Cal., Oct. 17. Fifty garment workers were injured und property damaged one million dol lars today in an explosion which po lice attributed to sabotage growing out of labor trouble. The 11-story Garment-Capital building was shattered by a blast on the lifth floor, shortly after hundreds of ir.en and women workers had en tered the building. Only two victims were seriously hurt, the others being sent home af ter emergency treatment. Forty four persons were treated at the po lice receiving hospital for cuts from Hying glass. Wounds of others, whose names were not taken, were dressed at the scene. Fire flushed through the upper floors immediately after the blast, the shock of which caused damage to several buildings in the vicinity. Under Police Guard. The building has been under po lice surveilliance since a strike was declared by the International Gar ment Workers' union neven weeks ago. Activities of communist leaders in the strike were reported to the con gressional committee investigating communism here last week. Police reports at the time said communists had fomented the strike and then gone to work as strikebreakers. Werkers and police have clashed sev eral times in the last month. Police chemists were seeking to analyze traces of a heavier than air gas found between the fifth and sixth floors. They said the gas was simi lar to T. N. T. The blast occurred at 7:26 a. m., just as employes of the building's two score garment making firms filed in. Elevator shafts were twist ed, inner concrete walls blasted and a sheet of flame engulfed the upper floors, flashing through broken win dows. Glass Showers Streets. Streets were showered with bro ken glass from buildings four blocks around and other nearby manufac turing buildings suffered large losses in damaged stocks, fixtures and equipment. First investigations produced tes timony that the blast occurred when Irving Chavin, Mexican youth, light ed a cigaret as he stepped off the elevator at the fifth floor. Hyman Schulman, Chavin's employer, who left the lift with him. simultaneous ly pulled a burglar alarm switch, as was his daily habit. District attorney's detectives ex pressed belief that plotters cogni zant of Schulman's daily act had filled the fifth and sixth floors with highly explosive gas, planning for its detonation by the switch spark. Sections of linoleum were said by police to have the ordor of T. N. T. Rex Welch, police chemist, said 24 hours would be required to deter mine this theory definitely. World Herald. One Death is Reported as Re sult of Quake Casualty List in Chile May Be In creased as Remote Areas Heard From Damage Heavy, Santiago A violent earthquake which apparently shook the entire Andean slope of Chile this morning caused at least one death and a score of injuries. Apparently the quake caused widespread damage to build ings, and it is believed the casualty list may grow when all communities have reported. The one death reported was that of a woman, a hospital patient, who left her bed in panic and died as she attempted to flee outdoors with oth ers. Another woman at the same place suffered a broken leg. Six oth er persons were slightly injured. Much damage was wrought in the town of Llai Llai, hardly a house es caping some injury. Damage was es timated at more than $60,000. In Santiago the frightened in habitants fled to the parks as they felt the shock. Walls were cracked and cornices fell from a number of buildings. Some injuries were report ed at Valparaiso, altho most of them were said to have been caused by ac cidents in the panic rather than by the quake itself. La Calera, Chile The earthquake felt in Chile Friday caused slight in juries to several persons and partly destroyed a number of houses here. The caving-in of the Serrano canal interrupted traffic also on the rail road, momentarily cutting off the service with Santiago and Valparaiso. State Journal.
