And in spite of such facts, the
S.8 per cent is invariably made more
conspicuous in the public eye, thru
the channels Of publicity and the
lawmakers and lawbreakers than the
91.2 per cent.
The railroads, in other words. are
left unaided by law and public sem
timent. and but for their own re-
sources powerless to prevent the

a ruthlessly unjust discrimination,

being used for q Concert Hall and
the other for the Side Shows and

trouble and that was that neither

patronized this effort.
In the Concert Hall there was not
even standing room and many were
unable to get in. The program Of

TRESSPASS DEATH
RATE VERY LARGE

A total Of l03,566 persons have beel
killed as trespassers oI. railroad prop
erty in this country in the last TWEEN
ty-three years.
That is over SO per cent of all the
deaths on all railroads from all caus.
es in that length of time. 1t is over
thirty times as many as passengers
killed in accidents to trains, which
adoption Of such modern methods of
might have been prevented by the
prevention as steel cars, automatic
stops and signals.
Notwithstanding these astounding
disclosures, legislatures, both state
and national and railway commissions
do very little to minimize the slaugh-
ter of trespassers, while constantly
insisting on more rigid discipline for
the prevention of train accidents.
Railroads, in the meantime, con-
tinue to expend their millions toward
the perfection of safe travel. The
Union Pacific alone pays out 100000
annually merely to maintain it's auto
matte block signal system, the es-
tablishment of which has involved
millions.
This table of statistics showing
the fatalities by classification charg-
to the railroads Of the United States
from 1900 to 1912 inclusive is conclp-
sive of the need for state and nation
al legislation calculated to prevent
trespassing and cooperative with the
railroads In the great progress they
are making:
