Consideration of the items which Can, usefully be discussed, having regard to the fact that the gold bloc countries have objected to anything relating to monetary questions, oc- capied the attention of the sub- Committees of the World Economic Conference, yesterday, when they resumed activities yesterday.
The gold bloc countries displayed soreness at the apparent attempt to narrow down this line of delibera fios.
The British Chancellor of the Ex- chequer Mr. Neville · Chamber'in, produc-proposed at one meeting that the

He appealed to industries to hasten the formulation of codes for increasing wages and reducing hours of work.
This tendency
was borne out by the report of the American Federation of La- bour, showing that workers' incomes had increased 7 per cent. between March and May, while the factory output had jumped 35 per cent.
The report infers that much of the present feverish activity and speculative urges in in- dustry will voluntarily limit its profits untill the workers are back to work at a living wage. -Reuter.
