National Affairs: Bombs in New Orleans
Last summer New Orleans' union trolleymen struck against Public Service, Inc., got nation-wide notice by bombing 60 streetcars (TIME, July 15, et seq). Public Service, Inc. won, resumed open-shop operation. Police Superintendent Theodore Ray announced that all disorder was over, that his force would watch for criminals instead of union bombers.
Last week two more bombs startlingly exploded, smashed floorboards and windows of three New Orleans street cars, injured one passenger. Superintendent Ray thought the bombers were jitney drivers put out of work by the strike failure. Newsmen guessed that they were onetime strikers who resented police claim of tranquillity.
