LABOR DEPRECIATES ATTEMPT
TO FASTEN CRIME ON UNIONS

Mr.. Fred C. Wheeler, president OF
the Los Angeles Central Labor coun-
Gil said:
'eThe fact that the Llewelyn iron
works is in warfare with organized
labor is all that our enemies need to
endeavor to lay this Outrage at our
door. Every true friend of the cause
of labor knows that violence INJURIES
our cause more than those against
whom 1t may be directed. To those
who would seek to fasten upon US
any responsibility for such a crime
we Of the Los Angeles labor council
the best reply we are able to make Is
by defying anyone to point out any
time i'm our twenty-six years OF our
existence when we have ever adVo-
Gated other than peaceable measures
for the accomplishment of our just
ends"
Apparently the police have no defi-
mite clue TO the perpetrators In view
of the Los Angeles Times dynamiting
outrage in October last in which
twenty-one men were killed, todays 5
explosion has created widespread in
terest. The grand jury is expected at
any time to hand in its report on the
Times case.
