A labor history post is revisiting the 1910 bombing of the Los Angeles Times building, in which a union-affiliated militant killed 21 people and injured more than 100. It notes that between 1906 and 1911 the Iron Workers union carried out around 110 bombings of ironworks, mostly minor, with the Los Angeles attack standing out as the deadliest.
