ST. LOUIS, March 20.—Members of
the St. Louis Nationals, classed as
“holdouts” will neither be sold nor
traded. President Branch Rickey an
nounced this policy to stop rumors
that some of the players who have ex
pressed dissatisfaction over the con
tract offered them, might be disposed
of via the trade route.
“If a player refuses a reasonable
salary and has any 'lea he can force
me to increase the offering by holding
out he is entirely wrong,” President
Rickey said. “Neither will I dispose
of a player becauee we cannot reach
an agreement as to his contract.”
President Rickey said he would be
the sole judge of the merits of the
contract.

Cooney, a son of the famous short

sires .to fill the gap in the infield.
Cooney belongs to the Boston
Americans and was kept off the Red
Sox infield only because of Everett
Scott being there ahead of him. Mo
ran hopes to arrange a deal for the
young star. Cooney, a snappy batsman
and lightning fielder, was a sensation
with the Providence club before Bos

JAPAN TO INCREASE
TARIFF ON DYESTUFFS
TOKIO, Feb. 5 (by mail).—The Jap
anese authorities are planning to take
legal steps to discourage the dumping
by Germany and Austria of dyestuffs
on the Japanese market. The depart
ment of agriculture intends to ask at
the coming session of the diet for a
revision of the tariff so as to increase
the duty on dyestuffs from the present
rate of 10 per cent to from 30 to 50
per cent. This is intended to prevent
the importation Of dyestuffs and to
encourage the dye industry at home.
Since the war began the Japanese
dye industry has increased enormously
and last year Japan exported to China
about $2,500,000 worth of dye and im
ported about the same amount frpm
China and $3,000,000 worth from the
United States.
