demanding urgent legislation to solve
in some way the problem of unem-

industrial uDheaval. OF kind Of

British government acts promptly.

leaders, "a situation may develop that

There is said to be an ugly temper
among man, OF the 100000 or more
unemployed yer what they regard as
~dilatoriness on the part of local and
governmental authorities in taking
steps to meet the situation adequately.
About 100000 of these idle men are

Delegates from employed commit

MANY LIVES
SAVED THROUGH
ORGANIZATION
Systematic Methods Used
Or Railroads Cuts Down
Death Rate.

Chicago. Jan. .24.-Morc than $4,000
lives have been saved on the railroads
Of the United States as q result Of the
organized safety work carried on dur
ing thirteen years. according to an
anlysis made at the headquarters of
the National Safety council here of
railway statistics from 1906 to 1919
complied by slason Thompson Of the
Bureau of Railway News and Statis-
tics, tho council announced today.
The National Safety council esti-
mated the number of lives saved on
the basis of the ratio of the number
OF persons killed each year to the
freight tonnage carried during each
Eear. For example, in 19O8s1O,6l8 per-
sons were killed or the railroads. and
1.G31,0O0,OOO tons were carried. In
1919 6.975 persons were killed, while
2.121.000,O0O o were carried. On
actual saving of 6,928 lives during
1919, as compared with 1906. This
process was applied to the figures for
each of the intervening years, and the
total sum of lives saved as determined
by the National Safety council was
1851. In other words. IL the number
Of persons killed in railway accidents
during each Of the last thirteen years
had been i'll the same ratio to the ton
i"6S 20 "CIC 11ldIIllS6 al 4SUV,
SS.62l more persons would have beer
killed in railway accidents than were
actually killed.
Some other striking revelations Of
the railroad accident statistics are
brought out in the councils study,
namely:
That the number of persons killed
In railway accidents during 1919, g.
975, is the lowest on record in the
4 was - .~ x,,. It,, Non
That 125,021 miles of railroad lines,
nearly half the mileage Of the coun-
try, were operated without a single
passenger being killed in a train acct
dent on these lines during 1919.
That q mileage greater than the
combined railroad mileage Of Great
Britain, Germany, France and Austria
Hungary was operated during 1919
without a single fatality to a passenger
in the 447,126,73S journeys recorded,
the average journey being "A miles.
That the number of injured in rail-
way accidents in 1919-147, 018-was
the lowest on record since 1910.
That fewer passengers were killed
in 1913 than in 1888. although be-
tween those years passenger mileage
increased more than $50 per cent, and
freight tonnage increased more than
500 per cent. In 1906 one passenger
q killed for every 1~S3,3O7,488 pass
cngers carried one mile: in 1919 one
was killed for ever 4~75,693.3O4 pass
engers carried in one mile.
a noteworthy decrease in the num-
Der of railroad employees killed was
made in 1913 as compared with the
preceding year. In 1918, with 1884,
TAI men employed, 2,759 were killed,
an average Of las per 1000 employed.
In 1919 with 1~,960,569 men employed,
1888 were killed, an average Of 0.S6
per, ], 900 employed.
