 TO CONTRIBUTE.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, July S,-A national defense fund, to which all organized labor and the public in general will be asked to contribute, is the latest propo- sition placed on foot to help the strik- ing anthracite coal strikers if they need assistance in their struggle. Harry White, of New York, secretary of the National Garment Workers, and mem Der of the conciliation committee of the National Civic Federation, held long conference with President Mitchell to- day, during which the plan was ap- proved by the miners chief and Secre- tary White, and they will at once begin preparations to carry it out. President Mitchell wants it understood, however, that the Miners union will accept no aid until their own resources are ex- hausted MT. White came here author ized by several labor organizations to place the matter before President Mitchell. MT. White gave out the fol- lowing statement:
 "Efforts will also be made to originate movement throughout the country so | that the unions and others may be pre- pared to collect funds when the time is propitious.
 Public men will also undertake an independent movement and solicit sub scriptions from those not connected with labor organizations This move ment will be inaugurated in New York city, and the labor organizations and sympathizers in all the principal cities of the country will be called on to ap- point committees to carry on similar work. The plan has the approval Of President Samuel Gompers, and 1t will be presented before the executive coun- ! cil of the American Federation of Labor
 for endorsement at it's sessions which open in San Francisco next week.
 "Of course, it is understood that the
 entire plan is contingent upon the ln- dianapolis convention of mine workers
 voting down motion for general strike, as in that event the aid which the soft-coal miners will be able to rem der would be cut off, as it would be out of the question to try to maintain the vast number of people who would be involved"

Scores of the Men Who Rode from Bos-
 to New York.

New York, July S.-Of the thirteen survivors of the Metropole Cycling clubs motor bicycle endurance run from Boston to New York, July and 5, seven finished with perfect scores of 1000 points each and thereby earned gold medals denoting the highest pos sibIe award, two others obtained blue ribbons for coming within 50 points of the winning score, one red ribbon for earning within 100 points and one other a yellow ribbon for 150 points of the leaders total.
 All survivors who failed to obtain gold medals will secure bronze medals commemorative of the event, which was the first of the sort ever conducted.
 The result surprised even the pro- moters. While they thought it possible that two or three men might earn per feet scores, that more than that num- Der would do so was considered hlghly improbable. No points were lost by any survivor because of the replacement Of any part for which a penalt. was card ed. The vital parts of each machine were marked for identification before the start and all came through with the marks intact. The contest was scored on basis of 100 points for each control or checking station, of which there were ten. Each man was re- ouired to arrive within prescribed lim- it's, there being a penalty of one point
 for each minute that he fell behind the slowest time allotted him. The scores as announced to-day by the committee are as follows:
