system since 1900. Ehe upper curve
shows percentage of total mileage un-
der the block system, and the lower
curve the percentage of total block
ing that is automatic. 1t will be noted
that for the year ended June,
1905, about 23 per cent of the total
railroad mileage Of the United States
was under the block system, this %
per cent representing approximately
10000 miles Of road. 1t is significant
that since 1892 there has been an IN
crease from 2 per cent to % per cent,
Notwithstanding the enormous actual
increase in railroad mileage during
this period.
Demand Legislation.
Immediate legislation looking to
the compulsory use IF the block sys-
tenn by al Railroads of the country,
is regarded now as necessary. For
several years bills, having this end in
view, have been introduced in con-
gress, but as yet none has become a
law. 10 such legislation the railroads
are, generally speaking, opposed. Cor
poratiOns often appear to evince
great antipathy to patented articles.
Experiments are, and ever have been,
6istasteful to them. Yet this con-
servatism of the railroad companies
has often provided nothing more than
tthn hnTtC CiO fn6n Er1v
they annually crushed out the life
of hundreds of trainmen engaged in
coupling cars. This was before the
act of congress of March 2, 1893, made
the use of automatic couplers COM
pulsory, even after their utility had
been fully established. Legislation
was also required to enforce the use
Of the now standard air brakes.
A recent technical journal says:
"Eetterments have invariably been
found, perfected, aud applied by the
men whose business it is to make
transportation, and it happens that the
function of the lawmaker has never
been atlvantageously applied to CON-
puls0ry use until after the substan-
tial perfection and long-continued
voluntary use of the devices for bet
terment."
A Step in the Right Direction.
From an unprejudiced consideration
of the manner in which the block sys-
lem has vindicated itself in service,
when properly enforced, it appears
that substantial perfection" has now
been reached. Its use, also, on some
of the more progressive roads has GER
tainly been "long continued" It
would seem, therefore, that the time
for the lawmaker is at hand.
AS a step in this direction Public
Resolution No. 46 has been passed by
the last congress. The resolution pro-
vides: "That the Interstate Commerce
Commission be, and it is hereby, di-
rected to investigate and report on the
use of and necessity for block-signal
systems and appliances for the auto
matte control of railway trains in the
United States. For this purpose the
commission is authorized to employ
persons who are familiar with the
