TOLL OF RAILROADS.

Washington. d. C.-According to
figures compiled by the interstate
commerce commission, the number of
lives lost on railroads in the United
States in twenty-four years ended in
October, 1912, reached the appalling
total of 1S7.037. In addition to that
number being killed there were 1885,
61S persons injured. This is an aver
age of 1888 persons killed and 5S,15S
injured each year. or an annual total
OF nearly $4,000. This means that for
every day during the past twenty-four
years, 1S1 persons have been killed or
injured, making eight per hour, or one
every seven minutes. This statement
comes out at a time when the safety
appliance division of the interstate
commerce commission is about to be-
gin hearing at Bridgeport, Conn, in
to the causes leading up TO the Stam-
ford wreck, which caused many fatali
ties and the destruction of an i'm
mense amount of property.

WORKERS GET REVERSAL.

Washington Announcement has
been made of the reversal by Judge
Downey, the new comptroller, of the
decision of former Comptroller Trace
we'll, in which time off on account of
injuries was charged against the fif-
teen days annual leave granted such
employees. Judge Downey held that
while the leave act of 1901 and the
compensation act of 1908 bore rela-
ton each to the other. they must be
contrued as separate acts. and that
the portend of the workmen's COM
pensation act was purely beneficial,
and consequently, should not be con-
strued to deprive or charge a benefit
against the employe, which would be
done if time off with pay ON account
of injury was charged to annual leave.
Consequently. all employees of the
navy yards, arsenals, shore stations,
and government manufacturing plants
throughout the country will get they
annual leave irrespective of time of
for injuries.

in Colorado. Persons desiring a Ii
cense to serve the public as BARRIERS
must present to the state board of eX-
aminers the certificate of reputable
physician showing that they are free
from any infectious or contagious dis
ease. Proprietors are now held liable
for having in their employ BARRIERS or
apprentices who are not provided with

by the law has power to appoint dep
uties where they are deemed necss'
sary, and city and village officials are
required to furnish the state board
with the names of all BARRIERS working
in their territories that it may know if
any BARRIERS are working without a
license. BARRIERS are prohibited by law
from serving any one afflicted with

Commissioner of Property Thum
Against Salary Assignments.

Commissioner of Property Otto F.
Thum this week sent a notice to
heads of various departments warming
employees against assignments OF
wages, a system that had grown to
startling proportions under the pre-
yious city administration. Following
is copy of Mr. Thum's Instructions
departments that hereafter the assign
ment of salaries will not be counte
nanced, except in cases where some
emergency might arise whereby it
might become necessary for an en-
ploye to make an assignment in order
to carry them over some unavoidable
embarrassment However such cases
of this kind must be referred to me.
If, in my opinion, think the circum-
stances warrant / will be glad to per
sonally o. X such assignment. With
out such personal approval, assign
ments will not be honored by the audi
tors office, owing to arrangements
made with his department to that
effect. 1t is not my desire to in
sinuate that any of the employees in
your department have been in the
habit of assigning wages in the past.
! give you this as information as to
policy my department intends to pur-
sue for the future.
Yours very truly,
lotto F. THUM."
