Chicago, Dec. 3L-The American
Railroad Employees and Investors as
socfation. which was started some
months ago with a view to protecting
railroad interests from unjust attacks,
will begin its active career on January

the organization, composed of railroad
presidents and the heads of the railway
labor organizations, met and perfected
a plan of organization and adopted by
laws and regulations. c. D. Kellogg,
editor of the Railway Conductor, was
selected to assist President Patrick H.
Morrissey as secretary in the conduct
of the association. According to the
plans as outlined by Mr.. Morrissey, the
nucleus of the organization will be the
individual railway systems, the en-
pIoyes of each to be organized into
branch with headquarters and sub
headquarters and each branch is to
have representation upon the state or
ganization. In this way each state in
the Union is to be organized and. the
state branches are to have representa-
ton in the national organization, with
it's headquarters in Chicago.
Regarding this comprehensive plan
Mr. Morrissey said: This is to be
largely a campaign of education. We
purpose treating the public fairly IN
the hope that we can induce the pubic

struck by lightning is among the lists
of Employees killed. returned to the
commerce commissions by the railways
has just been learned through recent
efforts to analyze the railway fatalities
and casualties in order to draft new
regulations to do away with the
sources of accident. 1t has been de-
cided that the railways have been car
rying a rather too severe burden OF
public odium on account of their lists
of employees injured. The lists have
been found to include among others;
Flagman at railway crossing, killed by
being run over by team; brakeman in
jured while cutting a hose with knife
which slipped; fireman injured by the
wind, which blew the cab door to and
hurt his knee; car repairer, hurt While
he was washing car windows and his
