Reports Covering a Five Year Period
Fix Blame for Nearly -Four
rfundred Collisions.

Summarizing the quarterly bulletin
which has been issued by the Inter-

the last fiye-year period, throws u
flood OF light on the causes Of railroad
collisions Examination has been
made OF 10 bulletins which report and
classify AS accidents of this kind OF

The number OF people kllled in this
class cf accidents was "a, while the
accidents in the FIRST class formed 10
per cent. of the total, resulted in 50
per cent. of the fatalities (90D. and
were responsible for 10 per cent. OF
the money loss OF s4,777,2tb.
To show the efficiency OF signal sys-

sify collisions, t11 In automatic signal
systems, t2) IN places not so equipped,
(3) those OF which the automatic sig
nal would have given warming and
holds block signal systems would have
afforded no additional protection
In the first classification there are
is accidents. only one of which was
due TO failure 0f the system, as against
IL for which failure to obey or set Sig

two collisions out of the 81 In class two
were caused by failure of signals The
remaining 90 were due TO negligence

More than S$1 collisions are classe
as preventable by the automatic block

that there Is no reason to believe that
all OF these would have been avoided
by signals since in the first two classes
"a per cent. OF the accidents were due
TO errors OF signal men and disregard
or signals by trainmen and engln GERS.
The conclusion drawn by railroad
