Railroad Train Service in 1915 Safer ThaE
Ever Before

There were less fatalities TO rail-
road trainmon and enginemen in 1915
than in any other year since the In
terstate Commerce Commission began
to compile its accident statistics. in
1890. although the numbeg OF such en-
ployes has more than doubled in that
time. says the Railway Age Gazette in
an editorial in its current issue. The
Railway Age Gazette compares the
accident bulletin recently issued by
the Commission with the record for
the past twenty-five years. showing
the steady decrease in the hazard OF
the work OF the train employees now
demanding a wage increase of $780,
0000 a year.
"The argument that railway train
service employees are engaged in an
especially hazardous occupation" IL
says. "has been effectively used i'm Sc
curing advances in their wages i'm the
past and is included in many OF the
statements published in their behalf
in connection with their present cam
paign for higher pay Il is undoubt-
edly fact that the trainmen are paid
wages so much higher than those of
other railway employees. or than those
of men engaged i'm other kinds of work,
because Of the risks attendant upon
their employment. However, now that
the wages of train employees have teen
increased nearly 40 per cent. in ten
years while the hazard has been
steadily decreasing for several years,
the subject loses its force in an argu-
ment for still higher WAGES.
"The accompanying table. compiled
from the accident statistics Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
shows the number of fatalities to train
service employees on the railways of
tie United States for the past % years
and also the proportion of fatalities
to the total number employed in each
year.

: Why prolong this recital Of the
reasons for and the causes of popular
dissatisfaction?
} Every Democratic member of Con-
} gress, from either North or South.
can add others that he knows full
well to this list, and not the least
grievous, not the least hurtful in dis
/ tricts and States and nation is the
dissatisfaction with the administration
and the members OF Senate and House
i. over that always troublesome ques-
tion in political affairs, the distribu-
! tion Of patronage.
Is there not sufficient trouble ahead
for Democratic candidates in the fall
elections?
Why, then, press for action now
the question OF Philippine indepen-
dence, when few, very few. of our
people believe the natives are vet
fitted for il and that no sane man
would accord them until they are
! fully qualified TO exercise the rights
of self-gOvernment?
Has not the administration enough

deal with just now without calling
for the Aguinaldos and other
agitators OF the Philippines to be
champions of political, social and
religious reforms in those nov
peacefully and truly prosperous is
lands until this proposition Of inde-
pendence for races unfit for it was
pressed?
Have not false theories and vision
/ airy and illogical practices of this
administration brought destruction
to American and European invest
ments in Mexico, prompted anarchy,
chaos and crime through that un-
/ happy country to an extent that has
made the page one OF the most dis
/ tressing records in the book of time?
What American. be he Democrat,
Republican, Progressive or Social
/ list, desires to duplicate Mexico in
] the Philippines?
Yet that is just what a vote for
Philippine independence at this time
or in four years or in ten years will
do.
The Democratic party responsible
as it is should kill this measure at
this time.
The party has enough to defend
now.
The Congress should unite to kill
this bill.
The country has trouble enough
on its hands East, West and South
OF our national boundaries, and Phil
ippine independence can well be de-
ferred until the natives are fitted for
the duties such grant would impose
upon them.

The Philippine Bill Should Be Defeated

A number OF Democratic Senators
and many OF the Democratic members

next November. and naturally these

from their political antagonists and
that the ranks Of their own party
