Los Angeles Times bombing anniversary marks deadliest labor attack
Original: Today in Labor History October 1, 1910: Twenty-one people were killed when the Los Angeles Times building was dynamited
On October 1, 1910, a dynamite explosion destroyed the Los Angeles Times building during a labor dispute, killing twenty-one people. Anarchists were immediately blamed for the attack, which came amid a brutal, prolonged battle between the Iron Workers Union and U.S. Steel. The bombing remains one of the deadliest incidents in American labor history, and labor historians are recalling it on its anniversary.
Why now: The date marks the anniversary of the 1910 bombing, which labor-history writers commemorate each October 1.
