To Return 10 Work.

NEW YORK. March 13.-There was a
most dramatic scene outside the strik-
erS' headquarters in East one Hundred
and Twenty-hfth street when w. l..
Jencks, broken in spirit and unable to
conceal his emotion. mounted a barrel
and addressed 1000 strikers. The lead
er broke down completely after he had
uttered but few sentences and sobbed
outright.
The men became highly excited at
the unusual situation and became so
demonstratiye for and against the SEN
timents expressed by their leader that
Captain Burns. with the reserves from
the East One Hundred and Twenty
sixth street station, charged the crowd
and dispersed il.
When the strike leader came into the
vicinity of the headquarters he was
met by great throng of dsconsolate
men, who pressed him for a speech.
Several Of them unceremoniously
placed him on a convenient barrel.
He looked over the eager faces for a
minute, and his throat moved c0nvul-
sively. Suddenly he exclaimed:
well, boys, have bad news for you.
The best thing you can do Is to try and
get your jobs back. We have lost the
sympathy of the public and the press"
