ders or whether the state or county
should do this work.
In the last analysis successful road
making depends upon harmonious CO.
operation between individuals and
county, state and national authorities.
We may not have reached the stage
when state aid to the extent OF many
millions Of dollars is advisable, but
we certainly have reached the stage
when the burden should be taken from
the unsupported shoulders Of the
farmer, where it has rested all too
long. The farmer is perfectly willing
to do his share. He simply objects to
the policy which makes his share all
the work and little OF the credit OF 70.

ARMOUR BUYS ARGENTINA BEEF

Armour, upon arrival from Europe.
Mr. Armour denies the United States

Mr.. Armour returned with A. j.

Congressional AID
ENGINEERS ASK CONGRESS TO
ADOPT PRoTEscTIvE
MEASURES.
HAVE BACKING OF OTHER
TRAlNMEN's ORGANIZATIONS
Scores Of Employees Slaughtered or
Manned by Getting Caught Between
Trains and Observation-Disclosures,
Bridges and Buildings Close to
Tracks Constant Menace to Life.
Especial Correspondent

Washington, Oct. 24.-Locomotive
engineers, with the backing OF the or
ganizations of conductors, f1remen and
trainmen, are going to urge congress
the coming winter to enact legislation
which will stop the killing and MAIN
ing OF railway employees because of the
lack Of adequate clearance space be-
tween railroad tracks and the sides Of
bridges. tunnels, warehouses and the
like.
Every year, scores OF railway en-
ployes all over the country are slaugh-
tered or injured by getting caught be-
tween trains and distractions of one
kind and another close to the tracks.
The railroads have paid scant atten-
ton to the safety of their employees in
this particular. Trains are run daily
thru no end of tunnels and bridges. and
past no end Of buildings. chutes and
other distractions in yards and about
terminals where. if an employe gets
caught between the train and the OBJ
struction, he is crushed to death or
badly mangled.
Asks Passage Of Bill.
gneers, thru it's legislative representa-
tive. Herman E. Wills, formerly Of
Iowa, has set out to get a bill passed
which will compel the railroads to al
low for adequate clearance space be-
tween trains. and the sides Of tunnels,
bridges and other structures along the
tracks. The other organizations OF
railway employees will have a legisla-
tive representative in Washington this
winter and they will help along the
movement. It is the most important
protected piece of safety legislation for
railway employees which will be before
congress in the regular session.
Railroads Object.
Railroads are expected to antagonize
the demands Of the employees with
vigor. In the previous administration.
efforts were made by the railroad en-
ployes to get law which would rem
edy conditions. The railroads repre-.
scented that such legislation would cost
them $4,000, 900. They held that to
allow sufficient clearance space to pro-
tect a person between tracks and
structures along the tracks would COM
pei them to make changes in bridges.
tunnels and other constructions which
would foot up to enormous gums. They
carried their contentious to the White
House and impressed the president At
that time with them. One way and an
other, the proposed legislation was re-
pressed. Among the demands OF the
employees was one for maximum size
of car, since otherwise any law or reg
uIation would be worthless.
EMPLOYEES OF the roads insist the
cost figures given by the railroads are
exaggerated and that no such outlay
would be involved. Besides. they think
the cost will grow more and more in
stead of less and that the time to take
steps to stop the loss Of life Is now.
