Library Basement Wet

The wind-and-rain storm
ragged outside, thunder roared
now and again, and at last tLz
electric lights went out in the
library basement room where
Miss Nellie Robertson and Mrs,
p. H. Winston, extensionists,
were at work improving the in
tellect of North Carolina by
mailing out literature.
"The lights are out-we
might as we'll go to luncheon, u
said Mrs Winston.
AS she started toward the door
she was met by a flood of water
Her first thought was how lucky
it was that she had left her over
shoes at the office several weeks
ago; so she went to the corner
where they lay and put them on
Then she was was ready seeatdy to fight fight back
| the water.
The two women forgot both
luncheon and their cultural mis-
sion, and ran out to the janitor's
room and gathered up brooms
and dustpan. The janitor was
in luck--he had already gone
out to luncheon.
Miss Georgia Couch Joined in
the flood control movement, and
in moment a male auxiliary
in the person of Clarence Gra-
ham appeared. He had procured
somehow little tin box. Then
came from upstairs the overlord,
Librarian l.. r. Wilson himself.
He dived into the janitor's room
and brought forth a long hand
led shovel. But before he began
to WELD the shovel Mr.. Wilson
found board and made a bar
ricade across the door to keep
the water out in the hall.
And they went to bailing.
They scooped up the water with
the shovel, the dustpan, and the
tin box, throwing some of it over
the barricade into the hall and
some of it out of the window.
After half an hour they got rid
of most of the water in the room,
and while the others. went to
luncheon Clarence Graham was
allowed to remain to give word
to the janitor to mop the floor
and dry it with electric fans.
The water had come into the
basement through the outer door
and had piled up because the
drain happened to be choked.

: IL is unueFSIOOQ LnaL Dr. d.
B. Lloyd, the physician who at
tended Mrs. Lloyd for several
years until her death, will be
called to the witness stand to
testify as to her mental condi-
tion.

Pending the trial, which will
probably take place in the fall,
Lueco Lloyd, who was named
executor as well as residuary
legatee, is directed, by an order
of the clerk of the court. to
suspend all further proceedings
in relation to the estate except
the preservation of property and
the collection of debts, until a de-
cision of the issue.
Thomas F. Lloyd, who died nearly
20 years ago, was reputed to be the
wealthiest man in Chapel Hill. I'M
der his will as finally interpreted by
the court, his widow, Caroline Lloyd,
received, besides her dover right in
his real estate, half of his personal
property. The thirteen protesting
nephews and nieces declare in their
''cayeat,' which is on file with the
clerk of the court in Hillsboro, that
her share of the personal property
amounted to $l38,629 when she came
into possession of it in 1911
Taking liberal estimate of the
amount of funds paid out by the said
Caroline kloyd," says Article 8 of
the caveat, same would not amount
to more than $4,000 outside of her
small living expenses, and with any
reasonable and honest management
said estate Of Caroline Lloyd should
have amounted at the time of her
death to far more than $150,000,
though the sworn report of Lueco
Lloyd at the time of taking out Let
ters of Administration gives the value
Of the said Estate as only 100000"
After the caveat was filed with the
court Lueco Lloyd presented mo-
tion, through his attorneys, asking
that Articles 0, 10, and IL be stricken
out because the matters and things
set out in said articles are irrelevant
and immaterial and have no bearing
on the issue Of deUisapit uel non to
be tried in this proceeding" The
court willspass upon this motion be-
fore proceeding with the trial The
articles referred to contain allega-
tions about Mr.. Lloyd's management
Of his aunt's property and about his
own financial situation before and
after he took over the management
thereof.
Mrs. Lloyd made many gifts tc her
relatives in her last years. "he
caveators contend that the total of
these was not sufficient TO explain the
shrinkage Of the estate. 1t is thought
that testimony will be offered, on be-
half OF Mr.. Lloyd, to show that she
gave away great deal more than the
total amount mentioned in the eaveat.
Two codicils, executed in March
and April, 1923, which are also at
tackled as invalid, give list Of gifts
made by Mrs. Lloyd to various mem-
bers of the Cate family and to other
nephews and nieces.

That on or about the 7th day Of
March 1928 Caroline Lloyd died at

Sejm (parliament) indicated gen
eral swing to the left on the part of
Polish workers and peasants.
Preliminary returns gave Com

twenty radical peasant candidates,
supported by the Polish Communist

The Conservative National Demo-

Warning; FIGHT!
Workers Expected to
Crowd Strike Hall

A call for a general traction strike
is inevitable if the will of the rank
and file of traction workers is car
ried out at tonight's mass meeting at
Harlem Casino, 100 West 10th st.
Reliable information has been Sc
cured that officials of the union Will
have a compromise" plan to offer
and that they will make last min
ute effort to secure postponement OF
action. Such plan will further play
into the hands of the traction COM
panies.
The meeting tonight, according to
all indications, will bring out several
thousand workers.
Pressure Grows.
The pressure of these workers
against their officials for a strike
has been growing steadily and if an
attempt is made to prevent it, it will
surprise no one if the orkei 20
over the heads Of their ID
force action. lV
Two things have become clea dur
ing the past few days. First, that the
Interborough intends to stamp out
| the union and second that no way
! is left but strike action. All facts
prove that further maneuvers of the
union officials in the direction Of
peace" can now serve only to pre-
pare the way for certain defeat Of the
men. That the union officials will
not be permitted to go Through such
series of maneuvers as they staged
J last summer has become certain to
those who understand the temper of
the men.
Situation Repeated.
Last summer a similar situation
existed. The union officials sought
to give the impression that a strike
was INEVITABLE" They issued state
ment after statement to the papers
announcing that nothing on earth
can now prevent a strike vote" Then
at the last moment they called the
strike off with the declaration that
1--WE are willing to take the word Of
the great mayor Of New York that
we can now organize the lines of the
traction companies" They claimed
that "the greatest victory in years"
had been won.
At the time the workers were
warned by The DAILY WORKER
that the victory" was deception
and that as matter of fact they had
been betrayed. The truth of this

BROACH WARNED
BY PROGRESsIvES
Electrical Workers Ask
Real Program

Growing opposition to the arbi-
trary and iron hand methods of H
H. Broach, international vice-pres
ident of the Brotherhood of Electric
al Workers, has developed into a
mass movement of resentment since
Broach's police beat up several union
members who sought admission al
the last meeting of Local 8.
Indications now point to the fact
that unless Broach, self appoin &c
Little Caesar" of the building
trades, makes a long step in the
direction of permitting rank and file
control in his union and takes ur
the now widespread demand for real
unemployment relief, he will fine
himself defeated in the local Ever
the growing extremes of his terror
istic methods will not save him, it is
believed.
Attack Policy.
Members of the progressive arr
openly charging that "Broach has
now identified himself with the oro-
gram of Matthew Vol, extreme re
dictionary in the American Federation
of Labor"
This charge was made in particul-
ar reference to Broach's policy OF
excluding members from the union
whom he has reason to fear. OF late
it is charged, as conditions in tn
industry have become worse Broach
like the typical reactionary that h
really is, has been resorting more
and more to exclusions.
"This is the policy of John l..
Lewis and of Matthew Woll," mem
bers of the Progressive Association
declare. "Any progressive member
of the union who will now disagree
with the reactionary methods of this
little tin god, and who will dare t.
criticize him at meetings of Local

ing Communists and secondly will b
expelled from the union.
