RECENT appalling railway disasters
have suggested inquiry as to whether
American railway travel is as safe as
it should be- Statistics show that,
despite wholesale slaughters, the
chances are enormously in favor of
the passenger. bat the fact is that his
chances are not aS good as they should
be. In the United States during the
year ending June 30, 1901, 2S2 passen-
gers were killed by railroad accidents
and 1888 passengers were injured In
the fifteen months ending March 81,
1902, not a single passenger was killed
on all the railroads of England, Scot
land, Ireland and Wales. Granting
that the United States has a much
greater mileage, still 2S2 to nothing
is formidable odds in favor of England.
In this country the total number of
casualties to persons on account OF
railroad accidents in the year ending
June. 1901. was 6l,194: the number of
persons killed, s, 40 and the number
injured, $3.50. The railway men,
however, can show that 81, 537 .51S
passenger miles were accomplished for
each passenger killed and 3,479,067 for
each passenger injured, and thus
argue that it is safer to travel than to
stay at home.
