DepIoring Loss Of Life.

Strike Committee Gives Statement
Deploring Loss Of Life.
Los Angeles-The strike committee
Of the metal trades. members Of which
have been on strike for some months,
issued the following statement:
1.-THE union labor men in Los An
geles deplore deeply the loss Of life
and injury in the explosion and fire at
the Times plant. The unions declare
that the statement In the Times that
the explosion was caused by some per-
son or persons connected with organ
lied labor here OF elsewhere Is false.
Ever since the beginning Of union labSv
here, violence Of every sort has been
condemned In public and private. No
union man has been permitted to com
init any act of violence, be 1t ever so
lights, nor have the unions failed rig
orously to demand that their members
obey the laws.
We believe that success can only be
won by peaceful reasoning and show
ing the laboring man his rights and
duties.
I'VE therefore deny unequivocally
that the unions or any union man In
our knowledge had anything to do with
any violence against the Times en-
ployes or property.
I'VE stand ready and willing to do
all In our power to aid In thorough
investigation of the explosion.

BUILDING BLOWN UP
Los Angeles Times Office Dyna-
miled and Many Killed.
Five Known Dead and at Least 20
Missing Property Loss
About $500, 900.

Los Angeles, Cal.-The building oc.
cupied by the Los Angeles Times was
set on fire by an explosion just before
o'clock Saturday morning. There
probably will be found heavy death
list from the fire and explosion.
The interior Of the building was en-
veloped in flames Immediately following
the explosion, which it is thought took
place in the basement, and it is report
ed that a number Of men were seen to
fall dead through the windows. Esti-
mates now place the number Of dead
as high as so.
The fire was preceded by an explos-
ion and Immediately the building was
enveloped in flames. This explosion
occurred on the second floor of an ad-
dition of the old building. The old
part is Of three floors.
Within a few seconds from the time
Of the explosion the entire .building
was frey furnace. Crowds that gath
cred early say they saw many men fall
back from the windows into the flames.
Others leaped and were injured.
A later account says the Times
Office was dynamited, and claims it
was done by enemies of the paper,
presumably members Of labor unions,
whom the Times has been fighting re-
lentlessly for number of years.
The entire building and newspaper
plant are destroyed, with a loss of
$500, 900.
Most of the department editors are
believed to have escaped. Thirty men
were at work on the linotypes and 80
in the lad" room. 1t is not known
how many of these got out.
Flames followed the explosion SO
quickly that many of the printers are
believed to have persisted. Some were
seen to fall backward from the win
dows into the fire. Many others who
leaped to the ground were injured.
