their OWE
