Walter Wellman, in a Washington
special to the Chicago Record-Herald
says:
An effort is to be made during the
coming session Of congress to secure
legislation designed to Increase imnu-
nifty from train accidents on American
railways. The whole country has been
shocked by the record Of disasters on
the railways of the United States dur
ing the past year. The report recently
submitted by the interstate commerce
on the rail in this country that startled
railroad men as we'll as the general
public.
The percentage of fatalities to num-
Der Of passengers carried Ia so much
greater in the United States than In
England and other foreign countries
h a even railway men now are admit
ting that something must be done, AL
though 1t Is true the fair method OF
comparing the record of other countries
with that Of American roads In pas
sengers killed or hurt per mile OF travel,
and not wholly as to the number OF
passengers carried, since the average
railway journey in this country Is SO
much longer than the average abroad,
even this more favorable comparison
still leaves a black mark against the
American railroads.
A Reproaoh to Americans.
excel the remainder of the world In al
most every field Of transportation. or
g%anization and mechanics, thoughtful
men consider 1t a reproach to u coun-
try that the present condition Of affairs
should be permitted to continue without
remedy.
Just what form the remedy should
take. is. Of course, a matter Of dispute.
The most intelligent opinion Is that
curing all railroads operating trains in
interstate traffic to Install improved
signal systems in order to ecure great
er safety in the handling Of trains. So
far as most American railroads are
concerned. signal systems superior to
anything they now have in use are
available, but the roads do not install
them IN account of the expense.
One opinion is that they should be
compelled by law to adopt the best
signal systems. regardless Of cost, just
as the interstate roads have been COM
PEELED to adopt automatic couplers on
freight trains. Another opinion shared
by many of the best and most pro-
sressive railroad men Of the country.
is that the roads should be left free
handed to work out their W salvation
without any Interference by congress.
In support Of this opinion, the argu-
ment is advanced that no one could
possibly the more interested in prevent
ing accidents than the managers OF the
roads.
II congress attempts to force them
to adopt certain types of signals. It
will follow as a matter Of course that
cheap and inefficient signal systems
will be put on the market and many
railroad managers may be tempted to
adopt them. 1t seems certain that II
a serious effort Is made to enact legis-
.lation on this subject during the COM
ing session of congress-, the railways
will organize to resist.
