Golfers Weekly is out in very
strong editorial indorsing President
Wilson. Among other things the
editorial says:
"Mr. Wilson is an American pa
triot and a citizen, not of his own
parish only, but of the world. His
Presidency, opening with the enact
ment of promised legislation, has
been troubled by private bereave-
ment, by Mexican explosions, by par
tisan ebullitions, and by the greatest
war in present memory. Whatever
mistakes we have charged the Presi-
dent with, we have never charged
him with losing his head. His atti-
tude toward events in Mexico and in
Europe alike has been distinguished
by largemindedness that we frank
lvenvy him. We congratulate this
country of ours that he has been our
White House ruler in these months
of storm.

Because, labor. as we'll as the en-
ployers of labor, owes profound duty

fore it can make the most of its match

carrying more than 30 cars-a1d out Of
these So injuries II were no more seri
GUS than getting cinder in the eye. 1r
varying degrees the other roads show
the same general facts.
Still more interesting, however, are
the statistics of the PUBLIC Service
Commission at Jefferson City which is a
record of all railroad accidents and their
causes. The report for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1913, shows the follow
ing facts: Out of total of 48 railroad
employees killed in Missouri during that
year, 10 lost their lives in collisions, IA
by falling off trains, 2 by jumping on
or off trains, were struck by trains
and 4 were killed in coupling cars. In
other words SO out of 48 were killed
through contributory carelessness of
their own in one way or another, Again
lO4 were injured in collisions, 209 in
falling off trains, 220 in jumping on or
off trains, Is were struck by trains,
while SO were injured in coupling cars
again showing the overwhelming ele-
ment of contributory negligence upon
the part of employees themselves. On
the other hand, the records show that
only one trainman was killed in the
State during the entire year and only
Z injured from defective cars or engines
thus completely disproving the wild
statements made by the Full Crew.
literature concerning the wrecks caused
by ''loose car doors,'' dragging
BEAMS" "broken rods, =" etc.
In view of these incontrovertible
facts. what becomes of the absurdly
exaggerated statments on bill boards
etc., that 'trainman Is killed or Grip
pied every seven minutes?" A further
analysis of the Public Service Commits
sion figures show that only an average
of four trainmen were killed per month
while only an average of four were in
jured per day on all the railroads of
Missouri during the year-and yet this
is the kind of argument upon which the
voters of Missouri are asked to fasten
an additional burden of more than q
half million dollars yearly upon the
transportation companies Of the State!

In its 1912 report, the Interstate
Commerce Commission says: 1.-THE

dents caused by dereliction Of duty by

prove their case? Doesn't any intelli
gent reader know they would have don,
so if the records were not against them
AS matter of fact, the ratio of acct
dents on every railroad in the country
regardless of "Full Crew" laws vary
in proportion to the number of mer
employed-for just as you cannot regu'
late the amount of rainfall by law so you
cannot eliminate the human element Of
! carelessness in men.
Taking Care Of Present Employees
To make long story short, the whole
"Full Crew" propaganda is nothing
more or less than cleverly conceived
appeal to to the sympathy of natural
ly sympathetic public-a house of cards
which falls to pieces the moment it is
brought in contact with the cold facts
of past experience.
In their frantic efforts to curtail ex-
penses during the last several years,
the railroads have been compelled to
lay off thousands of former employees
and at this moment hundreds of
clerks, section men and others are CIV
en- ''furlough" of several days per
month in order that they may not be
left without position entirely.
Instead of legislating hundreds of
extra brakemen" into useless jobs,
would it not be better to put the rail-
roads in position to re-employ many
men whom they have had to lay off and
keep all employees working full time?
Summing the whole matter up, Propo-
sition No. 8 deserves to be emphatical-
ly defeated. for the following concrete
reasons:
Because, it is just as wrong to try to
regulate by law the number of men a
railroad shall hire as it would be to at
tempt to regulate by law the number of
farm hands or clerks which farmer or
merchant shall hire.
Because, we have a Public Service
Commission which has full power to
compel any railroad in Missouri to hire
additional brakemen or any other kind
OF workmen if. after due inquiry, it
deems them necessary for the good of
the public or of the employees them
selves-a Commission created for this
specific purpose and which is in posi-
