Description: 11/14/1968: A bomb was tied to the underside of a Domtar truck near the strike-bound Domtar corrugated products division on Molson St. Two of Domtar's mills in the Eastern Townships had been occupied ten days earlier by armed strikers. A telephone warning to a local radio station enabled police to defuse the device. The bomb consisted of eight sticks of dynamite attached to a timing device and was capable of causing considerable damage. It was discovered at 7:00 a.m. and was set to go off at 1:00 p.m.
