Union Power Brawl Under Senate Probe Involving Maloney
Senate investigators opened testimony on conflicts within Chicago locals 150 and 399 of the International Union of Operating Engineers led by William E. Maloney. They allege Maloney and aides controlled locals for 29 years, barred officer elections, and diverted union funds. Witness Clarence Donath linked the 1933 Ziegler murder to the power struggles. Investigators claim Maloney took 1711100 illegitimate expense money and earned 353650 from 1950 to 1956, with the rest partly legitimate. Maloney, in a Miami Beach hospital, said through a reporter he is very sick and cannot talk.
