MARSHAL MAH0NEY
DIES SUDDENLY
OF HEART ATTACK
In Alaska 40 Years-Mar-
shall for lowell Known
and Beloved in Territory

His friends which number by
the thousands throughout South
east Alaska, his office associates
and all who have known him dur
ing the more than forty years he
lived in Alaska are shocked by the
sudden death, probably about mid
night Saturday of United States
Marshal William T. Mahoney.
Mr.. Mahoney, United States Mar
shall for the First Division since
January 16, 1884, was found dead
of heart attack in the living room
of his apartment above the us.
Jail last night about 7 o'clock.
The. death of the Marshal was
discovered by his son and daugh-
ter-in-law, Mr.. and Mrs. Dan Ma
honey, when they became alarmed
because he was late for a dinner
appointment Sunday night.
Expected as dinner guest of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Walmer, Mr..
Mahoney had failed to appear at
the Walmer home and Mr. Walmer
called Dan Mahoney to inquire
about any possible change in his
fathers plans.
He was found sitting in his favo-
rite chair in his living room. He had
apparently been checking mail he
had collected from the postoffice on
his way home from his sons where
he had been for dinner Saturday
evening.
DR.. c. C. Carter, called by Dan
Mahoney last night, said that he
had apparently been dead since
early Sunday morning, because rigor
mortis had set in. .-,-.
He had been expected at the
home of his son for coffee after
church yesterday morning. When he
didn't appear as was his custom, his
son thought he had made other
plans. possibly walked home with
some friend from church, and it
was not until his call from Mr..
Walmer that Dan felt any alarm.
Mrs. Mahoney, who has been in
Arcata, Cal. visiting relatives, was
notified by telephone and will be
in Juneau on Tuesdays Pan Ameri-
can plane.
According to the son, his father
'had been taking things easily for
the last two weeks. He complained
about his heart hurting. but be-
cause he didn't seem to take any
hurt seriously, we didn't either"
The Marshal worked until noon
Saturday and apparently was cheer
full and feeling well, according to
Deputy Marshal Walter Hellan.

Wage Boost

Resident Cdnnery Work
ers in Sc Alaska Secure
Agreement at Sitka

Settlement of the five-day- ole
dispute between the Alaska Salmon
Industry, Inc, and 1000 residen
cannery workers was reached yes.
terday in Sitka.
The agreement calls for an av.
erage increase of $6l.87 for thu
season. 1t will bring the majorit,
of the resident workers minimum
wage to $337.5O for the canning
season, which extends from Angus
Is to Sept. 8.
resident workers receive {
minimum of $443.l2 a season.
Word of the agreement was re-
ceived here by T. B. Erickson, ex.
ecutive secretary of the Alasks
Federation of Labor, from Kenneth
Bowman, AFL organizer for Alaska
who was present at the Sitka nego-
tiations. Peter C. Nielsen, Sitka
was chairman of the negotiating
committee. The Salmon Industry
was represented by Peter Gilmore
Union officers here said the ag-
reement represents the first major
gain for resident workers in sew
eral years.
Support of the AFL Maritime
Trades Council of Puget Sound was
a determining factor in the success
full negotiations, said Nielsen, exec
utive secretary of the union.
Only contracts remaining to bt
settled with the AFL union are t.lt

anticipated that negotiations vii
begin soon.
Gn Seattle, however, j. d. Vance
counsel for the union, Local 24353
AFL United Alaska Fishermen anc
Cannery Workers, was sharply cri-
teal of the salmon industry and
said the union was not happy about
the settlement.
owe do not understand why the
industry virtually forces us to con-
duct strike to get what SO OBJ
viously should be obtainable in
negotiations. Apparently the only
thing the operators understand is
the threat of force, or force itself,
he said.)
Earlier when negotiations broke
down over what Vance said WIS
the operators refusal to consider
any wage boost, the union placed
pickets at the Pacific American
Fisheries plant in Bellingham ahd
at the Libby, Mcneil and Libby
plant in Seattle. These were re-
moved as soon as word of the
agreement was received.
Major advantages of the new
contract, in addition to the wage
increase, include provision that
all dues assignments be payable to
the AFL United Elaska Fishermen
and Cannery Workers and the
opening of contracts at an earlier
date than had previously been ESQ
vided
The new contract agreed upon
in Sitka yesterday ends April 30

Merry Round

UASHINGTON-A general who
brandishes a swagger stick and
talks in crisp British accent is
catching brickbats at the Pentagon
for whopping intelligence errors on
Korea.
He is Maj. Gen. Charles A. Will
loughby, So, German born chief of
MacArthur's intelligence who has
been with him since Manila days.
Willoughby copies his boss in both
stance and garb, even to the scarf
inside the open-throated shirt.
A few weeks before the Korea
attack, General Willougby dismiss
sed Korea as mot important" in
talks with visiting firemen from
Washington
you must keep your eye on the
Reds and know what they will do
next" Willoughby pontificated.
You can take it from me, Iran
is the place to watch. An attack
very soon, old boy"
This was essentially the briefing
given Secretary of Defense Louis
johnson and Gen. Omar Bradley
in Tokyo. In fact, General Brad
ley, returning to Washington, was
most cautious about committing aid
to Korea because of Willoughby's
advice.
Two errors of judgment laid at
General Willoughby's door are:
/. The National Security Council
decision that Korea's threat was
to its internal security" This was
made despite report from Gen.
eral Willoughby's own staff that
there were some 10 tanks in North
Korea. Tanks are strictly an Of
fensive weapon, and now the key
to the Communist successes. Yet

