Holy See Decision.

Paris, July 17.-A letter from Cardi- nal Getti, prefect of Congregations of Bishops and regulars, to the heads of the various orders is published, which says that the Holy See has deliberated upon the question whether the congre- gations in France should apply for the authorizations in the ordinance with the new law of associations.
 The Holy See has decided that, con demning all provisions of the law i'm pairing the rights, prerogatives and legitimate liberties of the congrega- tions, nevertheless in order to avert the very grave consequences of the ex- tinction of the congregations in France, which do so much good, it will permit institutions to apply for author izations under conditions specified in the letter.

WeIIsViIIe Plant Failed to Open With Non-Union Men
 As Expected
OFFERS OF FINANCIAL AID
The battle-ground Will Be Transferred To Mckeesport Next Week, Where 1t Is Said Sheet Steel Plant
 Is To Start.

Pittsburg. Pa, July 17.-'eWe have not heard from the other side at any time. in any way, or on any subject since we parted at the Lincoln Hotel last Satur- day"
 This positive statement, made by Pres ident Shaffer of the Amalgamated Asso- ciation this evening disposes of the ru- nor from New York today that the strike has been settled.
 The principal events in the days strike history was the failure of the sheet steel people to reopen the WellsviIle plant with non-union men; the offer of financial as- sistance made to the Ama1samated Asso- citation by the s2.0O0,Oo0 members of the American Federation of Labor. and by the American Window Glass Workers Association; The concentrated action of the association to organize the immense sheet steel plant at vandergrift; and the fact that several of the closed plants are being patrolled by armed watchmen and guards.
 The Amalgamated officials tonight pro- fess grat satisfaction over the results accomplished since the strike began, but officials of the companies, as heretofore, will say nothing. The only man on the companies side who has said anything up to date is P. F. Smith, district mana ger of the sheet steel company.
 The fight he has on at Wellsville is be- ing followed closely by the workmen and tomorrow an open public meeting will be held at Wellsville when President Shaf- fer in person will present the srikers side of the case, and endeavor to overcome the effects of alleged mistatements concerning the late conference. Manager P. F. Smith has been invited to attend the meeting and make statement for the sheet com pany. The entire community of Wel;z- vile is worked up over the strike situa- tion and friends and enemies alike are ex- pected at the meeting.
 While Wellsvflle is the strike center now, the battle ground will be shifted to McKeesport next week if the report be true that the w. Deweeswood plant of the American Sheet Steel Company will re- sume operations. This would afford one of the most trying situations fsfhe strike. It would necessitate the importation of non-union men from other places and the bitter feeling engendered by such a move | would be hard to control
