Wall Street Explosion Blamed on Laborers Seek Revenge
New York Evening World asserts the Wall Street blast that killed 39 and injured 150 stems from resentment against Robert P. Brindell, head of the Building Trades Council, and claims a motive to strike at him. Police identify the horse shod by a blacksmith and seek the man who brought the animal to transport the explosives. The paper suggests the bomb was intended to hit Brindell or his workers in the Stock Exchange Annex, linking the act to a “building trust” inquiry while denying union blame as an institution.
