Workmen and Accident.

The hours of labor on railroads is another
topic discussed in the report, and the COM
mission says that the need of a high stand
ard of physical and mental condition for
certain classes of employees and care on the
part of supervisory officers to see that
proper regulations are maintained and
obeyed is quite generally recognized. and
a considerable number of railroads have
prescribed rules limiting the number OF
hours OF work and providing rest periods
but these rules appear to have been very
poorly enforced.
The accidents shown in the monthly re-
port made by railroads under the law OF
March 8, 1901, have been regularly pub
lished In the commissions quarterly bulle-
tins. The block system, the lack of which
is understood TO be the cause of those accl-
dents in the most numerous class, has been
fully discussed In the last two annual re-
ports of the commission. The commission
has urged the passage of blcck-sgnal
law TO prevent rear-end collisions, because,
first, collisions constitute the greatest
single cause of death and injuries TO pas
sengers; and, secondly, because this is a
preventive which Is known to be easily
applied. The commission further recon-
mends that the government should investi-
gate train accidents and promptly furnish
the facts concerning them. Such investiga-
ton is a matter of public interest
