Scotch Miner Now Power in Coun
ciIs of C. /. o.
NEW YORK.-Spokesmar
L Y and champion of labor
in what one correspondent
calls ga new era in capital
labor relations in the United
States" is Philip Murray, sea-
soned, weathered labor bat
tier, but also negotiator and
pacifier for three presidents.
Heading the steel workers organ
izing committee, he met Benjamin
F. Fairless, president of the Carne-
gie-Illinois corporation, in a confer
ence which resulted in an epochal
agreement between labor and the
steel industry.
At eighteen, Philip Murray
punched the weighmaster in the
nose and started a small civil war
in Westmoreland county, Pa. At
fifty, a powerful, mostly off-stage
figure in the rise of the c. I. o.,
he talks it over. He has said many
times that, after punching the
weighmaster, he learned to keep
his temper. That was his only un-
E1seaS111i,ooI
As a boy, he was a miner in his
native Lanarkshire, Scotland. The
family removed to America when
he was sixteen. He was in the pit
for the Keystone Coal & Coke COM
pany. The nOse-punching episode
led the 600 miners to make him
president of their newly organized
local of the United Mine Workers of
America. This started his career
as a labor leader. He educated
by a correspondence course.
He moved along up with John L.
Lewis and Thomas Kennedy, now
governor of Pennsylva-
mia, in both the strife and strategy
of the organization. All three were
vigorous foes of the left-wingers,
and some of their stiffest fights were
in their own ranks.
If VERTICAL unionisn leads to a
reformation of American labor, for
good or i'll, this triumvirate will
figure in the history books as its
founder.
President Wilson made Philip
a member Of his war labor
board. In 1921, President Harding
used him to sidetrack a civil war in
VingO county, w. Va, with 10000
miners in revolt.
A big, bulky, deliberate man, with
a bit of the old Scotch burr in his
speech, master Of fiawless gram
mar and diction, he can still de-
liver verbal punch, but restrains
his powerful fist, although he is an
Eager boxing fan.
He is married and has an eight
son. His salary as an
,ficial Of the U. M. W. A. is $9,0
/ year.

The Dayton forum. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1913-1949, 1937-10-01

easily understood: The judge had plenty
of both worries and dollars with him
that night
He was known to have carried more
than $4,000 when he got into the taxi
cab.
And as for worries
He was up for appointment to the
l4-year Supreme Court term that fall
(Ffe was named to the court after the
retirement of Justice Joseph NJ Pros
kauer) Indications were that he would
not be re-appointed. Such political
slap in the face would be difficult to
explain away.
Then it was charged that Judge Cra-
ter had been friendly politically with
former Magistrate George F. Ewald,
who was charged with buying his Office
for $4,000 from Martin j. Healy. Tam
many district leader and member of the
Cayuga Democratic Club, to which
Crater had belonged.
And there was the Libby Hotel busi-
ness.
One paragraph of note written by
Crater to his wife before he disappeared
read:
Libby Hotel-There viii be very
large sum due me for services when the
city pays the condemnation
Since Crater had acted as receiver in
the hotels bankruptcy proceedings and
had referred earlier in the note to the
$4,000 due him for those services. ii
was charged by investigators that his
connection with the condemnation was
not legal one. They hinted that the
justice had disappeared voluntarily TO
avoid possible custer and disbarment
The Dayton forum. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1913-1949, 1937-10-01

THEN there were the night club girls.
Judge Crater seems to have enjoyed
even wider acquaintance in those cir
cIes than in political ones. The girls
who knew the jurist were not few. il
seemed from the number of stories they
told after his disappearance
But if Judge Crater is alive today,
wherever he may be, he would be con-
spicuous because of his physical appear
ance
He was a big man, I85 pounds and 6
feet tall But his head and neck were
extremely small in proportion to his
general body build. He wore size IA
collar and size 6ss hat.
That collar size would be about right
for man weighing around 130 pounds,
and very few adult men, whatever their
build, wear hats smaller than size ga
The coroIlary chapters in the story of
Justice Crater would fill several bound
volumes Some of them are perhaps
stranger than the disappearance itself.
There was, for example, the tale Of
Connie Marcus, who told police that she
knew the Judge very well indeed and
that the cause of his disappearance was
a religious fervor which had of sud-
den possessed him and which had im-
PEELED him to seek a nonastic life in
old Mexico.
But this theory is about as thoroughly
diseredited today as is the story OF

Force Crater still is missing and unac-

This despite the fact that a 300-pound
desert prospectcr, 100-pound night club
nifties and many other people have told
their tales of seeing the missing Judge

he left a New York restaurant. stepped

Since that night reports have had

they have searched the southern CALI

Every day Of the last seven years they
have moved re1entlessly, il unsuccess-
fully. to find the missing jurist.
And following Mrs. Crater's recent
sensational statements at her summer
home in Belgrade Lakes, Me, they will
continue the search. Mrs Crater said
she now believes that her husband was
murdered for political reasons. she also
charged the police with ineficieney
after her husbands disappearance.
Perhaps the case would not be termed
one of the greatest mysteries OF all time.
if Justice Crater had not been such an
important figure in New York
Here was man appointed to the New
York Supreme Court by Franklin De-
iano Roosevelt, then governor of that
