" 0RLD CLAIMS
WALL STREET
BLAST SOLv WE'D
(By United Press)

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-The New
York Evening World yesterday un-
der the headline "Wall Street Ex-
plosion Solved" declared that the ex-
plosion was the result of a revolt OF
union house-wreckers against Robert
?. Brindell, head Of the Labor Trades
council, and house-wrecking contract
ors. The Worlds declaration is baset
on an independent investigation Of
the explosion.
The article said:
"The Evening World here pre-.
sents proof that 1900 men, nearly all
foreign born, sober, industrious, eff
ficient and we'll observation-disclosures
wreckers' local No. s5-known re-
Gently also as The Polish Union and
Zaranko's Union-have within a
space of 18 months been subjected to
an amazing conspiracy of greed and
injustice and the explosion was the
elimination of this tyranny.
The building trades graft was
responsible for the crime. The Eve
ming World does not charge the
union, as a union, with responsible
ity. 1t was the work of individuals
possibly inside the union, possibly
the work of sympathizers."

exploded in Wall street and killed
more than so persons was designed to
explode close to house wrecking job

alluring plaything for their friends.
