apparently hanging in the balance
until next Wednesday, when

striking shopmen are due to meet
again, Dynamite and violence kept
the strike from tagging.
Outbursts occurred at scattered
points from the Atlantic to the Pa

q heavy blast rocked the trestle Of
a Chesapeake G Ohio railroad

much damage.
Dynamite 1. C. Tracks.
Dynamite tore up the track of
the Illinois Central at Paducah,
KY, Just ahead Of a coal train.
Two passenger trains and freight
had passed short time before and
the explosion burst behind bridge
crew. The oncoming coal train
was tagged in time to prevent a
wreck. Illinois Central detectives
expressed the belief the dynamite
was placed on the track in an at
tempt to wreck the bridge train on
its way to make repairs.
