The order CT Railroad Conductors,
thIcugh Senator Broughton, have asked
the Legislature to prohibit the use Of
four-wheel caboose cars on freight trains
in North Carolina, On the ground that
they are more liable to be wrecked than
are other ears and are therefore danger
Gus 10 life.
The bill was considered by the Senate
Railroad Committee yesterday afternoon
and viii tie reported unfayorably.
Senator Broughton, the author of the
bill, and Mr. w. c. Douglass. attorney for
the conductors, made speeches in favor
Of is. and Mr.. Henri Miller. Col An
drews' private secretary, appeared il
opposition to il.
It devcloped in the discussion tha'
these caboCse cars are very light and
the tail of rapidly running train are
especially liable to jump the track.
list of such accidents, in all of which
there was more or less injury to en-
ployes, was read. and the statement was
made that the conductors riding in these
cars were in constant fear of death or in
jury. IT was shown also, that the South
ern used these cars more generally than
any CT tho other roads The Coast Line
uses very few Of them, and the Seaboard
is dscontinuing their use.
MIR. Miller. however, said TO stop the
use OF the oaboose would cost the South
ern loss of 100000 to $4,000. He de-
clared that the conductors were com
planning not because the cabcose was
dangerous, but because they were not
large enough for them to sleep in.
