MEN HEAR
VALUE OF SAFETY
)ne Man Killed Every Four Min
utes in American Indus
tries, Expert Declares.
Special to the Evening Star.

Special to the Evening Star.
ATLANTIC CITY, Oct. 15.-The
value of safety. as applied to electric
railway lines, is being discussed here
+ today by the American Electric Rail-
way AssociationF 1t began yesterday
afternoon at joint session of the
Claims Association and the Transpor-
tation and Traffic Association.
! There was special address made
! in the afternoon by F. w. Stevens, OF
New York, of the valuation board of
! the New York Central lines. He made
the point that it was very necessary
for all railroad lines to set or estab-
fish a definition of what value is.
After centuries of effort and expert
ence, he said, nobody knew just what
the definite value of realty is. And
it has been established by the STU
preme Court of the United States that
valuation may be considered by 1t
only when low rates Of charges and
fares threaten to confiscate the prop
critics. The court, he said, made this
decision and thus protected the rail-
way properties.
A uniform system Of accounts for
all public service commissions was
advocated In a speech by nj. Glover,
of Mobile, president of the Account
ants Association. In speaking OF
"safety first" e. C, Henderschott, of
the New York Edison Company, said:
I'm American industry man is
being killed every four minutes and a
man is wounded every four seconds"
He declared that more than $4,000
LII - nh,
year, which was more than the total
number of Northerners killed on the
field of battle during the Civil War.
Mr.. Henderschott reviewed the vari-
Gus causes for accidents and placed
LIQUOR as one of the leading reasons.
Carelessness, he said, was responsible
for rs per cent. of the accidents. He
advocated the creation of safety de-
partment In all large Industrial con-
Germs, with safety engineer In
charge.
In an address before the parent as
ISOLATION President Black declared
that unless State commissions al
lowed a rate. of return commensurate
with the risks involved and with the
return which can be reasonably ex-
pected from other lines of industry,
it will be absolutely impossible to Sc
cure fresh capital either for extend
ing present plants or exploiting new
ones"
The national committee on the Joint
use of poles presented it's report. This
committee has been at work for two
years In devising specifications and
form of agreement governing the use
of the same poles by public utilities
whose wires carry varying voltages.
The committee believes 1t has obviated
\ 4
adoption of the agreement and speci-
f1cations will reduce the number of
poles In cities and villages about two
thirds.

Wesleyan University and comes emil
nently fitted to begin this great work

Directly before the exercises, the
academic procession, composed of the
