tee in favor Of full continuance Of
conference work was indicated to-
day as delegates on opposing sides
In secret meetings sought to
strengthen their positions. The
lineup was apparent from series
Of test votes in conference COM
mittees, which must report to the
steering committee Monday regard
ing the work they think may be
usefully undertaken in view OF the
refusal of the United States to en-
bark on a currency sterilization
program.
Delegates of~thirteen leading ma
lions of the steering committee,
after studying the reports, will vote
on the extent of the program to be

Two main worries have thrust

The other is the rapid increase

That would make 1t impossible
for persons still on depression wa

General Johnson and his recov-
cry administration are driving to
get wages UP.
It Is slow work. The National
Industrial administrator Is issuing
blunt warnings that unless wages
and people are put back to work
through shortening of hours, they
will not be able to buy. II they
can't buy, goods will pile up In
factories and on store shelves.
Then there will be another col
