 Al Zion City
TROUBLE DUE TO USE OF WEED
 BY WoRKMEN.
TRAMPLED ON WOMEN
Men Badly Beaten at Prayer Meeting -Workmen Stigmatized as Tobacco Smoking Ours" by VOIiva.

Zion City, H., April 29.-Rioting, which may result seriously, started here late this evening, when employees of independent manufacturing con- cerns attacked a group of 200 Zion men and women at a prayer meeting. Both men and women were beaten with clubs and blackjacks and a num- Der of them were seriously injured.
 Trouble Due to Use of Tobacco.
 The fight was the climax of a week of trouble between employees of the independent concerns which recently have begun operations here and the church people, formerly followers of John Alexander DoWie. As a protest against the use of tobacco by the employees of the manufacturing com panies. followers of Wilbur Glenn Vo- liva. successor to DoWies authority, have been holding prayer meetings in front of one of the plants, twice each day Elder Royal had just called the second meeting today when several score men rushed out of the plant, tore down or leaped over barriers which had been erected around the prayer platform and drove the Zion ists from that part of the town.
 People Summoned by Fire Alarm.
 Immediately after the fight at the prayer meeting tonight, Voliva ordered the large alarm bell rung and more than ,000 men members of the church gathered ct the auditorium to discuss plans for resisting further attacks by employees of independent companies who filled the streets tonight and threatened to clean out the town. A second clash between the church people and the Independents was pre- dicted at the auditorium meeting where Voliva urged his followers tc protect their women and children from the tobacco smoking curs," as he stigmatized the independents.
 Men Beaten, Women. TrampIed UPor
 Elder F, M. Royal and Joseph Bish- op were the most seriously injured iI the prayer meeting tonight Bott were badly beaten and it Is thought Bishops skull was fractured More than a third of the 150 Zion women 1T attendance at the meeting were beat en, bruised or trampIed on during tht rush by the employees of the indepen. dents. Although Elder Royal and z number of his men resisted as well a! they could, they were OutnUnbered and finally were swept from the larg, platform where the meeting was being held.
