The Indifferent attitude of the Dominjon Government is a puzzle. Urgent wires have been sent to the Government to take some action, but the reply has always been that {nothing can be done," that the De- | partment of Labor is not for settling |strikes, but to preverft them, A Gigantic Upheaval Planned. Fort William, May 20.--BEfforts are being made to have the railway trainmen join the Winnipeg strike, and there are some prospects they will succeed. The directors of banks are recommending that the offices be closed until the outlook is safer. If this gets to the councils of the strikers there will be a stampede for funds, and if the banks refuse [to honor accounts the strike com- mittee will step in and take posses- sion of the banks' funds. There is no limit to what the strike committee will endeavor to do. They have had good success so | far.

Rome, May 20.--The Right Rev. Charles F. Anderson, bishop of Chi- cago, the Rt. Rev. Boyd Vincent, bishop of Southern Ohio, and Bishop Reginald Heber Wellen, of the dio- cese of Fond-du-Lac, Wis., promin- ent figures in the Protestant Episco- pal Church in the United States, were recéived by Popé Benedict Fri- day. Monsignor Coretti, Secretary' for extraordinary affairs, at the Vati- cam, acted as interpreter. The Pon- Uff was most cordial to) the visiting prelates and thanked thém for their call, \. Before seeing the Pope, the Ameri- cans had a long talk with Cardinal Gasparri, Papal Secretary of State. During the interview, the Cardinal said; "Rather than a fe-undon of the Christian churches, the Holy. See alms at the unity of the churches, which, in the opinion of Rome, can only occur dy all returning to the Catholic church." Pope Benedict told the visiting clergymen that it was not possible for the Catholic Church to take part in the proposed world conference. The Pope said that as 'successor to St. Peter, the vicar of Christ 'has no greater desire than there should be but one fold and one shepherd." He added that the teaching and prac tice of the Catholic Church, "regard- ing unity of the visible church is well known to everyone, and, there- fore, it would be nat possible for the Catholic Church to participate in the proposed conference." The Pope explained that he in no- wise wished to disapprove of the par- ticipation in the conference of those who are not united to the chair of St, Peter, but on the contrary he earn- estly desires and prays that "those who 'take part in the conference may by the grace of God see the light and reunite with the visible head of the Church, by whoni they will be re- ceived with open arms." After the visit to the Vatican, the deputation issued. this note: "The deputation regrets that the Roman Cathole Church will not be represented in the world conference, as substantially all the rest of Christ- @ has promised | co-operate. Thé preparations. for the conference will 'proceed and the deputation will continue Ms work until invitations are presented to those communions which have not yet been reached." TREATED : TOO TENDERLY The Italian Delegates Are Disy, pleased at "Overs mpathy"" For Viennesians. * St. Germain, May 20.-- The Aus- trian . plenipoténtiaries have passed another quiet day. There was only one conference, a meeting to discuss the financial and food provisions for Austria with M, Chevalion of Paris and representatives of the Nether- lands Bank, who, with Italian and British associates, represented France when the negotiations were instituted several weeks ago at Vienna. The matters discussed had nothing to do with the peace treaty. There is considerable - dissatisfac- tion over the tender treatment ac- corded to Dr. Renner and his asso- clates among both residents of St. Germain and the Italian delegation . The former object that as both the elevator and the flight of steps lading down the steep slope to the village of pecq in the Seine val- ley are in the - Austrian inclosure, they are forced to make a detour of two or three miles 10 reach the vil- lage where many of them are employ- ed in the factories located there, The Itakans complain that French press have been oversympa- thetic to the visitors from Vienna, who,, in itallan eyes, are quite as dangerous and untrustworthy as the FOES ARE off duty, and will line i strikers.

Hawker, who flew from Newfoundland in his Sop- with airplane, had been sighted ofy Ireland, were received " with tha greatest enthusiasm here, where the Sopwith headquarters are located.
