TO COERCE CANADA
Gallinger's Retaliatory Amendment
to the Tariff Bill Likely to Re-

The Amendment Provides That the
Tariff Bill Shall Not Go Into Ef-

ings in the senate upon Senator Gallin-

viding for a retaliatory clause against
Canada, indicate that that question ia
liable to receive. considerable attention
before the bill shall be disposed OF.
Mr.. Gallinger's speech was brief, but
Senators Lodge and Hale both indicated
desire to discuss the question, and the
amendment was withdrawn for the
time, in order TO enable them to make
preparations before presenting their
views. 1t is understood that other sem
ators will also make speeches on the
amendment when it again comes before
the senate.
The Proposed Amendment
provides that the tariff act shall only
become operative so far as it shall com

president of the United States. This
proclamation is to be issue under con-
ditions which are prescribed. When ii

the most important convention, viewed
from the commercial standpoint, ever
held In the Northwest. The convention
Is called TO meet in Minneapolis on the
23d OF this month. The call, signed by
leading business men from all over the
state, sets forth the fact that sit has
long been matter OF serious considera-
tion with the manufacturers OF the
Northwest whether the goods manufac-
tured in this section have received the
attention and patronage merited or not,
and that 1t is important TO take soma
steps to gain the attention OF the retail
ers, and particularly the consumers, to
the fact that in building up our cities
and towns and to give Prosperity to all
the people, 1t is necessary to build up,
increase and support the manufactur-

shall he to call the attention Of the peo-
pie to the manufactured products of the
Northwest, and seek to induce them,
price and quality being equal, to pur-
chase from Northwestern merchants
goods made by Northwestern working
men, who spend their wages in the
Northwest. 1t was therefore thought
best to invite the cooperation and as
sistance of the business public generally
throughout the Northwest and ask
them to send delegates to Minneapolis
for the purpose OF assisting in forming
such an organization. 1t is suggested
that these delegates come from some
local board, such as the board of trade
or other commercial organization.

Two Thoassnd Empiayss OF the Gar Conn

Two Thousand Empioyes OF the Gar Conn
pany Quit Work.
CHICAGO, May 1.-TWO thousand
employees of the Pullman Palace Car
company quit work. Those who went
out asserted that the entire force of
4.300 people would be ON strike before
nighs. Trouble has been brewing for
some time, the men demanding the
restoration of q 80 1-3 per cent cut in
the wages made last year. The officials
OF the company refused the demand,
and asserted that they were running
the plant at loss, for the purpose OF
giving the men employment.
Surprised the Company.
Vice President Wickes and other off,
GERS of the company were at work in
yestigating charges made by the en-
ployes' committee, and they were
entirely unprepared for the sudden
seriousness that the situation had as
sumed. The men marched ont quietly
in groups, and for time the officers
thought that the strike was confined TO
the disaffected few who had decided to
move without waiting for the decision
OF their superiors. What had suddenly
precipitated the strike was not known
as the men and company officers at
Pullman were not known to have had
any further conference, and matters
We're supposed to DO in the condition in
which they were left at the close or the
conference Wednesday when it was
thought that the men had decided not
to strike.
Cause OF the Strike.
The strike, it has been ascertained, is
the result OF q meeting of the mediation
committee OF the board of American
Railway union, which was in session
until q. m. at Kensington. The COM
mittse advised the local unions to take
a vote ON the sui ject of strik-
ing and afterwards heard that the
decision had reached the officers
of the company, and that the latter had
decided to shut down the works at noon.
Rather than he laid off the local unions
decided to 60 on strike. and word was
passed round to this effect as soon as
the men assembled at the shops. 1t
was claimed that three OF the confer
ence committee who worked in the iron
shops were laid of for being on the
committee and this fact also had great
effect on the men.
