Times has been fighting the unions in
a special campaign with a view of
driving them out of the city altogether
and the unions in turn have declared
general strike. General Otis and his
associates are being sued for criminal
| libel and before the investigation is
complete it may be found that the ex-
plosion was caused purposelv by some
of the union faction as they have sworn
vengeance against the ''rats'' who
operate the machines.
