CHICAGO, June 3O.-In an interview last night

antee, given two month ago, that the eight
Objectionable" switchmen OF the Lake Shore
should be provided with other situations
inside s OF sixty days, was given With the knowi-
upon IL" this p promise u that the swi.cnmen thsn
ended the strike. Sheriff Hanohett charges that
the positions were duly provided for the eight
but were suddenly induced by the Lake shore
officials 70 refuse. County Commissioner Mo
Carthy, who was present ct an interview be-
corroborates the statement that the sheriff was
authorized to act for the railroad company.
THE STRIKERS VERY DETERMINED
The Lake Shore strikers seem determined To
make bitter fight. Many OF tie railroad EN-.
press she belief that the strike has only begun,
out. On the other hand, the officials OF the
road declare their determination to 20 straight
forward on the present line.
n THREATENING THE PIrxERToN MEN.
The shot fired by the PfnkertOn guard 1t the
man who derailed two cars last evening caused
great excitement among the switchmen and
their friends: A morning paper says that In
were dozens who openly declared that the Lake
Shore should not deliver another train to any
to-day blood would be shed. One man said:
"That d. loaler who flred into shis crowd
will go TO Jail tonight, and il he shows his nose
OF bis carcass. We viii teach these fellows with
their big guns that there are crack shooters in
these parts, and before another twenty-tour
these tracks " I'm liar" The sympathizers
with the strikers we're very outspoken. George
dalton, the Pinkerton man who did the shoot
Ing, was arrested, and afterwards released on
bail. He was nearly mobbed before aid reached
him after the firing, although his shot went
wide of its mark.
SYMPATHY WITH THE STRIKERS.
The usual TWO car loads OF Pinkerton men ar.
rived at Root street shortly after seven o'clock
this morning, and business was Immediately
started by the Lake Shore company. The entire
Pinkerton force, with the exception OF half a
dozen men, are now armed with rifles, aud q
guard was sent out with every train and ACCOM-
yards last evening, while not OF q serious nar
ture In itself, Is looked upon by the officials a.
indication OF a new source of danger. The emu
plOyes of the packing houses, WHO number in
the neighborhood Of ten thousand, are In thor
ough sympathy with the strikers, and, as they
now leave work at 4-30 O'Clock ia the afternoon,
their presence in the neighborhoOd or q wreck
Is thought to be somewhat menacing TO the
companys interests. The switchmen employed
by the other roads in the stock yards are not
trusted implicitly by the Lake Shore officials,
who are Of the opinion that any one Of them
would embrace an opportunity of turning .
switch under moving train.
