If our enemies want to sacrifice new human life before our lines our armies will not only not yield but inflict upon them far greater losses than heretofore.

Urges Additional Care
During Heavy Freight
Tie-up in Wreck Report

Additional precaution during the
present unusual freight congestion is
urged by John P. Dohoney, investi-
gator of accidents. in his report to-day
to the Public Service Commissioners
on the recent wreck at Mexico, on the
Middle division of the Pennsylvania
Railroad. He says:
"If the rules of safety are to be
adhered 10, the pressure of one heavy
train against another ought to he fol-
lowed by a prompt and thorough in
spection 10 determine whether serious
results have accompanied the move
ment.
The primary cause of this accident
was the buckling of freight cars which
had been stored on an adjacent track
and which had been struck by an east
bound freight train and thrown on the
westbound passenger track about one
half minute prior to the arrival. of the
passenger train"

Will Be Suggested

An organized effort to reduce the
number of industrial accidents which
have been reported to the State Work
mems Compensation Bureau will be
made by the State administration,
which will call for a conference of rep
resentative employers here on March

The plans have been under way for
some time and letters have been is
sued by the Governor inviting some
of the employers to the conference.
The statistics gathered will be laid
before the meeting and the co-opera-
ton of everyone asked to reduce the
accidents. The Governor will likely
speak.
The idea originated with the De-
partment of Labor and Industry whose
experts were struck with the jump in
accidents due to industrial speeding

iect will be made public tonight.
