on the resumption OF the sessions OF the

SINGER COMPANY
SHOPS WRECKED
BY SOCIALISTS

Sosnowicy Russian Poland. July "a
simultaneously at noon yesterday bombs
were thrown into four stores OF the Sing
er Sewing Machine company located here,
at Bendzin. at ZawierZe. and at Ozen-
stochan. wrecking each of the shops and
wounding many persons. .l
The bomb throwers were agents OF the
Polish Socialistic party, which had made
the Singer company an example of what
may happen to others for refusing TO
contribute to the revolutionary cause.
Emissaries of the party asked the rep
resentative OF the Singer companys Po-
lish branches TO pay a certain sum for
the benefit of the party. The agent re-
fused and was informed that the shops
would be destroyed.
In each instance a man entered the
stores and ordered the women and clerks
10 leave. Details are still wanting, but
IL appears that in some instances the en-
ployes refused TO leave, and the bombs
were thrown without any further utter
ances.
In the Sosnowice branch eight persons
were injured -Four persons were arrest
ed here, including the probable thrower
of the bomb.
Cossacks are patroling the streets. A
sort OF reign OF terror exists, as other
business houses have been threatened.

power of the police 10 prevent fanatical
deeds OF violence in the name of liberty.
