Xet a .jiiine of glass remained unbroken in these houses. The explosion is believed te have been the work of persons In sympathy with the shepmen s strike. Kallread and city police were seen en the scene, but the culprits had fled before their arrival and thev were un able te make any nrre.sts nt that time but arrests are expected Inter In the day. The bridge comprises n sixty-feet pan. 1 lie girders were net damaged. When the explosion occurred two rallrend policemen, stationed en Van Dcvcr avenue, two blocks nway, hur ried te the scene, but could see no one In the vicinity of the bridge except n few excited neighbors who hnd been aroused by the noise.

A detail of city police was jilse sent te the scene. Hy the time they nrrlved hundreds of persons who were aroused from their .lumbers were running toward the structure. Search was made for bits of n bomb, but they were net found. A train, due te cress the bridge nt 2:."0, was halted till the structure could be examined. Tlie police were unable te discover whether the outlaws u'-ed a bomb or a etick of dynamite, as there was evidence te show, though the police were inclined te believe n bomb was used.

Chicago nnrt Alten Provides Test The receivership of the Chicago nnd Alten Itniliend, filed yesterday in Fed fial District Court, was viewed today by a high Federal official in clese touch with railroad affairs as one means of relief from strike troubles. It would place the read under Federal supervis ion, this official pointed out. The read was declared te have a to tal indebtedness of $11,01)0,000 In the statement of attorneys, of the read. It also had difficulties with strikers at sev eral points, but these troubles, except with the striking shepmen, have been cleared away. However, the (iovem (ievem ment official here said that, under re ceivership, any nets of strikers against the rend could be considered as directed against "the Government nnd would pro vide a test of such Government super vision, W. O. Werd, president of the, Chi cago and Alten, wns expected te arrive In Chicago today and confer with W. W. Wheeleck, local attorney who, with Mr, Illerd, wns named one of the joint rtcclvers. W AY UNION OUTLINES "LIVING WAGE" IDEAS Chicago, Aug. 31. (H.v A. P.) Pursuing the efforts of the Maintenance of Way Ilrotherliend te base Its pleas for increased minimum wages en a "llvlng-wnge" principle. W. ,T. I.nuck. union stntltlcinn. tedny before the Ilnilread Laber Heard testified that what he termed the "living wnge" If established in nil branches of American Industry would mean nn increase In wages of from 22 te 31 per cent. A 22 per cent Increase, Mr. I.nuck said, would enlv raise te nn annual wage of SlftOO thofe workers new re ceiving less than that sum. This would Increase the cost of living 14 per cent, but he declnred the increased financial burden would be offset by ether fac tors. As against the SM, 000 .000, 000 which the witness said labor had received In wages In 1018. Mr. lifiuck said capital In that venr hnd received a return of $28,000,000,000. Attorney Aronsen. representing the New Yerk Central lines, snld that the witness' statistics indicated Ifchat the "living wage" Mr. I.auek spoke of would Increase wages ."511.300.000,000 nnd that the increase te the railrendM would amount te about $1,300,000,000. Mr. Lnuck said that the added finan1 elal burden from the "living wage" would be offset by the "efficiency of labor and the lncrense of American cap ital." nnd that labor would be stabil ized, "-tj "The laboring mnn would be better housed, better fed nnd would nnturully be healthier," the witness continued, "lie would net lese any time from his work and he would be able te save." Ills suggestion that capital would be lnerenscd lie explained by Raying thnt out of their savings the empleyes would Invest In Industry. Absences from work en account of sickness and migra tion of labor .would be materially les sened under the "living wage," Mr. Lnuck said. Kmphntle denial of charges that he is serving net only ns a member of the United Stntes Railroad Laber Heard, but also ns president of the striking shop crafts' organization, wns made to day by O. A. Wharten, one of the three labor members of the beard. Mr. Wharten made the retort when Informed of n dispatch saying the charges would be contained in nn nrtl cle In the September 2 issue of a New Yerk magazine, quoting another mem ber of the Federal arbitration body ns saying "the shepmen's strike wns en gineered from inside the Lnber Heard." Mr. Wharten wns president of the railway cmplejes' department of the American Federation of Laber from 1012 te 1020, when he was nppeintcd te the Lnber Heard. He snld he wns re-elected president nt the union's con vention Inst April, but that his re election was merely a formal tribute In npprcclatien of pnst services and thnt it was understood he wns net te serve. It also Is charged, nccerdlng te the rejiert, thnt Albert Phillips, another lfiber member of the benrd, is vice presi dent of the Hrotherheod of Locomotive Firemen nnd Knginemen. Mr. Phillips is nt present In Cnlifernln. MINE TIPPLES DYNAMITED; BARN BURNED, MINER SHOT Violence Flares Up Again In Con Cen nellsvllle Coke Region Pittsburgh, Aug. 31. (Hy A. P.)
