Their Construction Has Practi-
cally Ceased Declares Re-
port of Committee.

WASHINGTON. D. O.. Nov. 90
The construction Of wooden passen-
ger cars for the railways Of the
United States practically has ceased,
according to the report Of the com
mittee on rails and equipment. of
which c. G. McChord. OF the Inter
state Commerce Commission is chair
man. made to the annual convention
Of the National Association Of Rail-
way Commissioners today.
The committee finds that sixty
six per cent of the 1921 derail-
ments in the ten years from 1904 to
1913, inclusive. were due to defec-
tive roadway and equipment. These
derailments were the cause Of g.
1877 deaths.
Not only defects in steel but heavy
wheel loads and high speed are
blamed for some Of the breaking Of
rails or failure OF rails in other re-
spects.
There can be no doubt" the COM
mittee reports, chat steel cars are
better and safer than those OF wooden
construction. A statement from the
Pullman company shows that In four
years seventy-three persons were
killed in wooden Pullman cars while
4 =.

only six were killed in all-steel cars.
There has been noticeable in
crease fnom year to year in the loads
to which rails and equipment have
been subjected and the increase is
still going on" says the. report. "In
no other situation involving danger
to life is material used with SO
slender a margin in strength, judg-
ing from the annual statistics. of ac-
ctdents. In comparison with other
engineering uses Of materials of con-
struction knowledge OF the working
stresses In railway materials is in a
very backward state. No other SER
vice is furnished SO extended list
OF annual failures which, in part, Is
attributed to this lack OF informa-
ton nor would such an exhibit OF
failure be tolerated in any other
branch OF engineering. Many Of these
failures are believed to be of pre-
ventable nature and, even in the light
of present knowledge, could be
guarded against"
The committee suggested consider
alton whether there should be some
state or federal supervision OF this
class Of material which Is exhibiting
so many failures. 1t recommends
that accurate information Of the
cause of the fractures OF rails should
be obtained.
