DXAMIE USED IN
ATTEMPT TO BLOW
Up CARS IN BOSTON
Two Eight-Inch Sticks of
!. Explosive Found on
- Tracks.

BOSTON, June 1.-Two sticks of
dynamite were found on the car track
on Commonwealth avenue In the ex-
elusive Aberdeen district today. A car
passed over the sticks, which did not
explode. Each stick measured eight
inches in length. Police officers believe
an attempt was made to dynamite a
car in connection with the elevated
strike.
Several were injured, more than a
score were thrown to the ground, and
200 passengers were severely shaken up
today In a collision Of two surface cars
at the junction of Walnut avenue and
Warren street, Roxbury. Five persons
were taken to the city hospital.
1t was reported that the collision was
caused by q green motorman, who had
charge of one of the cars, taking the
place of striker. The cars came to-
gether sideways at junction point.
One woman was thrown from her seat
head foremost Several men were
caught between the cars as they came
together. Both cars were crowded.
William A. Bancroft, president of the
Boston elevated, today declared his
willingness to meet the State board of
arbitration and conciliation and discuss
the elevated strike. This declaratio ion
was made when Mayor Fitzgerald sought
to arrange for a conference between
General Bancroft and the employees of
the railway: General Bancroft said:
II cannot meet the men. / am willing,
however, to meet the State board, and
tell them our position"
The strikers have repeatedly declared
their willingness to refer their demands
to the State board. The refusal of the
elevated 70 recognize their right to
unionize, they declare, was the funda-
mental cause of the strike.
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, was ex-
pected in Boston today to attend and
speak at mass meeting Of the strikers
to be held at Faneuil Hall at o'clock.
Tho plan to parade has been abandoned.
