The latter was handled bv Dan Corcoran , Archy Hnd- den and Con Rfordan of New York , while Leonard's Interests "were looked after by Sam FHzpatrlck of Snn Francisco , John Leonard , Prof. Nlxey nnd Young Grlffo. Leonard looked big enough to eat Pierce , who entered the ring with his eye in mourn ing.In In the first round , Leonard got In an up- Ptrcut nnd Pierce administered four good blows on Leonard's ribs. Leonard rushccl his man In the second round , and Pierce was scarcely quick enough to avoid thepo rushes , .lust as the Kong rang , Eddie got In three good Jabs on Leonard's ribs. The men fought desperately in the third and fourth rounds , and many wicked blows were exchanged , with honors about even. The Ilfth and sixth rounds were give and take affairs , with honors sllKhtly In Plerce's favor , and both men wer pretty well done up. In the seventh the men's blows were a trille weak , but never thelesB. some hot intightlng was Indulged ill , and at the close of the round it was anybody's dKht. Leonard rushed blindly lit the New York boy In the next round , nnd once hit him with his shoulder. Pierce \vn still full of fight nnd kept plugging his man in good shape. Pierce did the better light- Ing. nnd when the tenth and last round was ealled he bad the better of the contest , The audience was then roused to the high est pitch of excitement as the men ham mered each other unmercifully , and the referee satisfied everybody by declaring the tl ht n draw. _ Kl-KllltH 111 ItlllTltlO.

A largo nunlber walked out yesterday morn ing and last evening all of the hog butchers at the. Omaha plant walked out , making the whole number ot strikers now about 2,000. "The newspapers have been giving a good deal of space to what the packers have to say about the strike , " said one of the men , "and I wish you would give the strikers a few lines. " The gentleman was Informed that The Dee would cheerfully publish any facts ho had io give out und lie started In by saying that the majority of the workingmen - men knew that The llee was their friend. WHAT A STIUKEtl SAYS. "To begin with , " said the gentleman , "Swift & Co , could settle this -strike In an hour If they chose to do su. A few- weeks ago Swift's beef- butchers In Chicago asked for the restoration of the wages paid one year ago. That was 45 cents an hour. We are now getting 40 cents and the difference Is not groat. When the reduction was made the- men stood It without a kick. When the Increase was asked It was refused and the Chicago beef butchers went out. New men Tvoro put In their places and trouble has been brewing ever since. All the packers are asked to do now 1 to pay the beet butchers 45 cents an hour and put back the men to work who went out In Chicago and other places on that proposition. I am almost cer tain that the packers will accede to this re- finest by Saturday at the longest. "Thcro Is another thing I wish you would mention In The Llee , and that Is that the men who are out propose to conduct them selves In an ordcly manner , no matter how tlie walkout terminates. The workmen will not tolerate any destruction of property or disorderly conduct , anil we consider the swearing In of special policemen entirely unnecessary. Many of us own our own homes here , and we arc as desirous of having peace and quiet as any one else. It Is pretty cer tain , however , that some of the men who bought homes on the installment plan will soon lose them , as they have only been getting In about one-third time of late. " The members of the coopers' gangs have held a meeting or two since the strike opened , and It Is certain that Jionu of them will head up a barrel of product that is handled by a scab. This fact was demon strated nt a meeting of the strikers held at Twentieth and Q streets. During the ses sion a man got the floor and announced that the coopers would refuse to do a tap In their department In. case bcnb butchers were put to work. This Innnouncemcnt was greeted with great cheering. A meeting -wnas-'Jiold 'last night In Bauer's hall which wai attended by about 1,000 work men. The doors were locked to all but work men Interested. Speeches were made by the leaders directing- men and advising them to hold out too a 'finish. Another meeting was hold at Twentieth and Q streets. There are a few moro men wjio will bo urged to come out today , but , practically speaking , all the men are but ' .now. The bosses and the men who will not walk out will work today , and If a settlement Is not made with the men by Saturday the packers will no doubt besln to import imbn to take the places of the strikers. > CUDAHY-'S OPEN LBTTHR.

The place Is prac tically deserted , although there was a small force at work In ( ho bsof and hog killing departments. About iOO cattle were killed yesterday. Acting Mayor Conlcy , who has charge of the hog killing department , gutted about 1,000 hogs yesterday , and says he has a force large enough left to kill enough to supply the. Immediate , demands of their trade. A nee reporter found Mr. Cudahy In his office at 11 o'clock. "This Is one of the most senseless and unreasonable walkouts ' . have ever heard of. The men simply walked out without saying a wcrd. If they liavo any grievance they have not sub mitted It to me. I am paving now , and al ways have be-on. the Chicago scale of prices.

