Henry B. Cassell. 81. OF 401 N.

the blasts. Streets and tracks were
torn up. Nerves Of street car crews,
passengers and residents along the
car tracks were made jumpy.
Attempts were made to blow up
two other cars. The explosions were
prevented by the finding of explo-
sives.
Charges "Blacklegs"

clared.
Nhgs said he believed It was an
attempt to ALLEVIATE public sympa-
thy and support for the strikers.
Police reports contained state.
ments OF persons that men in an au-
tomobile without license placed the
explosives on the tracks.
DO you think for minute that a
striker could go out along the car
lines without license on his car
and get away with it?" Boggs asked.
'All the police in town would be
after him, even If his tail-light was
out"
Denial of the charge "goes with.

1T is hardly plausible that the
street railway company would be
interested in damaging its own prop
erty and endangering the lives Of
its patrons and employees" he said.
The company was short twenty.

while 31S are used to fill the normal

More Men Employed
The company was short, despite
the employment of sixty more new
men Tuesday. bringing the total of
new men employed since the strike
up to $50.
The vandalism preceded by several
hours the surrounding of car barns
by strikers who stopped each worker
and attempted to induce him to
join the strike. This activity was
carried out at a. m.

degree, Boggs said. because OF po.

told to 'move along" Boggs said.
Four youths and three striking
