Observation-Disclosures
Witnessing Service held in Central Zion
Tabernacle, Chicago.
(W. F. IT,

The General Overseer of the Christian
Catholic Apostolic Church in Zion, Wilbur
Glenn Voliva, accompanied by two of the
Apostles and the semi-chorus, conducted
service in Central Zion Tabernacle, Chicago
on Lords Day afternoon October 10.
The subject of the address, by the Gen
eral Overseer, was, "The Great Tribu-
latlon." Several selections of Scripture were
read and expounded, and certain signs Of
the times notably, the great apostasy in
the professed church of God, the restoration
of the Jews to Palestine under British
sovereignty, holding mandate from the
League of Nations, and the present rising
tide of confusion, unrest, strikes, boycotts,
upheavals and threatened revolution and
anarchy-were referred to.
The General Overseer also bore faithful
testimony against practically every sin in
the catalog, denouncing Christian Science,
Theosophy, New Thought, Spiritua1ism,
Demonology, doctors, surgeons, drugs, pro-
family, dancing, divorce, fornication and
adultery, all of which seem to be universally
increasing.
He closed his address by setting forth the
Christian Catholic Apostolic Church in Zion
and the City of Zion as raised up of God
as place of refuge and training for the
saints just before the Lord would come for
them.

JEWS OF EASTERN EUROPE LEAVE
FOR PALESTINE IN LARGE NUM-
BERS TO ESCAPE POCROMS

1t IS claimed by persons making careful
investigation Of the situation that tens Of
thousands of Jews have lost their lives in
pograms in the Ukraine Poland and Rou-
mania within the past twelve months In
the Ukraine alone, $4,000 Jews have been
wiped out since the arnistice was signed,
less than year ago. This state Of affairs
has resulted almost in stampede of Jews
to emigrate to Palestine.
Abraham Cahan, editor in chief of For
700rd, a daily published on the east side of
New York, says that the Jew has been made
the scapegoat for all the calamities of east
ern Europe-that in the Ukraine the Jews
have been nassacred in the most barbarous
fashion by the anti-boshevists in order to
gain control of their property In Poland
the persecution takes the form of a great
national boycott against the Jews in bust
ness, while in Roumania it is of an econ
omic, political and social character
In describing the pogrom in the Ukrain-
ian city of Proskuroff, which he cites as
one of countless instances, he says:
"The military commander ordered, one
morning last June, his soldiers to line up
on each side of a principal street and then
to enter each house and kill all the Jews
found
''For four days, from sunrise till sunset,
these men went at this awful thing, taking
two hours for lunch and often eating with
hands actually dripping with blood.
"They did the killing by cutting their
victims throats or stabbing them to DEATH
'The women were often violated
'The first two days they killed 900 per-
sons, 1000 being put to death in all that
week"

SHANTUNG AMENDMENT MEETS
DEFEAT

BY vote of S. to IS, the foreign relations
committee amendment to the peace treaty,
demanding that Japan restore Shantung to
China, was defeated in the United States
Senate, on October 10.
Senator Lodge, Republican leader, i'm
mediately gave notice that he would offer a
motion to wipe all reference to Shantung
from the treaty, thus relieving the United
States of responsibility in the matter. 1t
is claimed that fourteen Republicans voted
against the amendment, all Of whom de-
clared they would insist upon reservation

RUSSIAN SOVIET GOVERNMENT
HARD PRESSED, SAYS REPORTS

Various foreign reports have appeared
during the past week, to the effect that the
collapse of bolshevism in Russia unless
saved by the Intervention of winter, was
considered imminent. One report says:
"Along vast fronts, approximating more
than 200 miles, armies estimated at 5OO,-
600 men are battling in a desperate effort
to overthrow the Bolshevik forces. Boil
shevist armies, estimated at between $780,
900 and 100000 in strength, are fighting in
the last ditch"
Another report says:
"Forced back by the onslaughts of enc
mics on four fronts, the armies of the soviet
government of Russia appear to be facing a
period threatening disaster. General Den
ikins Cossacks from the South, Polish
forces from the West, northwestern Russian
legions on the Northwest and northern
Russian troops from the North have, during
the last few days, forged ahead, until it
seems bolshevist armies are between the
upper and neither millstones"
Still another report declares that Petro-
grad is virtually isolated, anti-bolshevist
cavalry having cut the railroads leading
from Petrograd to Vitebsk, Moscow and
Vologda.
Just to what extent these reports are
colored, cannot be determined For the
past two years, the public has been fed on
foreign dispatches predicting the overthrow
Of Lenine and Trotsky.

