Edwin Upton Curtis (May 26, 1861 – March 28, 1922) was an American attorney[3] and politician from Massachusetts who served as the mayor of Boston (1895–1896). Later, as Boston Police Commissioner (1918–1922), his refusal to recognize the trade union formed by the department's officers provoked the 1919 Boston Police Strike.[5]
