RIOT HEARINGS AT
STEEL PLANT START
News Reel Allegedly Showing Cops Striking
Fallen Men May Be Brought in Evidence
Before Washington Group; 10 Were Ki'led
WASHINGTON—Senator Rob-
inson of Arkansas will present
Friday a substitute for the presi-
dent's court plan, it was announc-
ed today. He is drafting the new
plan today, and information in
advance says that in part it will
provide for adding one man per
year to the bench for each Judge
who has reached the age of 751
years.
With the announcemnt of a j
proposed compromise, also comes |
a stiffening of opposition lines.
Just what may be the outcome is
problematical. It is considered
something, however, that a com-
promise is being talked since a
few days ago the president made a
declaration that he would push
thc plan as originally stated.

CROP 0UTL00KIS
FELT BY MERCHANTS
It will take plenty, of fight and
playing to oust Chicago from the
National loop lead, according to
figures Wednesday afternoon,
when the Cubs defeated St. Louis
9 to 4, but failed to increase their
league standing because New
York won another one from Phila-
delphia.
The Cubs took the lead with
a four run splurge in the sixth
and were never headed. Hartnett
and Galan hit homers. In the
Giant win, Philly couldn't do much
with the four-hit pitching of Clyde
Castleman.
Boston surprised the league by
knocking off Brookly twice in
shutouts, 1 to 0 and 7 to 0 be-
hind Gabler and Bush. Mungo
went the rute for the Daffyness
Boys in the opened and hurled a
five-hitter, one more than was
gained off Gabler. Cy Blanton
had too much on the ball and
Cininnati dropped another one to
Pittsburgh fi to 0.
Chicago had its American lea-
gue winning streak snaped at sev-
en when" Detroit copped 4 to 1
behind the fine mound perform-
ance of Tommy Bridges. Hank
Greenberg hit a homer with one
on in the sixth. Led by Hal
Trosky who hammered out a
brace of homers, Cleveland pushed
over St. Louis 10 to 3.
Lefty Gomez hurled one of tne
best games of his career and gave
New York a 5 to 1 decision over
Philedalphia. Thc southpaw al-
lowed but on hit, but it was a
homer by Bob •Johnson. Wes
Ferrell had another field day as
Washington smashed Boston 6 to
4. The hurler gave up nine hits
but made up for It by scoring one
time himself and driving in two
mof.
in the Texas league Dallas lost
one to Tulsa 7 to 2: Ft. Worth
copped off Oklahoma City 9 to 1;
Houston edged out San Antonio
4 to 9 and Galveston outslugged
Beaumont 13 to 11.
Denison merchants art' begin-
ing to feel the effect of the bet-
ter crops in grain, although no
considerable amount of wheat,
oats, barley and the like are mar-
keted here, since the fields of
grain are nearer other markets.
The overflow of money from
grain and hay crop3 into Denison.
however, is being felt, such mon-
ey coming from rentals or from
farmers who come to Denison to
do their trading.
Denison Will
Take Part In
Pottsboro Event
Denison entertalneds will form
a good will caravan Friday night
to Pottsboro on behalf of the loc-
al Chamber of Commerce to pre-
sent a program of interesting fea-
tures for the second night of the
three day holiday picnic therj.
The entertainers will be pre-
sented on an open-air platform in
the heart of the business section
and will consist of the following
numbers: Doris Jean Douglass,
song and dance; Melba June Perry
acrobatic dance; Lloyd Moore, D,
Baker, Fred Bulloch and E. N.
Wiggens, quartet; Evelyn Powers
song; Rosemary Foudray, song;
M-K-T band under direction of
George Williams, several selections
and Margaret Ashley, dance.
Miss Tlielma Braund will be ac-
companist.
A feature of the Saturday af-
ternoon event, the final day of
the picnic, will be an address by
Tom Suggs, Jr.,, Denison lawyer
and Chamber of Commerce presi-
dent.
A large crowd of Denisonians
is expected to be attracted tc
the enterprising events, indica-
tions point ou.
It is declared that the crop out-
look this year is the best in sev-
eral both as to yield and price,
and Denison is in line to receive
her share of this.
With special efforts being made
to bring cotton to his city for gin-
ning and marketing, and with
picking coming up the latter part
of this month, Denison should feel
a business stimulation from this
angle this year.
It is declared that Denison
needs to stimulate both its grain
and cotton market by seeing that
the very best pries are offered.
Farmers will seek the best mar-
kets and will pass by one town
for another for a very small dif-
ference in quotations in their
favor. However, with Denison
meeting all others on such points,
this city stands a splendid chance
of enjoying a good business from
crops being marketed.

