PRINTERSUESUNION
Don Johnson Says He Was
Driven Out of Seattle.
PUTS DAMAGES AT $30,000
While Serving as Night Foreman in
Puget Sound Town Plaintiff
Clashed With Union and Was
Dropped From Membership.
SEATTLE. Wash., Sept. 30. Don E.
Johnson, who claims he was driven out
of Seattle an then expelled from the
Typographical Union, today began suit
against the Seattle Union and 37 of Its
members for J30.000, filing hla action in
the Federal Court. President Campbell,
of the local union, alleges that the suit
will merely put the union to the trouble
of defending Its action and that Johnson
had forfeited his rights.
Johnson was at one time a night fore
man employed by the Times. Hp dis
charged a printer for "soldiering," but
the man was subsequently reinstated by
the local union. Another man against
whom he charged dishonest conduct was
also reinstated. Johnson was fined $37-50
on a charge that he had not acted for
the best interests of the union, but he
won on an appeal. He says in his com
plaint that he was forced from his po
sition, which paid him J35, as a result
of bad feeling between him and other
union men and was finally dropped from
the union:
The union alleges that Johnson lost hla
standing when he went to the Los An
geles Times, a paper employing nonunion
printers. -
The local Typographical Union holds
$5000 worth of stock in the Labor Temple
and has considerable property.. The in
dividual members made defendants to the
suit are also well provided with funds.

Pilot Rock Merchants Cash Worth
less Checks Written by C. Cousins.
PENDLETON, Or., Sept. 20. (Spe
cial.) According -to information given
the Sheriff's ofnee yesterday,' three
merchants of Pilot Rock were recently
swindled out of amounts ranging from
J24 to $28 each by Charles Cousins.
Several davs ago Cousins was given a
check for "$15 by K. G. Warner, and
the number of the same was 9. The
check was cashed in Pilot Rock and
Cousins thought No. 9 was a lucky
one, for he wrote out three more, using
that number, and signing each with
Warner's name. One check for $28 was
cashed by John Sylvester, another for
the same amount was taken by Sturdi
vant & Co.. while one for $24 was
cashed by the Jordan saloon.
Yesterday forenoon it was discov
ered that the three checks were for
geries, and the Sheriff was nottfled.
Cousins had been working for K. G.
Warner for some time, but is an old
resident of this country. The cheek
were drawn upon the First National
Bank of Pendleton.

of an inferior grade.

SPIRIT TOLD OF DEATH
MRS. TURNER WABSED Of
SON'S FATE IN DREAM.
Portland Woman Identifies Body of
Young Man Run Over and
Killed at Salem.
SALEM, Or., Sept. 20. (Special.)
Hero-worship, bad . company and
rfrinir are resonsible for my
son's downfall and violent death," said
Mrs. A. G. Turner, of Portland, who ar
rived this morning and identified the
young man who was run over here
Tuesday and died the same evening, as
her only child and son.
"He was a fatalist, and before leav
ing home Monday to beat his way to
San Francisco, he told me that he was
going to be killed. When I read the
account of the accident, and death in a
Portland paper I knew it was he," for
his spirit visited me the night, he died.
"He had led an eventrul ana aaven
turous life ever since a boy, but' he
began to travel the downward path
more rapidly seven years ago, when
he returned from service in the Phil
ippines with. Company I, Fourteenth
Infantry, U. S. A., and especially since
his head was turned wtih flattery and
his marriage, which turned out to be
a failure. He has a darling little 3-year-old
child, who was with her
mother in San Francisco at the time
of the fire, and the constant worry over
her welfare has borne heavily on nls
mind ever since, and caused him to
drink harder.','
Mrs. Turner says she is the widow
of A. G. Turner, deceased, who was at
one time one of the most noted attor
neys and politicians of Nevada. Her
son was a tile-setter by trade, ana
worked with Bush & Mallett, of San
Francisco, for several years before
coming to Portland, since which time
he had done practically nothing. Mrs.
Turner resides at the Cosmos, 268V&
Morrison street, Portland.

Piano Business
Reed-French's Man Goes Visiting and Learns a Thing
or Two It's Worth While, That's Why We Tell It.
You'll Better Understand Then Why They Sell a
Beautiful Piano for $290 That Up-town Retailers
Must Ask $400 For.
The writer of this advertisement had occasion recently to
hear two little boys talking ice cream. Now, this is a subject
of which the writer, himself, is much interested, and naturally
wanted to hear what the boys had to say.
It seems the finest ice cream parlor in this big
town doesn't give as much ice cream for the money as some
of the other parlors do, and herein lay their criticism. The
writer investigated the facts and found the boys were correct.
The best-fitted parlor gave smaller measure, but the plainer
parlor, gave more ice cream and more cake. The owner of
the first place relied on his location his swell fixtures his
long-established reputation and a whole lot of other phantoms
of trade, but he forgot the mainspring of modern merchandis
ing that people go into an ice cream parlor for ice cream.
IT IS THE SAME WITH PIANOS The dealer on the ex
pensive street his magnifieent store his big line of in
struments his versatile clerks talking three or four lan
guages, and all the rest, of it that go to make the swell estab
lishment, doesn't amount to the snap of the finger when it
comes to the tone of a piano.
Now, honestly, isn't it tone you're after when you buy a
piano? For, if you're like other folks we know, you want the
goods, not the glitter.
Let's be plain.
The Reed-French location (Sixth and Burnside) the
Reed-French selling plan the Reed-French pianos -considered
together, make it possible for us to offer you a most
exquisitely toned piano at a price that must stagger old line
retailers. $290 AND ON TIME. .

Would It Interest you to know we have sold over fifty pianoj in
twenty-six working days? There can be but one reason for this A
