Work Schedule. 4 A bomb was exploded at the plant of the Prima Brewing company at 825 Blackhawk street early this morning. barely 24 hours after the brewery had sent out its first shipments of legalized 3.2 Iler cent beer. It was the first act of terrorism. perhaps by racketeers, in Chicago and probably in the nation directly associated with the new beer.

Police and officials of the company expressed themselves puzzled over -the attack. Two theories are being investigated. One is that the bomb was the work of a disgruntled jobber who did not receive his supplies quickly enough. The other is that it was a warning by hoodlums against their being frozen out of the beer business by legal competition. Causes $1,500 Damage.
