San Francisco bay cities, 10, 900 ship
yard workers went on strike in Oak
land and Alameda. Employees of the

Standard Oil officials.
Government contracts involving ex-
penditure of $3.50, 900, 900 are complete
ly tied up by the strike. AS a result,
direct intervention by the government
is ~momentarily expected.
The strike spread to shops where
machinists were employed. Laundry
workers in 81 places walked out, sixty
moulding plants were tied up, ~ boiler
and garment factories partly suspend
ed operation, and machinists in auto
mobile shops quit. according to reports

GIRL FIRE BUG IS
CAUGHT AT HEBRON

The mystery which has surrounded
the origin of the several fires of late,
the aus of which was unknown, was
solved Wednesday by the confession
of Is year old Katie Meissner.
It is stated that Katie has confessed
to the setting of the two fires in the
Adam Boyer residence; the second one
of which caused several hundred dol
lars loss on both contents and build
ing; the fire of a couple of weeks
ago at the Sauter home and the fire
last Saturday night which destroyed a
hay stack belonging to the father Of
the incendiary.
Assistant Fire Marshal VIM. Olson
has been here on two occasions for
the purpose of Investigating the two
fires in the Adam Boyer home and
his suspicious have been confirmed by
the confessions of the youthful fire
bug. Investigations which were start
ed this week by City Attorney S. P.
Halpern before Police Magistrate r.
Culeman, and which were aided by the
presence Tuesday and Wednesday of
States Attorney Louis Connolly cul-
minated in the confession as above
stated.
In addition to these crimes Katie is
also charged with committing depre-
dations in the household of the Sauter
family which would amount to ma
licious mischief. Also Katie has con-
fessed to having appropriated some
savings banks belonging to the Adam
Boyer children and which it is alleged
contained twenty-five or twenty-slx
dollars. The banks were found where
said they would be but minus their
contents.
The motive for the commission of
the crimes and depredations is un-
known but further investigation will
probably disclose this. 1t is probable
that the youthful offender will be sent
to the State Training School.-Hebron
