LONDON, June 30.-(UP).-
Delegates to the world economic
conference abandoned all other
considerations yesterday in a des-
perate drive to force the United
States to agree to temporary sta
bilization of currencies before
proceeding with any other prob
lem facing the parley.
The gold standard bloc-Bel-
GUM, France, Switzerland and
Holland-supported by Great Bri-
tain, put the question squarely up
to President Roosevelt and on his
decision rests the fate of the con-
ference.
France handed the conference
an ultimatum declaring unless the
United States agreed to de facto
temporary sterilization of curren-
cies within a week, she would de-
mand the meeting adjourn indeti-
nitely.
The gold bloc drafted a plan
envisaging the cooperation Of the
gold standard governments with
the United States and Britain,
both off gold. in a move to elimi-
nate speculative dollar fluctua-
tions without interfering with
President Roosevelt's price-rais-
ing program.
They asked that the plan be
submitted to the president by the
United States delegation here, inn
mediately. Prime Minister j. RAM
say Macdonald, of Britain, and
Neville Chamberlain, British chan
cellor of the exchequer, attended
the secret meeting of the gold
bloc representatives at which the
decision was reached.
Delegates during the day kept
in close touch with the erratic
movements Of the dollar on the
exchange market. 1t gyrated with
startling rapidity, going to SAL
to the pound sterling at one time
during the day, and closing finally
with an equally startling rise in

WASHINGTON, June 80 (UP)
Notifications in the proposed cot
ton textile code to provide hgheH
wages and shorter working hours
than originally fixed by the indus
try were forecast last night as
public hearings were completed
by General Hugh S. Johnson, re-
covery act administrator.
Johnson Immediately began d
series of negotiations with the IN
dustry's leaders looking toward
changes. This process may last
for several days. theoretically,
the hearings remain open through
Saturday and anyone who desires
NAV be heard. But no applications
are pending.
Yesterday was devoted largely
to a series of pleas for the great
mass Of unskilled labor, white and
colored. Appeals were made for n
higher minimum wage and for It's
application to all classes of labor.
During the day a controversy de-
veloped between women's Organ
izations over night work for w0nt-
en-. Some leaders advocated re.
tention. othelS complete abolition,
and still others favored reStrIC-
tons.
As Johnson completed this first
phase of his industrial recovery
program, the agriculture depart
lnent, in a surprising and formal
statement. sought to check the
skyrocketing wheat market, fear
ing that the lure of high prices
would endanger its crop reduction
program.
1t attributed the price rise 10
"inhationary tendencies" rather
than normal factors.
As submitted he textile code
provided a $40 minimum weekly
wage in Southern mills; 81 in
the North, and 40-hOur maxi
mum week. A compromise was
indicated last night on the basis
of minimum wage ranging
from $3.50 to S14.00, with Che
working week limited 10 35 or 3G
hours and a machine limitation of
10 or ~ hours. A specific lmita-
ton also will be fixed on the hours
Of work per day.
Child labor will be banned, at
the consent of the industry, and
some restriction will be imposed
on the number of machines a
worker may handle 20 curb the
so-called 's'tretch-out' system. 1t
is likely also that the minimum
wage will include all classes of
labor, with no exemptions for ap-
pdentices, ceaners and outside
helpers who may be paid lower
than the minimum under the pro-
posed code. Night work for wom-
en- will be limited.
In seeking a modification Of the
textile code, labor was surprised
to'find itself aided materially yes
terday by liberal element in the
industry. This group, though
agreeing originally to the code,
now is reported actively agitating
from within a higher wage and
shorter work week.
Johnson would not predict last
night when he would have the
code ready to submit to President
Roosevelt, who has the final word,
If the industry does not accept
the changes proposed. Johnson
then will submit the code to the
chief executive with recommends.
tions for approval or disapprovaI
of certain provisions.
The president then can negoti-
ate on his own behalf. If the in
dustry then does not accept. the
present, under the law. may i'm
pose a code upon the industry ar
bitrarily and license it.

More Control of Mayor

GARY, Indiana, April 3-WitI1
the appointment Of George H. Lewis
by the City Council as new mayor
of East Chicago a few days ago, the
steel corporation has taken another
step to put the city government IN
der its control in preparation for
further attacks on relief doles and
wages. Under the guise of "econ-
ony" many officials in the city gov
eminent are being replaced by more
willing tools of the steel companies.
The present Park Board officials,
who refused the Unemployed Council
= hermit for a demonstration on
Match 4tll on the ground that "the
erUVd would harm the grass and
shrubbery of the City Hall grounds"
are all officials of steel companies
hers. They are VIM. j. Rossman,
GuI erintendent of the Inland Steel
Coz John J. Miller, a steel manu-
SaciIurer; Bert Smith, auditor of the
youngstown Sheet and Tube Co.,
and Carl Smith, connected with In
land Steel.
The steel companies are preparing
to slash wages again, and relief for
the unemployed is being cut. Ac-
cording to reports, 5000 Mexican
families will be deported from East
Chicago within the next few months.
The Communist Party and the Steel
and Metal Workers Industrial Union
are arousing the workers to the need

the regular scale of Is cents per

for fifty cents a day. In league with
others Of a political-commercia1 ring,
he was able to force r. F. G. workers
to accept 81 a day and donate the
third day until complaint was made
to the state officials.
When impoverished farmers ap-
piled for relief, Mr.. Mohry told them
to haul in your timber. In antici-
patton of renewed beer manufacture,
Mr.. Mohry is buying lumber mate
rails for his staye mill as cheaply as
possible.
