due to a bomb
The bomb, thrown shortly before
eight o'clock. landed in the legation
garden. The fact that this part of
the legation was without lights and
that no one was there at the time
seems to indicate that the perpetrator
had no intention of killing any one

Washington, Mar. 12-The only
official message reaching the state
department today regarding the ex-
p1osion in the American legation at
Sofia was cablegram sent at 10
o'clock last night by Minister Wilson
coinciding with the information con-
tanned in Associated Press dis
patches.
The message said that the explos-
ion occurred in the chancery of the
legation at $ O'Clock in the evening
breaking all the chancery windows
and doing some additional damage
but that no one was injured. Except
for servants it was said no one was
in the legation at the time. The
cablegram added that the prelimi-
nary police investigation indicated
that the explosion was caused by
bomb.

Force of Five Million

"Come what may" said Mr.. Comp
! ers, the United Textile Workers of
America can count on the American
Federation of Labor to stand behind
them to the fullest extent of its
power. and the American Federation
has a membership of five millions.
| These members, with their wives and
children, represent % percent of the
population of the United States. The
American Federation of Labor will
exert every effort ungrudgingly, cor
daily and enthusia sticalIy to help the
textile strikers to at least get bread
during their struggle"
The labor leader declared that
textile workers knew, if few other
people did. that about year ago
wages in this industry were cut
% IL percent. They knew that the
cost of living had not been reduced
when that cut was put into effect.
Today a further reduction of 30 per-
cent was offered. mill owners think
ing that because the first cut was
accepted with little more than a
murmur, the second would be accept
ed in actual silence" In addition to
the rev wage reduction mill own
ers proposed to extend the 4S-hour
working week to "a hours.
Treated as Ours
Men and women of the laboring
class who accept every kick that is
given them are treated as yellow
ours are treated" declared Mr.
Gompers.
Il have read that one Of the man
ayers OF one OF the mills in Rhode
island said the state must protect
its industries" he continued. IL
was always under the impression
that the paramount duty of the state
was to protect its people. The
womanhood and childhood of the
country demand protection.
mill owners say that under ex-
isflng conditions it is impossible for
them to compete with the mills of
the south. Much already has been
said in reply to that claim. The fact
that the textile industry in the
south is largely owned and control
led by northern capital is incontro-
rertible. No attempt vet has been
made to dispute that fact.
No End to Reductions
If the textile workers accept this
twenty per cent reduction is it not
reasonable and natural to suppose
That the textile mills Of the south
will meet this cut with a similar re-
IIirt:nn n I
ls maze Will not the same co:npeti-
ton between the north and south
again prevail? L. will and the mill
ownHs OF Rhode Island Will again
demand ten or twenty per cent rcduc-
ton. Then each side will go on COM
petirg and depressing downward.
Nha' then will become OF the textile
it.Grstry in Am" lea?
Let this competition continue and
there will be 40 textile industry left
in New England. Thank God there
are enough industries in tie United
states TO allow MEN and women now
employed in tic textile Business to
finI 2 livlihood.'
Nobody disputed, said Mr.. Com
rers. that ind'I5tl ial depression tx-
isted. Government agencies cstima-
ted the number OF unemployed in the
country at 5.G6c.O0O. These I'M
employed were unable to consume
because they were unable to buy.
Reduction Of wages in the textile in
dnstry would mean reduction 10y 90
per cent OF the consuming power CT
II ousands and this would affect
thousands Of other industries. -.

view. For that period the COM

ball championship here Saturday by
DEBATING the strong Hermiston team,

second quarter, taking a forward pass
from Krctzer on the Hermiston 10

The game was one of the best ever
played on the Athena field, Hermiston
being defeated for the first time this
season.
In view of the fact that no confer
