Description: "11/15/1968: A dynamite time-bomb was found in the snow beside a brick wall which surrounded the strike-bound Lord Steel Company warehouse. It was identical to the one found the previous day at the Domtar plant, and comprised eight half-pound sticks of dynamite. An anonymous telephone caller told a local radio station on 14 November that bombs had been placed at the Domtar and Lord sites. Before the bomb had been found, the radio station received a second warning call from an individual claiming to be a member of the Front de Liberation du Quebec (FLQ). The device was found shortly after 1:30 a.m. and was dismantled."
