IMPORTANT MEETINGS HELD Dominion Ministers, Premie of Manitoba and Provincial Attorney General Work for Decision. . "WINNIPEG, Man., May 20. Impor tant developments bearing upon the general fctrike situation in Winnipeg came to the surface in rapid succession today. Although the deadlock between labor and industrial employers will enter into its fifth night without a de cision, there were many signs that the marking-time period was rapidly com ing to an end. Gedeon Robertson, minister of labor for the dominion: Arthur Meighen, fed eral minister of the interior; T. C. Nor ris. premier of Manitoba; Thomas H. Johnson, provincial attorney-general, and Mayor Cliarles !". Gray all became prominently and publicly identified with the effort to bring about peace by adjustment. Ministers Robertson and Meighen are reported to be traveling to Winnipeg from Ottawa. Premier Norris and the attorney-general conferred with a dele gation of the central strike committee, and Mayor Gray prior to a conference with a labor delegation, addressed a special meeting of the common council on the strike situation. Important Conferences Held. The leading strike development came in th form of conferences between union delegations and Premier Norris and other official regarding the offi cially announced willingness ef the union men to discuss settlement of the strike on the basis of general union recognition and reinstatement of all idle members who were employed prior to the general strike. The question of reinstating all for mer union men is being discussed at meetings apart from the question of union recognition. Mayor Gray told the council that a combination of circumstances had been responsible for a mistaken impression throughout Winning regarding the city's attitude toward the union forces. The mayor said that when the general strike was declared he gave the central strike committee to understand that law and order must be maintained and that no suffering from lack of food (should take place. t Food Delivery Demanded. The result was. Mayor Gray said, that cards were prepared for union drivers of bread and milk wagons and the movement of these commodities was approved by the union men. The drivers tacked the cards on their wag ons and automobiles instead of keep ing them far presentation if the ve hicles were stopped. Mayor Gray told the council thfe aft ernoon that the central strike commit tee had been notified that public dis play of such cards must be stopped im mediately and. that if the order was not complied with the city would use "every available moans foodstuffs delivered. Mayor Gray received tion from Premier T. C. regarding these placards, protested against them would not take further to have, the . communica Norris today The premier and fcaid he steps toward mediation . until - the practice was stopped. Federal Action I noertnln. Whether Ministers Robertson and Meighen, who were expected here on Thursday, have a plan to lend federal aid to any industrial readjustment here has not been announced. Various reports that dominion sol diers mobilized here would be ordered to patrol the city kept large crowds moving through the " downtown 'dis tricts. Late in the afternoon when au tomobiles speeded along the main streets with soldiers arriving "from France a report quickly spread that martial law had been declared. The incident was soon understood, how ever. No official announcements were made public after the conferences of pro vincial, city and union officials -which began this afternoon and lasted until tonight. Declarations made at the city hall and other places conveyed the impression that every effort would be made to continue such conferences, pending the arrival here Thursday of Senator Gideon Robertson, fedoral min ister of labor, and Arthur Meighan, minister""of the interior. Trainmen Ready to Quit. .Passenger service was maintained in and out of Winnipeg today and tonight. Official union publications announced yesterday that the railway trainmen on the government lines were ready to walk out on call and that trainmen on the .Canadian Pacific lines were taking a strike vote. No further announce ment had been made and it is possible that any action by the trainmen will be announced first from Toronto or Montreal. H. F. Lawrence, general chairman of the Canadian brotherhood of railway employes, arrived here from Fort Will iam, Ont., today. He announced at union headquarters that employes at the Port Arthur shipbuilding plant had struck. Voluntary enrolling of Winnipeg citi zens for vigilance service in case of strike trouble was continued today at TURN HAIR DARK WITH SAGE TEA if Mixed With Sulphur Darkens So Naturally x Nobody Can TelL It The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair is grand mother s recipe, and folks are again using it to keep their hair a good. even color, which is quite sensible, a; we are living in an age when a youth ful appearance is of the greatest ad vantage. Nowadays, though, we don't have th troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the ready-to-use prod uct, improved by the addition of other ingredients, called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound."- It is very popular because nobody can discover it has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few appli cations, it also produces that soft lustre and appearance of abundance which i: bo attractive.

Special dispatches received here today from Winnipeg said restaurants and grocery stores of Winnipeg were closing down because the general strike has made it impossible for them to obtain food to sell.

Ruth Garrison, slayer of Mrs. Douglas Storrs, arrived here safely this afternoon. Asked whether she deemed herself sane, she replied: "Can't you take their word for that?" Her eyes grew moist and her lips trem bled when she- saw the penitentiary looming ahead of her. Her bat blew eff just as the guards hustled her to prison. Miss Garrison wore an Jron gray traveling suit with a large picture hat. A cape was thrown Jauntily over one arm, and in the other hand she carried purse. A3 she entered she dropped behind her woman escort and took a drink from the sanitary fountain, then walked on to go through the usual pro cedure of an incoming convict. Miss Garrison rode to the depot and stepping from the train climbed into waiting automobile. Ten or a dozen men. newcomers at the prison, got off the train when it stopped near the penitentiary and walked slowly up the hill. YAKIMA, Wash., May 2. "I think it will be much nicer to be at Walla Walla than to be sent to the asylum at Medi cal Lake," beamed Ruth Garrison, Seat tle girl poisoner, when informed at the depot this morning that she was to be kept at Ihe state penitentiary. "I think it will be better for me there." Mils Garriso-i coolly stared back at the crowd of several hundred jostling to get a glimpse of her as she entered the train which would take her to Walla Walla and commented audibly on the, "r.erve" displayed. When her guard pulled down the shade to shield her. she remarked it was a "shame to spoil their fun." During last evening about 300 Yak imtr.s called at the Yakima county jail, where it was assumed Miss Garrison was detained, to see her. Another girl prisoner was shown them, and they left satisfied they had seen the poi soner. Miss Garrison was kept at a hotel during the stay over night in Yakima. -One - of Canada's most prominent women lawyers is Miss Winifred Wil ton of Manitoba, who took up her brother's law practice when he went to war. 1 '' - " J"S'4 "3 ti I JUST ARRIVED NEW SHIPMENT CHENEY, PHONOGRAPHS Style 3, $150, Mahogany This machine is the talk of the town.
