SHIPS STANDING
IDLE AT PIERS
STRIKE ENTERS SECOND WEEK
WITH LITTLE CHANGE.

New York, July 1S.-The strike OF
fremen, water tenders and oilers
which has held several hundred ships
at the piers here, entered the second
week today. Unless quick settle
ment is reached, it is predicted that
other trades connected with the ship
ping will be affected. Some few pri-
vate owners are reported to have
yielded to the strikers demands, but
their number is considered almost
immaterial.
The appeal of the United States
Shipping Board for crews to man six
ships necessary to transport cattle for
the French government, resulted in
only eighteen men signing up for the
trip.

Two young Rainier girls, one
about II and the other about IA
years old, just escaped being burned
to death Wednesday night of last
week when a barn in a deserted
clearing of the woods between the
Union Lumber company's works and

after the family had left. the house
was set on fire and burned to the
ground.
The barn was located on a place
rented by George Kern of Rainier
and the family had been living there
temporarily, putting up fruit. One
of the girls was Kern's daughter and
the other was the daughter of AL
Burnham. also of Rainier. On the
ranch with them at the time was
Mrs. Kern and a son.
When they got ready to retire that
evening, the girls thought it would
be lark to sleep in the haymow OF
the barn and Mrs. Kern humored
them, she and her son going to sleep
in the house. About an hour after
they retired the girls were awakened
by the cracking of the. blaze and
rushed out of the barn, the roof OF
which fell in just as they got out.

Mrs. Kern had been awakened
shortly before by what she thought
was some one walking around the
house, but discovering nothing, she
went back to sleep. Saturday, the
family returned to Rainier, leaving
just a camping outfit in the house
and that night the house was burned
The mysterious circumstances sur
roLlding the burning of the two
buildings were reported to Sheriff
Clifford and he spent Monday in that
vicinity investigating. Kern says he
has no enemies and knows no reason
why any one should set the buildings
on fire.
