 Greed of Managers.
 o, tbe other hand, 1t is worthy oi note that the consensus of opinion m the Interstate Commerce Commission aIthoueb not stated in so many words bv its members, undoubtedly points 10 the greed of managers and the strug- gle for dividends as the great underly- ing causes for the present unsafety Tn railroad travelling. To be sure, the public is ever demanding more speed and more trains but it rests with the managers to say whether or not these can be given with safety.
 Referring to the figures published in The Herald. showing last year 9,s4o fatalities in railway accidents. 1t ap- pears that 3,6o6 were employees and 3bS were passenger patrons of the rail roads. A very significant fact is that of the remaining 5,s79. 5000 are report ed killed while trespassing on railroad property. This is put forth as an argument that there should be some law in force in this country, similar to that in England, whereby persons are prohibited from walking or otherwise tresspassing on railway property.
 The figures showing the number of fatalities in collisions alone. which under ordinary circumstances should be preventable, are sufficiently appalling to arrest attention. They show a constant increase in the last five years and as compiled by Secretary Mosely of the Interstate Commission, and fur nished to The Herald. are as follows:
