I. 0., died yesterday of a heart attack. At 66 a veteran of half a century's work in labor's cause, he was stricken in his sleep at the Mark Hopkins Hotel here. His wife, Elizabeth, awoke to find him sprawled on the floor beside his bed. Twenty minutes later a physician pronounced him dead. Although Murray had not been in good health, his death came as a shock. Telegrams of condolence poured from all sections of the country. From President Truman and high-ranking government officials . . . from William Green of A.F.L. and John L. Lewi3 of the United Mine Workers. . .from Ben Fairless of 0 S. Steel.' A thin, white-thatched man who never lost a faint Scots burr from his voice, Murray likewise never lost the ardor of trade unionism from his heart. A mine worker at the age of 10, he spent the night before his death at a meeting of his United Steel Workers, whose presidency he held concurrently with the presidency of the parent C. I. O. There, he spoke of labor's gains, promised "wholesome support to any administration that has in mind constructive measures for the common people," and defied "special groups" to take away labor's gains. While his advocacy of Roosevelt New Deal and Truman Fair Deal policies was well known, death sealed his position on future C.1.0. policies.
