(By Val Fitx Patriek.)

Washington, ID. c., Nov. 6.-Too
much attention and importance can
not be given to the growing menace
attending the operation of long
trains on the railroads of today
This practice is the means adopted to
satisfy the greedy desires Of a few
men, who sit in beautiful Offices, far
from the dangers and hazards Of
railroad operation, blinded by an in
satiable ambition for more money.
What do they care for the lives of
q few hundred men who assume all
the dangers and hazards Of the bust
ness and render il possible for them
to satisfy their inhuman appeal for
larger dividends. The practice il akin
to the mighty monarch who basks In
the warmth and luxury Of his lovely
palace while the lives Of Thousands
Of his subjects are being sacrificed
on the battlefield. simply to crafty
his lust for more gold, greater power
and additional territory.
Aeeideaes.
The reports Of accidents show that
the great majority Of the serious de-
railments are due to broken rails
caused by the heavy wheel pressure.
That heavy wheel pressure is the
cause, and not the deficient quality Of
the steel. is made plain by the Inter
state Commerce Commission by its
statement that frequent rail failures
are regarded ~ sufficient warning
that railroad practice il approaching
the limit Of endurance Of rail steel"
and the "increase in wheel loads il OBJ
