A Bad Railway Wreck.

A recent issue Of the London Engi-
neer contains an account Of railway
accident IN Australia in which forty
eight persons were killed and 419 were
injured. The Australian correspondent
writes:
"After the accident the state Of af-
fairs was rendered more horrible by a
fire which broke out Unlike the Amer
lean trains, Australian trains are not
fitted with axes, hammers, Jacks and
such appliances to facilitate the remov-
al Of the victims after an accident, and
great deal Of the trouble and even
many Of the deaths may be directly
traced to the delay IN extrlcating the
sufferers from the burning debris.
mot only is Victoria an example OF
a country where the railways are en-
tirely owned and controlled by the
state, but for many years it has been
held up as a model Of the advantages
which follow that political system. At
one time In this state Of Victoria public
safety was regarded as Of greater con-
than revenue Latterly, how
ever. the local press has been COM
planning that too great economies are
being practiced for ss.ety."

EUROPEAN STREET RAILWAYS
Municipal Operation Is Resulting In
Slow Development and Poor Service.

Municipal Operation Is Resulting IN
Slow Development and Poor Service.
Under municipal operation, or the
threat Of IT, the development Of street
railways In Europe has proceeded
along different lines from those fol-
lowed in this country. Here we have
had a rapid extension Of track into
new and often temporarily unpro-
ductive territory, long hour service,
high speed and free transfers. In Eu-
rope the track pushes slowly even into
well settled suburbs, the hours Of serv-
ice are shorter, the cars are slow, and
no transfers are given. The one adj
vantage that the European has secured
is low fare for a short ride, and even
this fare is not as low as appears on the
surface on account Of the higher value
Of money in Europe as measured In
terms Of wages. Briefly, however, 1t
may be said that In Europe cheapness
has been secured at the cost Of quality
Of service. The same conditions are
apparently resulting from the semi
municipal ownership which has just
gone into effect In Cleveland. The peo-
pie Of this country want good service
first Of all, and they are willing and
able to pay for it. With us cheapness
is a secondary consideration, as any
city will find to It's sorrow II 1t secures
cheapness at the cost Of service.

EMPLOYEE STOCKHOLDERS.
A Boston Corporation Shares Its Profits
With Its Employees.

A Boston Corporation Shares Its Fronts
With Its Employees.
OF the o,Os6 preferred stockholders
of the Massachusetts gas companies
ESQ are employees Of the Boston Con-
solidated Gas company under the prof.
It sharing plan, placed In operation
two years ago at the time the sliding
scale act was adopted.
Under the terms of the profit shar-
ing plan any person who has been In
the employ Of the company for one
year or more who Is Of good habits,
faithful energetic and honest Is paid
the same premium or dividend on the
amount Of his compensation that the
stakeholder receives as dividend on his
nvesment-viz, as the Boston Consol-
idated Gas company paid per cent
on It's stock in the June 30 fiscal year
the employees received an addition OF
8 per cent in their annual salary.
The amount set aside for employees
Is not paid in cash, but IS credited to
them. and when a sufficient sum ac-
cumulates to enable the purchase Of
one or more shares Of the preferred
stock of the Massachusetts, gas COM
panies the president Is authorized to
make the purchase. When this stock
is once purchased It becomes the ab-
solute property Of the employee, and
he has the right to do with It as he
sees ft, but before selling 1t he must
first notify the president Of his inten-
ton TO do so. and If there IS any rea-
son why he should sell it-because or
The actual need of the money, for In
stance-he may dispose Of 1t without
restrictions. On the other hand, II In
the opinion of the chief executive no
good reason exists for disDosing OF the
stock the employee may sell II, but
he Will be dropped from the profit
sharers list In the future. Provision
Is also made that any balance that Is
not used for the purchase Of Massa-
chusetts gas stock be placed TO the
credit of the employee on the books
of the company at per cent interest
The object Of this plan is to secure
better results from employees and to
encourage them to be frugal and eco
nomical Every employee except the
president is eligible as a profit sharer
In the past fiscal year the company
paid about $4,000 in premiums to Its
employees.-Progressive Age.
