DOW1E1TKS OBJECT TO
SMOKIXt; IX ZU)X CITY
Dowieities aud anti-Dowieities iu
Chicago founded by the prophet,
John Alexander Dowie, are primed
lor the battle to be fought before
the state supreme court at Spring
field this month, by which Overseer
Voliva hopes to purge Zion City of
the vapors of nicotiue.
Voliva will seek to oust the F. B.
Cook electrical company and its to
bacco smokiug employes from Zion
City on the ground that they vio
lated their coutract with the Dow
ieities by failiug to employ the num
ber of men specified iu their con
tract, and by beginning operations
twelve months after the specified
date. This will be the technical ob
jection raised by Voliva to the
presence of the company on Zion
City laud. The real motive behind
the fight is the fact that the elec
trical workers employed by the Cook
company have persistently defied the
Dowieite authorities in the enforce
ment of the ordinance forbidding to
bacco-smoking in Zion City.
For fifteen monhts, the elders of
Zion City have sought in vain to con
vert the '"heathen" electrical work
ers. They erected a little platform
across the street from the plant and
held two religious meetings daily,
regardless of weather conditions.
Street parades were an additional
feature, the Dowieities descending
upon the plant by hundreds, and
several riots occurre-i. Two of the
elders were beaten and lay at the
point of death for several weeks but
the daily meetings continued. The
official press-agent for Overseer Vol
iva paints the following picture of
the daily meetings:
•"There is a humorous and a pa
thetic side to this whole affairs. Hu
morous when one sees the persis
tence of a handful of men and wo
men against a huudred and more
workers, aud pathetic when one
hears the prayers of the old people
on the verge of the grave as they
staud there with up-turned faces, cr
ing to the Almighty to drive wicked
men from their midst and to restore
to them the building which was
part of the city which they came
from all parts of the world to build.
More than once has the cry goue up"
How long. Oh God", How long", and
day after day they trudge down to
their place of meeting across the
street from the factory, like the
Jews at the 'Weeping Wall' at Je
rusalem, and the sight would wring
the heart of an ordinary mortal"
Dictophone evidence promises to
play an important part iu the trial,
if the court is iuclined to let down
the bars and permit the whole row
to be aired The Cook people rig
ged up a giant dictaphone, with a
huge funnel and placed it in such a
manner that the horn collected the
prayers and comments of the Zion
elders, preaching across the street.
These were transmitted by electric
wires to a stenographpr employed by
the Cook company.
The Cook company stenographer
caught the word "stink-pot" ad
dressed to a single worker in front
of the factory several weeks ago.
The company promptly obtained an
injunction. The court lielil that
the L)owie ciders might address the
whole of tobacco users as "stink
pots", but that it could not single
out the Cook employes and address
them by that nam-.* if they hoped
to preserve the peace.
