ORGANIZED RAILROAD
WORKERS OF COUNTRY
WIN DOUBLE VICTORY

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 10
The organized railroad workers of
this section scored signal victory
when despite the solid opposition of
their employers, the president signed
two bills just enacted into law by
congress compelling the railroads, un-
der penalty, to equip their cars with
uniform safety appliances and amend
ing the employers liability act so
that suit may be brought at the resi-
dence of the plaintiff and in the state
courts.
These bills have been hard fought
by the railroad interests who tried
every trick conceivable to prevent
their passage, at last resorting to
amendments containing the usual
"iokers,' but for reasons probably
best known to politicians the mea-
sures were approved in the form
the workers demanded.
Of utmost Importance is the new
law calling for the standardizing of
safety appliances. For years the rail-
road men have appealed to congress
to stop the frightful slaughter among
them caused by the absence of a uni
form system of safety appliances.
Commission to Name Appliances.
The new law provides that the in
terstate commerce commission, after
hearing, shall designate the number,
dimensions, location and manner of
application, of sill steps, hand brakes,
ladders, running boards, and grab
movement of cars with these appli-
ances in any way defective.
Terrible tales of criminal neglig-
ence on the part of the railroads have
been told to the house committee on
Interstate and foreign commerce,
while the bill was in its hands, Frank
c. Hawley, international president of
the SWitchmen Union, in reciting the
dangers of his trade, said:
"SWitchmen are constantly com
PEELED to jump on cars when they are
moving, and it is a practice for them
to grasp the grab iron on the side
OF the cars and be thrown. When a
man IS thrown, he naturally expects
to find his feet landing in a uniform
place. If it is not uniform his foot
may go below the stirrup or through
the stlrrup. If 1t goes below the
stirrup he is liable to put his foot on
the rail. Hence we find so manv
men with portions of their feet am
putated. If it goes in the stirrup he
Is liable to other terrible injuries.

as hump engines or hump yards

Fight for a Continuance
Of Slavery Or High Seas

Washington, D. c., April 15.-To Kill
the measure framed to prevent the
undermining of American vessels
and to encourage the training of Am:
erican boys for the merchant marine
service by abolishing the conditions
of slavery which now exist on ships
flying the American flag, officials of
the steamship companies, their cap
tains and counsel, appeared before the
house committee on Merchant Marine
and Fisheries at it's final hearing a1d
denounced Representative Spight's
bill from beginning to end.
"This bill limits the number of
hours of work and would destroy all
discipline on board ship" growled
Captain Leland in hoase voice sup
pressed from it's usual quarter back
dimensions to NEE the requirements
of the small committee room.
IF it were not for these. sea-law-
yers," continued the captain as he
glared in the direction of the repre-
sentatives of the sailors unions,
there would be no trouble, for the
ship owners have the sailors welfare
at heart and are their true fri ends.
