Dopcy Benny Fein. whose confession
brought about the indictment Of thirty
-four persons, has told the District At
torney that during the general strike IN
the mems clothing trade in February
and March, 1918, no less han nineteen
bombs were thrown. In each Instance
the building attacked was occupied by
Arms that had not acceded to the de-
mands OF the union leaders.
Assistant District Attorney Brecken-
ridge is having a record OF these bomb
outrages compiled and IL is likely more
indictments will be returned.

vino were organized to wage guerrilla
warfare in strikes. that murder was not
intended in placing the bombs. They
were used merely to show the power be-
hind the threats OF the union Its as rep
resented by their leaders.
Many specific instances OF assaults
are coming to the attention OF the Dis
trict Attorneys office. A man whose

himself In trouble n az he walked

after being beaten was struck or the

prosecutor.
The owner OF the dressmaking cstab-
lishment at this time took refuge in a
hospital. where he remained two weeks.
When he got out he consented to have
his business unionized. This was done
BY a man who had taken a prominent
part in the attacks on him and his bust
ness. A clerk asked this leader IL he
were not afraid Of being arrested. The
leader drew from his hip pockets a
blackjack and a "A calibre revolver, re-
