Of the house. Mr. Sandusky returned
to the house and entered the front

of the back door. The man was then
making tracks for the back fence He
had no trouble getting over the high
board fence, and when Mr.. Sandusky

Undefsea Liner Commerce to Be
Abandoned by Germany

New York -- Despite the success of
the Deutschland venture, Germany is
prepared to abandon, for the time be-
ing at least, her merchant submarine
program because of failure of the Bre-
men to reach an American port, ac-
cording to reports that he been re-
ceived from abroad.
From an official source it has been
learned that the Bremen eluded the
British Channel patrol and should have
arrived in America 10 days ago. The
absence of the vessel has convinced
maritime experts that the submarine
has been lost at sea. 1t is probable
that he's fate never will be known.
The September seas are admittedly
hazardous and this fact may explain
the fate of the Bremen. There is
practically no chance for submarines
to make the undersea passage in the
winter.
One report which has gained favor
here is that Germany intended to send
several submarines across the sea and
the first one reaching here was to be
termed the Bremen. The losses Of
others, this rumor said, were to be
concealed. This is hardly possible,
however, as the British admiralty is
known to have been disappointed at
the failure to capture the Bremen.

Baker Mill is Burned.

Baker-Fire destroyed the sawmill
of the Oregon Lumber company at
South Baker Monday afternoon, caus-
ing loss of $40, 600, with no insurance.
The blaze is believed to have started
by Powder-like sawdust in the engine
room, igniting from the fire under the
boilers. In an instant the entire mill
was ablaze and burned rapidly. For a
while the entire 800. 900 plant and
many other buildings were threatened,
but the Baker fire department and $50
men worked heroically and kept the
flames from spreading. Several cars

Labor Trouble in New York Extends %

SYMPATHETIC STRIKE ORDERED
Stage Hands, Longshoremen, Bar
tenders, Machinists, AouIders,
Printers and Brewers Aid.

| New York-A strike Of stage en-
ployes, longshoremen, brewery work
ers, machinists, bartenders, moulders
and printers in sympathy with the un-
ionized carmen who quit their places
four days ago, was decided upon at q
meeting Of the heads of their unions
Sunday night, according to an an
nouncement by Hugh Frayne, state or
ganizer of the American Federation Of
Labor.
A resolution was adopted calling on
all unionized wage earners in Greater
New York, Yonkers, Mount Vernon,
White Plains and New Rochelle to
sanction strike ''in support Of the
contention of the street railway men
Of their right to organize. !"
The resolution recommended that the
workers in the various trades clay
down their tools until the employers
are forced to recognize the Garments
union. According to State Organ
izer Frayne, approximately rs. 900
men and women are enrolled in the
unions that were represented at the
meeting Sunday night.
Before sympathetic strike can be
declared. however, it was explained by
the union leaders, it will be necessary
for them to call mass meetings Of
their respective unions and put the
proposition to vote of the members.
The delegates at the meeting. it was
said, assured William B. Fitzgerald,
organizer of the Garments union, that
their members were willing to fight
to finish, morally, physically and
financially in the interest of trade un-
ionism."
Officials of the railway companies,
when informed Of the action Of the
union leaders. asked whether the build
ing trades were to be included in the
recommendation for q sympathetic
strike. They were told that no action
with respect to these unions had been
taken.
The meeting of the union delegates
followed meeting held earlier in the
evening at which Samuel Gompers,
President Of the American Federation
Of Labor, and officials of the Central
Federated Unions in New York and
as well as the heads Of car
mems union, were present.
Undivided moral and financial sup
port of all trade unionists in Greater
New York was pledged in resolution
adpoted at this conference by the
striking carmen.
