SCORE DIE IN FIRE
Plant Of Los Angeles Times Is
Totally Destroyed
ORGANIZED LABOR BLAMED
Charge Is Made That the Disaster
Followed the Explosion Of
" Dynamite Bomb.

Los Angeles, Oct. "a score of per.
sons are believed to have persisted in
q fire which swept the building occu-
pied by the Los Angeles Times.
The fire followed an explosion in
Che mechanical department of the
'Dimes and rapidly spread throughout
Che entire building. The building was
soon mass of flames and firemen say
ehey believe many who attempted to
reach the windows fell back into the
blaze.
Immediately after the first explosion
q sheet of flame seemed to envelope
the entire building, sweeping upward
fore an alarm could bring the fire ap-
paratus a series of sharp detonations
shook the neighborhood for blocks.
Employees who had just left the
building when the explosion occurred
say that gas had been leaking some
where in the building all evening and
that the smell of gas pervaded the
whole structure.
This has led the police to believe
that gas caused the explosion.
During the fire at the Times sew
eral surrounding buildings were
threatened, but hard work by the fire
men saved them. The Times plant is
estimated to be worth over 100000
and is total loss.
Owing to the fact that the explosion
did not occur until after the paper
had been gotten out the death toll
few hours earlier.
Times Was Nonunion Paper.
The Times building is located at
First and Broadway, in the heart of
the business section of the city, and
Is owned by General Harrison Gray
Otis. 1t is one of the largest nonunion
papers in the country and for years
has been the zone of bitter warfare
between General Otis and the friends
Of union labor.
The Times has for years been run
~ an open shop" Recently union
labor forces have been engaged in a
life and death struggle in Los Angeles.
AS result, and before there was the
slightest notice that the disaster was
anything other than a pure accident.
enemies of union labor voiced the sug-
gestion that the accident was due to
the union labor trouble. Officials of
the unions Indignantly denied this and
will probably start a searching inyes-
tigation to prevent capital being made
of the accident. They say that the
Investigation will prove that the dis
&ster was due to carelessness and
Tack of safety device precautions.
Of the Times, gave out the following
statement:
1.-THE Times building was destroyed
by dynamite by the enemies of indus
trial freedom.
THE Times itself cannot be de-
stroyed. 1t will soon be reissued
from its auxiliary plant and will fight
ITS battles to the last"
Later in the day, the police say,
bombs were found at the home Of
General Otis in this city and at the
suburban residence of F. ]. Zeehan-
delscr, president of the Merchants and
Manufacturers association.
Rewards aggrC eating 100000 have
been offered for the capture of the
guilty parties
