COMPARE FIRST
Regrets Follow the Careless
Purchase Of Player Pianos

There are; people in and around San
Francisco who fully intended to buy
Pianola pianos and did not because
when they bought they thought all
players installed in pianos were piano
las. When these people are given a
chance to compare, to realize the wide
difference between a pianola piano with
the Metrostyle and Themodist and the
ordinary player, they regret very much
that the purchase of a pianola piano
was not more carefully investigated
They realize that to get perfection, to
get an instrument that brings out of
music all there is in it-they must ex-
change their inferior player for gem
uine Pianola Piano with Metrostyle and
Themodist.
The remedy is to compare at first
investigate fully before the purchase
then you will select right, and your
Pianola Piano will give you the de-
sired pleasure and satisfaction for
years to come.
We are absolutely safe in this state
ment. 1t is not now possible for any
other manufacturer, NO matter who he
may be, to equal OF come anywhere
near equaling the PianOIa Piano with
the MetrOstyle and Them0dist, and its
music. The Pianola Piano has become
faultless Paderewski or a Rosenthal,
with yourself as the great artist play
ing at will your favorite selections.
There is but one Pianola--Metrostyle
and Themodist-installed only in the
great Weber. the old reliable Steck,
the popular Wheelock and the depend
able Stuyvesant pianos. Prices are
moderate-$550 and up Other pianos
taken in exchange and convenient pay
ments accepted. Pianola Pianos are on
exhibition and for sale In this terri
tory only at KOHLER & CHASES, Sut-
ter and Franklin streets, one block
abova Van Ness.

POSTER R[PUDIATFD
BY JOHN MITCHELL
Former President of Mine
Workers Denies Attempt to
Dictate to Voters
Statement Given Press Defines
Union Labor Organizations
as Nonpolitical

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 20.-John Mitch
ell, former president of the united mine
workers of America, gave out state
ment today in reply to numerous in
quirfes from secretaries of local unions
to a poster containing an enlarged
likeness of himself, below which is
printed what purports to be an inter
view with him bearing on the present
political situation. He says, in part:
ut is obvious that these posters have
been received by many, If not all, the
secretaries of our local unions; it is
apparent that at least some of our
members believe that they were sent
out by me and the assumption is that
1 am attempting to dictate, or at least
to influence the manner in which our
members should vote.
In order to remove any misunder-
standing that may exist, 1 take this
means Of informing our members that
l have not mailed or authorized any
one else to mail to any member or off,
Ger of our union, or to any one else,
any poster containing my likeness or
giving expression to my political views,
except so far as these views are ex-
pressed in the official circulars author
lied by the executive council of the
American federation of labor.
TELEGRAM NOT AUTHORIZED
Only short time ago a weekly paper
published in the city of Buffalo printed
what purported to be a telegram signed
by me. declaring unequivocally for one
of the presidential candidates and with
equal emphasis voicing opposition to
another. That telegram. which has
been given wide circulation, was not
written by me or by my authority.
never saw it or heard of it until 1t
appeared in the columns of the publica-
tion referred to-
Il have borne patiently with this
misrepresentation and have hesitated
to say anything by way of correction
because I feared that to do SO would
furnish another opportunity for gar
bling what 1 said and thus place me in
an even more embarrassing position and
might convey the impression that I was
not in full sympathy with the working
people TO secure remedial legislation
for the wrongs of which they complain
But matters have gone so far that
cannot. in justice to my own conscience,
remain silent while others use my name
In an unauthorized manner.
POLICY OF NINE WORKERS
"As I understood the policy of the
American labor movement and the
action of the united mine workers of
America, IL is that the organizations of
labor are not committed to any political
party; the workingmen of America are
endeavoring, so far as lies in their
power. and without regard to political
affiliations, to elect to public Office
bona fide members of trades unions or
other candidates who are known to be
in sympathy with the political and in
dustrial reforms necessary to the pro-
lection and preservation of the inter-
ests of the wage earners.
To this end i have written letters
Of recommendation and will write
others urging our fellow workers to
support trade unionists and friends of
the trade union movement who have
been nominated for offifficial positions"
