Today in labor history April 28, 1919: Anarchists mailed 36 booby-trapped packages to enemies of the working class. Inside each package was a 6” x 3” block of hollowed wood filled with dynamite. Their targets included U.S. Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer, because he had been imprisoning and deporting anarchists and union activists, including Emma Goldman. Other targets included J. P. Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, and Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis.
