The former Police Commis- Sloner seems to have distanced ail co! petitors in the affections of his boss,” and it has come a by-word among Republicans of the machine type, that “Murray 1s on top,” and that “Murray must be seen.” The ascendancy of Murray has been meteoric in {ts rapidity. Three years ago he wns scarcely known outside of the old Third Assembly District, where he gave promise of developing fighting qualities. His first claim to distinction was as Supervisor of the Mederal cen- sus in 18%, when he tried to help Chi- cago along by clipping off a couple of hundred thousand citizens of New York in his official enumeration. This high- handed act made him the most roundly abused man !n Manhattan Island, and he didn't spring into prominence for a couple of years afterwards. Then he got in the game again, and this time succeeded In working his way through the other leaders of the second and third rank, until to-day he is next to the bos His enterprise in undertaking tasks that other men declined and his loy alty to the master attracted the atten tion of the latter, and in May, ISM, he was rewarded by being made Comm sioner of Pole by Mayor Gilroy as a result of one of those characteris Platt deals with Tammany.

His suggest tion and indorsement of those advanced by Lexow Republican leaders, who ground, were ignored. ‘Nor was tt any secret that the states- men who were “turned down” did not then, and do not now, share Mr. Platt's Fespect and contidence in Murray, During the hottest part between the Platt forces and the R othe the formers, led by Mayor Strong, which ended in the former suffering an teno- minious defeat, Murray stood by Mr Platt, and, according to his critics, in- spired many of the mistakes that nearly unhorsed the boss. He mate cpen tseue with the Mayor, and a man who ought tu know what he is talking about says he kept the Mayor and Mr. Platt at loggerheais one day in March, when mutual friends almost sum mated a scheme to reconcile those diss tinguished statesmen, now far apa the poles. ; When Murray lost his job as Police Commissioner he became a martyr. 4 his position as court favorite became | even more tenacious than before Mr Platt felt called upon to take care of him and he never worked more ¢ ly in the interest of « Jobless man than he labored to have Gov.

TO ABOLISH SWEAT SHOPS. Western Labor Leaders Encouraged New by the Success Yor. The garment-workers’ strikes, 80 BUuc- cessful in this city, have spread to Rochester, where 1,200 hands are out, t may also cause a atrik: of 12,000 wo) k- men and women at Chicago. The Rochester workers are all members of the United Garment Workers of Ameri- ca, and are striking against the sweat- ing and task systems, and for @ unl- form scale of wages, Twelve millions of dollars’ worth of clothing 1s manufactured annually in Rochester, and the prices for labor are lower than they are in this city, a fact that militates against New York manu- facturers, who are required to pay higher prices for the making of gar- ments of the same grade as those made in Rochester. ‘The General Executive Board of the United Garment Workers has been en- deavoring to bring about an equalization of wages in the clothing trade in all the clties where garments are manufactured to any considerable extent, and the movement at Rochester Is said to be a part of the plan mapped out by the Gen- eral Executive Board, while, at the same time, a vigorous campaign will be carried on to abolish the task and sweating systems wherever they are in vorue, ‘The success of the Brotherhood of Tallors in this city in abolishing the last of the sweat-shops and the task- work system has encouraged the gar- ment workers in all the large cities to strive for similar conditions as those now enjoyed by the Brotherhood coat- makers in this city, Brooklyn, Browns- ville and Newark. Strikes are therefore likely to occur in all the clothing manu- facturing cities where low wages and the sweating and task systems prevail. Commissioner Feeney, of the State Board of Arbitration, left this city for Rochester yesterday to inquire into the strike and {ts causes and to bring about a settlement, {f called upon so to do. The Brotherhood of ‘Tailors, 8,000 strong, will not make up any material sent from Rochester, and will strike against contractors here who attempt to fill orders from Rochester wholesale houses. The strike will also spread to Syra- cuse, Utica, Albany and Buffalo, where large quantities of clothing are made, for the United Garment Workers appear determined to carry out the plan de- clded upon at meetings held early this Summer, the main object being to equal- ize wages and abolish the task and sweating systems. Baltimore is another city with a large number of garment makers, and they have generally suc- ceeded In obtaining better wages and conditions. Meyer Schoenfeld, the suc- cessful leader of the Brotherhood of Tallors and a general organizer of the garment workers, has been busy in Baltimore aiding the pants makers in their strike. Unless concessions are maue by em- ployers, over 20,000 garment-workers are likely to be involved in the strikes now in progress and others Mable to take place within a fortnight.
