is, however, risks are far from the possible
minimum. Confusion and awkwardness in

speed. And finally, and above all. the long
hours of work must be considered. AS TO
this, let me quote what yardmaster SAID
to me:
up to last year il was not at all un-
common for a man to be called out to
work twenty-four to thirty-slx hours at a
stretch Now they have passed a law
making sixteen hours the limit for a rail-
road man. Yardmen usually work twelve
hours, but when the yards are pressed
they often work a brakeman the sixteen
hour limit. And when man works six
teen hours at a stretch 1t often means that
he has been awake for eighteen or twenty
hours, because there is a rule that man
must be called two and half hours be-
fore he goes on duty. Shorter hours-an

Twenty of the men in our list were killed

we know the cause, was due to what is
called in law an "act Of God" All could
have been humanity avoided. The tele-

the engineer and hremen who caused an
other, need not have been careless, so far
as We know. The three old weak cars
