TAMPA, Fla, Dec. 1.-TWO wills

in squalor. have turned up and
threaten to plunge into litigation
the $350,0O0 fortune discovered
after her death Friday at the age
Of 90.
The contents of neither will was
disclosed, pending probate proceed
ings which will involve the claims
Of seven cousins.
Mrs. Graham's attorney, M. G.
Gibbons. said the courts would write
the final chapter to the story of
the wizened little woman who
scrimped on food, borrowed stamps
to mail her letters and lived for
years in a four-room suburban
shack without plumbing.
One will was deposited with
County Judge G. H. Cornelius. But
letter in Judge Cornelius possess
sion, written over Mrs. Graham s
signature, said she had made
another will. which was placed In
the custody of S. S. Sine, a friend.
In the same letter Mrs. Graham
said she had made several wills"
during her lifetime and did not
know how many were in existence.
How Mrs. Graham piled up her
wealth while living in squalor was
mystery even to those who knew
her best. For so years she had
lived IN Tampa, coming here from
her native Mississippi with her hus-
band, retired physician, who died
soon after their arrival.

Ry BLAIR M0OnY-

When Congress convenes January
3 there will be thrust in its lap
the most far-reaching social, eco
nomic and political issue of this
century-what's to be done about
labor?
1t Is a question as broad, COM
plex and confusing as the economic
system Of which labor is the heart
that machinery of capitalistic en-
terprise which built for the Amer
ican people in the golden 1820s q
prosperity never paralleled any
where.
1t goes to the heart, too, of the
New Deal, which Is, in objective
at least. merely an attempt to iron
out defects which toppled the sys-
tenn out of balance in 1929 and left
millions cropping in unemployment.
Only few die-hards object to
President Roosevelt's announced
aim OF securing for the working
man a greater share of the wealth
he helps to produce. For this would
enable him to use his greater pur-
chasing power to buy more goods,
enjoy life more-and create more
profits for capital!
See Recovery Harassed.
But the Presidents critics say he
has gone too far too fast, and
clumsily, not carefully.
They say that while Mr.. Roose-

labor Board
Members Of Congress
Asked to Oppose
Changes in Act

An increased appropriation for
the National Labor Relations Board
and resistance to any proposed
changes in the act were urged on
every member of the new Congress
today in a pamphlet circulated by
the Congress Of Industrial Organ
iZation.
1.-The board has been seriously
handicapped in all It's work by in
adequate funds" the c. I. o. legal
department writes. 1T has been
unable to dispose of cases as rapidly
as 1t might because its staff has
been too small to carry the tre-
mendous load Of work thrown upon
1t by the defiant attitude of many
employers"
Law Defended.
Defending the law against charges
Of unfairness, the pamphlet points
out that "the act Is intended to cor
rect an unequal situation.
Where employers are organized in
large corporations and employers
associations, they have an unfair
advantage over unorganized labor.
Almost all laws are one-sided
in the way that the Wagner Act is
said to be one-sided. They protect
one group of people against acts of
another group. Sanitary and safety
laws which regulate building man
agement are not considered unfair
because they do not regulate the
conduct Of tenants also. Laws de-
signed to protect property against
injury are not frowned upon be-
cause they do not place restraints
on property owners as we'll as per-
sons who commit burglary and
arson.
Any Change Opposed.
There are plenty Of laws which
give employers adequate security
against possible dangers to person
or property at the hands of labor.
No such protection has ever before
been afforded to labor against the
subtle varieties Of coercion by en-
ployers which are made possible by
their superior economic position.
The act was written to correct this
inequality"

proved at its recent convention in

Pennsylvania Liquor
Sales Show Decline
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
HARRISBURG, Pa, Dec. 1e.-
Administrators of Pennsylvania s
State liquor monopoly have con-
cluded that declining sales mean the
novelty of repeal has worn off,"
They said the anticipated de-
crease in sales at the $50 State stores
this year would amount to from S.
600, 900 to $6,000,000.
There is no doubt the novelty of
repeal has worn off," said Harkey
Reiter, public relations counsel for
the Liquor Control Board. "It will
play a large part in the drop in
sales this year."
Last year Pennsylvania State
owned liquor stores did business
of $80,000,000. They turned into the
State treasury profits of $4,000, 900
and an additional 10 per cent tax for
relief amounting to 100000.
Mr.. Reiter said there were indi-
cations the total business this year
would not exceed $4,000, 900, with
profits expected to vary between
81, ,000, 900 and SIS, 900, 900.

Watermelon
Without Seeds
Is Developed
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
EAST LANSING, Mich, Dec. 1s.-
The Michigan State College ex-
hibited today q seedless watermelon
developed by Cheong-yin Wong, a
27-year-old Chinese graduate stu
dent who, college authorities said,
had succeeded where other re-
searchers had failed.
Mr.. Wong explained that elimina-
ton Of the seeds was accomplished
by the use Of growth-promoting
hormones in dilute acids. He bagged
the plant blossom to prevent acci-
dental pollination, then removed the
male portion of the flower. The
female portion then was treated
with chemical stimulants.
He said the flavor was unimpaired.
although the melons sometimes take
on pear-like shape. His expert
ments were made with Michigan
melons, which average about 8
pounds, considerably smaller than
Southern melons.

hind them" It gives employers no
rights. It Is lopsided and often
coercive. It breeds unions that are
not responsible and cannot be dealt
with with confidence.
Say Board II Biased.
The board, they assert. with the
bitterly angry backing Of the A. F.
L., has become an organizing ad-
junct Of John L. Lewis Congress
Of Industrial Organizations. It
shows bias. they charge, for G. I. o.
against A. F. L., and for either
against an employer.
Therefore, about 80 per cent Of
employers want the act rewritten, If
1t cannot be repealed, and half Of
labor-the A. F. l.. half-wants it
modified. Both want the powers Of
the N. L. r. B. drastically curtailed.
They will combine forces during the
next session Of Congress to bring
these ends about.
The New Dealers are not vet
ready to open the law for any
changes, despite the fact they know
1t is a highly imperfect instrument,
as Mr.. Roosevelt has admitted.
Their reason is that those demand-
Ing change are, they declare, really
trying to kill the whole idea Of
collective bargaining through rep
resentatives Of employees own choos-
ing"
Up to Congress.
Almost every official, labor leader
and Pro-New Deal businessman in
terviewed while material was being
gathered for this series-at least 30
in all-put it about like this:
"As soon as industry accepts the
principle of collective bargaining
really accepts it-then we can write
better act. But so long as en-
ployers continue to fight organiza- =
ton, we won't open the subject un-
less we have to. Labor and capital
distrust each other so thoroughly
that 1t Would become a cat-and-dog
fight In Congress, with both sides
lobbying desperately for extreme de-
mands. That's no atmosphere in
which to formulate a permanent
labor policy for this country"
So things seem to line up like this:
Industrial critics won't accept
unions until the law Is amended to
force them to be responsible"
Industrial unions and the New
Deal don't want to amend the law
until industry first thoroughly and
wholeheartedly accepts the unions.
Which comes first, the chicken or
the egg? The answer seems to be
up to Congress.
