Madison Accident

An important accident report hand
ed down by the Public Utilities COM
cission Thursday was that in regard
to an accident at Madison on Jan. 4,
1916 wherein two freight trains OPP
Grated by the Maine Central Railroad
Co. were in collision. The two trains
which were involved were extra
freight 305. which left Oakland ut
A. NJ. for North Arson and return,
its crew to do the switching at Madi-
son on both the going and returning
trips. and extra freight 373. which left
Oak land at 20 \. NJ. for Bald Noun
tain and return After reciting the
facts of the collision and declaring
that the damage was not large and
none of the crew severely injured the
report states that the accident result
ed from what appears to have been
carelessness on the part OF the con-
ductor OF sos and the engineer OF 37S.
The report says In our opinion
the accident resulted from a failure
on the part of the conductor OF sos to
properly protect The re3f OF his train
under circumstances which required
such protection and "A failure on the
part OF the engineer OF &73 to proper
~ observe and comply with that pro-
Vision ot Rule %. which required him

HOUSE CLEANS UP
LEGISLATIVE SLATE
Passage OF Webb Bill Clears Way
for Adjournment.

The House practically cleaned UP It's
legislative slate. so far as the present
session is concerned. when It passed late
yesterday the Webb bill permitting
American exporters to form selling
agencies to promote the foreign trade
Of the United States. The vote was 200
to a.
The bill provides that, Notwithstanding
the antitrust laws. 1t shall be legal for
American exporters to combine and
form agencies for the marketing OF
American products abroad.
Chairman Webb, Of the Judiciary Conn
mittee. said the measure was particular
ly in the interest Of the small business
man who has not the facilities to main.
tain unaided agencies for the disposal
of his goods in foreign countries.
Mr.. Webb argued that foreign coun-
tries, notably Germany. encourage inc
formation of such selling agencies ana
that American exporters will be at de-
cided disadvantage following the Euro
pean war II they cannot night for trade
with similar weapons.
Few, II any. foreign countries compel
their exporters to- observe business
standards prescribed by our ANTITRUST
law" said Mr.. Webb. Then why should
we require our exporters to observe q
higher and stricter standard OF conduct
than their foreign competitors are re-
uuired to observe? BY this bill we per-
nit our exporters to meet their foreign
rivals on foreign soil on equal terms"
