GOLD BLOC HAS WON POINT ON

Steering Committee Makes | Report on Agenda for Conference
AMERICAN FEDERAL
 RESERVE BOARD ACTS
Central Bank Cooperation Is Premature-Sen-s
 sation Caused

LONDON, July 12.-The Steering Committee of the World Economic Conference has rendered decision which the gold bloc declared vir- tually kills the monetary agenda It represents complete victory for the gold bloc.
 The Steering Committee adopted a report calling for the discussion of silver, commercial indebtedness, central bank cooperation and other subjects which can be treated with out dissension.
 No Shouting
 It is understood a gentleman's agreement was reached whereby the conference will be wound up soon without any triumphant shouts by either side.
 The American Federal Reserve Board, it is understod, vetoed par ticipation by the United States delegation in a discussion of the resolution calling for a central bank cooperation. This resolution is backed by the gold bloc and has been under consideration by the sub committee on perma n e n t monetary problems.
 Causes Sensation
 United States Senator Key Pitt man, member of the American delegation, told the committe the Federal Reserve Board felt the resolution was premature. This statement caused a sensation.
 Some members of the conference asserted this attitude killed further consideration of Pittman's import ant resolution calling for eventual return to the gold standard and reduction of gold to cover to 25 per cent, and optional use of silver for one-fifth of this cover. The Americans, however, denied this contention.

Delegate to Give Account of Work to Date Over
 Local Stations

WASHINGTON, D. O., July l.--

 The post offices at Haines and Hyder are to be relegated to the fourth class, according to recent announcement made by the Post Office Department. Previously the postmasters in charge of those of- fees have been presidential ap- pointees. Mrs. Loretta c. Hill, act ing postmaster at Hyder, has been recommended by Delegate Dimond for permanent appointment.
 Alarmed at the long continued absence of Albert Fink and fearing foul play, residents at Hot Springs on the Panama River wired Dele gate Dimond after earlier efforts to organize a search for MT. Fink had failed. United States mar shals in Alaska are not authorized to incur expenses for searches of that character and special order was necessary. The Delegate placed the matter before the Department of Justice, the result being that a deputy was directed to proceed from Fairbanks to search for MT. Fink.
