the cost Of overcoming the interference with
operation and in making good the losses for
which the company is responsible would be
guesswork.
James j. Hill. of the Great Northern Railroad,
wrote; Hundreds of idle men infest empty
cars on the Great Northern during the summer
months Tramps attempt TO secrete themselves
on every train at any risk considerable num-
Der OF these are killed or injured each year.
They get on and off trains while in motion and
some suffer in life and limb. Others fall off
when asleep. It would be difficult TO gather re-
liable statistics this point because large
percentage of the trampS reported as killed on
the railroads are really murdered. Men return
ing from the harvest fields with their wages
are killed for their money by other more vicious
and criminal fellows, the body is flung from
the train while in motion. and the reported
death by railroad casualty is actually a case or
homicide"
An official of the New York Central lines
wrote: Migrants ride on freight and passenger
trains; Impossible keep them off freight
trains. Driven off passenger trains. but in some
cases extra stops made to unload them Amount
of loss from theft of railroad property and the
pilferage of freight in transportation cannot be
estimated.
Nine hundred Migrants arrested on the
Pennsylvania Railroad last year for trespassng,
and that is only small proportion of the total
number travelling this railroad.
Railroad police have been mentioned as
probable cure for vagrancy, but ii goes only
short way. If a tramp is arrested but is dis
charged in court the lesson is of little value
he is then free to resume his Occupation" This
failure to punish In most cases may be laid TO
/ the matter of expense. Therefore. it is sug-
gested that the expense of maintaining prison
ers. or at least part Of IT, be shared by the state
