Scrim Department.

On Monday, November End, Mr.. Will
kinson came to me with a paper contain
ing the names of those who had never been
vaccinated, asking me to 60 to them and
ask if they would not be vaccinated if it
came to the point, but that it was not COM
pulsory. [ said:
emo; it is against my principles to be
vaccinated, and I will not go and beg
some one else to do something which
would not do.''
At last he had to go and do it himself.
Nothing more was said about it that day.
until Wednesday morning, when we had
to give a final answer-yes or no. There
was just one in our room, out Of ffty-fve,
who decided to be vaccinated.
Yesterday, again. we had to go down
to the office to give our final answer, and
afterwards the doctor came up and read
letter to Unsupported to have come from
the State Board of Health, saying that it
was compulsory we either had to be
vaccinated or lose our positions. If there
were no vaccination, there would be no
work
They begged me to be vaccinated up to
the last minute, and Mr.. Wilkinson said ::
"Won't you change your mind?"
I said: ''No, sir; not or fifty jobs. y

Notice to All Zion!

Now that Zion men and women have
been crucified by Marshall Field & Com
pany, because they would not submit to
the dirty, sinking rite of vaccination, let
all the officers, members and friends of
Zion show themselves heroes.
Now is the time for one and all to bring
every dollar into Zion!
Let people who are trying to sell their
properties, mortgage them, and continue
to work to sell them. Zion must have her
own institutions, her own factories, for the
employment of Zion people
The world and Zion will not and CAN
NOT mix!
Let all of the Zion men and women who
have lost their positions quit themselves
IN noble manner, and All Zion will stand
by them. | should be glad to see you in
my office any afternoon next week from
two to five-thirty p. m.

The next day, Mr.. Harrison said to me:
'You wouldn't submit to vaccination.
would you?"
[ said: "No, sir"
Then he talked to some of the others
Tuesday, Mr.. Finn came around and
asked us to shut down the machines and
go over to the office We went to clean
up and go home, because we had no idea
Of going to the office to see the doctor at
all. At last, Mr.. Finn brought the doctor
down, and he tried to prove the advan-
tages Of being vaccinated stating a few
cases, and also informing us that Mr..
Field was always vaccinated when he
went to Europe, and that he liked his en-
ployees to do the same.
The doctor told us that he was vacci-
mated every year, and that he had been
vaccinated that very morning.
AIUof Wull0 we went upstairs TO the
doctor, and Mr.. Lindsay asked us if we
were going to be vaccinated After each
Of our names were called, he would say,
Refused"
We went back to work, and then we
were called up the second time. We went
in body, and the doctor talked to us for
quite time.
Mr.. Lindsay was at the door and I was
talking to him most Of the time I said
to him:
81 thought, Mr. Lindsay, that you un-
derstood the position that the Zion men
take in regard to vaccination-that they
will not submit to it, because it is against
their principles?"
He answered that he did understand it,
and knew just where we stood. Then he
told me that it was not the authorities here
who wanted to vaccinate us, but the head
officers Of Marshall Field & Company in
Chicago.

We understood that the ones they were
bothering about were the ones who had
notsbeen vaccinated- was our under
standing in the first place; that it was the
young blood in Zion City they wanted.
Then, later, we heard rumors that the
various departments were being taken up
to the doctors ofice-into a little room
they call the Hospital. They sent word
to the different foremen that the doctor
wanted to see the men. Mr.. Hill is our
foreman, and he came and told us that
we were wanted. This was on Wednes-
day, the 4th.
[ went with the rest, and as the ques
ton was put to each one separately when
they came to me said: No; [ refuse to
be vaccinated The one who put the
question to me, said: "Lambert, will
you be vaccinated by the Company?'
understand him to mean the
Marshall Field Company. I answered,
"No!" and then he said: Lambert re-
fused ALI the way through, L had I'M
derstood that the vaccination was being
ordered by the State Board.
On Thursday we came back to work,
and it was rumored that we either had to
be vaccinated or quit our jobs. We did
not know whether it was positive Or not
not until they called us in about half-past
four
We were called up by Mr.. Finn. When
we went in Mr.. Finn, doctor, and two
nurses were there. Mr.. Finn gave us a
talk on vaccination, telling us how bene-
fetal it was. my this must have been
marvellous effort. Is he still iving?) He
discussed it pro and con. Then we told
him different things we knew about vac
vination. [ told him [ saw some very
strong articles against vaccination in Nc

