DISASTERS
DISCUSSED
Report Of Interstate Com.
merCe Commission Takes
up Railroad Accidents
tay Associated oressD

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-"Safety
first" is the paramount rule of train
operation suggested by the interstate
commerce commission in its twenty
sixth annual report submitted today
to congress. Discussion Of disasters
on American railroads during the last
year constitutes an important feature
OF the report.
1t is pointed out that many Of the
accidents resulting In fatalities might
have been averted by the exercise OF
proper precaution or the employment
of suitable devices and good equip
ment. Figures given show that OF
the total Of S,215 derailnents during
the year, 1877 vera caused by defects
Of roadway and 3,S47 were due to de-
fective equipment. This indicates an
increase over the previous year OF
652 in the derailments due to bad
roadway, and 1923 due to bad equip
ment.
The investigation by the commits
sion itself of railroad accidents in
volving loss OF life, the report says,
"has proceeded far enough to indi-
cate the need of more effective meas
ures than thus far have been taken
TO secure safety OF railroad travel
While the previous suggestions OF the
commission as to the adoption by the
railroads OF all.steel, or steel under
frame, cars are being adopted "as rap.
idly as conditions will permit" and
the danger from the use of unsound
cars is gradually disappearing" the
serious dangers Of defective roadway
and the use of unsound rails still re-
main, as a result of which derailments
are likelE ct any time to occur. Con-
corning its Investigations, the com.

in all the remaining cases no ade

and in 3 cases the track conditions
were so obviously unsafe that derail-
ments were likely to occur even at
low speed. In one serious derailment