AMERICAN EXTRAVACANCE

Arthur Brisbane, writing in the Chicago

as usual, heavily upon the poor
"Here cost of living, furniture and other
things is also up. But this does not dis

Through London alone, in the nine
months ending last September, Americans

more than twenty-seven million dollars
worth of diamonds and other precious
stones, double the amount bought in the
same period a year ago. And in those nine
months America bought from London more
than ten million dollars worth of furs

BOTH SIDES HOLDING OUT in
STEEL STRIKE

The steel strike entered it's fifth week on
October 20, with both employers and labor
unions marking time. The operators said
that in some districts the strike was broken.
On the other hand, John Fitzpatrick, presi-
dent of the Chicago federation, declared
that the strike was won, that they were
entering the fifth week with fifty per cent
more men on strike than in the second week.
Fitzpatrick added that the platform of
the whole country had been bought by the
United States Steel Corporations money
and that few publications or public men had
failed to denounce the strikers

PACKERS TRYING TO RULE
GROCERY TRADE, SAYS
FEDERAL BOARD

The broad charge is made in the Federal
Trade Commissions report, published Oct
ober 10, that the five big packing companies
of Chicago bid fair to dominate the whole
sale grocery trade, and that they already
handle more than two hundred foods un-
related to the meat packing industry
Included in the list of commodities said
to be falling under control of the "big
five" are poultry game, dairy products, lard
and butter substitutes, canned and dried
vegetables and fruits, canned and frozen
fish, cocoa, coffee, nolasses, cane, corn and
maple syrups, evaporated and condensed
milks, and cereal and breakfast foods.

GENERAL COAL STRIKE LOOMS

The order calling union bituminous coal
miners of the country to cease production
of coal at midnight on Friday, October 81
was issued from the international head
quarters of the United Mine Workers of
America, on October IS.
Two days later, representatives of both
miners and operators met Secretary of
Labor Wilson in Washington but after an
all-day conference, both sides remained firm
in their determination not to yield. The
miners declared that the strike order would
not be rescinded unless operators met all
demands, including the 5-day week. The
operators, on the other hand, said they
would not negotiate any demand for a g.
hour day, and that they would not deal
with the unions unless the strike order was
withdrawn.
The secretary of labor then invited them
to have their full scale committees meet
him in Washington on Tuesday, October 21
was the general view that nothing would
come of the meeting. The conference end
ed in deadlock, as anticipated.
While the conference was in session,
u. S. senators and federal agents were busy
looking up the law to see if anything could
be done by the government to save the
country from the distress which will result
from a coal strike.
John L. Lewis, President of the United
Mine Workers, in stating his position, says
that more than year has elapsed since the
Washington wage agreement, negotiated as
war measure, expired with the cessation
of hostiities, and it is therefore no longer
binding The operators, contend that war
with the central powers will not be at an
end until the peace treaty is ratified and the
President has issued proclamation declar-
ing that hostilities have ceased.
That general coal strike, if continued
any great length of time, will paralyze in
dustry and cause untold suffering, is evil
dent 1t is claimed that coal consumers in
the middle West have an average of three
weeks supply on hand.
An editorial writer remarks that if the
strike comes off, it is believed that railroad
trains in the affected territory will cease to
run within ten days thereafter. On the
other hand, if the strikers demands are met
it is estimated by the best authorities that
the output of coal will be permanently cut
in two and that its cost will be greatly in
creased.

ITALIANS PREPARING TO
EMIGRATE TO AMERICA

A dispatch from Naples says that an un-
usual rush of emigrants toward America is
in progress. Two thousand Italians applied
for passports the first fortnight of October.
The increase of available ships and the re-
moval of restrictions are given as the cause
Simultaneous with this, is the fact that
the national House of Representatives, last
week, unanimously passed bill which would
extend for one year the wartime regu-
lations on the issuance of passports.

LABOR FARLEY SHAKEN BY CLASH

That the industrial conference called by
President Wilson at Washington, and upon
which the commercial world has looked
with such bright hopes, will meet with fail
ure in its general purposes, seems probable.
The line between labor and capital was
drawn tighter by clash in the conference,
on October 20, between Samuel Gompers
and Judge Gary, two of the principal figures
in the convocation.
Judge Gary declared in effect that he
would stand firmly by his previously an
nounced policy not to agree to arbitration
also that the open shop would be main
tained-that is, that every man. whether
belonging to labor union or not, should
have the opportunity to take employment in
any of the mills under the control of the
steel corporation Mr. Gompers made a
hot reply in which he charged in effect that
Judge Gary's position in refusing to con-
slider arbitration was ineXcusable.
In a speech before the conference, few
days previous, Mr. Gompers had stated that
the steel operators would either come to an
agreement with the labor unions or they
might have to deal with the radical element
of labor later, as they would destroy the
ability of the conservative labor leaders to
hold their men in line.
The divergence of views became more
pronounced at the conference on October
II. when both the employer and public
groups voted against labor on the two vital
issues before the conference.-the right of
wage earners to bargain collectively through
representatives of their own choosing and
the Gompers resolution calling for appoint
ment of a committee to settle the steel
strike.
1t is claimed that President Wilson will
not permit the conference to break UP until
every possible effort has been exhausted to
effect a compromise between the three rep
resentative groups-labor, capital and the
public-but, at present, the possibility of this
seems remote.

By Associated Press

New York, March 3.-Al the surplus government copper will be marketed for the government by the Copper Producers' association for n period not to exceed ID months by agreeing with the di- rector of sales of the war depart ment, according to announcement today by the association, which represents 90 per cent of the cop per production of the country.
 The agreement, it was said, was tentative and the copper would he sold by the producers at market prices for the period stated subject to business conditions.
 So far as could be learned no price yvas determined for initial sales, but 1t was indicated that 15c per pound rate would prevail for the immediate future.
