DYNAMITE WRECKS HOUSES
Explosion In Philadelphia Kills One
and Injuries Twelve others.

Explosion In Philadelphia Kills One
and Injuries Twelve Others.
Philadelphia, Jan. S.-Dynamite
stored in a contractors shanty along
side the tracks OF the Pennsylvania
railroad at Thirty-flrst street and
Mantua avenue, exploded yesterday
morning, with dire results. Doc"
Mullen was killed and IL persons
badly hurt. Not pane of glass was
left unshatered for block in any di-
rection, and thousands of dollars
worth OF damage, which as yet cannot
be accurately estimated, was done.
The dead man was an employee of
p. McManus, the contractor who had
charge of considerable excavation
work for the railroad at that point.
Mullen was in the act of thawing out
the dynamite over a stove in the
shanty when the explosion occurred,
Instantly killing him. Not a part of
his body larger than six inches was
found after the explosion. He was
simply disintegrated. Part of one of
his legs was found 200 feet away in
a freight car standing on a siding.
Later. after diligent search, a portion
OF bis scalp and skull was picked UP
on the railroad tracks, and that was
all. The fragments were heaped on a
stretcher and carried off to the
morgue.
For mile around the explosion
was distinctly heard and caused the
greatest excitement The residents of
the houses nearby were thrown into
the widest sort Of panic. Women,
with bloody faces and hands, ran
screaming into the street, and half
stunned men hurried after them try
ing to help them. The pavements
and porches were covered with broken
glass, fences had been blown down,
while many doors sagged on one
hinge or lay fat where they had
fallen.

WHITE VERSUS COLORED BRICK.
LAYERS.

The white brick layers of Richmond
are on strike. They refuse to work
on account of disagreement relative
to the hours set by the contractors and
the employment of Negro labor.
This is peculiar position for labor to
assume with reference to labor. The
colored brick-layers are not permitted
join the Brick-]ayers Union, because
they are colored and are not to be per
mitted to work for the same reason.
The white contractors seem to have
become suddenly color-blind. A. man
who can lay brick and complete the
work is the one he is seeking, and &C
oordingly on many of the buildings of
the city, colored brick layers may be
seen occupying the places formerly
held by the striking white brick. layers.
This has been our contention all
along. Colored men should organize
their own labor unions and hold them
selves aloof from white laboring men,
who make color, rather than skill the
basis OF their disagreements.
Is Is right and proper for colored
brick-layers to meet the issue, stand by
the contractors and carry ON the work
TO q successful termination Our peo-
pie do not desire to place themselves in
antagonism to white labor, but when
white mechanics ignore and persecute
colorsd mechanics, there is nothing for
ns to do, bat meet the issue and act in

accordance with the laws of self-preser-
walton.
1t is a pity, though, that the colored
brick-layers are not properly organized
and Differed. in order that its president
and executive committee might deal
with the contractors instead of the
present plan ofindividual bargaining foi
positions.
But the colored mechanic is learning
his lesson and but few years will pass
before an organization, strong and
powerful, will form network through
out the southern states and be tn,
means of producing an industrial revo
luton, hitherto unknown in the history
of trade organizations.
