VENTILATION AND PURE
WATER FOR ALL TRAINS

Washington, Nov. 27.-"More deaths
are caused by improper ventilation of
train coaches and waiting rooms than
by train accidents" The COMMITTEES
on Railway Service and Railway Ac-
commodations. so reported to the an
nual convention of the National As.
ISOLATION of Railway Commissioners,
today.
THE noxious gases that fill coaches.
especially sleeping cars, In connection
with the peculiar character of dust
therein, is most conducive to germ
breeding where proper ventilation is
lacking" the committee added.
In regard to the lighting of railway
coaches, the committee say this prob
lem has been fairly satisfactorily
mastered on the trunk lines but on
many branch lines, the dingy, dirty
oil lamp is still in evidence A vigor-
Gus campaign against this condition
is recommended.
Carelessness in providing drinking
water at stations and on trains is
noted and 1t is recommended that
railroad commissions abolish the sta
tionary water cooler, prescribe a cool
er with a portable container. uniform
methods of cleansing such containers.
sanitary methods of handling ice, sani-
tary drinking cups to be provide
free of charge for the public, and to
forbid the placing of ice in the receipt
acle.
Irregularity and failure of suburban
trains to arrive and depart on time is
the cause of wide complaint, says the
committee. Another source of COM
plant is the lack of adequate service
on Sundays. The Committee believes
that at least one train should operate
in each direction as a minimum Sun
day service.
The Committee recommends the
elimination of the practice of paying
freight bills carrying manifest over
charges. Delays in handling and
settling claims are also condemned,
and the committee concludes that the
best means of minimizing such delays
is to require the railroads to pay in
terest on the true claim amount from
the date the amount of the claim went
into their hands.
On the question of substitution of
steel for wooden cars, the Committee
recommends that the Interstate Com
merce Commission be given full power
to prescribe the character of equipment
to be used in interstate commerce,

scarcely inferior to that Of the Euro
