recorded in full in the tract,
He Is Just The Same Today.

During this period in Dr..
Dowie's life his ministry was
confined almost entirely to
Australia, with his work GEN.
tered principally in Mel
bourne. He did, however, go
to New Zealand for a short
period. In his itinerant work
throughout Australia and New
Zealand Mrs. Dowie served
as his assistant.
There was a growing unrest
in his heart at this time and
finally, after an all-night
struggle, there came to him
what he termed an unmistak-
able call to worldwide min
istry.
In 1888 he left the shores
of Australia to come to Ameri-
ca, it being his intention to pro-
coed from America to Eng
land, establishing divine heal
ing missions en- route.
CHAPTER II
THE LITTLE WOODEN HUT
From 1888 to 1890 John
Alexander Dowie labored up
and down the west coast of
the United States, and a large
measure of success attended
his mission work.
In 1890 he arrived in Chi
cago and began his ministry in
the Middle West by preaching
in the established churches.
The years 1890 to 1893 were
spent in and around Chicago,
except for few months in
Canada and the states of
Maryland, Pennsylvania and
Minnesota.
His teaching on divine heal
ing, his strong positions taken
against secret societies, his out
spoken denunciation of evil
and uncleanness, his attacks a.
gainst apostacy, and his
powerful and at times spectac-
ular manner of illustration,
precipitated a GOODNESS among
ministers of the popular de-
nominations toward Dowie
which paved the way, in
measure, for the subsequent
antagonism between the Chris
tian Catholic Church and the
denominations.
In 1898, DR.. Dowie decided
to make the city of Chicago
his headquarters in this coun-
try. By this time his work was
known as the international
Divine Healing Association"
and under this name he built
a wooden tabernacle near the
Sixty-second street entrance to
the Columbian Exposition.
Here he began the work
which ultimately resulted in
the organization of the Chris
tian Catholic Church.
At first the meetings attract
ed but little attention. Occa-
sionally individuals from a.
mong the crowds going to and
from the Worlds Fair dropped
in to listen. Those who did,
invariably came again, and,
slowly, the attendance began
to build up.

Deportation Case
Aquinsf Unionisf

Minneapolis, MINI. = UPA) -
Peter j. Warhol, prominent in Com
munist and left-wing labor circles
in Minneapolis, was arrested last
week by immigration authorities.
He faces deportation as an alien
who believes in the overthrow of
the government.
Although !. f. Shrode, st. Paul,
chief immigration officer in this
district, insisted that the action
against Warhol was taken indepen-
IDENTIFY, some observers noted that
the Warhol arrest followed similar
action taken against two alleged
New York Communist trade union
lists, John Canto of the Transport
Workers Union-CIO and Michael
Obermeier, of the Hotel & Restau-
rant Employes-AFL.
Warhol, 81, was business agent
of the Upholsterers Int'l Union
AFL Local 81 since 1936-except
for 20-month period spent in the
army during the war. He was sus-
pended as union business agent
last January as a Communist and,
after union trial conducted by
UIU President Sal b. Hoffman,
was expelled from the union.
In the trial, Warhol admitted that
he had been a Communist prior to
1888 but asserted that he had
dropped his party membership
when the union adopted rule bar
ring Communists and Fascists from
union office. However, under ques-
tioning by Hoffman, he admitted
that he "still believed in the prin-
ciples of communism as defined by
Karl Marx"
The union action against Warhol
was undertaken after he had boast
ed to union members at a party
that he would fight for Russia
against the United States and told
them that American filters shot
down by Tito last year "had got
what was coming to them"
Warhol, a native of part of Aus
tria- Hungary now Czechoslovakia,
was brought to the u. S. by his
parents when three years old. AL
though he has applied for citizen
ship several times, he never COM
pleted the requirements.

