TO STOP TRAMP LOSS

The special police force of the LIE
high Valley railroad is preparing to
make concerted effort to do away
with the annual Eruption OF tramps
which comes around as regularly as
the spring. It has been instructed
to arrest all trespassers on the rail-
roads property and have them prose-
cuted before the local magistrates In
addition to this reports will be re-
ceiyed from all those Interested in the
I.ehigh Valley Safety committees
which include practically every en-
a gathering of these thoboesp IN any
freight yard or terminal, it will be
promptly reported and there will De a
sudden roundup of tramps
The general public fails to realize
the enormous amount of damage done
by these trespassers. 1t has been IS
timated at $25, 900, 600 year, and the
damage to private property is prob
ably far greater. Officers OF charlt-
able societies, who have made study
of the tramp problem, declare that
stolen transportation is its worst as
pect. If railroads would have all
trespassers arrested, and if the local
authorities would mete out proper
punishment, most of the damage done
by tramps-break king into cars, tam
pering with equipment so as to cause
accidents, assault on railroad en-
plOy0S, theftS, DurnlnSSs anu O0pE6uh-
tions along the 1ine-wou1d be pre-
vented.
The Lehigh Valley has been one of
the most active railroads in attempt
ing to end this abuse, but the 1enity
of local magistrates has initiated
against the success of their efforts.
To put a tramp in jail is expensive
for a small community, so the author
ities generally content themselves
with telling the offender to ''move
on" Thus he is merely dumped upon
some other community. If the tres
passers killed on railroad property
were deducted from the annual ac-
cident statistics, the number of vic
TINS would be surprisingly small If
all trespassers could be excluded, so
that the accidents due to their tam
pering no longer occurred, the total
would dwindle still further and in
fact practically disappear.
The spirit of desperate adventure
which characterizes the 'hobo'' is
epitomized in the remarks of a tramp
out West who dropped off at way
station in Wyoming
My partner went on he said, ''but
I don't like the sheriff at Rock
Springs. He always shoots you in the
legs but my partner has one wooden
leg, so he figures that he has even
chance"

the rotary movement.
