WORKlfEN'S PROTECTION on RAIL.
ROADS.

The enactment OF a workmen's com
pensation law by Congress for applica-
ton TO railroads engaged in interstate
commerce will. If properly accomplished,
mark the supplying of real and great
need and the abatement Of a serious evil
How great the need is may be estimated
from the fact that last year no fewer
than 100000 men were injured while
working on railroads. Many Of the in
iuries were doubtless very slight, and
many others were chiefly or entirely the
fault Of the victims. Eliminating these
from consideration, however, there re-
mained, and there remain each year,
many thousands Of cases Of serious in
jury in which the men are justly entitled
10 compensation on the principle that
the industry should bear its own risks.
Compensation Is, of course, made in
many cases partly through voluntary
mutual agreement and partly under va
rious state laws. In the last two years
more than 5000 fatal injuries were vol
UNFAIRLY settled for by payment of nearly
S3.5OOO00 to survivors. In 10 other
cases S357, ,S73 was paid on court judg-
ments-at a much higher rate per capita
than IN the voluntary settlements. In
other cases. Of total disability, perma-
nent partial disability and temporary
disability, the same rule prevailed. The
vast majority were settled voluntarily at
a much lower average rate than the few
which were settled through legal pro-
ceedings. The total sum paid by the
railroads in the period named was
50. 9.36S,3S4.
The magnitude of these figures sug
rests the urgent need of the most sys-
tematic and equitable method Of dealing
with all such cases for the sake Of both
parties concerned. This need Is empha-
sized by the circumstance that in the
cases which are settled by court judg-
ments the sufferer usually gets only
about one-half the award, the other half
going to the lawyers Obviously that is
unsatisfactory, excepting TO the lawyers.
The payments I'm judgments average
about twice as great as In voluntary set

roads, but II is no advantage to the men
injured, for they get no more than the
average in voluntary settlements. II
does an injured man no good to have a
big sum go to lawyer. II would be
lust as we'll for him TO get the whole Of
a payment of $1,000 10y the company as
10 get only half Of an award Of $1,000,
and II would be a great deal better for
the company.
What Is needed is q system under
which men will receive equitable indem-
mites for injuries for which they them
selves are not responsible, and the com.
panies will be relieved from the annoy
snce and expense Of blackmailing suits
instigated by speculative lawyers Of the

well recognize that fact.

penalties can such infringements upon

In the death of Charles S. Francis. of
Troy. the State Of New York has lost a
conspicuous and valuable citizen. Mr..
Francis was always willing 20 go out
side his chosen profession and accept
the obligations of public service. He
took an interest in the upbuilding of tho
militia and was for many years an off,
Get In the national guard. He con-
eerned himself with education, was
trustee of Cornell University and was
twice elected as member of the State
Board of Regents. He entered the
diplomatic service as young man, be-
Ing secretary to his father when the
latter was sent TO Greece as United
States Minister. and in later life he
himself was successfully Minister TO
Greece, Minister TO Portugal and Am

prietor and editor OF The Troy Times"
which he inherited. he preserved the