after the doctor had made speel on vac

A Few Questions for
MIR. Finn

Will you please tell us whether you have
syphilis in the Lace Factory or not?
Will you please tell us whether you have
gamblers there?
Will you please tell us how many dirty
stinkpots you have there?
Will you please tell us how many whisky
pots?
Will you please tell us how many beer
pots?
Will you please tell us how many low
down adulterers you have thereq
Who are you, Mr.. Finn, to be running
your mouth to officers and members Of the
Christian Catholic Apostolic Church in
Zion, trying to persuade them to be vac
cnated?
You will find out that you are very
small potato; and what any officer or mem
Der Of this Church ought to do, the next
time you mention vaccination, is to give
you a good slap in your mouth In fact,
that is what you ought to have had long
ago. You are a frst-class liar, and [ am
prepared to prove it.
If you want first -class fight with Zion
come on! And you will get all you are
looking for and a good deal more than
you bargain for
| have some respect for Mr. Wing, Bur-
ton Musser, and old John Darling, but
have not an iota for you. You are beneath
contempt

After quite talk [ told him that no talk
from professional standpoint would af-
feet us, because we had our minds made
up that we would not be vaccinated. Then
we were dismissed ;and Mr.. Harrison came
and told us yesterday afternoon to shut
the machines at once When we were
ready to go home, we went to see Mr..
Finn, to find out if it were final or if we
were just temporarily laid off; but he in
formed us that we were discharged unless
we had a certificate Of vaccination.
MIR. Finn was trying to explain to us
about this germ which they claim can cure
the gangrene with which the soldiers in
the European war are afflicted l. Enough
to make horse laugh
L asked him what they were going
to do about those who had been vacci-
mated and had washed it away, saying that
they were just as dangerous as we were.
and could spread the smallpox Just as
easily. He then informedust that the people
who did not belong to Zion were Just as
clean as we were. (Finn lied when he said
this
They made statement that it was an
order OF the State Board Of Health-that
they had made it, and not Marshall Field
and that it was compulsory. We would
have to be vaccinated, or else go out.
One time we met Mr.. Eddy, who asked
us if we were looking for a doctor. We
told him, Mo- we weren t looking for any
doctor!" (Think Of Zion man looking
for doctor--a low down tool Of the devil

On Monday, Miss Sabine came to us and
asked us if we had been vaccinated. They
came again two or three times and asked
us the same question.
Then on Tuesday, when the doctors and
the nurses came, we had to appear before
them. " (No you did not You should have
walked out. y The doctor said he was sent
by Marshall Field to prove the VAGINA
tons; that if our old vaccinations were all
right, the new wounds would just heal up.

A Message for Cooks

lnasmuch as no meetings are being held
at present, THE THEOCRAT desires to
remind you that you have no business in
Zion City
Zion City was established by the Chris
tan Catholic Apostolic Church in Zion, by
Zion people, and for Zion people only!
You are angels compared with the low
down scoundrels who invited you here!
You know as well as do that you have
no right here; that you are trampling I'M
der foot every sense of fairness and hon
esty when you come in here and insist on
staying here in the private home of the
Christian Catholic Apostolic Church in
Zion!
Some Of your number who have come in
here have shown themselves gentlemen bv
refusing to stay, and packing up and go
ing back to Chicago.
How would you like it if you belonged
to some organization, church or otherwise,
and you went out and established little
private home, if we should come and OBJ
trude our presence and attempt to over
throw all that you held dear?
May God the Almighty, through the
power of the Holy Spirit, move upon your
minds and hearts, and show you the great
wrong that you are doing Zion by coming
into her City, which was built by Zion
people, and for Zion people only, to be
used as private home, as Headquarters
for Zion s work throughout the world!

