Railroad Men Appear Before the
Interstate Commission.
Make Statement Regarding the
Reporting of Accidents.
TO DETERMINE FORM.
Opinions Vary Regarding Value
of Damages to be Reported.
Other Railroad News of Local
and General Interest.

Some time ago the Interstate COM
merce commission announced that it
wanted to hear from the proper rail-
road officers throughout the country
representations as to the 9brm OF re-
porting railroad accidents, to be made
under the law enacted at the last session
of congress, requiring such reports to be
made.
Accordingly, last week, about twenty
railroad men. connected with this parti-
cular branch of railroad work assembled
in Washington for the purpose Of ap-
pearlng before the commission and de-
termining upon some form of report.
There were number of speakers, and
all agreed that there should be a pre-
else definition of what an accident is,
but opinions varied as to how extensive
a nishap should be TO justify a report
None OF them thought that accidents
of less than 500 in value should be re-
ported under the law, and a majority
fixed the time of detention from work
Wnlcn would JUSTIFY a report IN cases Oh
accident to an employee at five days
Some OF those present contended that
1t would be unfair 10 require the report
ing of accidents in which the damage
is less than $780, and Mr. Merrill argued
for a general statement as sufficient to
meet all the demands of the law Most
of the speakers took a position against
the reporting of names of injured en-
ployes or Of those responsible for accl-
dents, claiming that in the first instance
there might De basis Tor damage SulLS
and in the latter for blacklisting- Mr..
Gompers, president OF the Federation OF
Labor, advocated the mentioning of the
names Of those hurt, asserting that this
could injure no one.
The hearing was concluded, but the
commissioners stated that they would
receive the written suggestions bearing
upon the subject until the close of next
week.
The representatives of the various
roads were as follows:
