KENTUCKY AT THE HEAD
OF BETTING FRATERNITY

Berlin, May 27.-The total sum
waged in the pari-muGels during
the racing on the Grunewald course
exceeded 100000 marks for the
first time since the course was OPP
ened, in 1900. This record was
made Notwithstanding the fact that
no races of the first importance were
on the program.
Note-It is generally believed in
this country that enormous sums are
waged in the mutuals in France and
Germany. According to the above
a million marks was bet. AS a mark
is between 23 AID "a cents in Unit
ed States money, 1t means that
about $23S,OOO was wagered. At
Churchill Downs. Louisville, KY, on
May 10, when the Kentucky Derby
was run, over $350.O00 was bet in
the machines. and last year on La
tonia Derby Day about $4,000 was
wagered, all Of which goes to show
that they bet pretty lively in the
old Blue Grass State.

QUIT IN DISTRICT NO. 8

Pittsburg, Penn, May 25.-Fifty
thousand bituminous coal miners
employed in the Pittsburg district
have quit work as a result of dissat-
isfaction over the wage agreement
recently made with the Pittsburg
Coal Operators Association by Off
cials of District No. 5, United Mine
Workers of America. A convention
composed Of representatives of Sc
local unions will be held here to re-
view the action on the Scale Com
mittee. Some of the more radical of
the miners favor the recall of the Of
ficials of the union who signed the
wage scale.
The new agreement provided for
an advance of five per cent in wages,
an increase in rents and an increase
of three per cent. in the price of
Fowder for the men. The miners
accepted the scale, but dissatisfac-
tion arose after the first pay day,
the men claiming that their wages
were smaller now than under the
old scale.
Practically every mine in the dis
trict is closed. but It was said to-
nigtt that a majority of the local
mills have stored away sufficient
coal to last them three weeks.
