Physicial Tests For Employes.

49, = Il o.
One of the leading, railroad COM
panies in the East has decided to
establish a rule for physical tests
before employing men which will be
as severe as that required for enter
ing the army or navy This, decision
u.s. based on the NEW Fs&eralr aem-
ployers' liability act, passed by the
last Congress, the lroad taking
the position that in order to avoid
the payment of heavy damages 1t
will be necessary to require high
er degree Of efficiency among en-
ployes than heretofore.
The travelling public will be pleas
ed to learn of the new rule. AS a
general proposition, railroad men are
a rugged lot, but the reports of the
interstate commerce commission
show that many accidents are traced
to the physical ineficiency of rail-
way trainmen. 1t will be better for
mankind if employees charged with
the transportation and care of hui
man lives are required to show a
clean bill of mental and moral
health before they secure or are al
lowed to retain their positions

Brought Congress-
FiSher of
Fisher, Of Yal

Washington, D. Professor Irv-
ing Fisher, of Yale University, read a
paper before the international Con-
gress on tuberculosis which created a
decided sensation. Professor Fishers
paper was on THE Cost of Tubercu-
1osis, and he made the startling an
nouncement that the great white
plague costs in hard cash over one
billion dollars year.
He estimated that consumption
kills $4,000 persons every year in
the United States This is equal, he
said, to the deaths from typhoid
fever, diphtheria, appendicitis, men
nights, diabetes, smallpox and cancer
all put together. Then again, he said,
it generally takes three years to die,
during which time thepoor victim can
earn little or nothing.
Sc Five million people now living in
the United States are doomed to fill
$consumptives graves unless some
thing can be done to prevent 1t, de-
clared Professor Fisher. AS each
death means anxiety and grief for a
whole family, estimate that there
will be over twenty million persons
rendered miserable by these deaths"
The scourge, he said, picks out its
victims when they are young men and
young women, at the very time of life

when they are beginning to earn
money. The minimum cost of doc
tors bills, nursing, medicines and loss
of earnings amount to over $4,000 in
each case, while the earning power
which might have been if death had
not come brings the total cost to at
least $4,000 for each Individual
If this sum is multiplied by the
$4,000 deaths, the cost, 1t is seen,
Is bigger than the immense sum of
Professor Fisher es-
timated that over half this cost falls
upon the victims themselves, but the
cost to others than the consumptive
is over $40, 100000 year.
AS a matter of self-defense, he
averred, it would be worth while to
the community in order to save mere
1y quarter of the lives now lost by
consumption to invest $500, 000,-
600. At present only fraction of
one per cent of this sum is being
used to fight the disease
Professor Fisher expressed his be-
lief that isolation hospitals for in
durable consumptives are the best in
vestment of all, because in this way
the most dangerous consumptives are
prevented from spreading the disease
by careless splitting in their homes
and neighborhood.

Washington, D.. Accidents in
coal mines of the United States dur

1916 more, according to statistics

Survey The death record among the
coal miners during the year was
greater by 1893 than in 1906, and is
said to have been the worst year in
the history of the coal mining indus

full extent of the disasters, as re-

States having no mine inspectors

death rate in 1907, 1885 per thou

number reported during the last year.
'947 deaths and 343 injuries resulted
from gas and dust explosions, and 201
deaths and 416 injuries were caused
by powder explosions. The chief
cause OF death among the miners, the
report explains, was due to the falling
of mine roofs and coal. Such disas-
tiers caused 1872 deaths and 2141
injuries.
