A GAS EXPLOSION

A committee appointed by the
California Federation to investi-
gate the explosion in the Los An
geles Times Office has, after care
full consideration, made report that
it was caused, not by dynamite,
but by gas. 1t says:
"Those who are familiar with
the peculiarities Of explosions Of
dynamite see in the evidence over
whelming certainty that no dyna-
mite was used. Our investigation
developed that there was a sound
like the rumbling of II cannon or
distant thunder. that the building
was in flames within ten seconds;
that the outside walls Of the build
ing remained standing and that
various employees of the Times
smelled gas on the night of the
tragedy"
The Times being a non-union
Office, the presumption at the time
OF the explosion was that it was
the work Of union labor.
