why RAILROADS IN ENGLAND HAVE "'
FEWER ACCIDENTS THAN IN america

lish and American systems are
practically identical. But slight diff
ferences do exist in the working.
In England such an official as the
train dispatcher is unknown. No
person can order an engineer to
take the train from one place to
another. All this is settled by the
signals. If his section Is clear the
signalman allows the train to pro-
coed. If not, the train has to wait
until it is. BY this means the risk
of collision is reduced to a mini.
mum.
The question of the single track
is also important. In England single
tracks abound certainly; but never
are they used except for the very
slowest local passenger traffic and
for goods trains, which can be
shunted onto a siding whenever
necessary. And as rule traffic is
so infrequent on these lines that
the risk of accident is very smail

LONDON, Oct. 3.--American rail-
way trains carry only little more
than one-half the number Of passen-
gers that travel over the British
lines, and yet there are 10 times
the number of casualties on the
American roads that there are on
the British. Why should there be
so many more accidents in the
United States than in Great
Britain?
The total mileage in America is

435. The following figures give
the total killed and injured in
1903 in America and England:
America-Employes killed, 34OS;
employees injured, $3.50; passen-
gers killed, 355; passengers injured,
1871; other persons killed, 5S42;
other persons injured, 1870.
Observation-Disclosures killed, ASS;
employees injured, 1905; passengers
and other persons killed, 500; pass
engers and other persons injured,
1855.
The first and greatest reason for
these figures is that of climate. The
enemy of the railroad in the United
States is the extreme climate, espe'
cially in the north and west. In

do, then trial trips have to be made

Should these be satisfactory then,
and not till then, the board grants
it's certificate to enable the line to

company's bylaws and all questions,
