Violations Of the SiXteen-Hou Law Strike at
Very Basis of RailroaddkE Elifaiciency Says MChord

Washington, Dec. 7.-"violations
OF the law limiting the service of
train employees on American railroads
to sixteen consecutive hours go to
the very heart Of the efficiency and
safety Of train operation" said Com
missioner Charles c. McChord, COM
menting upon a statement issued to-
day by the interstate commerce COM
mission analyzing the monthly reports
Of interstate railroads ON hours of
service during the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1918.
Nearly 100000 violations Of the 16-
hour law were reported by 269 rail-
roads during the year, the roads SUBJ
mitttng various reasons why such vio-
lations were necessary. The commits
sion's analysis points out, however,
that while this figure may appear alb
normal to the lay mind, 1t must be
remembered that 251,111 men were
employed in handling trains during
the year and that the excess service
probably would not exceed one in
stance to each employe.
1.-THE difference in efficiency and
safety of operation between various
railroad systems" Mr.. McChord said,
"is shown clearly by the commits
sion's analysis in the marked dispar-
ity between the ratio of excess serv-
ice to mileage between railroads serv-
ing practically the same territory.
For instance, one of the eastern roads,
operating more than $500 miles of
tracks, reports 5,224 instances In
which train men were on duty for

Prominent Cardinal, Close
Collaborator With Pope
Leo, Succurnbs.

Rome. Dec. 1.-THE death last
night Of Cardinal Rampolla. former
papal secretary. Of state, was not
made known ID the pope until this
morning when Cardinal Merry Del
broke the news.
They first told the pope that Ram
polla was seriously Ill. The pope beg
ged for the truth Immediately and
was greatly affected.
AS recently as Saturday the pope
had received Rampolla, who appeared
in his usual good health. Later the
pope issued this statement:
Cardinal Rampolla was one Of the
greatest men in the church. He had
become even greater since he re-
tired from state affairs"
His holiness ordered that the high
est honors be paid the deceased car
dinal.
Cardinal Rampolla was the closest
Sa With ar Pope Pc Leo reninn XIII
Christian churches. When Leo was
dying, Rampolla took a cablegram to
him in which it was stated that the
American Protestant congregations
were praying for his recovery.
Leo instructed Rampolla to write
a message Of great consolation. as it
proved the scheme for the reunion
VI SuuICHcS WdS uOt d OISdul.
Physicians declared Rampolla's
death is due to angina pectoris. He
suffered slight indisposition in the
early evening, and retired and grew
worse. Hurried messengers were
sent. for his secretary and physician,
but he was dead when they arrived.
The secretary performed the final
rites Of the church and then sent for
the prelate's sister. Baroness Carolina
Rampolla Pezzana.

periods longer than those provided
by law; while another road in the
same territory. with a mileage of less
than $500 miles, reports 22,663 such
instances.
Varied Experience.
"A comparison nf the figures sub
mitted by two other Of the principal
eastern lines shows. respectively, a
mileage of 2,25S, with 5,451 instances
OF excess service as compared with
1893 miles and 16.44S instances. In
the prairie country, one road with a
mileage Of 4,755. reports approxi-
nlately 10000 instances of excess SER
vice. while another road in the same
territory, with more than $500 miles
of tracks, reports only 2,310 instances
Of excess service.
I'm the southwestern territory, one
road. operating less than 6,4OO miles
of tracks, reports approximately L.
700 instances of excess service. while
another line, similarly situated, geo.
graphically, reports only ESQ instances
on mileage of more than 1904
miles. A corresponding comparison
between two roads in the northwest
ern section of the country shows a
mileage of approximately 5000 miles
with less than 500 instances of excess
service, while another road, with less
than 10000 miles Of line, reports
nearly 5000 instances of excess serv-
ice."

ice act, directed the preparation of
the analysis.
The law provides maximum Of
sixteen hours as the limit of contin-
uance service for train men engaged
in the physical operation of trains.
This law admittedly Is being violated

times unavoidably. The carriers are
required to report each instance in

Derailmcnts to Blanc.
The analysis shows that derail-
ments afforded the most prolific cause
of excess service, SS,317 cases being
attributed by the carriers to that gen.
eric cause. In 33,36O instances, the
delays were due to coupler and draw
bar defects, while 1875 cases were
attributable to miscellaneous car de-
fects. Landslides, high water and fire
were reported by the carriers involv-
ed. as responsible for 1885 cases:
and congestion Of traffic resulted in
1888 employees exceeding the limit
of service. In 1O,62O instances the
excess service was caused by track de.
fects and distractions not resulting in
collisions or derailments; while 9,9lO
cases were due primarily to collisions,

mont is investigating charges of ir-
regularities in dealings between John
Burke. commissary and manager of
the Panama canal work. the contrac-
tors who had been furnishing sup

propositions remained to be acted up
ON by the republican national COM
