THE WOODEN CAR QUESTION

New Haven, Conn, Sept. 13-In
the investigation which the Inter-
state Commerce Commission is max
ing of the recent wreck on the New
Haven railroad, the wooden question
plays an important rart 1t Is TN
derstood that q number of such cars
are in use and the conditions un-
der which they are employed will
figure largely in the testimony, and
be sought to show how much delay
and expense would he really necess-
airy as maximum if the road wore
anxious to do its best in requipDina
itself. There is a good deal of
ground for the demand for improved
equipment, but that is a matter al
ready very thoroughly covered SO
far as the public is interested by
former inquiries. There is also SER
ious doubt as to the standards of di-
cipline enforced upon employees; a
question quite as vital to safety in
travel as the best equipment.
