The Hoosier Highlands company, in which Putnam persons are deeply interested, when it sought the privilege of raising money for development purposes, was fought by this same Public Service company, which, at that time, stated it had more power available at its Dresser plant j than they could use, and that the Eel Itiver corporation could not succeed, because there was not a demand for its intended product. On that plea, the Putnam company was denied the privilege of borrowing for development proposes. New Deal Hope Is For "Third House'"

’Peace Rides Wave 01 Chicago Riots

CHICAGO, June 1. (UP)—An unofficial peace rode today in the wake of the Chicago steel riots. Five were dead, and t)7, including police, were recovering from injuries. Strikers insisted the police officers who fired the fatal shots into their ranks before the Republic steel company gates be charged with murder. Police announced the 07 men and women snatched from the 1.500 whom they battled with tear gas. revolvers and riot sticks will be charged with intent to commit an illegal act. A closed conference in which both sides appeared to give vent to the bitter feelings which culminated in bloodshed brought promises of a curb on violence. “I have obtained new assurances from all parties concerned that no provocative acts will be permitted.’’ Gov. Henry Horner of Illinois announced. "Peaceful picketing will be permitted.’’ "There will be no martial law unless Chicago city police prove unable to preserve law and order.’’ The let-down from violence bore no promise of settlement of the strike by the steel workers organizing committee in northern plants of the Republic steel corporation. Inland steel corporation, and Youngstown Shed and Tube company in Illinois. Indiana. Ohio, New York, and Michigan. "You can mark it down that this strike isn't going to end until an agreement is signed,’’ Van A. Bittner, S. W. O. C. regional director announced. "As far as results are concerned, the conference wasn’t worth a damn.’’ The S W 'i 1 ’ It manda a signed agreement of recognition by tie three /7 lependents Bittner said the avowed attitude of Republic steel, only affected con cern attempting to operate in do fiance (f the strike, was that il would not sign an agreement with S.

WASHINGTON, June 1. (UP)--President Roosevelt may yet have to look to the so-called "third House" of Congress the conference com-

mittee to save the most controver- garnishment

sial pieces of his legislative reform program, it was indicated today. Among the measures which may be involved in this procedure are the Supreme Court reorganization bill, the new wages-and-hours legislation, the agricultural adjustment act of lSi:J7, the 511,500,000.000 work -relief bill and Mr. Roosevelt’s

structure of the

ment.

Virtually all of the administration's legislative slate now is being battered by a coalition of rebellious Democrats and Republicans. The uprising began as soon as the president, in a surprise move, called for an expansion of the United States Supreme Court. Before the chief xecutive’s bill to achieve this objective could even be reported unfavorably by the Senate judiciary

Mayor Samuel Backus, himself a j property owner, rental agent and past president of the Real Estate | Board, asserted that rents seemed I high only in contrast to the "distress" rent owners received during

the depression.

Johnson said the committee hail received no complaints from the mayor’s tenants. He said General Motors Corporation, which built 700 houses

He said members of several American Federation of Labor unions were joining with the U. A. W. A. and other Committee for Industrial Organization units in the "organized protest.”

LEADERSHIP t \Mp OPENS INDIANAPOLIS, June 1. (UP) Approximately :io0 junior leaders of 4-H clubs throughout the state gathered at the boy sc« nt camp ten miles northeast of here today for a five day training conference. The school is conducted by tlv 4-H division of the agricultural extension department of! Purdue university in cooperation with the agricultural committee of dlie Indiana Kiwanis clubs. A Voice ( omiii" From Tire Tomb The occupant of a bomb was dragged froi.i its resting place. Tuesday at Indianapolis, whet? someone filed a protest before the- Public Service Commission of Iivliatna, against the petition of the Public Service Company and the Dresser Power Corporation. a subsidiary, for privilege to issue $(>.700.000 in stocks and bonds to construct an adcfition to the present power plant at Dresser, where the plant that “eloctrifies” Greencastle is generated. The robbing of Ur- tomb occurred when the Cloverdale Municipal Water company was named as one of the remonstrants. The charter of that empany was annulled by decree of court, last week, whereupon it at once became defunct, and. therefore, no longer interested in the desires of the Public Service Company. Another remonstrant was the Eel River Power Corpnration which is the company that was formed to develop hydro-electric power at Koosier

rebelled. The House voted to ex-' tend the life of the CCC only two' years, cut Director Robert Fechner's salary to $2,000 and so emasculated the bill that it is doubtful if Mr. Roosevelt recognized his pet pro-

posal.

The Senate approved the Fechner salary cut, voted to make the corps a permanent agency and the bdl was sent to conference. After days of deliberations an agreement was reached to extend the act only three years. It was the chief executive’s first brush with the "Third House’’ this session and he lost. The conference committee is a * parliamentary device to harmonize xmflicting views between the two' muses on legislation which cacti! las enacted in a slightly different 1 omi. Theoretically, the conferees ire chosen by Vice President John' N. Garner, presiding officer of the 1 Senate, and by Speaker William B | Bankhead, Democrat, Alabama, of the House. Actually, however, the 1 selection usually is made by the chairman of the committee which reports the legislation in quest.on k or example the conferees on the president’s Supreme Court reorganization measure if it paasc-t both Houses-will he members of the House and Senate judiciary "ommittees. The majority of the’ conferees are of the political faith 1 af the current administration and usually are selecteijj according m their ranks on the committee. Likewise, the chairman of the 1 committee usually seeks to name conferees in sympathy with the administration’s view on the legislation involved. Thus, the "third! House” becomes the administrations aee-in-the-hole. It was used effectively by the first new deal ii| salvaging such legislation as the 1 "death sentence” public utility act. | The presiding officer of either House is not required to accept the committee chairman’s list of con-' ferees. While such acceptance usually is routine. Vice President Garner in the early days of the new deal, startled the Senate by an-' nouncing that henceforth he would exercise this perogative. Gamer spoke in pique after conferees tern-' porarily had overturned a piece of administration legislation.

Hartman, as administrators of the estate of Frank Hartntaa, whose death occurred January 9, 1937, have filed a petition in the Circuit Court 1 for permission to sell the real estate 1 owned by Mr. Hartman at the time of his death, because of the difficulty of dividing it among the heirs.
