Dynamite Exploded. Under
Building at Hastings, Colo.

exploded this morning under the electric
light power house at Hastings, 20 miles
north of Trinidad. One corner OF the
house was blown out but the machinery
was not damaged to any great extent.
Although information is meagre, it is
understood that the dynamite was not
placed correctly and as a consequence
very little damage was done AT strik-
ers headquarters it is claimed that the
dynamiting was not done by strikers
and that the purpose probably was to
have militia ordered to the camp. 1t
was rumored here that the superintend-
ent of the Hasting mines had been shot
and seriously injured, but this could not
be verified

American Federation of Labor today re-
assembled for deliberation on subjects,
the important nature of which has

parts of the country. President Com
pers' address and the reports of Secre-
tary Morrison and Treasurer sSLennon

Then it was expected that the many
recommendations contained in President

by the convention. His declaration that
the great danger which confronts the
federation is the internecine strife be-
tween affiliated unions over the juris-
diction of trades has been the chief topic

ed action on this matter would be ta-
ken.