Tills morning I apaln wired Chicago und Kansas City and the packers there Inform mo that they are not haying any trouble with their men. "Of course I could send away and secure men to fill the vacancies In my house In a very short order If I desired to do so , but I don't wane to let * iny old employes go If I can avoid It. 1 will glyo the 'men a day or two to think over fiit 'matter and I believe that most of thehT"wTH coin"e Imck.

COMMITTEE ! . Paul Martin , a saloon keeper , nnd a person who Is not employed In any of the packing houses , lias been acting as spokesman for the committee. Mr. Martin was employed for a long time as hog cutter at Swift's and was nn expert In the business. Mr. .Martin was asked by a lice reporter to make a statement In behalf of the strikers , but refused to glvo out anything to the press , claiming that the newspapers were "trying to do tha men up. " Just what ho meant Is hard to understand , for The Dee has printed nothing but facts , which have been de cidedly hard to get on account of having such men as Martin on the committee , who refuse to glvo out anything to reporters. At Swift's all the men went out In the hop department. They simply walked out without making any demands , but the committee waited on Manager Foster la'er and sub mitted the proposition as printed above. Each man who walked out was given his time. OIUCJIN OF THE TUOUDLE. The origin of this strike dates back tc the Pullman walk-out a few weeks ago. At tluiL time a number of union butchers In Chicago went out. Their places were promptly filled by other man. and the union butchers who struck liavo never been taken back. It Is thought that this iu the basin for the present walk-out. The men who \ver ? frozen out after walking out In Chicago cage arc members of the butchers national union , as are the men who went out hero. The other men who have quit have done HO through sympathy. It Is an admitted fact that about one-half of the workmen In this country are out of employment. The men who have been working for the last four years and have recently struck are now out und the men who have been Idle are simply filling their places. Manager Foster says he has been offered men from Chicago and Kansas City. No Imported men have yet been put to work. The bsses and the men who refused to walk out are doing the work. This makes quite n staff , but of course. If the strike la not settled within a few days additional men will have to be put on or the houses shut down. Even the girls who work In the canning department at Cudahy's are out. Some of the clerks have been laid off and If the strike continues a few days longer some of the government Inspectors specters will have to bo furloiighed. Dy looking over the scale of prices sub mitted by the committee It will be seen that nothing Is said about the laborers who only get $ l.f > 0 and $1.73 a day. Their condition Is not taken Into consideration on the list , still a number of them have gone out. When the scale was submitted to Manager Foster he glanced over the wage list and remarked that In some Instances the t > calo asked for was lower than he was Maying at the present time.Judging from the remarks of the packers , the scale of prices submitted Is perfectly satisfactory , but the clause which reads that the men will not go to work until all grievances have been settled In other cities Is the clincher that is puzzling them. S Allli UKFl.VNT. KofiiHo to Appeur ill Court to Answer In- jmicllon Writ * . KANSAS CITY , Aug. 1. Most extraordi nary action was taken at tonight's meeting of the A. n. U. at Argentine , when 403 Santa Fe railway employes who were re cently summoned to appear before the United States court at Topeka flatly refused to obey the mandates of the court. During the strike the strikers wore served with copies of restraining orders from Judge Foster's court at Topeka , enjoining them from tres passing or molesting the company's prop erty. In addition they were notified to ap pear in person at the meeting of the court at Topeka on August C and answer to the complaint against them. In the rush of the work during the heat of the strike the men were unmindful of the summons. Tonight the near approach of the date caused a discussion In the A. II. U. meeting. Secretary McFadden was finally authorized to send the following letter to Judge Scarrltt of the United States court at Topeka. and It was sent tonight : "Sir : In behalf of myself and other men at this point who have been served with returnable orders made in the first week of August , I beg to say we are not conscious of having violated any law , and wo do not feel Justified In paying railroad fare to answer them In person , nor will we employ an at torney. If the decrees of the court can be Invoked against us with no moro justification than In the present case , then our boasted Justice and liberty Is simply a jug-handled affair , and we will not attempt to resist it. You will find us at Argentine whenever you want us. Very respectfully , "J. S. M'FADDEN , Secretary.
