Death Of Thomas Sifton

a decision has been rendered by the
Public Utilities Commission in the
matter of the accident on the Cana
dian Pacific Railway at Brownville
Junction at $50 p. NJ, April 1 last
which resulted in the death of
Thomas Sifton. aged 10. years, en-
pioyed as ashpitman at Brownville
Junction by the Canadian Pacific
Railway, who was fatally injured
while coupling cars near the ashpit
at Brownville Junction yard. The
decision says in part:
1T wa a part of his duty to assist
The hostlers in hosting engines as
well as to take care Of the ashpit.
He had been working for the
company less than two months and
we have before us no evidence to
show what instruction. il any,. had
been given to him as to his duties in
coupling cars. If his duties as ash
pitman required him to couple cars.
he should have been carefully and
infinitely instructed in these duties
before being allowed to undertake
such a dangerous and hazardous
occupation. If his duties did not re-
quire him to couple cars, he should,
on no account, have been allowed to
DO it. While c-arelessness on the part
OF workmen cannot be entirely guard
ed against. it would appear that
proper instruction given to workmen,
whose duty it is to perform such
hazardous work as coupling cars,
ought to practically eliminate such
accidents as we are now considering.
Certainly every possible effort ought
TO be made to protect the workman.
as far as possible, even from the re-
suits of his own carelessness"
