DowlE CONCERNS TO BE SOLD
Receiver Abandons Zion City Ideals
for Real Business Methods.

Chicago, Nov. 6.-Under plans re-
Gently formulated by Gus D. Thomas
receiver for Zion City, and his advisors,
there is to be inaugurated soon a rad
ical change in the manner of carrying
on the receivership. Mr.. Thomas feels
confident that Zion City's darkest hour
is past and that rom now on, as the
receiver says in {. letter now being
mailed to Zion investors, the city "will
go forward increasing in prosperity
and in industrial Importance"
Mr. Thomas proposes among other
things to sell practically all business
concerns established by Dowie as ad-
juncts to the church, in order to pay
off as much as possible of the indebt-
edness. He will also give deeds to
those holding leases since the Dowie
regime.
The new move means the abandon
ment of the plan to carry on the res
ceivership along the line of the ideals
existing among the people at the time
the receivership was inaugurated and
getting down to an absolute business
system.

Bank exchanges this week are 81, 37s,-

The adverse conditions prevailing

years, when trade was very active.
there still appears about the same loss
as in October, which is mainly IN the
east and south. Chicago and Kansas

Dispatches to Dun's review, indicate
that sentiment in business circles has
distinctly improved since electlon,

were held back until the removal or
that uncertainty. Many mills and fac
tories have increased their active ca-
pacity, and there is better demand for

Higher Level on Strength Of Presi-

Honest Corporations.

New York. Nov. 6.-There was an
outburst Of speculation in the stock
market today which swept prices to
higher level In sensational manner.
Commission houses reported a large in
nux of buying orders. Industrial stocks
were conspicuous in the movement,
iron and steel issues being in heavy
demand. The railroads most affected
were those which have not moved up
wards before In accordance with the
advance in speculative leaders. The
speech of Judge Taft assuring non-in-
reference with honest corporations
was appropriated as the motive for
buying.

NEW LABOR PARTY PROPOSED.
Gompers' Failure to Deliver Vote
Causes Dissatisfaction in Federation.

Gompers' Failure to Deliver Vote
Causes Dissatisfaction in Federation.
Chicago, Nov. 6.-The forming Of an
Independent labor party by the follow
ers Of President Samuel Gompers is
one Of the possibilities growing out
Of the defeat of Bryan and the Labor
issues" proclaimed by Gompers.
The subject undoubtedly will receive
considerable attention at the American
Federation of Labor convention, which
opens at Denver next Tuesday morn
ing. In many ways this will be one OF
the most important federation meetin
the most important conventions ever
held by the national federation. Pres
ident Gompers will be called upon to
give an account Of his political stew
ardship'' Of The labor vote he failed to
deliver.
When the results of Mr.. Gompers'
political policy are viewed in retrospect
by the assembled delegates, 1t is more
than likely that the convention Will
vote a reversal Of the political program
framed by him and the national ex-
ecutive council. Whether this would
involve the retirement Of Gompers
from the presidency Of the federation,
none of the Chicago labor leaders
who discussed the subject could fore
cast.
It is fairly certain, however that
contest for the presidency is in pros
pect, tho the chances are that Gompers
will be reelected. His reelection, how
ever, would not mean an Endorsement
Of his policy, but a recognition OF his
Sarvices as a trade uniOniSt.
II am thru with the democrats" said
Edward N. Nockels, secretary OF the
Chicago Federation Of Labor, who was
one Of the leaders Of the Gompers-
Bryan following in Chicago. Il can
see nothing to do for labor but to form
an independent labor party, similar to
that of the trade unionists of Eng
land"
