heartily with the legal auInOEltltS III SEEMING ~
punish the derelict employees, and the result mas
been that in recent months accidents due to this
cause have been greatly minimized-
Other causes of wrecks figuring largely in the
totals include impenetrable fog, binding snow
broken rails open or defective switches, and the
crminality of train wreckers bent upon robbery
Organized efforts to capture and punish the wreck
ers have been instituted and the precautions taken
against their plotting have prevented numerous
wrecks. Track inspectors and private detectives
have performed efficient lifesavng work along
this line.
The list of the principal accidents OF the classes
here considered. during the year, including satur-
day December 2S. is follows:
