Mrs. R. B. Edge,
Suffrage Worker

NEW YORK, Dec. / (AP).-
Mrs. Rosalie Barrow Edge, IS
longtime hacker of conserva-
ton and pioneer in the woman
suffrage movement, died in a
hospital here yesterday.
In the early l930s, Mrs. Edge
engaged in a running battle
with the Audubon Society. She
commended the organization was
not really interested in pre-
serving wildlife. She claimed
the society was trapping musk
rat for profit on a bird sane
tuary in Louisiana. The society
at the time denied the charges.
The society later character
lied Mrs. Edge in one of its
publications as a common
scold." However, in later years,
Mrs. Edge made up with the
organization, and when she at
tended an Audubon convention
a few months ago, she was
given a standing ovation.
Mrs. Edge at one time was
treasurer of the Woman's Suf-
frage Party of New York. She
was a blistering speaker in be-
half of the cause to give women
voting rights. When the Nine
tenth Amendment went into
effect, she Joined the League OF
Women Voters, but soon lost
interest because the main battle
had been won.
Mrs. Edge leaves a son, Peter
Edge of Winnetka, ILL.,, and a
daughter, Mrs. Eric Nightin-
gale of Old Greenwich, Conn.

honey took an active part in
fighting President Franklin D.
Roosevelt's court reorganization
plan. He summed up all the
arguments against the scheme
in an analytical fashion typical
of his approach to any problem.
With a touch of irony, also
characteristic of his speeches
and writing, he spoke of a pos
sible distant date when the
court would be enlarged into a
sort of House of Lords"
"MOst Tragic Mistake"
Approval of the so-called
court-packing bill, the Senator
said, would be "the most tragic
mistake in the history Of the
liberal movement in this coun-
try" and would accomplish
nothing except to divide the
forces Of economic and social
justice"
Perhaps Senator O'Mahoney's
outstanding legislative monu-
ment was his work as chairman
Of the Temporary National
Economic Committee that Con-
gress established in 1897. The
committee for three years
studied the concentration of
wealth in American industry
and sought to discover the rea-
son for poverty in the midst
of plenty"
The findings were reported
in a stream of monographs
which aroused widespread COM
ment and controversy. In his
final recommendations Senator
O'Mahoney proposed numerous
steps which, as expected from
one of the Senator's views,
urged thorough enforcement of
the antitrust laws and other
steps to encourage the growth
and development of small busi-
nesseS.
A Champion Of the West
He also fought the concen-
tration of power in insurance
companies and sponsored the
full employment bill to pro-
mote the full possibilities of
the country's opportunities for
an expanding economy.
A powerful champion of the
West, Senator O'Mahoney actu-
ally had his origin in the in
dustrial New England. He was
born in Chelsea, Mass, Novem-
Der S, 1884, the son of Irish
immigrant parents, and was
christened Joseph Christopher.
He attended Cambridge Latin
School before going to New
York for two years at Colurn-
bia University. Afterwards he
went West and began a 1C-year
career in newspaper work, first
with the Boulder (Colo.J Her.

O'MAHONEY
Wyoming Senator
Enemy Of MonopoIies

B. Hendricks of Wyoming, who
owned the Leader, brought him
to Washington as his secretary.
In the Nations Capital he took
opportunity TO obtain a law
degree from Georgetown Uni
versity, and then went back to
Cheyenne to practice his pro-
feSsion.
Politics was a natural next
step for one as interested as
Senator OMahoney in govern
mental processes. He became
active in local and State poll
tics and eventually ran for the
Senate, stamping the sagebrush
country as an advocate of a
new day and a new DEAF eight
years before MIR. Roosevelt ran
for office. This was in the
midst of the Ku Klux Khan
period and Senator O'Mahoney,
q Catholic, was defeated.
But he maintained his in
terest in politics and was active
in the 1882 Democratic Con-
ventien. He became First AS
sistant Postmaster General but
resigned to accept appointment
to the United States Senate
when Senator Kendrick died.
OratOricaI Power
A spry individual with ire
mendous energy, and an orator
of considerable power, Senator
O'Mahoney emerged after a
few months as one of the more
respected young members of
the Senate. He served on the
Appropriations and Post office
Committees and. with an eye
on the West, on Indian Affairs,
Irrigation and Reclamation
Committees.
His political stature continued
to grow. In 1913 he was
doomed by many Senators as
President Truman'S running
mate.
Senator O'Mahoney was de-
feated for reelection in the
Eisenhower sweep in 1852. For
two years he practiced law here
and in Wyoming and then won
election again. From his Sen
ate seat he continued his I'M
ending fight against monop-
olies.
In his last appearance in the
Senate forum, Senator O'Ma-
honey spoke out against the
confirmation of Lewis l..
Strauss on grounds that were
in keeping with his views-that
Mr.. Strauss was a supporter
and advocate Of monopolistic
mergers.
From that debate, Senator
O'Mahoney went home in ting
small hours of the morning and
a little later suffered a stroke
at his home.
Since retiring from the Sen
ate in 1860, he had practiced
law in Washington. He is sur
vived by his wife, the former
Agnes v. OLeary, whom he
married in 1913.
The Senator lived at the
Sheraton-Park Hotel.
