The wreck of the Twentieth Century
Flyer that was trying to bring Chicago
and New Yorkttwo hours nearer together
naturally suggests a fresh study OF rail-.
way disasters in this country. In 1900. as
many as $500 people were killed and In.
jured on the railways in the United
States, el,DO In 1901, 1900 in 1902, and
5000 in 1901. These figures show an an
nual increase-far out OF proportion to In
creased railYay mileage. In the year 1905
the last figures at hand. there were only
i34 people killed and only s1s injured by..
railway accidents in England, ireland and
Scotland. THERE are fast trains in Great
Britain, somazof the fastest infthe world.

ference In the figures made in the two
countries? Attic recent railway congress
held 81, 4 3 ton e English delegates
did not hesitate Sto Tsay that American
railway managers work. harder for the.
immediate comfort OF their passengers
than they do for their safety. Perhaps
this is the explanation, but whatever ~
may be. the casualties on American rail-
roads re appa fling and getting more and
more SO every year.
