CHICAGO, June 2s.-PreparatiOns for a
determined effort to move freight trains on
the Lake Shore to-day were perfected by
the officials of the road yesterday. They
were somewhat clated by the success at
tending the efforts of Captain Hunt, of the
Hyde Park police, in protecting the train
which was taken out Saturday evening,
and the fact that so many arrests of strikers
and their sympathizers had been made.
On the other hand the strikers presented a
bold front. They renewed their threats to
stop the movement of all freight trains at
all hazards. Shortly after six o'clock this
morning, "Billy" PinkertOn, in charge OF
a large number of special police, Were
taken to the town of Lake. On their arri-
val they were sworn in rs special officers.
Thirty Switchmcn, to take the place of the
strikers, were also sent down. About q
hundred special police arrived in special

taken to Forty-third street 4 dozen or
more imported switchmcn We're also on
