question should be discharged, removed to

LABOR TROUBLES.
Strike of Labor Men,

CHICAGO. June 24.-Sixty-six Of the switch
men employed by the Lake Shore road in al
the Chicago yards struck yesterday after
noon by order of the union. Business is
practically at a standstill. The question al
issue now is the terms Of settlement made
two months ago on the conclusion ofsthat
strike The company now holds that its
managers did not make the promises which
the men have supposed.
About 3 o'clock an effort was made to
move a train at Forty-third street Suddenly
a mob appeared, and by throwing switch
ditched the caboose. Separate sections OF
the mob attacked the train men, throwing
coupling pins at them and kicking and
pounding them. The conductor, Charles
Elkhart, was badly injured, being knocked
down and kicked by half dozen of the as
sailants John Berger, the sw1tchman, was
also hurt. The engineer anq Ii nreman escaped
No arrests were made. The night switch
men unanimously failed to put in an appear
ance for duty.
The situation in the yards to-days remains
unchanged. Regular passenger trains are
moving as usual but etfectual blockade OF
freight traffic has occurred No freight
trains were moved in the night and up to
o'clock this morning no attempt OF any
character had been made to make up any
trains The incoming freight trains have all
been stopped at Englewood and at other sta
tion outside the city, and judging from the
former experience of the railroad unless the
State affords protection the company Will be
powerless against the strikers. The town OF
Lake within the precincts of which tine
strike is confined has very small police
force, unable to cope with the crowd OF
strikers and their adherents. The sheriff Of
the county during the former strike made no
serious effort to disperse the crowd, and in
his published interview to-day he condemns
the railroad company and declares that 1t
has not lived up to its agreement, lntlmatlng
that it offered to discharge non-union men.
What basis he has for this assertion has not
vet been explained. His attitude, however,
taken in connection with experience in the
former strike, has oecasioned surprise and
subjected him to comment Few OF the
Lake police were at 43d street this morning
where large crowd gathered at s o'clock.
One of the Chicago papers of this morning
says that the only attempt at explanation OF
the cause of the strike appeared in rumor
that it was the result of a preconcerted stock
jobbing scheme. 1t was alleged that party
from the town of Lake and the stock yards
spectators had sold short heavy block of
Lake Shore stock. To bear the market in
their own interests, they negotiated with
few of the leaders among the switchmen in
Lake to bring about the strike with the re-
suit that appeared yesterday afternoon. Ii
this be true is is not likely that the strike
will continue for any length OF time.
