BERGER CO., Anaheir MORE LONDON DOCKMEN STRIKE (By International News Service) LONDON, July 6.—Striking dock workers continued in a stubborn mood today and there were no indications that they would heed the orders of their leaders to return to work next Monday. Five thousand additional dock workers joined the strike today. With the threat of food shortage facing many communities, prices are rising. Some commodities have advanced a third in price in London, which has food stores on hand or two weeks. In other centers where the supplies are not so large the price situation is worse. The waste of perishable food supplies, piled high on the docks, is the most serious feature in the situation. Eighteen thousand men are now out in London, and the total strikers in all English ports is estimated to be more than 50,000. Many stovedores and porters have joined the dock workers and the sit-down youth lost on snowy heights (Denver, July 6.—Two outfits of possemen with bloodhounds are this morning searching the St. Mary's millacier region for William Head, employee of a local jewelry store. Head, with a companion, left Denver the first of the week to attend a skill meet now being held on the snow-covered mountainsides of the glacier. Early Wednesday morning he left camp, telling his companions he was going for a short walk to take some pictures. Since then he has completely dropped from sight. The region in which Head is believed lost, is very rugged, with ice covered precipices and deep rocky canyons and it is feared that he fell into one of these and has either been killed or lies seriously injured at the bottom. After an extended absence, 8 experienced mountaineers, all familiar with that part of the country, were called upon to search for the missing man. Their efforts were fruitless. This morning a call was sent out to Colorado Springs, where a posse of 20 men with bloodhounds was organized and immediately rushed to Idaho Springs, where they were joined by another comprising 30 men from Denver.

Eighteen thousand men are now out in London, and the total strikers in all English ports is estimated to be more than 50,000. Many stevedores and porters have joined the dock workers and the situation is further complicated by the threat of railway employees not to handle any cargoes unloaded by non-union workers. Today promised to be the most critical in the strike, as thousands of dock workers who are still at work are scheduled to vote on the question of joining the walkout. The strikers are demanding a government investigation to determine whether living costs justify the shilling a day reduction in wages that precipitated the strike. Railway workers are threatening not to accept a similar reduction and another great strike is not improbable, altho the rail union leaders are urging arbitration. TREMAN ARRANGES PASSAGE TO U. S.

Los Angeles SECOND SECTION LET'S ALLIES DO WORRYING CHEAP POWER FROM HEAT OF EARTH (By International News Service) SANTA ROSA, Calif., July 8. Forecasting the possibility of huge development of cheap power from the earth's heat, the first unit of a plant which eventually may supply electricity for this whole section of California today had successfully harnessed the power of Sonoma-co.'s famous geyser. The electricity generated from the first unit proved sufficient to light the geyser field where the test is being made. It is the first time, according to engineers, watching the experiment, that such harnessing of subterranean power has been successfully accomplished except for a test on a small scale in Italy. Wells tapping the geyser sources at a depth of 400 feet bring forth the steam to operate turbines, which in turn operate the electrical generators. Belief that an almost inexhaustible source of heat and power has been tapped was expressed when it was found that the operation of the pow- Cuno of Germany and Frau Cuno in the Black Forest.
