cannot ascertain whether the mes

discharged soldiers and former war
workers since last summer, may have
to suspend its activities on April /.
Dr. George W Kirchwey, Federal
director for New York State, returned
yesterday from Washington, where he
conferred with officials of the Depart
ment of Labor. He declared thai the
failure Of the House Committee on Ap-
preparations to provide deficiency
appropriation to carry on the work
after April and an appropriation to
continue the service during the fiscal
year beginning July seriously brings
up the question whether the whole
service will have to be abandoned.
DR.. Kirchwey said that 10000 men
of the 9th and 77th divisions may ar
rive back in New York jobless, and
if the employment service is not oper-
ating, "a grave situation will arise"
There is danger that our fighters
may have to beg jobs from door to

rightful places in their home commu-
mites" said DR.. Kirchwey.

Big Strike in
Building Trade
Here Settled
Men Will Go Back to Work
at Once and Wage Ques-
ton Will Be Arbitrated

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.--The car
penters' strike in New York was set
tied to-day by an agreement between
the Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners and the Building Trades EN-
ployers' Association. All grievances
are to be submitted to arbitration,
with Justice p. Fl. Dugro, of the Su-
premc Court of Now York, sitting as
umpire. The employers concede the
right of the carpenters to higher
wages, and the union agrees that all
carpenters and allied tradesmen shall
return to work pending Justice Du-
gro's award.
The wage question is substantially
the only one in dispute. The men de-
mand $3.50 for the eight-hour day,
while the employers at 8 meeting !.
November last fixed the scale for 1918
at $3.50, the old rate. The employers
are, it is understood, now prepared to
concede Sc day.

try, including many government jobs
The number of men involved to date is

The agreement to call the strike of
followed conference at the War De-
partment among representatives of the
employers the carpenters unions, the
building trades department of the
American Federation of Labor, and Sec
retaries Baker and Wilson.
On %heir part, the employers renewed
their proposal that the men return tc
work at once and arbitrate everything
They also asked that the emergency
construction adjustment commission
which is to begin an inquiry in New
York tomorrow on wage conditions in
the building trades, be recalled. The
demand of the carpenters was that the

pendent contractors in New York. This
deadlock WAS finally broken by the
declaration of the employers that they
were prepared to concede an increase
in wages.
On this statement William l.. Hutche.
son, international president Of the car.
penters, agreed to arbitrate if an um-
pire satisfactory to both sides could be
agreed upon. Justice Dugro was finally
accepted.
The committees representing car
penters and employers will meet at
once In New York City and seek tn
reach an agreement. If at tho end Of
three days they are not in agreement
Justice Dugro will hear both sides and

clearaway of all these at

Whether one should buy
furniture at half price or
not depends upon the furni-
ture. SO far as quality and
desirableness are concerned,
this is not half-price furni-
ture, it is Wanamaker furni-
ture, the kind on which the
Wanamaker furniture busi-
ness has been built up.
It is furniture of the kind
that has made Wanamaker