One billion dollars slipped through
Uncle Sans fingers when the Sen
ate passed the tax bill Sept. L.
Democratic Senators Hubert Hum
phrey (Minn.) and Paul Douglas GILL;
wanted Uncle Sam to get his hands on
that big hunk of dough. But members
of the Senate observation-disclosures
bloc-men like Robert Taft (R-Ohio)
Eugene Millikin (R.-Colo), Walter
George (D.-Ga.), and Harry Byrd ID
Va said: No! No! No!
Uncle Sam will lose ST. billion a
year because Taft, Millikin, George
& Co. don't want to seal up the big
loopholes-
Who scampers through those loop
holes, pulling huge bags of profits
with them? Why, big business and
it's friends. That's why Taft, Millikin
and the rest of the boys didn't want
the Senate to close the loopholes.
In one of the finest tax speeches
ever made in the Senate, Humphrey,
explained the billion-dollar loopholes
Aug. 20.
Here are some of the loopholes
Humphrey exposed:

Labor Temple Dedicated
At Bozeman

BOHEMIAN, Mont.-It took a long
time to build. 1t cost each union man
in town SIP. The day it was to be
dedicated there was downpour of
rain. But rain or no rain, when the
Gallatin Labor Temple was officially
opened, Bozeman's union people came
out to celebrate.
The long ceremony started
off with Sheriff Charles Rice lead
ing the singing of the national an
them.
Mayor Bud Lowe, member of
Painters Local 1143, said the temple
would help to cement good relations
between labor and management.
AFL organizer Samuel H. IRWIN,
noting that the city's employer as
ISOLATION is out of step with up-to-
date on-employer methods, said
''today is the time to bury the hat
Chef. A labor temple is a cornerstone
for building progressive labor city
instead of an open shop town."

one-third of the total amount of the
estimated cost. For the fiscal years
1850 and 1851, the Federal share
was increased from one-third to 42.41
per cent. This percentage may be
reduced on future projects.
A total of 204 additional new hos
pital beds are under construction at
Shelby, Red Lodge, Chouteau, Malta
Jordan and Scobey. Federal aid has
also been granted to the Wheatland
Memorial Hospital at Harlowton for
the unfinished portion of construction
and for equipment. Also, it is antici-
pated that the hospital at Culbertson
where Federal assistance is being Civ
en- for equipment only will be opened
shortly after January 1, 1851. Bids
opened on October 4, 1850, for the
proposed construction of the Granite
County Hospital at Philipsburg re-
vealed that construction costs were
beyond available funds. The prof.
ect will be readvertised shortly after
January 1, 1851. 1t is anticipated that
bids will be received for the Sanders
County Hospital at Hot Springs in
November
New Hospitals Not Using
Federal Money
New hospitals are being built and
beds in communities where Federal
monies are not used. More beds have
been supplied at Poison, Kalispell,
Billings and Miles City. Hospitals
have been or are in the process of
construction at Butte, Missoula and
Sidney.
Beds are being replaced at the
Montana State Hospital at Warm
Springs and new 100 bed wing for
Indians with tuberculosis is under con-
struction at Galen. Additional beds
in these two State institutions are
greatly needed Money for these has
been allocated by the State legisla-
ture land in the case of Galen, also
by the Federal Government.
Safe Care for Patients
Hospital facilities in Montana are
being expanded and improved. The
hospital Construction Program and
It's Advisory Committee has provided
in building needed hospitals.
The State Board of Health has es-
,ablished standards for construction
and operation of hospitals to provide
or greater safety to the patient.

L00PhOLES In TAX LAW

dends. Humphrey wanted to put one
on. One billion dollars goes tax free
annually because there is no such
tax. But the Senate refused to fol-
low Humphreys suggestion.
That means every year, according
to Treasurey Dept. estimates, the
Government will continue to lose
pie forget" to report to the Treas
ury the dividends they get from cor
porations.
PHONY PARTNERSHIP
By setting up fake partnerships
many businessmen cut their taxes in
half. There's the case of an account
ant who made his year-old son
partner in his firm. The manufact-
urers of the Stanback headache
remedy listed four children 1, 8, Is
and Is years old, partners in their
business.
These smooth schemes mean plenty
of dough to the big boys. A man with
a net annual income of $4,000 has to
pay a tax of $23,1s1. IF that same
man sets up a partnership" and dis
tributes his income among his wife
and three children, his tax bill is
only $11,2sO.
The tax bill the Senate passed
makes such goings-on perfectly legal.
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES
Insurance companies are taxed
under a formula different from one
applying to most concerns. The last
time the formula was revised was in
1912. But the thing went haywire and
insurance companies haven't paid a
cent in taxes since 1916.
The House passed a bill earlier
this year which would have taxed
the insurance companies $50 million
for 1947 and 1948. 1t also would have
made certain the insurance industry
would have to pay taxes in 1949, 1850
and the future.
But the bill the Finance Commit
tee presented to the Senate elimin-
ated the $50 million tax for 1947
and 1948. This is no time to be hand
ing the insurance companies $50
million gift. The Senate thought such
present was just fine.
THE OIL LOOPHOLE
Oil companies make much more
money than other businesses because
of the favored treatment they are
given under the "depletion allow
ances" in tax legislation. The excuse
for these allowances is this: An oil
well can't be replaced like piece of
WORKOUT machinery. When all the
oil is gone, the hole in the ground
S worthless. But the allowances are
way out of line. Because of the loop
lole, from 1913 through 1947 it was
possible for one man to escape paying
axes on S. million he made in OIL
AL League Reporter.
