HARRISBURG, August 9.-Factory In
spector Martin. who was in this city to-
day, being asked as to the truth
of the report that he had
been appointed special inspector of Gus
toms under Collector Cooper, said he knew
nothing of his selection for the position,
and that he was satifed with his present
duties.
As to the rumor that the factory inspee-
torship was to be given to q representative
Of the labor organizations, he said such
disposition of the Office would be un-
wise, for the reason that it would
widen the breech that exists between
manufacturers and their paid labor. The
interests Of labor organizations would then
likely be consulted. to the disadvantage Of
those of the manufacturers.
He could see no reason why he should be
relieved of the inspectorship, and sug-
gested that the report Of
change was possibly . feint
of the organizations o: labor to ascertain
how such movement would be received By
