Special attention was paid TO devices
for the automatic stopping OF trains
THE development OF the automatic
ceeded far enough TO warrant the expec-
alton that by it's use greater safety
can be secured In the operation OF trains.
Railroads should be given to understand
that the automatic train stop must be
developed by them as rapidly as pos
sible'
The board also recommends that rail-
road tracks be Enclosed and laws agains:
trespassing enforced. II also says there
should be complete cooperation Of the
state and federal governments on the
ono hand and railroad companies on the
other to bring about more stable condi-
tons throughout the entire country:
piecemeal legislation should be brought
together and harmonized into general
enactments comprehensive In character
and based on the best standards OF prac-
tice, and that the enforcement OF this
general legislation be intrusted to body
having powers similar in character to
those administered by the railway de-

NJ free entry from Canada into the
United States Of wood pulp and paper
made from the timber of certain crown
lands in Quebec on which that province
recently announced 1t had removed export
restrictions.
The President sustained the decision OF
Secretary MacVeagh, OF the Treasury De-
partment. that Quebec's action was not
sufficient to entitle these products to free
,mportation under the only operative
clause OF the Canadian reciprocity agree
ment which abolished the duty OH wood
pulp and paper provided Canada did not
restrict their expectation in any manner.
The action forestalls the reported plan
OF four big paper manufacturers Of Can
ada 20 send a large shipment Of paper to
this country.
Secretary MacVeagh found after an ex-
tensive investigation that Quebec had not
actually removed the restrictions on the
exportation OF the timber grown on tho
lands involved.
