Business agent George Davis said the union is de- manding a 30-cent pay hike to bring the total hourly wage to $3. Associated General Contractors " | made a counter offer of seven cents. A 'strike vote taken Tuesday night |showed 112 to 23 in favor of a | sirike, which would halt work on the $3,000,000 hotel now under con- | struction and other housing pro- Jjects.

'DEPUTY AUDITOR OF | HAWAII TALKS TAXES “What a réfund we'd get!” ex- claimed the Deputy Auditor of Ha- waii, after talking to the Assistant Auditor of Alaska. “In the recent years of our half- century as a territory, we have averaged about $100,000,000 a year in federal income tax collections—I think we'd get about two billion back.” Karel Hunter Sheecha of Hono- lulu was translating into terms of § his own territory the challenge made by Neil Moore of Juneau that the|, . . federal income tax is discriminatory against Territorial citizens. “Taxes in Hawaii?” echoed a questioner later. “Taxes? There’s no end of ’em. Our greater revenue-producer 1is the gross income tax on all busi- ness—approximately 2': percent— which corresponds to a sales and service tax. “Our main source of county in- come is the real property tax.’ For Honolulu and Oahu Island (city and county) the rate is approxi- Sheecha though it runs as hrizh as $35 in some cases. “In the Hawaiian tax structure, he added, “a personal inccme tax of from 2 to 10 percent of net in- come interlocks with a tax on all compensation (salaries and wages), which has withholding provisions.” At this point, the visitor professed himself more interested in beauties of Juneau and environs, ing, “Besides, I'm no tax expert the accounting and where the money goes.

H Sheecha, who arrived -on the Alaska, will sail westward Tuesday aboard the Aleutian, to visit the Kenai Peninsula and the Interior while on his first trip to Alaska He is enjoying a reunion with a friend of University of Chicago days, Dr. Frank Maresh, whom he had not seen for 11 years. Both are at the Juneau Hotel. Dr. Maresh, medical officer for the Alaska Na-j tive Service, and a specialist in m., berculosis, now is attached to the Government hospital here. Both are of Czeko-Slovak origin, | Dr. Maresh is a third-generation } American, but his friend, Sheecha, was born in Prague. How did a native Czech achieve a high position in the government of Hawall Sheecha answers by saying, simply, “I took the civil service examinations.” There was a little more to it than that. Little dreaming that he was start- ing an eventful career which would | even result in a change of citizen- ship, Sheecha went to work inj Prague for the Standard Oil Com- pany of New Jersey when that tirm began activities in Central Europe. After three years, he was transter- red to Mexico, later to Venezuela, Colombia and Peru, then to Paris and other European posts. Meantime, he returned to Prague for compulsory military duty, and he served with the Austrian Army n World War I. In 1932, Sheecha came to the United States, and studied in Phila- delphia and at the University of Chicago, where he and Dr. Maresh mately $30 »er $1,000 valuation, al-; the | day —my work is concerned only with | Mc atehood | Was examinations, and be- auditor the following ce civil s¢ ame ¢ (OPERATION NEEDED FOR SUCCESS OF TOURS 'Household Furnishings Flown Honhi | 1 ! - i PORTLAND, June 15 7 houseful of furniture — mi International cooperation will be|house—flew to Fairbanks, Alaska, important if tours are, organized yesterday. to go m here on a loop tol All the household eg of Whitehorse and return, Charles W.| Mr. and Mr : Carter vrman of the Chamber | complete to d of C e tourist committee, | ground tiller told that organization Reporting on what was learned|to Fairban during the recents Chamber goc Wwill tour to Haines, Skagway and r is mov Whitehorse. he said that Alaskan: for th and Ca will have to co- oper e trips to that area - uccessful e e 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 o 0o rted that the Chamber | o . found everyone along| g TIDE TABL % ectly hospitable. . . at the group had also| o JUNE 16 ¢ learnec to prevent boring alg pr tide 1:50 a.m., 166 ft. e tour trips should be di-lq [ow tide 8:34 am., -16 it. ® ranged so that the same g o !

FISH STORIES ATTRACT TWO MISSOURI COUPLES Fish stories told by William Por- ter, sanitary engineer with the Territorial Department of Health here, brought two couples 4,000 miles to Juneau, Porter’s ents, Mr. and Mrs W. O. Po of Jefferson City Mo., and another Jefferson City couple, Mr. and Mrs, Lloyd Bur- roughs, arrived here Tuesday aboard the Princess Louise. Porter, who has had good luc catching salmon at Tee Harbo had reported the fact to his father, sending along photographs to prove his fish stories were true. His father and Burroughs, both ardent rod and reel men, decided to see for themselves if Alaska fish- ing was as good as it was cracked lived in the same dormitory. Nat- urally, their mutual Czech heritage was a common bond, and they have been firm friends since those days. After being stationed at Aruba, off the South American coast, Sheecha went to Hawaii and settled on a sugar plantation in an execu- tive capacity. He received his final American citizenship papers In 1938. Transferring to the Matson Line, |i his work dealt in management of hotels and clubs. These were taken over by the Army and Navy during the war, so Sheecha went to work for a concrete company.