Statement Made by
MIR. Earl Paxton

On Monday, November End, Mr.. Harri-
son, the Foreman, came around and took
d vote from every one regarding our opin-
ion on Observation-Disclosures we would
submit or not. Of course, all Zion people
refused, and voted against it. Many Of
the Independents also voted against it.
Nothing more was said until the 3rd,
when Mr.. Finn came and asked every one
to shut down and step to the Office We
went up there, and DR.. White gave us
very enlightening CD talk on Vaccin-
alton; which failed to move any of us
however, and we all refused. We were
sent back to work.
While we were there talking, MIR. Har-
rison, our Foreman, suggested that we SUBJ
nit, and then go back and wash it out, so
as to kill it. He said we would be COM
plying with the demand, and they would
not have to lose us. Later he condemned
this procedure, saying it was dangerous,
and might result in blood-poisoning.
Nothing more was said that day, but on
the 4th, in the morning, Mr.. Harrison
came again, and asked each one whether
we would change our minds on vaccin-
alton. Upon receiving a negative answer
he went away, and came back again about
eleven o'clock and asked us all to come
upstairs. We went up again, and gave
our final answer.
We were told at that time, and at all
the other times, that it did not mean dis
missal; that it was entirely voluntary on
our part whether we were vaccinated or
not.
We told them our position, and why we
had come to this City; that it was a matter
of principle with u.s. and that we would
not compromise in any way at ALL
We were sent back to work again, and
at twelve clock the foreman came and
told us we were through, unless we would
be vaccinated We asked him whether it
was lay-of or dismissal, and he said it
was simply lay-off.
But there were many conflicting reports
on this Mr. Lindsay said it was lay-off,
and Mr.. Finn said we were dismissed
We asked for our time and signed up.
We went to see Mr.. Finn, and told him
our position. He told us in bunch, that
we were dismissed entirely, and that the
only condition upon which we could come
back to work, would be to show certifi-
cate of successful vaccination.
GENERAL OVERSEER: Did you hear
him say anything about the Board of
Health?
MR. PAXTON: He told us, as did also
Mr.. Lindsay, that they were very sorrow
it had come to this; that it was not their
wish to carry the thing through, but if
was the order Of the State Board Of
Health.
GENERAL OVERSEER: What did the
Independents do?
MR.. PAXTON: Several Of them held off
till the last minute-till they were given
their choice, to be vaccinated or lose their
jobs
GENERAL OVERSEER: What did they
do.
MR. PAXTON: They were vaccinated
GENERAL OVERSEER: Any excep-
tions that you know of?
MR.. PAXTON: Not that personally
know of,

There is persistent rumor afoat that
Mr.. Finn is soon to resign as Manager of
the Lace Factory and go out on lectur-
ing tour-lecturing on the great (Y) and
marvellous (??) merits (?9?) of putting
dirty, filthy, rotten, sinking matter from
a putrid sore on cows stomach into the
bodies of children, men, and women.

Mr.. Finn said, "There are people among
the Independents, and among us, who are
living just clean lives as any OF you; and
we want to keep this City clean, as well
as you do, and vaccination is the thing
that is going to do ito get rid OF this

SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
DON'T STAY GRAY! HERE'S AN
OLD-TIME RECIPE THAT
ANYBODY CAN APPLY.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded. gray hair to its natur-
al color dates back to grandmother's
time. She used 1t to keep her hair
beautifully dark. glossy and abund-
ant. Whenever her hair fell out or
took on that dull, faded or streaked
appearance, this simple mixture was
applied with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home Is mussy and
out OF date. Nowadays. by asking at
any drug store for q so cent bottle
Of ".Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy" you will get this famous
old recipe which can be depended
upon to restore natural color and
beauty to the hair and is splendid
for dandruff, dry. feyerish. itchy scalp
and falling hair.
A we'll known down town druggist
says It darkens the hair 30 naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell It has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with 1t and
draw this through your hair. taking
one strand at a time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears, and after
another application or two, It becomes
beautifully dark, glossy, soft and
abundant.
