'rnE NEW HAVEN WRECK.

\
We wonder how much the mental
the wreck near New Haven last Tues
DAY
Unless railroad men are very much
unlike workers in every other field
the chances are that they had been cx-
pcctil.g some such smash-up. Ever
since the Stamford wreck OF June ~
as our readers will recall the New
Haven has been under fire. The coro-
ner's inquest, the investigation by the
Interstate Commerce Commission and
newspaper agitation led the public To
believe that the New Haven system was
in Il complete state OF chaos. Natural
~ the trainmcn talked over the situa-
ton in the roundhouscs. in the dis
patchers' Offices, wherever they met;
naturally, too, every man wondered
If the accident which superstition told
them would follow that at Stamford
would be on their run: naturally. it
would seem. when the torpedocs cx-
ploded on tho track. the crew of tho
Inflated train had ii flash over them
that they were doomed.
BE this and later Developments a they
may. directly or indirectly, the disor-
Sanized condition of tho New York.
New Haven and Hartford is responsible
for tho disaster that cost the lives OF
Twenty-Five and brought injury to al
most half a hundred Men in no line
OF business can do effective work when
they feel that the management is
changing, and that shake-ups are i'm
pending, and that every servant OF the
corporation is in danger of losing his
place. Co operation, in a word, is pos
sibie only where there is general con-
ndcnce
We wonder too. whether or not this
wreck will lead TO that legislation
which will prevent such loss OF life.
Yet, when we remember the history of
all such efforts to arouse the public
in tho past, we must confess we are
not very hopeful. We let warnings
pass without protecting our ocean navi-
cation; we saw 1900 brave men and
women perish on the Titanic. and then
we raised a cry for safcty-require-
ments" that would prevent such castas-
trophies in tho future. a year has
passed since the Titanic went down,
ana what has happened? We have for
gotten tho lessons learned at the price
of so much valor and sacrifice; we
have put on our statute books scarcely
a single effective measure for life
saving at sea. So it has been with the
outbursts OF public Indignation that
have followed our land wrecks. We
demand Investigations. urge legislation,
criticize those who fail to give us what
We dcmand-and promptly forget.
This does not mean, however, that
we should be equally forGetful in the
future II rather means that we must
not allow our zeal TO die when memory
begins to shade toward forgetfulncss.
We must keep ever before us tho
dismal truth that for every day that
passes we kill ten men on the rail
roads Of America,
