LOCAL PRINTERS' UNION DEPLORES DtNAMITING OF THE TIMES BUILDING '.'.We' deplore . the dynamiting- of the building of the Los Angeles Times. .It Is unfortunate that at the time of the outrage the typographical union was at battle with the wner of the Times, but I do not see why any onus of suspicion should fall on the union. We feel that the dynamltlg. was a crlmd" agafnsf so ciety, tnd'wjil not be satisfied until the blame Is fixed." ' - .s . '' Tlils v was the statement made last night, by William Daly,-president of the Oregon State Federation of Labor and organiser-of the" typographical union. He said that none of the printers killed or injured was known in Portland. , "Simply because there has been a con test between employer and employed I ee no reason why all criminal acts to ward the one should bis attributable to the other.' Some individual member of a union-mifljitjiave done the dynamiting, but it was not because- of any general mbvement against the Times.. V., "For years the typographical union has been-fighting the Los Angeles Times and the Times has been fighting alt un ions. We were winning out. . I see ho reason 'why 'union men should.. commit such an act in the face of victory,". , I;. .
