was the Socialist one, with its full
parapbernalia OF red flags and other
implements of destruction. Out ia

5000. 900 IONS Of Rails.

According to a writer in the Engi-
neering and Mining journal there is q
total of 100000 tons OF steel rails
at present in use in this country. OF
this between 100000 and 100000 tons
are taken up every year and re-rolled
into lighter rails The capacity OF
the re-rolling mills of the country is
about 10000 tons per year, About
100000 tons of steel scrap are used
every year in steel manufacture. this
scrap taking the place OF about 4,0oo.-
600 tons OF iron ore. which would be
consumed were scrap not used in
steelmaking. Scrap is selling at pres
ent for sl2 per ton. compared with
s27 per ton for steel Sillets, The
price Of steel scrap and that OF pig
iron follow each other closely.

TO LACK Of THOUGHT
FATAL ACCIDENTS ON RAIL.
ROADS THUS AScRIBED.
Large Per Cent Of Fatalities Might
Be Avoided by the Exercise Of
Little Care on the Part of
the Employees.

A car-tink in Pittsburg. Kansas.
crawled under a string of cars to fix
the draw-gear of a number of them.
1t is a rule of every company-dic-
tated by common sense-that the car
repairer must put out blue flag on
the car on which he is working. II
he does not he is apt to be killed
under the wheels of his car when a
switch engine bumps into it. as 1t is
likely to do any moment The car
tink" at Pittsburg failed to put up a
blue flag and had both legs cut of in
less than ten minutes after he went
under the car.
A Frisco conductor gave his head
brakeman a switch list One car was
kicked onto a passenger track and
the brakeman in question threw the
switch for the adjoining track and
turned the "derail." The car was cut
of and the go ahead" signal was
given The next car was to be kick
ed back down the main line to the
caboose. The brakeman walked along
opposite the space between the last
two cars as the engine and eleven
cars moved out of the siding.
While the train was moving at the
rate of about four miles an he step
ped In between the last two cars and
gave the go ahead" signal with his
left hand TO the fireman. AS the fire.
man looked back he saw the brake
man fall out from between the cars.
An emergency stop was made and the
crew ran back to find that both his
legs had been cut off above the knee
He died within an hour. He had gone
between the cars to close an angle
cock. so that when the cars were
kicked down the main line they would
not stop when the air hose connec-
ton was broken. As he stepped be-
tween the moving cars he tumbled
over the "derailer" that he himself
had turned only a moment before.
Being given the switch list shows
that he was considered a capable
man. but he was probably in a hurry
and took chance, and practically
committed suicide.
At Newburg. Mo. brakeman was
killed in much the same way. He
thoughtlessly walked between two
cars to adjust the couplers at the ex-
act moment the engineer decided to
back up half a car length. AS a re-
suit the brakeman was caught
squarely between the two drawheads
and was quite dead when they took
