itself that once more, slick and foxy
Harry Lester had made break for
freedom. He had removed the floor
ing blanks from beneath his cot, IN
some way, and dropped down in the
vault beneath the hospital. 1t is con-
sidered probable that he got out early
in the night. and made his way leis-
urely to some point on the railroad,
and as Pearson station is the first
station reached which is not a flag

RAILROADS WANT

WOULD HAVE FEDERAL GOVERN
MENT TAKE HAND IN THE
WAGE CONTROVERSY

New YORK, june lt.-Settlement OF
the national railway wage controver-
sv, either by arbitration under the
present law or preferably by submis-
sion TO the Interstate Commerce Com
mission for thorough and speedy in
vestigation, was proposed by the rail
ways today at the conclusion OF the
conference in New York with the
train service brotherhoods and re-
fused by the brotherhoOds' chiefs, who
announced that they will go back to
the men Immediately for a strike vote.
The railways point out that the In
its control by rate regulation of the
income of the railway situation, is in
a position to avoid national strike
and settle the controversy with JUS
tice to the employers and the public.
The national conference committee OF
the railways in making this proposal
to the brotherhOods, states: The
national conference committee OF the
railways has carefully considered your
proposals and your explanations of
their meaning and intended applica-
ton. In our judgment no reasons de-
veloped during our conferences to JUS
tify the extraordinary changes in
operating methods and practices and
the large expenditures for additional
facilities which your proposals involve
nor was anything presented to Justi-
fy your requested radical revision Of
the established basis of compensation
for men in engine, train and yard
service. The present rates and rules
are largely the result OF recent arbl-
tration awards and, in our judgment,
now provide for the liberal cOmpensa-
ton and favorable working cOndi-
tions. moreover the best Obtainable
estimates indicate that your proposals
would increase the cost of operation
of the railroads approximately one
hundred million dollars year. all of
which must eventually be borne by
the public. We are confident that you
and the men you represent appreciate
the responsibilities of this committee
to three substantial interests, viz:
/. To the employees here involved,
whose efficient service is acknowl-
edged and with whom the railways
have no difference which cannot be
considered fairly and decided justly
by some impartial body. To all other
employees of the railways whose mate
rial welfare should not suffer because
of the preference of any particular
group of fellowworkers.

who have a right to participate in the

Charities Commissioner

Friend of Poor.
LONG IDENTIFIED
WITH IRON INDUSTRY
Member Of Several Clubs,
Chamber of Commerce and
Trustee Of Many Banks.

Michael J. Drummond, Charities
Commissioner under Mayor Gaynor and
for many years actively identified with
Catholic charitable institutions, died

years old, was stricken with pneumonia
several weeks ago, and his death was
caused by an attack Of heart disease.
At his bedside were his wife, two of
his sons, Walter J. and Leo F., and his
two daughters. Rose NJ. and Mrs. j. z.
Travcrs. Another son, John c. Drum
mond, Is on his way to New York from
Seattle. Wash.
Born in. Jersey City, Mr.. Drummond,
however, was real New Yorker. lie
was educated in the public schools
here, and being graduated from De La
Sale Academy, entered Manhattan Col
lege. There he showed marked ability
in mathematics, and in short time
was an instructor of youths about his
own age.
On leaving Manhattan College Mr..
Drummond entered the iron industry.
He was a leading manufacturer Of the
metal for years, and met with such
success that he had already retired
when his lifelong friend, Mayor Gay
nor. offered to him the Commissioner
ship Of Charities.
For many years Mr.. Drummond had
interested himself in the social and
charitable problems Of the city. He
accepted the proffered post In 1910,
and from then on threw himself into
the work Of his department. His
subordinates loved him. There was a
saying during his term of Office that
the boss" would go to the front as
room for a SEQ a month man as he
would for the $4,000 year employe.
Shortly after he became Charities
Commissioner Mr.. Drummond married
second time. His bride was Mrs.
Helen NJ. Bissett. They started upon
their wedding tour on the Rotterdam
the morning that Mayor Gaynor was
shot down upon the vessels deck
The former Commissioner was deeply
wrapped up in the duties of his Office.
Not Sunday went by during the time
that he WAS head of his department
that he did not inspect personally
some one Of the institutions under his
charge. 1t was his boast that the De-
partment of Charities did better work
on less money under his administration
than had been accomplished in many
previous years.
At the close OF his term Mr.. Drum
mond returned TO that retirement from
which he had issued to serve the city.
I'D TO the time of his illness he was
always deeply concerned in private and
public movements for helping the poor
lie was always active in the works OF
the Catholic Church in New York, serv'
ing for many years as member OF the
board of managers of the Catholic Pro
tectory and of the New York Founding
Hospital.
He was a member of the Manhattan
Catholic. Hardware, Railroad and other
clubs; president of the Friendly Sons
Of st. Patrick, trustee in many banks
and trust companies, vice-president OF
the Emigrant Industrial Savings Bank
and a member Of the Chamber of Com
merce.
