According to the bulletin referred
to the number of casualties to pas,
sengers and employees while on dug
for three months ending September
30, 1906, was 1850 as against 1897
for the three months. preceding. Think
of 1t, An increase of nearly three
thousand a month. At that rate the
railroads in this country are killing
and injuring nearly $1,000 people n
year And yet we talk talk gloomily
about the horrors of war. The war
Between the United States and Spain
in which several hundred thousand
men were engaged and in which there
were AT least three big battles. did not
result in half the number OF casualties
by the American railroads in one
year. Think of 1872 collisions and de.
railments in three months, or al the
rate of 14.6SS in a year. resulting in a
damage of nearly sl2.000,000 an.
nually. Even If one-half of the
amount represented by the damages
TO cars, engines and roadway were de
voted to proper safeguards and pre-
cautions against accidents the condi-
tions would be improved at least to
some extent.
