Postal inspectors have Joined detec-
tives in the search for the letter car
rier who delivered the bomb in yest
terday's mail. Another feature of the
investigation was comparison of the
Rolasky bomb with one which killed
Helen Taylor, on 18th street, on Feb
ruary last. The police never cleared
up that mystery.
Similarity of the construction OF the
two bombs is said to be remarkable IN
some particulars Both bombs bore
typewriter addresses on white paper,
pasted onto a manila paper wrapper.
The boxes were abmeut of the same size
and each contained two tiny electric
batteries and a spring arrangement des-
tined to produce an electric spark when
the cover of the box was removed. That
this did not work when Judge Rosaishy
opened his bomb, last night. is believed
to have been due to small particles OF
dirt which had accumulated about the
spring.
The explosion which occurred, later.
when Inspector Egan was examining the
box was for a time thought to have been
due to an electric contact caused by
Egan's iackknife, but, today, Egan eX-
pressed disbelief in this theory. I be-
lieve the machine had a time fuse he
said.
Egan thought himself lucky to have
escaped with his life He said that If the

TOTAL WAGE INCREASE LARGE
(Conthued from Page one.)

though there is a division of opinion
among the operatives, many are said
to be in favor of accepting the manu-
facturers offer at present, and reviY-
ing their demand for 10 per cent. when
business improves. The textile coun-
ell, made up OF delegates from unions
numbering thousands of operatives. is
affiliated with the American Federation
of Labor, while the Industrial Work
ers of the World, the organization
which carried on the long labor strug-
gle in Lawrence, claims great strength
as well among mill workers in New
Bedford.
Fall River operatives are also giving
evidence OF a spirit of unrest, induced
partly, perhaps, by the approach of
spring, and by the substantial wage
increase granted as a result of the
Lawrence agitation. The Textile Coun-
Gil representing five unions, has voted
Ia reject the offer of the manufacturers
of an advance of 5 per cent. and de-
mand 10 per cent, arguing that the
outlook for business in print cloths
is promising enough to warrant the
greater rise Negotiations between the
labor representatives and mill agents

week. Close observers of the situation
believe compromise will be arranged
On the result in Fall River will depend
in part, probably, the final attitude OF
