Biggest and Best Musical Festival Ever Held in this City
Make it a point to bring the entire family or your

George H. Parsons and his band
and orchestra are at present engaged
to play the Gresham fair engagement
, in September. Gresham is within 20
I miles of the city of Portland and is I
i in the jurisdiction of Local No. 9 9 ,:
i Gresham having no Local of its own.
Mr. H. A. Lewis, 96th and East
Burnside streets (phone Tabor 204)
President of the Gresham Fair asso­
ciation was interviewed several times
by telephone and once by letter, ask-1
' ing him to try and see that a union j
band would be hired for the fair this
year. Mr. Lewis stated that the fair
board had awarded the contract t o '
George H. Parsons, but would take
the matter up with the other mem-'
bers of the board and see what could
be done. We fully informed him of
the position of George H. Parsons1
with this association and his unfair
practices with his own associates. On
Tuesday, August 17th, Mr. Lewis
phoned to the association that the
contract had been definitely given to |
Geroge H. Parsons and that nothing
could be done for us. Mr. Charles
Brown, a band leader belonging to
the Musicians union had a meeting
with the Gresham fair board on Mon­
day, 16th, but was informed by a
member of the board that the pre- j
vious board meeting had instructed
them as to whom they should con­
clude a contract and that nothing
further could be done.
The Gresham fair association board
have decided to engage the notorious
George Parsons band and orchestra.
Read George Parson's record as
above stated, carefully, and think
whether you would have done this if I
you had been a member of the Gres­
ham fair board.
