Thesis three charged the ship, only to
f find that the unionists had gone.
Captain Windhorst was much angered
over the Incident. He called upon a
Bel wart, secretary of the German con
sulate, and the two complained to the
United States district attorney's office.
They aakad that a United States mar
ahal bs stationed upon the ship to pre
vent a repetition of the offense. Dep
uty United Statea Attorney Cols called
up D. P. Hall, secretary of the long
shoremen's union, and aakad him In re
gard to ths matter. Hall responded
that ha had no knowledge of the affair,
but that it was quits possible that one
of his plckst boat crews had been the
a guilty parties. He promised to tnvss-
Itlgate ths, mslUe gad to take action.,
against his men if they proved to bs ths
men who boarded ths Mereldja. Be said
that aU picks! have orders to hasp tha
peace, and that his organisation will do

horst for a United Statea guard was
not complied with.
A number of rumors, mors or less au

a man named Jack Slbo, who says that

called at the polios station In a badly
battsred condition. He said that he
had been attacks! by a gang of M men

Is only ons block from ths headquarters
of tha longshoremen. Ths gang had
beaten him Into Insensibility and Isft
&lm lying In ths gutter. Though, he
was not certain that ths man were

as he thought h heard the word "scab"

he was mistaken for a strikebreaker

Secretary Hall does not believe that
these alleged assaults were committed

It's About Reed-French's Business
Six people bought Schubert Pianos last Saturday at
forced prices and everyone saved a hundred dollars
As Fine a Piano as Ever Went Over a Pianoman's Threshold for $315
(the Retail Price of a Schubert Is $450) Pay $8 or 10 a Month
A few days ago Reed-French's Eastern office promised the Schubert Piano Fac
tory to have their Portland store take care of three cars of Schubert Pianos, due to
arrive here about the first of October. The Schubert people were in a quandary as to
how to handle these pianos, as they had discontinued their agency here after the cars
had left the factory. There was no one in Portland to look out for the pianos.
The Schubert Company are friends of this company, and as a business courtesy we
agreed to Sell these pianos, provided we could sell than in bur own way, namely: To
the factory cost add the actual freight and a reasonable wareroom charge no other
appendages allowed. The Schubert people consented to this.
Our method of felling does away wit h the retailer altogether and brings the two
principals together it's 'Wker to player," and nobody else.
We will sell you a beautiful Schubert for less money than retailers will want for
a very ordinary piano. Get "up-town" prices and then see usr-this is ths way to
make the test.
