DYNAMITING
AT LOS ANGELES
Non-union Works Blown Up, But Com
pany Official Does Not Blame
Strikers.

Los Angeles, Dec. 27-The LleweIlyn
Iron works, long prominent in the fight
against the recognition of union labor
in this city and one of the concerns in.
volved in the metal workers strike,
which went into effect June /, were part
ly wrecked by an explosion, presumably
of dynamite, early Sunday.
About seventy-fve feet Of the front
of the main building, three-story frame
structure, was shot to pieces, and its
contents of furniture and paraphernalia
were piled together in apparent ruin.
The heavy machinery of the building
apparently was unchanged. Windows
for a block around were broken and per-
sons more than two miles away we're
awakened. A hole eighteen inches deep
and about six feet in diameter also bears
witness to the place OF the explosion.
j. +. Asbury, Waterman, was seated
in the Office, about thirty-one feet from
the center Of the explosion. He was
buried under a mass of debris, but was
dragged out by policeman Cahill,
Il saw flash. and heard report
like the crack of whip" said police
man Cahill "and next the front of the
building seemed to crumble and the air
seeed full OF debris"
In view of the Los Angeles Times
dynamiting outrage, in which twenty
one men were killed last October yes
terday's explosion created extraordinary
interest
John Ilewellyu, secretary of the COM
pany. attributes the explosion to labor
troubles. but says he does not think
that "the men who were working in Los
Angeles and went out IN the metal
workers strike are responsible for it.
/ do not think they have had anything
to do with IT, I believe il is the work
of men who do not belong here"
Fred C. Wheeler, president Of the Los
Angeles Central Labor council, said:-
"The fact that the Llewellyn Iron
works IS in warfese with organized labor
Is all that our enemies need to endeavor
TO lay this outrage az our door. Every
true friend Of the cause Of labor knows
that violence injuries cur cause more

tween this city and Hollis, and one Of
the most prosperous citizens of that

absence, went to see what was OBTAINING
him. Then his dead body was found

caring for the bull, it turned on him and
attacked him. The animal was of high
breed and had taken prizes.
