of the colored community for the
unionization of the steel industry
was held here last Friday evening in
Grace Memorial church, Arthur

Speakers at the rally included Clin-
ton S. Golden, regional director of

that the union will bring about equal
rights and wage standards for the
entire steel industry, have been wide
ly hailed by local leaders, ministers
and organizations as offering real
opportunity for the Negro people
to improve their economic and social
conditions.

D. c. Twill you please tell me
who went to see my husband and
told him about my boy friend?
Ans: This knowledge has. been a
matter of common gossip in your
neighborhood for QUITE a while. NO
one told him directly. The news
reached him the way all gossip dcns.
You forget the old saying ;. -
ware your sins will find you eut"
M. L. M.-Will I be able to go
back home and get away from the
life I am living?
Ans: By all means abandon your
present life of wastefulness and dis
sipation and return home so that
your conscience can once more know
the peace of useful and honorable
life. There is nothing awaiting you
at the end of your present trail ex-
cept unhappiness.
c. C.-Must I continue to live with
my husband and take his mean treat
ment or would it be best for me to
leave him?
Ans: There is no law or circum-
stance that can force you to live
with your husband if he fnistreats
you. Put the matter before him
plainly :. either he must treat you
as wife or 60 his way ALONE.
You can carry out your point in
this way.

PARIS, January 28.-Georges Bon
net. recently named French Ambas-
sador to the United States, was con-
sidered today to have been handed
as his principal goal permanent
stabilization OF English, French and
American currencies.
A new alignment of franc, pound
and dollar was declared in parlia-
mentary circles to be likely outcome
of current negotiations as a stimulus
to the tri-power stabilization Of cur
rencies.
Bonnet's mission-he sails from
Havre, February 10, to assume his
new poSt-waS linked to the visits
of Walter Runciman, president of the
Board OF Trade in the British cabinet,
with President Roosevelt.
(Runciman was understood to be
an unofficial commercial ambassador
seeking better trade relations.)
France. 1t was pointed out, could
reaoJuSL ner currency Dy letting the
franc drop to its lowest legal level,
thus tending to stem the flow Of
French gold to the United States.
Meantime two simultaneous finan-
cial developments affecting the strained
European economic situation were re-
ported:
l. Herve Alphand, French trade
expert, was to depart for Berlin to
start negotiations for a Franco-Ger-
man commercial accord.

Discussions between Alphand and
Nazi financial officials will seek to
establish an economic past "satisfac-
tory" to both powers is practical.
The new British loan, with the ap-
proval Of the treasury, was expected
to be similar to the f40, 900, 900 $780,

It is expected that fifty or sixty
signers will be secured for this
document.
IN a hectic week of swift move
ment back and forth in the Senate
on pending legislation, the anti
|lynching bill jumped suddenly to
The front WIN Senator Royal 5
Copeland, of New York, moved to
attach it as an amendment to the
the length of freight-train bill. It
is believed that Senator Copeland
had two motives for this entirely
unexpected move. One was to try
to defeat the freight-train bill,
which he is opposing; and the other
was to make a bid for the support
Of Negro voters in his contemplat-
eil race for Mayor Of New York
City. Senator Copeland long has
favored the anti-lynching bill.
Senator Copeland's action, which
was his own idea, was not a popu-
lar n since the freight train bill
wns backed by the four railway
bltherhoods.
The anti-lynehing bill was in
jected into a White House press
conference on Tuesday when a re-
porter asked the President whe-
Ither the anti-lynchcing bill would be
among the bills called up before adj
iournment. The President is said to
have not made a direct answer, but
to have stated merely that he ia
vored an anti-lynching bill.
When a move to attach the anti
lynching bill as an amendment was
voted down 41-34, Senator Cope
land announced his intention to
try to attach the anti-lynching bill
to the wages and hours bill. This
brought on a conference between
