ferryboats were halted at midnight
last night by a strike which was
thought to be in support of that
instituted four days ago by long
shoremen. Scores of milk trucks,
bound for New York, were delayed
by the strike
The longshoremen extended their
strike to every port on the At

decision the 'longshoremen are

longshoremen The crews gave no
warning OF their intention, and sub
mtted no demends, according to Su-
perintendent Carroll of the Pennsyl-
vania ferry service; they simply walked
off the boats, announcing that they
were on strike.
The Fourteenth Street ferry Of the
Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Rail
road stops at midnight ordinarily. and
the Twenty-third Street ferry of the
road was not affected by the strike, 1t
was said at the railroad Office.
The Fort Lee ferry, at l23th Street,
which is operated by the New Jersey
Public Service Corporation. also was
not affected One boat OF the Central
Railroad Of New Jersey was permitted
TO operate between Manhattan and Jer-
sey City because it carried United
States mails. Except for these COM
parativeiy few boats, however. water
traffic between Manhattan and Jersey
ceased as fast as the strikers could ge.
pickets TO the various piers.
The tugs and lighters OF the rail
roads against when the strike is di-
rected also Will be tied UP, 1t was SAID.
Railroad officials said the strike had
taken them by surprise, and they could
give no promise of adequate service
this morning.
Huge milk trucks conveying New
York's milk from the trains to the
depots where il is pasteurzed and bot
tied, began to rumble up to the Jer-
sey ferry houses within short time
after the strike was declared. No
boats were running. The drivers. he-
wildered at the situation. appealed to
the police and were advised TO try
the Lackawanna ferry.
The organization which called the
strike is the Harbor, Port and Ter
minal Union. which is said to have
about 1900 members. Deckhands. oil
ers and freight handlers belong to it.
Men operating the ferryboats plyin<
between Manhattan and Brooklyn are
members Of the union and il is believed
that river traffic will be tied up to-day.
except. for municipal ferries. As the
Staten Island ferry is a municipal en-
terprise, it is thought the strike will
not extend to those boats.
Two delegates from the striking
union called at the City Hall in Jersey
City last night. shortly after the strike
was called, and asked permission from
the Police Chief to hold meeting in
White Eagle Hall. Newark Avenue and
Seventh Street, Jersey City. to-day.
This hall is the one used by the strik-
ers when they were cut last winter

MUMMIES FOUND IN
STEAM-HEATED CAVE
They Were Discovered in an Island of
the AIeutian Chain

Peculiar in their way were 10 mum
mics found while ago in one OF the
Aleutian chain, They were wrapped in
skins and nets; but the remarkable
point about them was that the cavern
which, served them as a burial vault
was steam heated In coolest winter
weather it was kept warm by volcanic
fires.
Eleven of those l3 mummies are now
in the National Museum at Washing
ton. They are completely desiccated
1t is supposed that the ancestors of
the present-day Alents mummiiied
their dead. not for any religious reason
as did me Egyptians of old, but be-
cause they did not want to part with
them. Their method was to wrap their
defunct relatives in the skins and in
testinal membranes of sea mammals,
place them in squatting attitude on
wooden trays and hang them up in dry
caves.
Many of the mummies that have
been found are undoubtedly very
ancient; but of the origin and early
history of the Alents nothing what
ever is known Some authorities are
of the opinion that they came from
Japan. At the present time they are
much mixed, radically speaking
They spoke the Russian language at
the time when, in 1867, the Aleutian
islands passed with Alaska, into the
possession OF the United States Then
until 1884, they were left to them
