 CHICAGO, June 28.-The Lake Shore road to-day succeeded in sending out a number of trains and clearing the yards in the city and Englewood of all freight and it may safely be said that the backbone of the strike Is broken. The first train was sent out at 1915 o'clock. The chief deputy sheriff read the riot act at four points along the line of the Lake Shore road between Forty-frst street and Englewood and the police and special deputies then began to clear the tracks. A few minutes before the train started five of the strikers rushed into the yard and refusing to move were handled roughly and one was placed under arrest. Previous to the starting of the train five or six engines were brought out and kept run ming back and forth for time between For tieth and Forty-third streets as if to test the disposition of the crowd to show fight or offer resistance. A large crowd of men who were lying on the adjoin- ing prairie neither stirred nor manifested by the slightest sign that they were at all inter ested. Probably they were deterred from action by 8 line of officers with Winchesters, who stood on the opposite side of the track. Just before the train was ready caboose was attached and also heavily guard ed steamed on te the main track in front of the regular freight. When the train passed Fifty first street crossing there was a large crowd of men and boys who jeered but of fered no violence. At 1915 p. m. South Chicago was reached and no serious opposition had been encountered. There was large crowd in and about the yards, but a large squad of Hyde Park police prevented even the semblance of disor- der. The train left Englewood at 12:55 and was guarded to the State line by thirty armed specials on board. At 2 p. m. the train passed Miller's station without meeting with interference and the armed guards returned on inbound freight train. A second freight train of twenty-six loaded freight cars followed the first train, having been made up at Englewood. It had about twenty armed specials on board. Two more trains were started east from South Chicago
 After the successful movement of the trains the great crowd which had watched the proceedings fell back from the vicinity of the tracks to discuss the situation. They acknowledged that they had been beaten by the railroad officials and the friends of the strikers wondered what would come next. As long as the guard stood along the tracks it was conceded that it was worse than folly to make any concerted move ment against the company. Threats were made against the police, but most of them the strike were cool, but refused to disclose their future plans. From this time until 5 o'clock trains were made up and despatched from the Forty third street yards without interference. All the freight which had been side-trscked during the first days of the strike was reported in motion and the officers of the road feeling confident that the backbone of the strike had been broken, notified the other roads that they would accept stock for all points tomorrow. Up to o'clock four trains had arrived from the east and six had departed with freight consigned to eastern points. Considerable freight was received from the Wabash road and two trains were delivered to the Illinois Central and Chicago and Alton roads. A train of eighteen freight cars was made up in the Twenty noon, which was guarded by nuzber of Pinkerton men. As the train passed Sixteenth street young man pulled open the switch and derailed eight cars. The officers ran to the switch soon as they had recovered from their surprise, but the mys- terious trainwrecker had disappeared. The cars were lighted and the trip resumed with f,,,f 1,
