Penitent.

Forty-Seyen teamSterS, who, because
they were not allowed to beat mules,
struck last week, and practically pun
an end to hauling of brick from the
New Washington Brick Company yards,
today decided that three meals daily are
more essential to the human body thar

and, hungry and penitent, they returned
in body, to the brick yard where they
begged for their old jobs.
Twenty-Five were re-engaged- The re-
mainder will have to look elsewhere for
employment.
Strike Humorous.
The strike, one of the most humorous,
and, for q time, one Of the most enec-
tive on record. was inaugurated as a
result of the frequent docking OF the
men for beating and otherwise' NAL
treating the mules of the company. .
The men also complained bitterly oe
being forced to walk their teams,
whether the wagons were loaded or
empty. The agitation spread among the
negroes until, on Thursday. March 2S,
forty-seven of the fifty-three teamsters
employed by the company walked TO the
window of the Office, and demanded that
their time be made out.
Their action suspended all hauling OF
brick for the rest of that day. The SIN

strikers feared that they would be at
