THE RAILROADS DEATH TOLL.

THE report Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission for the two
years 1911 and 1912, each ending
on June 30, giving detailed figures ol
persons killed and wounded on rail.
roads in the United States shows that
in 1912 the killed numbered 1855 and
the wounded 169,53S.
In 1911 the killed were 1896 and
the wounded 15O,159 This astonish-
ing casualty and mortality showing
being comparably only to those killed
in some of the great wars. Few mod
ern wars have equaled in a year the
record Of the railroads.
or this number 400 railway em-
ployes killed and 92,263 injured were
reported under the head Of industrial
accidents" This class includes acci-
detns to railway employees in and
around shops, on boats and wharves,
at stations, freight houses, engine
houses, coaling stations, water sta
tions, on construction repair or paint
ing of buildings and such other acct
dents as do not occur in connection
with the moyemet Of locomotives or
cars on rails.
An analysis of the figures for the
year 1912 under review shows that OF
the number killed $685. were employees,
3lS passengers and G632 other persons,
trespassing and not trespassing, show
ing an Increase Of 80 in the total
Of employees killed. decrease
OF 30 in the total number Of passen-
gers killed and an increase of 1914 in
total number of persons killed other
than employees and passengers. OF the
persons injured 143,442 were employees,
1886 passengers and 1910 persons
other than employees and passengers.
These figures show an increase Of &c.
4O3 in the number Of employees, 1858 in
the number OF passengers, and 23 in
the number of other persons injured
when comparison Is made with the re-
turns for the year 1911,
1t is not stated how many passen-
gers were carried in either year. but
on the 100000 miles Of rail in the
United States the number must have
to many millions. The
death and injury rates are possibly not
extraordinary considering the number
of persons carried, but the figures are
very shocking, as they stand.

PARCELS POST OPPORTUNITY.

-HE parcel post which is now in
operation offers to all classes
merchant, producer and consum-
er the greatest opportunity for their
mutual profit of any governmental
act in generations. The extent to
which they benefit by it will depend
upon the extent and intelligence with
which they use It. The parcel post
has been opposed by some on the
ground that it would enrich the large
mail order houses at the expense of
the small merchants. Quite the con-
trary result should follow. It all de-
pends upon the merchant himself. If
he avalls himself of the parcels post
he will find that it will prosper his
business at the expense of the mail
order house, and that he will reduce
rapidly and substantially the exces-
sive trade which the latter now enjoys
with his natural customers.
The advantages Of the parcel post
are all on the side of the local mer-
chant in every city and town, large or
small, He enjoys special and lower
rates within the limits OF his zone,
which, in the case Of practically every
small merchant, covers his entire
trade and protects it from outside
competition. He gets quicker and
better service than distant competi-
tors, and can handle business through
the parcels post which they cannot
care for. He is vastly better off than
under the present system of express
service and rates, which serve the spe-
cial needs Of the great mail order
houses. In brief, the parcel post gives
the local merchant the precise facility
he needs for building up his business.
1t Is an opportunity brought right to
his door to get new trade in large and
constantly increasing volume, and the
extent to which his trade grows will
depend almost entirely upon the enter
prise with which he goes after It via
parcel post. It cannot possibly iniure
him if he is awake and alert to its adj
vantages
To the consumer and producer 1t |
fills n long felt want. II will from the |
very start invite closer relationship, |
and in time, as the service comes to (

should be the agency Of a tremend-
Gus volume Of dealing between them,
out Of which the producer will draw |
greater returns for what he has to sell |
and the consumer a material reduction |
in the cost Of living, with the added |
luxury Of supplying the table fresh
from the farm. The parcels post is
constructive national step of the first
magnitude, 1t is in line with progress
similar to that involved in the substi-
tuition OF the railroad for the stage
coach the steamship for the schoon-
or; the automobile for the horse; cleo /
tricity for steam machinery for hand
labor and with ultimate development
It's economic benefits will be almost
beyond computation.
