Brooklyn, Jan. q. - There Is no
change in the street car strike. Both
sides express confidence. A dozen men
are said to have applied for reinstate-

A dynamite cartridge exploded in
front of 476 Myrtle avenue. Many
windows were broken but nobody was

this morning by man who brought

we have had during the strike" said
Master Workman Thomas Murray to
the Associated Press reporter as he
entered the strikers headquarters.
IF you will sit down here for while
I will show you why we are SO much
encouraged. We are getting the new
men away from the railroad company
as fast as they arrive. This morning
we induced twenty new men to leave
their posts at Ridgewood, and SO far
to-day we have rescued thirty men at
the other end Of the line, to say moth
ing Of the number we stopped before
they reached this side Of the river
from New York. We nave done oil
this, remember, without any violence
or intimidation, and the new corners
have in every case yielded willingly.
We bring them to our headquarters,
warm and feed them and furnish a
ticket to return home, no matter how
far away they may live. They have
been deceived in coming here. They
claim they knew nothing Of the strike,
but after getting to Brooklyn they are

Some of them forfeit what money the
company owes them and are glad to
get off a, easily as that

OF the railroad officials.

"Do you look out for passengers ON
