The poor, down-trOdden and
much-abused railroads are going
to test the new law enacted by
Congress which provides that in
a telegraph Office that is open
during the twenty four hours, no
operators shall work more than
nine hours. on the ground that
it is class legislation. They estl-
mate that it is going to increase
the expenses of the roads of the
country about $1O,OOO,OOO an
nually, and one western road has
figured out that the new law will
increase it's expenses 100000
a year. 1t is very probable that
these staticians never consider
that there will be fewer wrecks
and a greater saving of lives un-
der the new law, which will pre-
vent the companies from having
over-worked operators at the
desks. which has been the cause
of a large number of accidents.
