WASHINGTON, March 2l-Com,n!s-
sioner Charles {. McChord, who has
been selected by the Interstate Com
merce Commission az its chairman for
the ensuing year. has had wide eN-
pcrience a regulator OF RAILWAYS
having come to the Federal commission
in 1911 from the Kentucky Railroad
Commission. Since he has been a mem
Der Of tho Interstate Commerce Com
mission Commissioner McChord has
been an important factor in bringing
the railroad officials to understand that
they must keep the travel safe.
MI McChord has direct charge OF the
division OF safety OF the commission.
and has reo-Eanized and Systematized
IL. His personal attention and direc-
ton have been given to this work,
which covers wide field OF usefulness
in the protection OF the lives OF rail

Railroad accidents now arc made the
subject OF thorough. systematic and
skilled Investigation 10 determine their
causes. Commissioner McChord per-
sonally holds hearings in the most i'm

have spurred the railroad managers to
activity in the world OF accident pre-

Investigation of the causes of broken
rails. wheels. bridges, etc, made un-
der his direction. has been so thorough
and complete as to receive the com =
mendation OF some OF the greatest rail-
road experts, and has already led TO
conferences between the steel manu-
facturers and the representatives OF
some Of the great railroad systems on
the subject of the necessity OF changes
in material or methods In the manu-
facture OF steel rails. Block signals
and automatic train control devices also
come under Commissioner McChord.
In Commissioner McChord the rail-
road employees also have IA friend. for
he personally examines each instance OF
violation of the hours of service act and
the safety appliance acts which are re-
ported by the inspectors of the com :
mission. Realizing that most cases of
excess service OF employees have been
due TO ineficiency In the maintenance OF
