Private Profit at Sacrifice of Life

The additional precautions inaugurated by the Lake
Shore railroad to safeguard its New York Chicago flyer
amount to an admission that ordinary precautions
sufficient.
The mile minute train is to be made safe even though
man must guard every switch and signals must be in
stalled to indicate DANCE mile ahead
For these extra and costly precautions the Lake Shore
railroad is to be commended The only pity is that they
weer not adopted Much useless sacrifice of life
might have been avoided
But if it is good thing to safeguard mica minute
train why is it not good thing also to safeguard ali
passenger trains?
Ii it is worth switchguard's pay to have the switch
right when the fast limited wzzes by why is it not worth
just much more to have the switch right when the
slower trains with their heavier loads of human freight
go by?
If the special watclmen can safeguard the passengers
the railroad company to keep them at their posts for all
trains
The railroads responsibility for those whom it carries
is not greater for those riding in paatia limited and
paying extra fare The in the smoker of the ord
nary accommodation has the right to protection
A man at every SWITCH ady and night, would cost the
roads lot of money But the other hand do wrecks

Maybe the lives OF passengers cheaper to the rail
roads than provisions for their safety It ought not
to be- Every life sacrificed ought to be made costly to
the roads that it would be economy not to kill
We hear ceaseess boastng about the wonderful eXecu-
tive ability and phenomenal mental qualities of American
railway managers. But death lists when compared
with those of European roads tell quite different story
Railroad managers prophesy dreadful THINKS that ght
happen the ownership and control of the railways
to be taken out of their hands into those of the

A FRENCH NATIONAL

hundred and sixteenth anniversary of
the fall of the Bastile, which is to
France what the Fourth of July is to
the great sister republic across the
Atlantic, is being celebrated in the
usual manner Business is suspend

boulevards are filed with noisy
throngs. 1t has unquestionably been
one of the gayest Fourteenths of
July seen for years. The Stars and
Stripes and British flags were ex-
ceptionally numerous in the decora-

The main feature of the day was
the review of the garrison of Paris.

after 8 o'clock an artillery salute an

NEW YORK, July 15.-On the

for places on the show bills SUFFERED
the bIood-chilling ordeal of trying

consisted chiefly of the manager, 6

There was an old man working
over sheets of orchestra music. and
in the corner a carpenter planning g

who had been put through drill
fingered about. The surroundings
were dust-covered and desolate.
The place is numbered with obsolete
and broken properties. A cardboard
village pump with a kink in it leans
against a wall, and close by is hun
dred trays. Swords and spears, shields
and helmets, whose tinsel glory has
long since departed, lie in a heap or
the floor, mixed with other myster-
ious contrivances which have out
worn their usefulness.
The cold and austere manager
takes seat ON a wobbling chair.

says in the level tone Of a crimina

into a frown that never leaves hin

Brotherhood OF Locomotive Engineers for
coming to their support in the enunciatIon
OF doctrine for which the railroads have
long contended, and more frequently against
their employees than anybody else. Jere-

thus states the position OF the brotherhood.

! any and every law that will give the con-
troll OF railway rates into the hands OF the
government or anybody other than the
railroad owners and managers"
The railroad presidents will doubtless
welcome this aid against government con-
troll OF rates but they will by no means
forget its usefulness i'm other directions
| Control over their property is something
which they are quite as anxious TO pre-
serve from incursions by labor unions as
by the government; and they may hence
forth be as Arm to keep their earning ca
