OF IMPORTANCE TO SHIPPERS.
Special Meeting of Industrial Traffic
League Called in Chicago.

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec IA number
of important matters affecting ship
pers and railroads will be considered
at special meeting of all the stand
ing committees of the National Indus
trial Traffic league to be held here
next Tuesday. Though such meet
ing of the leagues committees is an
unusual affair, officers of the organi-
cation in Chicago have stated that the
conference was not for the purpose of
meeting any. exigencies, but to dispose
of important matters not concluded
at the annual meeting of the league.
One of the most important ques-
lions which is to come up concerns the
progress of work toward securing uni
form classification of freight through
out the United States. The railroads
uniform classification committee has
been at work for two or three years,
and has made no report. so that the
results of the work are not known ex-
cept to the roads themselves. Ship
pers maintain that they should be
furnished with some information as to
how near they are to uniform ratings,
descriptions of freight, car load mini
mum and rules which are being sought
to do away with the present lack of
system prevailing in the several class
ification territories.
At Tuesdays meeting some report
will also be made on the long and
short haul question.

JARRELL FINDS PROSPERITY.
Santa Fe Press Agent Pleased With
the Winter Outlook.

J. F. farrell. press agent for the
Santa Fe, who has just returned from
a trip in Colorado, says that the Ark
ansas Valley, between Pueblo and La
Junta, is furnishing feed this winter
for 100000 sheep, mostly from New
Mexico. There is an abundance of
feed in the valley, the climate is mild,
and the yardage and shipping facilities
along the Santa F'e are sufficient to
meet every demand. Many cattle from
northern Colorado, also are being win
tered in the Arkansas Valley in Colo
RADIO.
The Arkansas valley in western
Kansas also is wintering thousands of
head of stock, but they are Kansas
droves, as a rule. Some of the largest
ranches in the country are in the Ark
ansas valley in Kansas, and the
ranchers raise enough feed to carry
their stock through the winter. How
ever, several localities in western
Kansas, are taking care of large out
side herds.

Regularity and Safety of Pas
senger Trains, First.
This Is Paramount Issue in
Operation of Railway.
SACRIFICE OF SPEED.
This Is Safest Course Prescrib-
ed by All Roads.
Other Items Of General Interest
in Traffic World.

The rules adopted by the American
Railway association, which form the
| basis of rules. and regulations that are
in force on nearly all railroads in the
United States, clearly prescribe the
course to be followed in order to bring
| about regularity and safety, says the
Railway Review. The safety of trains
and passengers is of paramount con-
Sideration, and to this all work OF con-
struction and maintenance of railroads
must be subordinated, together with
regularity of train service and the COM
fort and convenience of passengers.
Rules are made to be obeyed strictly,
IN order to make them efficient, and if
there are any rules that cannot or
ought not to be enforced, they ought
not to exist. The first and last rules,
respectively, as contained within the
book of regulations of many railroads
and printed conspicuously so as to en-
phasize their Importance, read about as
follows:
I'm case of doubt, adopt the safe
course. Speed must always be sacri-
feed for safety"
take no risks. Remember that 1t is
better to be delayed by adopting safe
course than to have a train meet with
accident by neglecting to take all pre-
cautions possible
With all persistent efforts, therefore,
which have been made. and are con-
stantly being made by railway Off
Gals to bring about conditions of reg
ularity and safety in the operation and
maintenance of railroads, it is a mat
ter of great discouragement to discov-
er that accidents on railroads are on
the increase, instead Of on the de-
crease.
/ Many of the railroads. being keenly
awake to the situation, are inaugural
ing a systematic campaign in order to
bring before their employees the situa-
ton through lectures and other means,
with the object in view of educating
them for the observance of greater
safety and care.
The interstate commerce commission
has published, in tabulated form, fig
ures showing the number of persons
killed and injured on railroads in the
United States. All railroads are re-
quired by law to report all person1 In
juries and all accidents, and the fig
ures are. therefore. authentic. What IS
more, they are appalling, and we must
ask ourselves the question: What
should be done, with these appalling
conditions facing Us, to improve mat
ters?' Let us quote from Mr.. Rach-
ards book, for an aswer: I'VE must
have Regularity and Safety and in
order to have these. we must have CO.
operation. Let the example of older
men in the service be an influence, a
the right standard, thereby decreasing
the risk of death and injury for ALL and
at the same time increasing the eff
ficiency of the organization for which
