WAsnINGToN, May 1.-THE interstate
commerce commission has issued a circular
letter addressed to the labor organizations of
the country, soliciting information and dis
cussiOn upon the question of federal regula-
tion Of safety appliances on railroads. In
opening, the letter reads as follows:
''The large number of accidents to en-
ployes and passengers occurring on the rail
rosds of this country, and the public belief
that great part of these might be avoided
py the use of proper appliances, have led
many states to make the mechanical features
Of railroad working the subject of statutory
regulation. 1t is well known, however. that
In respect to some at least of these features
the condition as such that regulation, if at
tempted, can neither secure adequate benefit
To the public nor be just to the railroads
themselves unless 1T be uniform over the
whole country'
In view of this fact the Interstate COM
merce commission desires to call out as full
information and discussion as possible upon
the question Of federal regulation of safety
appliances on the railroads.
