Things Interesting to Americans
London, Aug. S-An encyclical en-
bodying the resrlts of the Lambeth
conference will be issued from Lam
beth palace tonight It shows that
the discussions OF the 243 bishops
composing the conference were based
upon the reports of committees ap-
pointed to consider the various sub
jects. The congress lasted from July
81 to August 8. Except in few in
stances, no intimation is given as to
whether the sc resolutions adopted by
the conference were on subjects of
wide difference Of opinion or not.
Among the resolutions passed was the
following:
I'm view OF the tendencies widely
shown in the writings of the present
day the conferences places on rec
ord the conviction that the historical
facts stated in the creeds are an es-
sential part Of the faith of the
church."
The serious decline in the number
of candidates is deplored and parents
are urged to encourage sons to the
ministry and church and provide
funds for the training of candidates.
The conferences also resolved
that the purely educational systems
are educationally as we'll as morally
unsound and that no teaching can be
regarded as adequate unless it be re-
ligious teaching, which is limited to
historical information and moral cul-
ture.
Interesting to the United States

"Scabs and Making Demonstration.

Winnipeg, Aug. S.-Fifty more non
union workmen were taken to the
Winnipeg shops of the c. p. r. this
morning and put to work. The COM
pany has perfected arrangements for
housing and feeding a thousand men
in the yards. A special policeman on
duty at the Winnipeg yards was brut-
ally assaulted by an unknown man
with cordwood stick. A number of
Winnipeg strikers were rebuked by
their executive official for publicly
jbing workman who had refused
to go on strike. They had carried a
banner bearing the word "Scab," and
had followed the man home making a
demonstration against him. The COM
pany has many applications from new
men for work in the shops. They
claim the strike will result in moth
ing more serious than temporary
Inconvenience. The men. on the other
hand, profess to be confident of sue
cess. 1t is accepted as fact in busi-
ness and financial circles that it will
be fight to the finish. There are
no new developments in the matter
of action by the unions connected
with the operating departments The
company is maintaining special police
and men are picketing the system at
all the important points east and

in the Winnipeg general offices are
out in the yards clad in overalls doing

Welsh frankly admits that he has the
chance of his lifetime to add to his
prestige in the ring by doing some
thing that the lightweight champion,
nor any other lightweight, ever has
been able to do-defeat Attell. The fact
that Abe has whipped Nelson once and
fought him to a 15-round draw at an
other time gives an idea of the joo
ahead of Freddie tonight. Freddie be-
lieVes that If he. can win and thereby
make himself the only lightweight in
the world who can defeat the little
champ he will make it imperative that
Bat Nelson give him a chance at the
title.
The preliminaries to the big scrap,
two in number, are of better class than
usually can be staged as preliminaries.
The semi-windup will be a 15-round
scrap between Monte Attell, brother OF
Abe. and Mike Kutchos for the bantam
weight championship of the Pacific
coast. Monte ranks as the second best
fighter in the Attell family, and really
has that good class that entities him
to serious consideration in the bantam
division. He is a main event fighter,
and Kutchos is tackling big job when
he enters the ring tonight. Monte is
clever and also has a sleep punch, while
he has absorbed some of the foxiness
and speed that his brother has used to
boost himself to the top of the heap.
Hobo Dougherty of Milwaukee and
Kid Arcy of San Pedro will furnish
the curtain-raiser in a scheduled To-
round session. These boys fought a
fierce draw at San Pedro recently, and
while Arcy lacks the experience and
cleverness of Dougherty he is a game
little fighter and is expected to make
Hobo get up and dust some to beat
him. This Arcy boy is conner and in
proper hands, with proper training and
coaching, would become a good drawing
card in a short time.
Three referees will officiate tonight.
Charlie Eyton viii handle the main
event, Tommy Walsh will adjudge the
merits of the coast bantam champion
ship battle and George Blake will look
after the embarrassing stunt. All the
club referees, therefore, will be seen in

association tonight. This bout was
substituted for the Neil-Moran match.
Neil having strained a ligament in his
knee yesterday while training. Early
in the bout tonight it looked as if Burke
would like to have the affair over and
once stood in his corner with his arms
stretched along the ropes, actually in
wiling a knockout punch from Thomas,
but the latter was so awkward in at
tempting to deliver 1t that Burke
escaped without harm. The New
Yorker then became more aggressive
and had the better of the bout there
after.
