JOHN D., JR., BACK AT WORK.
Tormentors Over Colorado Strike, Silenced Mostly By Jail.
New York, May 23.—John D. Rockefeller, Jr., has returned to work after twenty days spent at the country estate of his father at Pocatlco Hills. Since May 1 when he went into retirement, most of his tormentors under the leadership of Upton Sinclair, have been silenced, several by being sent to jail. Sinclair is in Colorado and Marie Ganz and the Rev. Bouck White are serving sentences on Blackwell's Island, the latter for having broken up the services at the Calvary Baptist church ten days ago. Mother Jones alone remains in the lecture field, and nightly denounces the Rockefeller interests In the Colorado coal districts.
Mr. Rockefeller's secretary said yesterday he is making no investigation of conditions in Colorado.
