iron barons had their eye on the junk

of the list of New York lawyers who
have become famous as the legal
pilots of great railorad, financial, in
dustrial and other corporations. They
are Lewis Cass Ledyard and Edward

two-thirds of his name would indicate,
is native of Michigan. He came to
New York many years ago and began
the practice of law He was success
full in forming connection with some
of the gigantic corporations that have
ben formed in the past twenty years
and has found these connections very
profitable. He has been a director of
the Northern Pacific, big Four" Lake
Shore, Michigan Central and nearly a
score of other railroads, and has
served as an official or director of the
big telephone companies, the express
companies and numerous banks. Mr..
Lauterbach is better known as a law
yer than financier, though he has
large financial interests in many big
corporations. In his law practice he
has made specially of railroad and
maritime cases and for many years
he has been vice-president and coun.
sci of the Pacific Mail Steamship Com

William c. Brown of the New York
Central, Samuel Rea of the Pennsyl-

timore and Ohio, were among those
who called on President Wilson Mon
day to discuss the demand of the
trainmen and conductors of eastern
railways for higher wages. They
succeeded in having the men agree to
await further arbitration under an
amended Erdman act before a strike
should be called
Their roads would be the greatest
losers by a strike, for the Central
and the Pennsylvania are the largest
systems in the country. They pen
citrate almost every large city east of
the Mississippi river, and a strike
would cause them trouble from which
they would be years in recovering.
