LAKE SHORE sWITCHMEN STRIKE E
 Though Ordered to ContInue Work by the Committee.
 1 CHICAGO, June 23.-Sixty-six of the switch men employed by the Lake Shore road in 1 the Forty third street yard struck at ! o'clock this afternoon by order of the union. ! Everything is quiet and no rioting is threat l ened. Business is practically stopped. The ! matters at issue between the road and the ! men have been apparently satisfactorily set f tied half dozen times lately, but are in bad ! shape again-just how bad it cannot be found. MT. Amsden, the superintendent, told United Press reporter who called to make inquiry that there was no strike, but that was all he would say and his manner indicated that the matter was giving him some uneasiness. The switchmen would say nothing. It is reported from the stock yards that the dressed beef shippers were notified
 this morning that trouble was pending and that they had better send their goods
 east by some other line. A heavy down town shipper who wanted to make arrangements
 to send some goods tomorrow was advised
 to try some other route the company
 expecting it's men to go out to morrow.
 The real question at issue now is the terms
 of settlement made two months ago on the
 occasion of the strike. The settlement was
 made by the intervention of Sheriff Han
 chett and Commissioner Mccarthy The
 company now holds that it's manager did not
 make the promises which the men have sup
 posed, but consented only that the strikers
 should return to work. About the time the
 sixty-six men quit work the committee,
 which had been in session during most of
 the forenoon, decided to order the men to
 go on with their work. Messages were
 1rof f+nI o,,l @o oJI ckoA.
 Forty-third street for some reason
 the switching crews either did not
 receive their messages or did not
 understand them and all but two of the
 crews quit work. At the other points the
 men kept at work. The engines at the stock
 different crews there and they began to leave
 work. It was assumed that these men had not got their messages to go on with their work or else did not understand them. Di- vision Superintendent Amsden said at two o'clock that the men at Forty y-third street had certainly gone on strike. He could not explain it. He said it WAS already contrary to the agreement made by the committee It was possible the men had been subjected to pressure from outside, or perhaps they had not gotten their instructions. He could I not tell which.
 The Lake Shore failed to-day to discharge their part of the now famous supposed l agreement and as a result the switchmen to | the number of seventy-ive struck. The l strike occurred at 2:30 o'clock. This morn ing a committee of strikers w8ited on Super intendent Amsden and demanded the re- moval of the eight objectionable men which l the switchmen claimed were to be removed l at the end of sixty days after the strike in I May was settled. The company refused to | aceede to the request, but stated willing 1 ness to remove Wishner and Chaffee, two of l the most objectionable men. The strikers would not accede to the proposition. | When the strike was declared at the | Forty third street yards messengers were l sent to Packingtown and other towns to ap- prise the switchmen of the fact. Two en- zines were brought to the stock yards. l James Berger had charge of engine 33. At | the request of the strikers he gave up his | engine. Berger soon made his appearance at Forty-third street and proceeded to assist | in getting up train He was warned to | strikers and kicked out of the yard. Later | James Billings, 8 new man attempted to make up train. He was also asked to stop and shower of car links caused him to accede. Armour & Go. had eight | cars of beef ready to send out. The en- sineers at the request of the strikers left them behind. Hank White of engine No. 1 366 on the way to the west side was notified | of the strike. He delivered his train and luit. The switchnen intimated that they | have been sold out and some official received | ! poodle. This afternoon the shipping de- partment was ordered to receive no more l stock and all stock in the yard billed over the Lake Shore was turned over to other eastern lines. The dissatisfied men met to- night and unanimously decided to stand out | for their demands w. L. Stahl now of the | sheriff's office, who represented the switch | men in the strike of last May, was present at ] she meeting.
