The measure grants defendants in contempt suits to a trial by jury and also for a trans- fer of judges. The bill also contains a specific provision protecting the freedom of the press, allowing editors charged with contempt for criticizing a Judge, to demand a jury trial and another judge. Attorney General Mitchell criti- cized some of the features of the bill as unworkable. “Hoover withhield coi~' ment.

The Chamber's budget’ are now on hand to insure three months activities at least, and be- fore present bookings of work are filled, others, which will proleng the running period, are expected to be received. Present demand is chiefly for box shooks and lumber from canneries in’ Southeast Al- aska with some Westward parts of the Territory. Logging Aciuvities to Expand Besides the direct stimulus to the labor market that will result from additional benefit will result to the employment situation by reason of enlarged logging activi- ties. The bulk of the logs for the mills will be supplied by the Ju- neau Logging Company which will get most of them from its camp at Port Camden, near Kake. About 1,000,000 feet of logs are on Gas- tineau Channel ready for saws. The heads of the operating force of Mills will be about the same this season as in former seasons of recent years. Heads of Operations Force Roy Rutherford, President, will be manager; J. A. Davis, office manager and accountant; F. E. McDermott, sales manger; R. A. Simmons, superintendent; Joseph Smith, yard boss; Alvin Anderson, foreman of the box factory; an- drew Erickson, planer foreman. The mills under their present organization have been operating since 1927. They had run prev- iously for several years under a similar name. They were known as the Worthen Mills before that. Mr. Rutherford has been connect- ed with the Mills since 1919, The company’s equipment is the best and most comprehensive in its history. This season the new $35,000 power plant, which it across Front Street from the old power plant, will be put to use. Fires were started under its boil- ers today. The Mills now are in position to supply lumber of standard kinds in any dimensions, and deliveries can be made on shorter notice than ever before. el e SENATOR DILL IS KEYNOTER WASHINGTON, March 24.