tic. The AFL Teamsters Joint Coun-
ell here proposed a city-wide Eat
Less Day" as a preliminary build
up to starvation Week" The
Council declared that "If the COP
is intent upon making itself the
party of the empty dinner pail
Taft is its most effective cham
pion."
The Michigan CIO wired Taft
that "our 100000 members in this
great industrial state strongly re-
sent the fact that you are ignoring
our problems of rising costs and
frozen wages" Taft's refusal to
schedule any hearings of his price

the Republican do-nothing pattern
of opening Congress with pray

attempt to cover up their failure
to provide solution to the nations

Taft's assertion in Tahoe, New,
that President Truman was respon-
sible for high prices because he re-
moved price controls too quickly

Tru M an T old This Price
Crisis Leading To 9th ers

Washington-(LPA)- The price
crisis that we're in now is just one
of many such crises that will take
place more and more rapidly in
coming months, the CIO Full EN-
ployment Committee headed by
President Philip Murray told Presi-
dent Truman's Council of Economic
Advisers last week.
"There is little or no solid under
footing" for the continuous opera
tion of our economy today, the
comittee warned. Instead of firm
foundation, a whole combination of
factors that will soon no longer
operate have been propping up the
economy.
"We are proceeding oblivious to
the inevitable collapse" asserted a
statement signed by Murray, COM
mittee administrator Emil Rieve,
United Electrical Workers Presi-
dent Albert Fitzgerald, Amalga-
mated Clothing Workers President
Jacob Potofsky, and United Auto
Workers President Walter Reuther.
1t was submitted at meeting with
the Council of Economic Advisers.
Earlier, in a letter from Murray
to President Truman, the CIO head
said: 81 very sincerely urge that
you issue a call for an immediate
special session of Congress for the
purpose of enacting Legislation to
re-establish price control and ra-
tioning for food, clothing and 9TH
er necessities of life, and impose
full taxes on extortionate profits"
"1-The President should devel-
op an ALLEGATION system for wheat
and other grains and eliminate
margins on the grain exchanges.
"2-Immediate action through
special session of Congress to de-
velop price and rationing controls.
"3-An all-out attack upon mo-
nopolies to prevent them from cur
failing production and distribution
and from refusing to increase ca
pacity.
"a program to expand capa-
city in our basic industries.
"5-The imposition of taxes up
on speculative, undistributed and
excess profits and the increase in
personal income tax exemptions.
"6-The development of the
housing program that envisages
the construction of 1,750,000 homes
n year for the next ten years.
'7-The convening by the Presi-
dent through the Council of Eco
nomic Advisers of the leaders of
industry to place before them the
dangers which now confront the
nation as a result of skyrocketing
prices and monopolistic profiteer-
ing" .

Big Drop In Coarse Grains
After picturing the world food
situation for the coming year as
no better than that which existed
i'm 1915 when "there were the grav-
est danger of mass starvation"
Hoover noted the improvement in
the 1916 harvest and continued:
"The mainstay Of the whole hun
cry world during the past harvest
year mas been about 30,000,000 tons
of cereals and about a 100000 tons
of meats and fats and some sugar,
which have been moved overseas.
This 35 900 900 tons of food was the
contribution of al 1.-The surplus-pro-
ducing countries in the world to
the hungry countries, to which the
United States contributed over 49,
100000 tons.
"Crop reports for this present
harvest outside of Russia-that is
the harvest the world must live on
for the IL months following last
July-show there will be about A.
O00,0 tons more bread grains,
that is wheat and rye, than in the
last harvest. The rice will appar-
emily be about the same. There will
be some more sugar. That sounds
encouraging, but our trouble is a
disastrous decrease in the harvest
of coarse grains, that is, corn, oats,
barley, etc; that decrease will ex-
ceed 32,000,0O0 tons. There is also
some decrease in European pota-
toes. Russia has had some crop inn
provement. We hope it is enough
to supply the satellite states.
Decrease i'm Animal Products
"This shortage of approximately
28,O00,000 tons in the supply of
grains-that is, the difference be-
tween 4,000,000-ton increase in
bread grains and $4,000, ,000-ton
decrease in coarse grains-as con-
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1947-10-02

