MITCHELL HEAD OF
LABOR DEPARTMENT
SulZer Gets Around Senate OBJ
lection by Ad Interim
Appointment.
WILLIAMS FIRST DEPUTY
Republicans Say Former Com
missioner Has Favored
Tammany.

John Mitchell. ex-presdent Of the
United Mine Workers. Is to take John
Williams's place ar Commissioner Of
Labor. despite the two refusals Of the
State Senate to confirm his nomina-
ton by the Governor.
Mr. Mitchell was in Albany yester-
day talking with Gov. Sulzer about the
reorganization OF the Labor Depart
ment In accordance with the now labor
law. passed IN the last session Of tho
Legislature.
Late in the afternoon Gov Sulzer
announced his appointment. The Job
pays $4,000 year.
Soon after MIR. Mitchelrs appointment
was made public he turned around and
named John Williams. his predecessor
in office. a first deputy in the depart
ment.
The increase Of the scope OF the
Department OF Labor makes the shift
In position less serious to Mr.. Will
iains'a interests than would appear.
Az his friends put it. there is room
enough for two.
The Governor legal advice JUS
tifes him In making the appoint
ment. he says. because under the law
he can make an ad interim appoint
ment which is good until twenty one
days after the Senate meets--and If the
Senate is still obdurate Mr.. Mitchell
stays in. The extra session OF the
Legislature the middle OF June Is not
expected to make any difference.
But Mr.. Mitchells name will have
to 20 to the Senate when It meets next
January There ia "A chance that tho
legality Of II will come before the State
courts in the interval because Comp
troller Sohmer. steadfast Murphy
man. may hold up Mr.. Mitchelrs salary.
alleging that the Governor had no
power to appoint while the Senate was
not in session.
The last days OF Mr. wllliams's ad-
ministration OF the Department Of
Labor have put the Republican poll
tic'ans OF New York by the ears. WILL
!ams Is nom!nally Republican,. but
recent appointments and suspensions
aacr!bed to him make him look like
partisan Of another stripe.
Three Jobs which paid in the neigh
horhood of s2.50O went to out and out
Tammany men. Jeremiah J. Flood.
known among Tammany election dis
trict captains as our Jerry" got n
place a. supervising inspector at s2,50O.
Later he WAS raised TO $4,000.
Williams gave another $500 job to
Edward j. Pierce. an adiutant Of ex-
sheriff Tom Foley. Another adiutant
Of Tom Foley. Martin Tanahey. go,
