The Tribune has learned Of a nationwide
movement, prompted by a long series Of
dynamite outrages and the astounding
revelations Of the confessed wreckers at
Los Angeles, to amend the laws in regard
to the sale of high explosives, so that
criminals may not easily obtain the means
of wholesale destruction and slaughter. A
committee OF the National Metal Trades
Association has drawn up a bill with this
end in view, and copies Of 1t are now being
sent by Commissioner Robert Wuest to the
citizens alliances and employers associa-
ticns in the different states, with a request
that action be taken to have it made into
