ton is regarded by the govern
ment as an illegal political cam
paign contribution.
Eventually the case will go to
the Supreme court of the United
States and will involve a test of
the whole Taft-Hartley law. Peo-
pie who claim to know how and
why the supreme court thinks as
it does are freely predicting that
Philip Murray and the CLIO will
win and that the Taft-Hartley law
will be declared unconstitutional.
The question is will Negroes gain
or lose if the court throws out
the law.
Many prominent Negro citizens
supported the Taft-Hartley law
partly because the law seemed to
be against unions which these

Many prominent Negro citizens
regard most unions as being a
serious menace to the welfare of
Negro workers. They, therefore,
on hearing that the Taft-Hartley
law is against unions, decided they
were for the law. They were also
attracted by the rumor that the
principle of the FEPC is written
into the Taft-Hartley law itself.
What the Taft-Hartley law &C.

"A
World
Nellie C.. Jones

It'll is true that today there are
many people, men and women, in
pursuit of the same job. However,
there is always a place for the
girl or woman who is "on the
job," willing to do what is asked
of her and having the knowledge
required of her. For her a place
will be made, even if it isn't
waiting.
When one considers the bust
ness opportunities open to the
city girl or woman, and those of
her country cousin, the advan-
tages seem to be all in favor of
the former. l wonder how many
people in the city realize this? l
also wonder how many Of them ap-
preciate the fact that opportunity
is constantly knocking at their
door, comparatively few, I fear.
But strange, as it may seem, it
is, in nine cases out of ten, the
small town or country bred girl
who is most successful in the city.
Why? First, the out of town girl
has to depend entirely on her own
efforts to live, if ste does not
keep her position and advance, she
cannot eat or have a roof over
her head, so she strains every
nerve toward success. But, the
city girl doesn't have these wor-
ries. Secondly, the out of town
girl who has gone to the city so
proudly, hates to return home and
admit defeat. Thirdly, the city
girl often when ready for bust
ness, is also at the age for pleas
ure. This of course, is only hui
man and natural. Yet it distracts
her from her daily work. Then on
the other hand the out of town
girl does not know so many city
people, does not go out as much,
therefore has more time to study
and work toward advancement.
Then too with her it is a point of
pride to succeed.
With her, it is "sink or swim,'
so she swims more valiantly to-
ward the shore of success than
perhaps she otherwise would. And
for that reason it is seldom that
she does not reach the shore.
1t may all sound unfair what
I've said about the city girl who
believes in her heart that she is

as ambitious as anyone else, but
if you will examine the lives of
our contemporary successful wo-
men you will discover that few of
them are the products of big
cities.
AS a girl reaches the point in
life where she must choose a
means to earn her livelihood, each
one must fact her own problem,
and ultimately solve it for her
self, but within each of us lies the
motive power which drives us to
success or drags us down to
failure.
The problem of the city girl is
farm more simpler and encour-
aging than that of the small town
girl, and her advantages and op-
portunities are greater. If she
does not grasp them it is her
loss. If she does, she is on the
road to success. In any case, she
must answer to herself for he1
ultimate failure or success.

ARE
 BEING TAKEN OFF
 OF STRICKEN SHIP

TOKYO, Jan. 10.-lRl-Passtn ngers of the stricken Russian ship Dvina are being transferred to Soviet destroyer and an escort vessel III the waters off Northeast Japan, the U. s. Navy reported today.
 The Navy said there was no in- dication how many of the Dvina's reported 78O passengers had been rescued. The reports, radioed to the Navy from Japanese vessels at the scene, said the passengers were be- ing transferred to the Soviet ships via small hoats.
 The reports did not identify the passengers by nationality, or say whether women and children were among them.
 The Japanese vessels-among eight which were standing by the Dvina l50 miles East of the southern tip of Hokkaido-reported calm seas. The Dvina had been lashed by 50- foot waves since her first distress calls Wednesday night
 Earlier today, a Soviet rescue ves- sel succeeded in putting pump aboard the leaking and flounderlng vessel. A spokesman for the Rus sian Mission in Japan said this had greatly improved the prospects Of towing the Dvina to port.

SALMON CANNING SAFETY HEARING
 CONCLUDED HERE

Advisory hearings on the Safety and Sanitation Code for Salmon Canneries were concluded Thursday and proposals submitted end cts- cussed at the hearings are now be- ing considered by the Territorial Department of Labor in drafting a comprehensive sy c m of safety codes for all Alaskan industries.
 Among the many proposals made by both operators and employees were safety provisions of boiler and retort inspection and operation, il- lumination, machine guarding and fire prevention. Sanitation provis- ions were proposed for improved housing, waste disposal, pre-employ- ment physical examinations, pre- ventive methods for use against fish poisoning first aid facilities, en- ployee health and comfort, and special provisions for women work CTS.
 Lynn Sawyer, of the American Can Company, submitted designs of machinery safeguards for approval and said that installation of such safeguards represented an outlay of more than $100,000 for his company, but that the American Can Go. realized the importance of such safety measures and had already in- vested thousands of dollars and en- gineering talent in making its equip ment outstanding in both efficiency and safety.
 J. T. Yolland, of Continental Can Co, emphasized that his firm had already designed the necessary safe guards for it's equipment, and that installation was subject only to machine shop capacity to manufac- tue same.
 P. Gilmore, of the Alaska Salmon Industry, Inc, stressed the accom- plishments of the industy in the field of safety and sanitation, and stated that it's participation in the hearings and drafting of the code was evidence of the salmon indus trs's continuing interest in the safe ty and welfare of it's employees.
 Code h earrings will continue Throughout the month of January with consideration of the code for cold storage and ice manufacturing plants beginning Monday of next week.

ANNE WEDDING IS
 POSTPONED

LAUSANNE, Switzerland, Jan. To- --R-Maj. Jaques Vergotti, aide to ex-King Mihai of Rumania, declar- ed today that flor the moment there is not going to be any wedding for Mihai and Princess Anne of Bourhon-Parma.
 He said in an interview that the former Monarch might eventually" marry Princess Anne, whom he real ly loves" and who is ideally suited to be his wife-"but no wedding for the moment"
 He hinted broadly that the form CT Monarch's advisers are opposed to the marriage, at least for now.
 Vergotti said Michael's unofficial engagement was another reason why he was forced from the throne, because the Communist-dominated Rumanian Government wanted to forestall an "upsurge of the Kings popularity" which would have fol- lowed a Royal wedding and make his removal more difficult.
 Marriage while he was King would have been in his favor, the aide said, but marriage now would give the wrong impression"
 Princess Anne, who was enroute to join Mihai in Switzerland, left her train at Liege, Belgium, this morning and set out by automobile for Luxembourg, where she said she would spend some time to have a little rest" She gave no explanation of the apparent change in plans.
