In MASS. LABORATORY
Two Holes Are Blown in Walls of
Building at Roxbury, Mass
One Injured,

Boston, Mass, July 2o.-A 1O-gallon
still used In the distillation Of ether
exploded yesterday afternoon In the
State Department of Public Health
laboratory, 265 Brookline avenue,
Roxbury. John A. Maroney, IS, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. John Maroney Of 40

Port Arthur. Tex, July 20.-The
descent of 10000 foot loose members
of the Industrial Workers of the
World on Port Arthur itself, a city of
approximately 10000 has been called
off and instead general strike of the
marine workers of the I. W. w. is
threatened.
But few members OF the advance
guard had arrived here when the
dramatic 18th hour orders of high
officials of the I. w. w. called off the
march. They are in jail.
General Organizer Sidney Terry Of
the I. w. w. announced that the i'm
pending general strike would take
marine workers out of vessels in every
American port.
The marine strike is to be protest,
Terry said, against Imprisonment for
violation of criminal syndicalism laws
and against the recent court injunc-
ton in California.
The strike is to be general, affecting
all transport members of our or
ganization as they come into the diff
ferent ports after the strike order is
given, Terry said.
simultaneously the strike will go
into effect over east, west and Gulf
coasts. The word may come in
short time, he said.
Going into effect at midnight,
April rs, the former l. w. w. marine
strike had but little effect on the
gulf. While large numbers of men
walked off American vessels they were
replaced and agents declared no
sailings were missed. ,

Francisco told of the oncoming cru
saders before the climax last night.

Port Arthur officials from the Ku-
Klux Khan and the American Legion
