ANTI-RED FIGHT The bitter battle against the Communist-controlled Workers Al- liance opened on a new front Mon- day. Two hundred delegates from 30 states are meeting in Chicago to organize a new national WPA workers union to be free of Red domination, Leaders of the conven- tion are David Lasser, former head of the Workers Alliance, who quit because of Communist penetration, and six National Board officers who walked out with him. Lasser decided to launch a new (union after a tour of Alliance branches in 18 states.

The morning is favorable to the pursuit of activi- ties well started. Depressing influ- ences may be prevalent. The mind should be disciplined against fear.| Heart and Home: Women will lic service will engage the energies of many girls who should train s that they can make the best use | of their talents and energies. It is| not a lucky sway for romance. The stars presage unexpected assign-| ments to duty and temporary sep- aration of members of the family. New customs and strange experi- ences are prognosticated for the autumn. | Business Affairs: Scientific guid- ance of trade will be helpful in readjustments of commercial rela- tions with foreign countries. Inten- ve work for experts in many ity will be enjoyed in the United States which will drain its resourc- es in furnishing relief to war vic- tims, The stars presage rise in the cost of living and the seers counsel thrift for all persons. National Issues: Warning is given that partisan criticism of govern- ment matters will prove most un-! | fortunate at this time when strange events portend. Leaders in indus- try will gain power in Washington,! aiding the nation. Unity of pur- pose and stern loyalties will be im-| perative in the autumn when true | democracy will be required in re- adjustments of economic conditions.' International Affairs: Wise di-| plomacy will have a favorable el- 'fect in our relations with (‘vrt,am‘ South American countries. Trade pacts will involve serious problems and one pact of importance will be wrecked by Fifth Column interfer- ence, There is an evil omen read as indicating double-dealing on the part of a neighboring government. The Sun's entry into the sign of Aries and the culminating of Ju- piter at Washington are read as indicating enormous growth if our world prestige. Persons whose birthdate it s have the augury of a year that brings difficulties. It is wise to avoid changes of every sort. Children born on this day prob- ably will be vigorous in health, keen in mind and kindly in char- acter. They may have talent for music or art. (Copyright, 1940) Plans Go Forward KETCHIKAN — Development of an abalone industry in Southeast Alaska will go ahead, F. B. Morley, San Francisco lawyer interested in the business, said shortly before leaving for the south yesterday on the North Sea. Mr. Morley, who recently in- spected west coast operations, which are proceeding in a small way, is enthusiastic over the new industry. He said he will see about sending | up a dryer to Craig as son as he returns to San Francisco. He plans to purchase diving equipment and send up one or two men in the near future to assist William Carlson of Ketchikan. Mr. Carlson, working by himself | with a trolling boat, is expected | to gather about 50 pounds of aba- lone a day. These are being salted "down and shipped south. One small! shipment of abalone and sea cu-| cumbers recently came through Ket- | chikan, he said. H. J, C. Chang and C. P. Chan, San Francisco merchants who flew to Craig with Morley, are still on the West Coast. They are consid- ering entering the business, While looking over the west coast |he “got a line on scallops,” believes thls product also has commercial| possibilities, Morley said. - ————— & The Daily Alaska Empire guaran- tees the largest daily circulation of any Klaska newspaper. | tricts for two months, others. trades is forecast.
