for the protection of the lives OF railroad en-

brakemen were killed and 7,sI1 MANNED
while engaged In coupling cars. The to-
tai number of railroad employees killed
during the year was 2,451, and the num-
Ler Injured % 800. This Is cruel and
largely a needless sacrifice. A law requiring Of
every railroad engaged In Interstate commerce
the equipment each year OF a given per cent OF
its freight cars with automatic couplers and
air brakes TO be used would very soon and very
greatly reduce the present fearful death rate
among railroad employees.

Since March 4, 1889, about % 00O, 600 acres have
been separated from Indian reservations and
added to the public domain for the use OF those
who desired to secure free homes under our De-

conversion of these waste lands into farms. and
1t Is more difficult TO estimate the bettermenc
which will result to the families that have
