Show RIOTING IN ZION CITY. War on Smokers Results in Clash Between Be-tween Two Factions. Zion City, 111. Rioting started here late Monday afternoon when employes of independent manufacturing concerns con-cerns attacked a group of 200 Zion City men and women at a prayer meeting. Both men and women were beaten with clubs and blackjacked and several were seriously injured. The fight came as the climax of a week of trouble between employes of the independent concerns which recently re-cently have begun operations here and the church people, formerly followers fol-lowers of John Alexander Dowie, being be-ing the result of the Zionists' protests against the use of tobacco by the newcomers. |
