BOMB OUTRAGES IN PARIS
WORK OF EXTREMISTS IN MOTOR INDI'STUY PARIS, September 12. Bombs exploded simultaneously at 10.5 p.m. on Saturday at the headquarters of the Employers' Federation and at the Industrie Metallurgique, near the Arc de Triomphe, wrecking both. The falling masonry fatally crushed two policemen on the pavement. It appears that in each case a messenger left a parcel addressed to the vice-president. It is now ascertained that the parcels contained high explosives with clockwork. A meeting was stated to have been arranged by the Employers' Federation for 10 p.m., but it was postponed. It is believed that the outrages are the work of extremist employees of a motor works where there is a strike which the Employers' Federation has been endeavouring ♦o settle.
