BRICK STRIKERS
 RETURN TO WORK
Only Jupiter Pluvius Prevented the Making of Brick ill the Berlin
 Yards Today.

The backbone of the strike among the brick yard workers in Berlin is broken, according to many connected with the industry. A large number of men have returned to work and only the arrival of pleasant weather is nec- essary for the industry to resume it's former pace. It is reported that over half of the men have returned to each yard and the owners are now making preparation for making of the normal supply. It is not probable this can be done at all yards.
 In spite of the indictment weather, many of the yards started digging clay this morning. Only a handful of the strikers gathered in Depot square, Kensington, today, it being said that over half the usual number employed have left for pastures new, while practically all of tn o5c remain ing, have returned to work. It was reported that none of the owners have given in to the strikers, but this could not be verified.
