Miss Kallio came to Juneau from San Francisco early this spring and was taken south for medical atten- ton by her father. An operation was found to be necessary and was performed, but the young girl who was seriously i'll, did not recover.

RAISING
 RES0L UTION
 BEING FRAMED

LONDON, July 15.-The Ameri- can delegates are considering a final effort to forward President Roosevelt's plan for world wide price raising as the World Econ- omic Conference recessed over the weekend.
 A tentative draft of a resolution outlining monetary and commer- cial policies to achieve this is under discussion by the American experts and delegates.
 Decision Not Made
 The American delegation has not yet decided whether it will be of any use to introduce such a meas ure in the final fortnight of the barley whose leaders have agreed to cessation of deliberations on July 27.
 The American delegates are de- sirous of avoiding any steps which might revive the controversy with the gold bloc which has taken ex- ception to the American policy re- garding the dollar stabilization.
 American Thesis
 The American thesis is higher price level will permit seventual monetary stabilization which is SC ardently desired by the gold coun- tries.
 In some quarters there is hope the price raising resolution might be so phrased as to bring the gold group and non-gold countries closer together.

President Asks Attorney General to Make De-

QUESTION IS LEGAL
 ONE, SAYSROOSEVELT
Hopes Way Will Be Found to Get Around Exist
 ing Impound

WASHINGTON, July 15.-Inter- ested in efforts that American gold miners may find way to the worlds market price, President Roosevelt has asked Attorney Gen. eral Cummings to study the legality of exporting gold ore under the existing gold embargo.
 The problem is a legal one with the question being to determine whether the United States gold embargo on bullion applies also to ore.
 Roosevelt Interested
 President Roosevelt feels it vital to maintain the embargo in view of the international gold war but is hopeful of finding a way by legal process to permit American gold producers to obtain a higher price which is available in the markets outside of the United States.
 Might Provide Jobs
 The President has been informed by Western Senators that re- taxation of the embargo to permit sales of newly mined gold abroad might provide jobs.
 President Roosevelt is studying the question closely, it is said al the White House but no decision has been made.
 The Treasury Department is also interested in the question but prob ably it will remain in a suspended state pending the ruling of the Attorney General.

STEEL INDUSTRY PRESENTS CODE TO GOVERNMENT

WASHINGTON, July 15.- The Steel industry has filed with the National Recovery Administration code for fair competition to in- crease wages and spread employ ment through the major portion oI this fundamental trade.
 Ninety percent or more of the steel producers are represented in the agreement.
 The actual terms are not dis closed
 The steel industry is regarded as one of the most vital industries and the movement to increase the pur- chasing power of the working men is regarded as one of the best ac- tions taken so far by industry.
 Wages. and Hours
 The code proposes an average 40 hour work week in all steel plants with wages of 25 to 40 cents an hour for common labor and rais- ing all skilled workers wages @ flat IS percent.
 Administrator Johnson is highly pleased but President Green, of the American Federation of Labor, said labor is strenuously opposed to the plan proposed in the code for company unions There is no in dependence in that" said Green It is bad enough to have the com panies control prices without also having them control the life of the workers"
 Green also regarded the mini- mum wage level too low and the maximum hours too high.
