DANGER OF RAILROAD MEN
Automatic Safety Appliances Have
Decreased the Fatalities.
But One Man Out of Every Thirty
Three Can Safely Count Upon Be-

The increased use of automatic safety
appliances on railroads is already bearing
good fruit and employment on the roads is
now less dangerous than it used to be-
According to the statistical report of
the Interstate Commerce Commission for
the year ending June 80, 1894, which
is Just out, there has been marked de-
crease in casualties, largely traceable to
this one cause.
During the year .S23 railway employees
were killed and %, ,422 were injured. as
compared with 2,727 killed and SI,729
injured in 1898. The number of pas
sengers killed was 324, an increase of

To show the ratio of casualty, it may
be stated that 1 employe was killed out OF
every AIS in service, and l injured out
of every 33 employed.
Ihe number of passengers carried was

year OF 2G, 127 ,5S7, which was ocoasioued

SAFETY on THE RAILROADS.

Fewer railroad men paid with their
lives last year the penalty of their own
and their employers negligence than were
recorded the year previous, according
Ia the latest report of the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
This is another evidence of the onward
and upward march of civilization. II
is crushing out even the opposition of
railway corporation to taking proper care
OF their employees lives.
1t has been brought about first by the
pressure of press, pulpit, and public, rein
forced by legislative euasSmeut and last
aud most important OF all, the introduction
of automatic safety appliances.
1t is shown. however, in the same report
that there was an increase, small, it is
true, in the number of passengers killed.
The increase Of traffic aud the consequent
short time between the running of trains
has brought this about in the shape Of
horrible rear-end collisions.
The law aud a block system Of operating
trains could do as much for passengers a:
for trainmeu. They should both lie de-
manded by the people.

Sometimes they yield to persuasion,
oftener to pressure, in this respect, in
stances of voluntary increase of pay have
been frequent enough Of late, however,
to be accepted as the result of the more
promising condition of trade, rather than
a mere ebullition of philanthropy.
This Improvement in business is rather
a sumner to those wiseacres who predicted
wreck and ruin as the consequence of the
new tariff The agitation being quieted,
business refuses to be wrecked or ruined,
but has proceeded to adjust itself to new
conditions with accustomed elasticity and
commendable alacrity. Another object
lesson has been furnished which shows
that legislation plays but small part
in the ebb and flow of trade and yet an
other fact is emphasized, to wit; adjust
ment OF the tariff ought to be in the hands
of business men and not political dilietand.
