CAN RAILROAD TRAVEL BIZ MADE
SAFE!

A writer in McClure's Magazine for
August asks this question and then
proceeds to prove that it can if the
railroads are willing to expend the
money, and the people are willing to
make them do it,
The latest statistics show. accord
ing to his article, that in the United
States one passenger is killed to ey-
cry forty-nine million passenger miles
travelled, while in Hungary the pro-
portion is one to every one hundred
and thirty millions, in Germany one
to every two hundred and sixty-one
millions, and in Belgium one to every
three hundred and. fifteen millions.
But in this country we rather seem
to glory in the great number killed
and wounded every year. 1t provides
so many ante-breakfast shocks and
we would be surprised if accidents
didn't arrive on schedule time.
In each of the last four years, it
is stated the railroads in this coun-
try killed over 10000 and injured over
8 66t6e9-pa2ple. And the danger to
the travelling public is increasing by
jumps and boundsr> In 1895 one pass
enger was killed to every 213, 651- ear
ried, in 1904 the proportion was down
to one to every 1923 and in 1906 it
was further reduced to one to every
70,655. At this rate of increase in
the yearly slaughter in ten years
from now the railroads will be put
ting out of business about 215,O0O
people a year.
Sixty per cent of the railroad ac-
cidents in this country are held to
be ineXcusable and unnecessary
Grade crossings slaughter their hun
dreds every year. The block system
is in use on only twenty-three pei
cent. of our trackage, employees are
encouraged to violate rules to make
time, and accidents are considered
cheaper than the expenditures tc
prevent them.
The reform measures demanded are
considered at length:
1T thus would seem apparent that
drastic legislation is needed to Sc
cure, first, the abolition of all grade
crossings in cities and towns and
careful provision for the guarding oil
all dangerous country grade cross
ngs by gates, fagmen, or automatic
bells; second, the universal use oil
the most effective appliances; ant
third, the adoption of a series of ex-
aminations to test the ability of rail
road employees to meet the require.
ments of the service.
This program by no means ex.
hausts the list of needed reforms
Among many other less important
ones which have been highly recon.
mended by experts, are, first, the EN-.
ployment of third man on all oul
monster high-speed locomotives; sec
ond, an extension of the practice OF
emplo@8ng two conductors on oul
