TO MAKE ROOM
 FOR WORKERS
W. $. Parker Glad Strike Is Over-Will Give Former
 Rate of Pay.

". 8. Parker, superintendent of construction for the U. s. Housing Corporation In Bridgeport held a conference this morning with Martin Kane and other representatives of the local Brotherhood of Carpenters Mir. Parker said that as a result the carpenters were to return to work morrow.
 The trouble between the carpen- ters' association and the master build CTS is over, in Bridgeport at least, . said MT. Parker. For many weeks the carpenters have been idle and many of them have reached the point where it is absolutely necessary fo~ them to obtain employment. I am heartily glad the strike is ended for their sake. We do not need any more carpenters as the work can easily be finished by the 500 men we have at work, but the government feels that the men need work and room will be made for them.
 The hiring will be done by the government as has been the pro- cedure for the past weeks during tho strike. We will pay the former rate of so cents an hour, and will hire solely upon ability to do the work, with no other restrictions.

LIFE SAVINGS
 OF NAGOS CONE
Key Workers Entered Home Last Night Securing
 $2,100.

Key workers entered the home of Mike Nago, last night, and succeeded in locating &2,1oo. which was hidden sn the house. the life savings of the Nagos.
 The matter was reported to the po- lice this forenoon and the detective bureau is conducting an investigation. Nago told the police that o'clock this morning he got up to get & drink of water and as he stepped from his bedroom into the kitchen he saw a handkerchief lying on the floor which he recognized as the one used by himself and wife to wrap around their savings.
 On investigating further he opened up a couch where the savings had been hidden, and discovered the money gone. He states there was S2,1O0 hidden in the couch all in s20 and SlO bills.
 He found the key to the back door lying on the floor, where 1t had been pushed out of the lock by the bur glars. The police believe the rob bery was engineered by professional burglars, who in some way learned of the large sum of money hidden in the house.
