Milton junction fire department went
to the scene nearly a mile away and by
hard work prevented the fire from
spreading to other buildings near by,
while the neighbors assisted in saving
much of the furniture in the lower part
of the house. Fortunately the, wind
blew in the right direction to; carry the
flames away from adjoining buildings

WILL GET THE BLAME.


No one will deprecate the awful
tragedy at Los Angeles more than
the trades unionists of the country
yet trades unionism will be blamed
for the horrible deed. We may now
expect union haters to rush to the front
and point out Zone more awful murder
by union men.
IL Is all useless TO ask men to with
hold judgment until the facts are made
known. They will jump at conclu-
sions. The verdict is already made up
the trades unions are guilty in the
eyes of those who are either ignorant
of the true meaning of trades unionism
or actuated by selfish motives to OPP
pose uaion;sm. Those who know what
trades urionism means know full well
that the Los Angeles tragedy is not
the fruits of trades union teaching.

union card may have exploded a bomb
1t has been done not because the man
carried union card but because he
was a fanatic. Unionism as a whole

church of Jesus Christ should be
judged as a whole by the fanatic who
offers his child as sacrifice to re-
ligion.
The Los Angeles tragedy is the out
come of fanaticsm on both sides in
controversy that has caused heart
aches, hunger and suffering. Harrison
Gray Otis his become crazed on the
subject of anti-unionism. There is no
other explanation of his actions. In
all his fight against unionism he has
been aided and abetted by selfish men
who seek to profit by exploiting labor,
and by politicians who sought place
and power. AS result Los Angeles
has been in turmoil for months. Is it
any wonder, then, that some poor devil,
bounded by subservient officers of the
law and blacklisted by haters of or
ganized labor, sought to revenge him
self upon the arch enemy?
Mind you, we do not believe that
the Los Angeles Times was destroyed
by bomb. There is nothing to prove
that to have been the case-nothing
more than the desperate effort of a
crazy man to further discredit men
who have dared to fight for their
rights
The finding of "bombs' at Otis
residence-or rather, the report of find
ing them-within couple of hours
after the Times building was wreck ed,
casts more suspicion upon the police
and the Otis crowd than it does upon
