O'Clock this morning, at that hour 250 po-
lice and Pinkerton men, the latter armed
as on yesterday with Winchester rifles.
took possession of the Forty-third street
switching yards. BY 9 O'Clock two long
freight trains had been made up and
started south carry ing armed gnards, but
met with no molestation. At l0;0S O'Clock
Pinkerton squad accompanied q
switch engine to the Union stock yards to
get a train OF live stock.
J0hn Odar, a prominent member of the
Switchmen's Mutual Association says:
Our association has nothing to do with
this strike. 1t did not inspire il, has no
| sympathy for it, and is opposed to It,.
There may be some members Of the asso-
citation among the strikers, but they are
acting for Themselves and not by the ad-
vice or sanction OF the association"
SENDING OUT TRAINS.
At noon trains we're being made up at
both Forty-third street and the Engle-
wood yards, and were being sent out as
usual. Each train was being guarded by
ten or twelve PinkertOn men, who were
armed with Wincbesters. The strikers
gave the Root street crossing wide berth,
and but few OF them were 10 be found in
the vicinity. A freight train was made
up at the stock yards during the fore
noon and was sent east without any in
reference.
MEETING OF THE swITCHMEN.
The Lake Shore switchmen met last
evening. The subject of hiring legal tai
ent to- defend the strikers was placed in the
hands Of a committee, with Instructions
TO hire the best man in the city. 1t was
proposed at first to boycott all
the roads handling Lake Shore
freight, but, after some discus
sion. it was decided not to take such
measures A committee appointed to
interview Sh1riff Hanchett reported that
be seemed friendly toward them.
In an interview u hiished this morning
Sheriff Hanchett says, IN reDly 10 asser-
tions made by the railroad ofiiciais, that
he had neglected bis duty; that after the
injunctions against some seventy of the
principal strikers were secured, he called
upon President Newell and requested
him to inform him Of the places Of resi-
dence OF the strikers so that he could
serve the writs upon them, and President
Newell positively refused to furnish him
with such list.
THE STRIKE DENOUNCED.
Rock ISLAND, LII, June 29.-At a
m eeting OF the Rock Island Division No.
LOG, OF the Order of Railway Conductors,
a preamble and TesOlutiOns.wOre unSni-
mOusly adopted declaring it to be their
belief that the demands OF the striking
switchmen in Chicago are unjust and uu-
reasonable, and that in inaugurating the
present strike they have lost all claims
upon the companies as employees, and ex-
pressing sympathy for the different COM
panies and cOmmendation Of the course
they have taken.
TRAIN WRECKED.
Excitement over the Lake Shore strike
was renewed this evening by a success
full attempt to wreck train. number
OF empty stock cars had been moving
| from SiXty-third street TO the yards TO be
loaded with cattle. The apparent aban-
| donment OF active hOstilitles by the strik-
ers had caused the vigilance OF the guards
! 70 be relaxed. just as a train had left the
Lake Shore track protected by an injnnc-
ton and entered the territory Of the stock
| yards, man made a dash at a switch,
were ditched. A rifle shot rang out as one
OF the PinkertOn men took shot at the
disappearing man. The shot was inef-
| fectual and the man escaped. Tie was
recognized and will probably be arrested.
No further attempt was made TO interfere
with trains and the cars were soon re-
moved TO the track and proceeded 20 their
destination. There are grave fears OF Sc
riOus trouble at the stock yards. The
strikers there are apparently bent upon
causing tae Lake Shore as much trouble
as possible.
During the day the company sent ou
nine freight trains. At EnglewOOd four
engines were switching all day without
molestation.
