ment Charging Neglect
Enright Cheered by Men
Assails Critics of Depart
ment at Breakfast Given
by Holy Name Society

Augustus Drum Porter, removed on
Saturday as Third Deputy Police Com
missioner by Commissioner Enright,
will be arraigned in General Sessions
to-day to plead to an Indictment charg-
ing him with neglect of duty
Frank Hendrick, attorney for Porter,
said yesterday he would appear in
court with the Former Deputy Police
Commissioner, but so far as the de-
tense was concerned no developments
could be looked for beyond the enter
ing Of a formal plea Of not guilty.
Following his removal from the
Police Department on Saturday, Colo
mel Porter went to Judge Malone's
chambers in the Criminal Courts
Building with Mr.. Hendrick, where he
was served with the bench warrant for
his arrest and was released in $1,000
bail.
Long His Counsel
Mr.. Hendrick said yesterday that
statements had been made which would
tend to attach special significance to
the fact that he had been retained as
Colonel Porter's legal representative.
There is nothing extraordinary
about this at ALL" said the lawyer. ~

Partment yesterday in the Hotel Com
modore, Police Commissioner Enright
made an address in which he defended
the Police Department and said that

attempted to "spew mud and slush in
the face of the people"

More than $500 policemen. who had

themselves from the mud and slush

Welfare Yorker viii Ask
City for 100000 Tents
Father Curry Proposes to Erect
Temporary Homes for Vic-
tins OF Pro Gteering Landlords

The Rev Father James B. Curry
told 600 members of the Riverside
Welfare League, who gathered last
night in the assembly room of Holy
Name School, Ninety-seventh Street
and Amsterdam Avenue. to discuss
rent profitcering, that he intended to
appeal to the Board of Aldermen ury-
ing that body to erect 100000 tents
in upper New York City to care for
evicted tenants during the summer
months.
DR.. Royal S. Copeland, Commits
sioner of Health, said there are 100
900 homeless families in New York
City who are living in crowded
quarters with other families. This,
he said, is a great menace to the
health and morals of the city and
predicted that after May l the condi-
tions would be much worse.
He urged that all landlords be
licensed and that the rent they be per-
mitted to charge be fixed on that
age of the Boylan-Donohue bill by the
Legislature would materially help the
situation.
James F. G cannon jr., Commissioner
City, told Of the success of the rent
strikes there. He said that the only
permanent remedy for the present
situation was the building of more
houses. Others who spoke were
Assemblyman Martin Bourke, State
Senator Abraham Kaplan and Alder
man Thomas A. Williams. John ].
O'Keeffe presided.

On the national wage conference
called to pass upon these new demands
are seventeen leaders of the railroad
unions and fifteen railroad managers.
No public representatives will sit on
the board. The new railroad labor
board authorized by the transportation
act has not yet been appointed by the
President. This board will consist of
nine members, three each from the en-
ployees, the railroad arrangements and
the public 1t will sit in Chicago.
That the billion-d dollar wage demands
will eventually come before the new
labor board, on which the public is rep
resented, is considered a certainty. 1t
is not believed here that a conference
committee made up only of employers
and employees would have the courage.
to agree to increase the railroad pay
roll by any large amount on the suppo-
sition that the Interstate Commerce
Commission would under the law be ct
once obliged to pass the post on to
the public through increases in rates.
1t is pointed out that the very evident
purpose of Congress in framing the
transportation act was to put both rail-
road rates and railroad wages under
public control. While the manage
ments and the men will have six votes
to the public's three on the new labor
board the law provides that no wage
award can be made Big this board which
does not have the vote of at least one

In the last eight months Of govern
ment operation new wage demands ac-
cumulated. While the leaders of some
Of the more conservative unions, nota-
bly, Warren S. Stone, of the Locomotive
Engineers; L. E. Sheppard, Of the Con-
ductors, and W. G. Lee, of the Train
men, believed that further large wage
increases would only increase produc-
ton costs and living costs, and urged
waiting policy, the radical labor
leaders, especially in the shop crafts,
were insistent on further wage ad-
vances. The result was that the con-
servatives, for self-protection, had to
follow along with the radicals and
make proportionate demands.
Demands of Various Classes
All Of these demands, covering 1885,
600 Of the 100000 employees, have
now been turned over to the railroad
companies. The demands. by classes of
employees, are estimated by railroad
managers as follows:
Three hundred and fifty-six thousand
engineers, firemen. conductors, brake
men and yard men ask for increased
wages of 100000, an average in
crease per man of $50.
Four hundred and seventy-three thou
sand shopmen (machinists, bolermak-
ers, blacksmiths, carpenters, painters,
electricians, car repairers, etc. ask for
an increase of $184, 100000, an average
-
Five hundred and eighty-eight thou

men and foremen, unskilled workers,
