Commenting upon these facts, the re-

THE commission again Is compelled
to note the exceedingly large proper
ton of train accidents due to derelic-
tion Of duty on the part Of employees
Fifty-siX Of the accidents investigated
during the year or nearly "A per cent
Of the whole number, were directly
caused by mistakes of employees.
These mistakes were of the same ma
ture as those noted by the commits
sion in its last annual report, namely
disregard of fixed signals; improper
Tagging failure to obey train orders;
improper checking of train register;
Misunderstanding Of orders; occupy
ing main track on time Of superior
train; block operator allowed train to
enter occupied block; dispatcher gave
lap order or used improper form Of
order; operator made mistake in copy

approaching train; excessive speed,

These errors are exactly the ones
which figure in the causes Of train
