FEWER RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.
Good Results of the Safety Appliance Act
for Protection of Train Crews.
IFRom THE TRIBUNE BUREAU


Washington. April 22.-The declaration OF Gerald
Balfour president Of the Board OF Trade. IN the
House Of Commons yesterday. in reply to a question
as to the reduction of accidents IN the United States
since the compulsory adoption OF automatic coup
lers. was somewhat misleading. He IS reported
as saying that the railroad service in England
was less dangerous than in the United States. and
that the time had not yet arrived for the author-
ties to undertake experiments with couplings
The reports OF the Interstate Commerce Com
mission show, the contrary. that since tho
Safety Appliance act Of 1898 became OF fun effect
on August l. 1900 the benedcent results OF its oper-
alton have been altogether remarkable. and with
the steady Improvement in automatic coupling ap-
planes. doing away with human Intervention,
there continues TO be steady decrease in casual
ties.
Secretary Moseley. IN address before tbs
master car builders convention. at Saratoga, in
1902 showed that there were 80 persons killed and
1888 injured from accidents in coupling and
coupling cars during 1895, while in 1901 there
162 killed and $50 injured. In 1901 there
fourth the casualties Of 1898. though 129t9