Youngstown Steel Heads re-
fuse to Bargain With CIO
Despite Chicago's Action
CHICAGO—Which side won in
the settlement of the strike at the
steel plants of the Inland company
is a mooted question.
Whatever settlement was made
was between the steel company,
the governor and the CIO, it was
declared.
Immediately after the settle-
ment made by Gov. Clifford Town-
send, he ordered the demobiliza-
tion of state troops.
Governor Townsend said he
would continue negotiations with
the Youngstown Sheet and Tube
company with a hope of settling
matters.
Some 12,500 men will return to
their work following settlement of
the trouble at the Inland plant, it
was declared Thursday morning.

Small Fire Here
Occurs Wednesday
Loss Record for First Six
Months Ahead of 1936 by
More than 11 Thousand
Fire losses in Denison during
June were the lowest in history
for a thirty day period, according
to reports issued by Fire Marshall
Dick Gray and Fire Chief Pat
Lowe today.
Only $12.80 loss on buildings
and contents for the month wera
noted in comparison with $1,614.-
03 for the same period in 1936, of
a difference of $1,601.23. The
buildings and contents in which
fire occurred carried insurance ot
$20,500, the report shows.
' Losses for the first six months
of 1937 w°re only $21,047.69 o.
v$l 1,816.64 over the same periot.
last year of $32,863.33. There
were ten calls during June, thvi
amse number during that, month
in 1936.
City firemen attribute the
smallest loss for a month in his-
tory to carefulness of Denison
renters and property owners and
the addition of the night fire pa-
trol which traverses the city
thoroughly each night. Several
fires have been discovered by the
night patrol before they could
reach destructive proportions.
Wednesday at 6:30 p. m. a
small shed on the Claude Johnson
property, 1027 West Johnson
street, caught from a grass fire,
but did no damage, firemen re
port.
Previous to June, May of 1937
was the lowest fire loss month in
the history of Denion when oniy
$15 on buildings and content0
were estimated.
Glidden Has
Complete Office
One of the most complete of-
fice supply houses, equipped with
conven/ient room and display facili-
ties, and which carries quarters
for the owner, Harry Glidden,
was thrown open this week by Mr.
Glidden at his new home, 110 S.
Fannin avenue.
Harry recently puhchased the
property, which belonged to the
J Anderson heirs and the rock
house which was on the lot has
been transformed into a most
modern structure of beautiful de-
sign. The outside is of stucco,
with a sleeping porch which looks
out on a garden.
The inside is composed of of-
fice rooms, stock rooms, lounge,
bedroom, dinnette and kitchen,
bath and storage quarters.
If those Ford employes at Dal-
las are really in earnest about
warring against the CIO factions,
then John L. Lewis had better
keep his pugs away from there.
However, there's a fishy smell to
the whole setup going on down
three and only time will bring it
to light, if at all.
Once more city firemen are due
a handout of posies for their fine
report during the past month.
While there were only ten small
alarms turned in during the per-
iod. firemen watchfulness has done
much to bring it about. The
loss of $12.80 would be consider*
ed small for thirty days even in
communities of two or three hun-
dred. Since Pat Lows was bd-
pointed fire chief thc changes in
the department have been great.

THE DENISON PRESS
I
Now that the Fourth of July
approaching, various merchant
are beginning to display their fire-
crackers—one of the most dan-
gerous things for children to han-
dle there is. While we all like to
play with fire or firecrackers, a
thought should be given to the
dangers which will come with their
use. Carefulness cannot be over-
done on that day. Whether you
know it or not, statistics prove
that in the past thirty years more
people have been killed through
the use of firecrackers than the
number slain during the Revolu-
tionary war, the very event to
which the Fourth is directly dedi-
cated.
I
It is great fun to watch that
tin can blown thirty feet in the
air, coming back to earth, shatter-
ed and useless, misshapen and
mangled, never realizing that one
mistake could do the same thing
to a hand. A couple more lines
like that and we're going to write
a book titled "Fourth of July
Dangers, or the Perils of Fred-
die's Firecrackers." It would be
either a dog or a dirge.
