They Are Not Seeking Market but Retailers Are Seeking Them
 for Their Wares.
HARD TO FILL ORDERS
Manager of the Store at Thane Gives Version of CommercialiSm
 in the East.

Reporting that the large and small merchandise manufacturers of the United States are indifferent whether they sell their goods to To- cal trade or not, D. ]. Giard, man. ager of the Alaska Gastineau store at Thane returned on the Princess Alice last night. Mir. Giard has been travelling extensively through the East during the past month.
 "The manufacturers of the East are not seeking a market for their goods now" said Mir. Giard "The market is seeking them. Before the war started the manufacturers were working against each other dos- perately in an effort to sell their products wherever they were able.
 Now it ia different and the buy CTS are seeking the manufacturers and almost begging to get their or ders filled. It is almost a matter of favor if a retailer is able 10 get his orders filled. The general pub lie has no realization of the diff culty the merchant has been eX- periencing for tho past six months to secure new stocks of goods
 MT. Giard reports that business all through the East is exception ally good, and especially so around the great lakes and in the New England section. He was accom- panied on his trip by Mrs Giard, and by his son and two daughters.

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-At the coming

to further clarity and strengthen the
rules governing the conduct and actions
OF players who pose as amateurs IN

altered from time to time TO meet

denial was hardly necessary since the
need of a general governing body in
baseball was never greater than at

Efforts to bring Frank Gotch and
Joe Stecher together in bout for the
wrestling championship has now
reached the stage where the title
holder has consented to be interview
ed on the proposition. Gotch has ex-
planned that Stecher is undoubtedly a
conner. but that to date he has done
nothing remarkable and that so far as
Gotch can see there Is no public de,
mand for him to meet the Nebraska
grappler on the mat. He explains
that he has no desire to return to the
game and that he doubts il any pro
moter would offer any such sum as
he would demand for match with
Stecher. All of which Jeffries said

SPEAKER CLARK OBSTRUCTS
VOTE ON CHAMBERLAIN
ARMY BILL

By the use of strong-armed tactics
and parliamentary juggling in the
House, Speaker Champ Clark is reported
to have sent the Chamberlain army bill
to conference without a vote of instruc-
tons.
This measure was passed last week by
the Senate, amid great excitement, on
the eve of the Presidents message to
Congress, relating to the German crisis,
and provided for standing army of
100000 men and voluntary army plan
which would give this country in short
time trained army of 100000 men.
A strong element in the House favors
the Hay bill, which was recently passed
by that body, and which provides for an
increase in the standing army to 145, 900
men, and the recruiting of the National
Guard.
Just what legislation will eventually
be adopted, as a result of the situation,
is hard to predict.

STRIKE IN ANTHRACITE REGIONS
IMMINENT

According to reports, strike in the
anthracite coal regions at an early date
is almost a certainty. Efforts to har-
monte the demands of the miners and
concessions offered by the operators
were broken off on April Is, after more
than eight weeks of almost continuous
discussions in New York City, by joint
subcommittee representing both fac
tions
It is claimed that not one of the eleven
essential demands of the miners has
been favorably received by the opera
tors. These demands provide for an
eight hour day, and a new working
agreement to be entered into between
the miners and operators for a period of
two years; an increase of 20 per cent. in
wages, with time and half for over
time, and double time for Sundays and
holidays; also a general revision of
working conditions.
There are 10000 men employed in
the anthracite field, $4,000 of whom
are said to be members of the Union.
Coal dealers are said to believe that a
strike would not greatly affect the coun-
try this late in the spring.
