locked in a car and carried against their
will to the coal regions in Pennsylvania
and compelled to act as ''strike breakers"
under threats of being turned over to the
fury of the miners" The men say they
finally succeeded in making their way back

home they had narrow escapes from being

Tommy West in what was to have been a
ten-round bout, and Louis Smith won the
six-round bout from the Kentucky Kid"
after six rounds of the fastest milling. A
few of the spectators seemed displeased
because Hogan and West did not slug each
other in every round of the contest, but
they did. not seem to understand that the
first few rounds of the bout were very fast
end it was impossible to keep up such
speedy boxing for ten rounds.
In the eighth round OF the main bout
Jack Snyder, manager OF West, who was
in the Louisville mans corner. realized
that his man had no possible chance of
winning and, seeing his weakened condi-
ton, threw the sponge into the ring. sig
nifying that West gave UP the bout.
Referee Ryan then gave the decision to
Hogan. 1t was believed that Hogan could
round, for the first three rounds were very
fast, and West received many stiff jabs on
his face and wind. Hogan sent West to
the floor several times. and, after prac-
tically winning the contest, played with
the Louisville man for two or three rounds.
West tried several vicious swings. but
could not land. Hogan had the best OF
the argument from the start and there was
little doubt of the outcome after the fourth
round: When Snyder threw the sponge
into the ring West was tired and weak

Right. of strikers and Employers.

CINCINNATI, Dec. S1.-Judge Rufus B.
Smith, of the Superior Court, handed down
an important decision to-day. in which he
comedies to striking workmen the right to
picket factory when they are seeking to
accomplish lawful purpose and do not in
any manner intimidate or coerce nom
strikers. AT the same time Judge Smith
defines the right of employers. and says
that when 1t is necessary in their business
to employ workmen. the right to do this is
a property right, and when interfered with
unlawfully the remedy is by Injunction.
The decision was written by Judge Smith
in the suit of the Eureka Foundry Com
pany against the striking coremakers, and
by its terms the strikers are perpetually
enjoined from picketing the Eureka foun-
dry in large numbers. The strikers are al
lowed to have one picket at the factory,
who may peacefully persuade workmen to
leave their employment, and may advance
arguments to workmen If they choose to
hear such. If the workmen do not care TO
meet the picket or listen to his arguments.
they are not to be molested, and any at
tempt to influence their minds by improper
means will be a transgression on the rights
of the employer, and may be corrected oy
