q Bombs Set Off
at Roundhouse
in California
Explosions Last From 1870 to
3 A. M.-Believed In.
tended to Terrorize
Workers.

San Bernardno, Cal, Aug. IL
(By A. P.)-Twenty-three time
bombs have exploded at intervals
from l.3O to 3 O'Clock this morning
in the stockade of the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe, within 200 feet
OF the company's roundhouse, ac-
cording to the sherif's Office.
The bombs were buried in the
ground and in exploding did not
damage except for blowing much
earth into the air, it was said.
Deputy United States Marsha; Al
bertson was seriously burned when a
bomb exploded in his hands shortly
after the explosion of the 23 bombs.
Explosion of the bombs created
terror IN the vicinity Of the shops,
hurling fragments several hundred
feet. The bombs were Of castiron,
pipe elbows filled with a white pow
der, and, according to Investigators,
were apparently thrown into the
stockade.
None OF the guards on duty was
hurt. One reported his hat blown
off.
It was thought at first that the
bombs were thrown into the stock
ade from passing automobile, but
explosions occurring at intervals led
investigators to believe that the
bombs had been previously planted.
The. belief that the explosions
were caused from high powered caps
and not bombs. was expressed by
United States Marshal Greenwood.
He was also of the opinion, he said,
that the explosions were intended
not to do any material damage, but
to frighten men at work in nearby
shops.
A high voltage power line Of the
Southern California Edison company
was broken just as one Of the ex-
plosions occurred and the wire, on
striking the ground, sent huge
flames into the air. Breaking of the
line caused the lighting system of
the city to become grounded and
the city was. in darkness for more
than an hour. \

States Request
.. S. to Operate
Mines and Rails
Governors Of Five States De.
clare Drastic Action Neces-
sary to Supply North
west With Fuel.

St. Paul, Aug. 1l.-(By A. P)-
Government operation of all coal
mines and railroads serving these
mines would be approved by the ped
pie of the northwest, according to Z
resolution adopted at the conference
Of governors of five northwest
states. The resolution was sent to
President Harding.
The resolution declared that a coal
shortage exists that threatens "the
health and happiness Of our people
and imperils the prosperity. Of our
business" -.
1t was signed by Governor Preus
OF Minnesota, Governor R. A. Mes
tos Of North Dakota; Governor w.
H. McMaster, South Dakota; Cover
nor U. J. Blaine, Wisconsin, and
Governor N. E. Kendall, Iowa.
r It was decided to appoint rep
resentative of the five states to a
joint committee to be maintained at
Washington to advance the interests
Of the northwest in the present coal
emergency. The committee will be
known as--the northwest coal COM
mittee and its expenses will be pro-
rated among the five states.
Y Shortage In Iowa. ..-.
The resolution followed declara-
ton by Governor Kendall that re-
gardless of what action is taken now,
hundreds of industries in the north
west will be closed for lack of fuel
and thousands of men thrown out of
work. Iowa, he said, has only q
two weeks supply Of coal on hand,
in spite of the fact that til ate has
mines capable of producing 1,000,-
600 tons of coal month.
1T isn't possible to operate the
Iowa mines, as I wrote the president.
unless the union men in the state
can be induced to return to work,
Governor Kendall said. Il see no
relief for our. country whatever ex-
cept for the federal government to
operate the mines"
Governor Preus had previously
suggested that government operation
of roads serving the mines that are
now producing coal might be the
better solution of the problem.
Blaine Favors Plan.
Governor Blaine was also strongly
in favor Of government operation of
the mines and what railroads are
necessary in case the mediation
proves unavailable in brief period.
]. ]. Murphy, South Dakota rail-
road commissioner, surBorted the
of Governor Kendall of
Iowa, that the government take over
and operate the mines. He urged
that the governors select represen-
tative to go to Washington at once
and stay there until the federal gov
ernment does something to relieve
the situation.
