London, oct 1S-The report Of II. 4 Walker
the expert sent 10y the London and Northwest
ern Railroad To America in order TO investigate
railroad conditions there has been published
Mr Walker sums up follows:
It will he seen from the figures before you
that the American companies have nothing to
boast Of in the safety either Of their passengers
seems u be considered of much less Importance
there than here, ana I am of the opinion that
in this respect the British railway officials have
nothing whatever 10 learn from their American
ConfrereS.
Mr. Walker gives figures showing that twice
as many passengers are carried on the United
Kingdom lines as on the American. though the
latter have nine times greater mileage while
American figures show a much larger proper
tiou OF accidents and fatalities 10 passengers
and employees
The large number Of accidents at crossings
receives considerable mention. Mr. Walker at
tributes the larger proportion Of accidents in
America 70 the almost general absence of
block working. and to the fact that the perma-
nent way is neither laid nor maintained I'm the
efficient manner usually adopted by the British
railways" He says that in the generality of
cases there is no protection at all at the level
crossings

going on in Great Britain for the adoption Of
the automatic couplings used in America is not
justified 10y statistics. the old fashioned screw
couplings showing a smaller percentage of ac
ctdents 10 employees
Curiously enough. the same day that this jus
uhcation or the British railroad system appears,
The Times'S" Saturday, review prints a letter
from a well known engineer in which the writer
makes an urgent plea for the adoption Of auto
matte couplings. and quotes the Interstate

a decrease In the number OF accidents had re-
suited therefrom. The engineer declares that
millions lost to British shareholders by the
failure of the roads in Great Britain 20 adopt
up-to-date safety appliances, and concludes
with saying. 1T Is the system In the United
Kingdom which is at fault" and urges the gov
ernment to take action 10 compel the roads TO
do what the Americans have done. I'm that
way alone" he says. can railway shareholders

vantages and pecuniary benefits which long ago
