liberalization OF railroads is a
menace to the safety of the employees
and of the public as well. The U. s.
Interstate Commerce Commission,
December 10, 1913, issued report
which showed the tremendous number
of accidents which occurred last year,
where electrjfcation is In operation.
The report shows that electric rules
are easily misunderstood.
"All of the mistakes noted above are
violations of simple rules, which
should have been easily understood
by men of sufficient intelligence to be
intrusted with the operation of trains.
The evidence Is that In the main the

are charged with responsibility for
