MAY LOCATE
 BOND EXCHANGE
 IN BRIDGEPORT

The mysterious fence where Liberty bonds stolen in New York City are passed for cash, may be To- cated in this city, according to a re- port which was in circulation this morning. It Is understood that the police are Investigating the existence of such an exchange" in Bridgeport, but the authorities refused to confirm , the rumOrs today.
 It is reported that the alleged fence" in this city is acting merely a distributing center for the stolen bonds. They are brought here by the men who obtain them in New York, and are sent out from Bridgeport in small numbers to various other ''Cx- changes" in the larger cities. The thieves evidently believed that they can make the work of detection more difficult by distributing the bonds a few at a time in widely separated dis tricts.
 Bridgeport being the first large city in New England would probably be the place selected by the bond thieves who wish to get the stolen securities out of Manhattan, is the belief.
 Although the police deny that they are investigating the fence" report they do not hesitate in agreeing that there are men in the vicinity of Bridgeport and New Haven who would act as go-betweens in disposing of lib erty bonds which are easily negotia- b1e

In the Chicago district similar con- ditons prevailed. Nearly all the plants in that region, including Gary and Hammond. either were closed to- day or operating at greatly reduced capacity. The strike leaders esimat- ed that 75 per cent of the 9O,Oo0 workers were out and that in Gary the percentage was 95. Steel company officials refused to concede a higher percentage than 20.
 In the Mahoning Valley district, of which Youngstown is the heart, all re- ports agreed that the strikers had achieved their most marked success. The strike leaders claimed that 55,OUO men had quit work and their state ments were supported by the fact that many large plants were closed, three in particular which employ alone 1G,- GOO men. Plants which were still op- crated had admittedly greatly reduced forces.
 The possibility of the spread of the strike to, as yet, unaffected plants, was more threatening today. At the Bethlehem works, of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation. where 35.O0O men are employed, the union leaders an- nodnced that no reply had been re- ceived to their request for a confer ence with the company officials and that preparations were being com pleted for calling out the workers.

 Chicago. Sept. 28.---Dawn of the second day of the nation wide strike in the steel industry found nearly all the plants in the Chicago district either closed down or working with a greatly reduced force. Labor union officials predicted that every plant in the district would be closed within a few days.
 Labor leaders asserted today that more than 75 per cent. of the workers in the district have left their work. while company officials said the mum Der who failed to report at the mills was not more than 20 per cent of the town of nearly 9O,OOO men employed fin the district.
 Tn this district the strike hasde- voloped no violence. At Gary. In diana, guards escorted from the works men who had continued their emplov- ment and pickets of strikers about the gates did not menace them Some damage was reported as the result of the failure of the men to draw steel from the furnaces.
