Speed skaters use their, arms almos;

The arms should be used to, make the
body sway because the swaying OF the
body. makes each stroke easier.
Each time you make a stroke, let
the arms and body go with the skat-
ing leg. The leg should be slightly
bent at the knee, then Strengthened
at the finish of the stroke. Do dip
on each stroke. Continual. dipping
and swinging Of the. body makes It
possible TO glide smoothly and grace

A DANGEROUS RAILROAD BILL

There Is pending before the legis.
lature of Illinois q bill designed to
limit the length OF freight trains. The
limit specified IL fifty cars. The
movement is supported entirely by
the labor element and its object SO
far as can be ascertained, Ia simply
to provide jobs for more men, al.
though the interests OF the railroads,
the shippers and the public do not re-
quire such addition. The bill, II 1t
passes into law, will act injuriously
not only to the railways. but to the
public, particularly the shipping pub.
lie, and to railway employees them.
selves. It would seem as II from the
support which II has received from
railway employees that its benefits to
them must have been carefully stud
led In advance; but this is not SO.
The bill should be opposed upon
three grounds: First, from the point
Of view of the very great expense
which the railroads would be obliged
TO incur in fulfilling its provisions;
second, from the point of view OF the
shipping public, whose business ar.
rangements would be greatly ham.
pered, particularly in times Of con.
gestion, by delays to traffic which
would be unavoidable under the law;
and, third, from the point OF view OF
the trainmen, since II can be con-
clusively shown that instead OF de-
creasing railway accidents 1t would
increase them.
The public is interested in the ad-
ditional expense to railroads for the
reason that the public eventually
must foot the bill. The passage of
such a law would injuriously affect
the railroads by rendering practically
valueless millions of dollars worth of
improvements which have been made
In recent years for the purpose OF en-
abling them TO run longer trains.
These improvements have been In the
line of grade reductions, side.track
and terminal.track extensions, and
new and larger motive power. The
operating expenses OF railroads would
be increased by the necessity OF en-
ploying a larger number OF engine
men and trainmen and other en-
ployes. 1t would be necessary to pur-
chase more locomotives because OF
the necessity OF running more trains.
In many cases, 1t would be necessary
to build more passing tracks and pro-
vide additional facilities at terminals.
In the matter OF safety. the mum.
Der OF railway accidents depends very
largely upon the number Of trains
run. II the length OF trains Is de-
creased II is plain that there must be
Chicago eagle. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1889-19??, 1915-06-05

more trains in order to handle the
traffic. Statistics of the Interstate
Commerce Commission for the last
twelve years show that whenever
there has been an increase in the
number Of trains operated there has
been an increase In accidents to EN-.
ployes and to the public. Attic ugh
there has been constant increase
in the length Of trains, yet whenever
there Is decrease In the number Of
trains operated there has been q de.
crease In the number Of accidents. In
fact, there Is scarcely an exception to
the rule that every increase In mum.
Der Of trains means more accidents
and every decrease In number of
trains means less accidents. This is
entirely independent OF the length If
the train. In 1906, 1907, 1910 and
1913 there were increases In the mum.
Der Of freight trains run and In each
one Of these years there we're in.
creases in the total number OF col
lisions and other accidents. In 1905
1909, 1911, 1912 and 1914 there were
decreases in the number Of freight
trains run and the number of col
lisions and other accidents showed II
almost every instance decrease.
From the point Of view Of the ship
per. the effect Of more trains woult
be to cause badly congested condi
tons. particularly In times Of heav!
traffic. What has caused congestion
at different times in the past has no
been the length OF trains nor tn
heavy load which they carried.
has been the difficulty Of handlin
trains at terminals. The more train
there are the more difficulty there l
In handling them. Any action tina
increases the number OF trains ru
has a tendency to slow up the move
ment Of traffic on the road. This
on account Of the delay which
passed on to following trains and I
the blocking Of traffic on account Q
