THE AUTOMATIC COUPLER.
Their Use Will be Compelled. Begin
 ming Today

Washington, D. C., July 31.-After re- peated delays the law which, congress enacted in March 1893. requiring all railroad companies engaged in inter- state commerce to equip their cars with power or train brakes and auto matic couplers, will finally go into effect tomorrow. It is expected that the full compliance with the law will great ly lessen the number of accidental in juries and deaths among railway train men. As a matter of fact. statistics show that the number of accidents has been growing less since the roads be- gan to equip their cars with power brakes and automatic couplers. When the law was passed, seven years ago. only g per cent of the freight cars in use were supplied with air brakes. and but a slightly larger proportion had automatic couplers. Four years later S3 per cent had air brakes and % per cent were fitted with couplers. The number of railway employees killed dur ing the twelve months ending with June 30 1893. was 2.727, and for the year ending June 30, 1897. the number was 1883. Since January l the companies have been making tremendous efforts to equip all of their rolling stock with air brakes and automatic couplers and it is believed that a majority of the big railways are now, in a position to fully comply with the law.

congress was almost unanimously in
favor of employing one, but there was

settled by the election of the presi-

take charge of the Tri-City Unionist

will partially recompense him for his
services as business agent. For the
remainder the unions sending dele
