COKE WORKERS COMBINE.
Tho New Organization to BE known as
Federated Brotherhood

Tho New Organization TO BE known as the
Federated Brotherhood
The announcement of the formation of new
coke workers organization. has created more
than ordinary interest in Pittsburg labor cir
Giles. The latest move of the cokers is signifi-
cant one. inasnuch as it will conflict with the
United Mine Workers, which for years has had
the controlling power Of that district.
As outlined in telegram from Scottdale. the
new organization is to be known as the FEEDER
ated brotherhood of Coke Workers of America,
and will have at its head Robert d. Kerfoot,
ex-master workman OF the Connellsville region.
1t is generally believed that the disgruutled
members of the United Mine Workers are seek
ing revenge. The disastrous result of the re
cent strike caused thousands of coke wor kers
to lapse in their dues tC the U. NJ. W. A. and
there has since been a general feeling of dis
content. Among labor leaders the opinion
prevails that the new organization will divide
the ~ ,OC0 cookers and lively times will follow.

CASH PRIZES FOR AMATEURS.
- New Idea by Which Nom Profess1eal
Athletes May Profit.

a New Idea by Which NOn-Profess1easl
Athletes May Profit.
1t is proposed that cash prizes be awarded to
amateurs The advocates of this proposition
are Charles Luscomb, representative of the L.
A. W., and the committee appointed by tine
central board of the A A. U. TO select q class of
prizes to lie awarded at athletic and bicycle
felts.
He believes that the word "amateur" as as-
Piled in many cases at present is out of place
and suggests rather novel way out of the
difficulty. He suggests that the league and A
A.U. form two classes, pay cash prizes to ono
class of men and medals and certificates to
another.
As the matter now stands" said Mr.. Lus-
comb i'll speaking of the matter yesterday in
New York, 1.-The league gives prizes OF pianos.
wash bills and other things which no man who
is an amateur should compete for. In my
opinion racing men would much rather ride for
money than any other prize. From my expert
ence in league racing l shall strongly advocate
the elass system. The league, of course. will
hold strict jurisdiction over cash, as well as the
amateur class. i have no doubt but this will
be the final judgment reached not only by the
league, but by the Amateur Athletic Union"