trasted with 30,000,000 tons OF
grains needed, is not as discour-
aging as it might look. At famine
levels all grains are more or less
interchangeable as human food and
animal feed. The major weight of
the decrease, therefore, will fall
upon animals.
"The situation which now con-
fronts us has two major effects.
First, there will be less coarse
grains in the world available for
human consumption than last year.
Second, the immense deficit in feed
grains will result in a much small
Ter amount of animal products for
export"
Outlines Food Plan
Hoover listed the following
courses of action to prevent star
vation:
The first must be the giving Of
preference to humans, not animals,
and farmers must resist a tendency
to feed wheat to animals because
coarse grain is scarce. The second
must be voluntary reduction of hu-
man consumption and regulatory
steps against waste in processing
food. The third step must be full
cooperation by the. surplus pro-
ducing countries, plus drastic con-
troll of distribution and the elimi-
nation of the black market in the
deficit countries. In the fourth
place, our exports, which have con-
tributed to rising prices here, must
be handled with an eye to keeping
prices down, to stopping boarding
and speculation and to decreasing
unnecessary consumption.
Vol Sends Message
Clarence f.. Pickett, executive
secretary Of the American Friends
Service Committee, read a state
ment from Matthew Vol, vice
president of the American Fedora
ton of Labor and president of the
Labor League for Human Rights.
Woll emphasized the belief that
"the German people should be given
every right to help themselves, to
build a sound foundation for Wig
orous peace-loving democracy and
to help the economic reconstruction
of war-wrecked Europe"

OBITUARIES
ROBERT STEW ART


Robert Stewart, a potter for 4e
years and native of East Liver
pool, died suddenly of heart at
tack Sept. 80 at his home, 287 West
North Ave-, East Palestine. He was
65.
Mr.. Stewart worked Monday at
the w. s. George Pottery Co. where
he was dipper.
A son of James and Mary Stew
art, he was born here July II, 1882,
and resided i'm East Palestine for
the past 81 years.
He was member of the United
Presbyterian Church, Local Union
No. 81, National Brotherhood of
Operative Potters and charter
member of the Eagles Lodge.
Surviving are his widow, the
former Miss Susan Craig, whom he
married in 1916; two sons, James
+. Stewart of Lisbon X. d., and
Baird Stewart of East Palestine;
a daughter, Mrs. Francis Shaffer
of Alliance, and four grandchil-
dren.
Services will be held at | 80 p.
m. Friday from the Oliver Funeral
Home in East Palestine by Rev.
Ross s. Wilson, pastor of the
United Presbyterian Church. Burial
will be in Glenview Cemetery there.

by their own practices that decen,
wages and working conditions are
practicable, the bureau adds.
Within each OF the 38 cities visit
ed, all the power laundries of the
family service type employing 25 or
more persons, or representative
cross-section, were studied. These
laundries altogether employed over
21,C00 workers, almost three
fourths of whom were women. The
survey was directed to the condi-
tions affecting women production
workers, who formed almost two
thirds of total laundry employment
in the surveyed establishments.
Big Difference In Earnings
1t was found that average hourly
earnings of workers in compet-
ing laundries within the same city
differed vastly. In most of the
cities surveyed, employees working
in the city's highest-paying laun-
dry earned 80 to over 500 more
than those in the lowest-paying
one. Despite these differences in
earnings, retail prices within a city
tended to be identical in all or most
laundries.
Comparing one city with anoth-
er, the bureau found that although
there was a slight tendency for
higher earnings for employees to be
accompanied by higher retail
prices, there were sufficient devia-
tions to warrant the conclusion that
higher prices did not inevitably go
with higher earnings.
About 80 to 40 percent of the
laundry industry's production work
ers are working under terms set by
collective bargaining agreements,
either with the Laundry Workers
International Union, AFL, or with
the Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers of America, CIO.
Cities covered i'm the survey, the
report on which is entitled "Wo-
men Workers in Power Laundries,"
are located in Illinois, Indiana, and
Missouri in the Middle West, and
Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Ken
lucky, North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Tennessee, and Virginia in
the South.
