ATLANTA, Ca, April 20.-The
Southern bosses attempts to rail

(Monday). Chief counsel for the
defense will be Hancock, with Moore
and Socoloff as associates.
They will attack the law under
which Powers and Carr are being
threatened with death, for their
militant class activities, as a law
passed by the Northern military
dictatorship under the carpet-bag-
gers, directed against the Southern
landowners and now being used by
the Southern bosses against mill
tant working-class organizers as a
fascist weapon.
The indictment against Powers
and Carr is based solely on extracts
from two pamphlets which were
confiscated four days before March
8 at raid on the headquarters of
the Trade Union Unity League and
the Communist Party. The defense
lawyers will point out that the in
dictment is legally invalid because
nc overt act has been charged. They
will also attack the wholesale lynch
ings which have been carried on III
Georgia against Negro workers.
Only worldwide protest of the
workers will prevent the bosses from
carrying through this legal murder
of Powers and Carr.

w. P. Mills Says Recent Electrical Storm Did
 But Little Damage

"Sitka is experiencing prosper ous year; fishermen, both whites and Indians, had profitable sea- son; the cannery put up large pack, and retail trade is very good" said w. P. Mills, president of the Sitka Wharf and Power Company, stockholder in the Pyramid Packing Company and resident of the formr Ter capital of the Territory since 1885. He is here for few days on business.
 "The salmon run in the neigh borhood of Sitka in the season re- gently closed, was unusually heavy with the consequence that trollers did exceptionally we'll" continued MT. Mills. "The Pyramid cannery's pack totalled 48,00O cases. Many of the fishermen make their homes in Sitka, and the merchantile busi- ness reflects their prosperity
 Last week an electrical storm vis- tied Sitka. In telling of it, MT. Mills said:
 Lightning struck the generator of the electric light and power plant. Some of the coils were burned out, and the plant was out of commission for two days.
 It is operating satisfactorily now. New coils were ordered in Seattle and they will come north on the steamship Queen Monday. No oth- CT damage was done by the storm. Aviation service is greatly ap- preciated by Sitka. By steamship, voyage between Juneau and Sitka takes two days; by airplane, the distance is covered in an hour or a little less. Aerial transportation has already facilitated business, and when the air mail is inaugurated i the commercial improvement will be much greater"
 MT. Mills came here yesterday from Sitka by airplane. He will return home tomorrow by the same means.

FALL 0PEN|N AT HALvORSEN'S
Latest Fashions Direct from New York Are
 on Display

Fall fashions direct from the New York market are now on dis play in complete assortment at Halvorsen's.
 Miss Halvorsen, on her six weeks buying trip to the eastern mar kets, Chicago, New York, Cleveland, Ohio, and St. Louis, personally se- lected every article now on display in her shop.
 Miss Halvorsen says that never before fin our history, not even in the period before the war, have merchants been able to sell such fine quality of merchandise at such low prices. All qualities of clothing are lower in price than last year and the quality is excellent"
 Showing tailor made garments in preference to the usual job-type is, in Miss Halvorsen's opinion, something well worth while and repays her a hundred fold for her time and money expended on her recent buying trip.
 "Juneau's Own Store" has pur- chased for the pleasure of it's pat rons the new modernistic type of window trim in black and gum metal, delightfully."- plain and ar tistic in it's line, says Miss Halvor- sen.
