STOP, LOOK, LISTEN!

When a railway train strikes an
automobile which has been careless
~ driven upon the tracks at grade
crossing, turning the car into mass
of crumpled steel and killing or MAIN
ing the occupants, the person most
entitled to sympathetic consideration
seldom gets it. He is the locomotive
engineer. He does everything within
his power to prevent injuries and
loss of life, and yet, in spite of all
he can do, reckless drivers often
turn his run into a nightmare.
The June issue of the Illinois
Central Magazine, in announcing the
campaign which will be carried on by
all the railroads of the country from
June 1 to September 80 to get the
drivers of motor vehicles to use
greater caution at railway grade
crossings, publishes statements from
twenty-one of the seasoned engineers
of the Illinois Central System, CIV
ing their views of the grade-cross-
ing peril.
~ have seen men with nerves of
iron, men who are gray from years
of service as engineers, sit down and
weep after striking an automobile
and killing the occupants, says
Charles ]. Barnett, whose locomo-
tive pulls the Panama Limited, the
Illinois Central's crack train, be-
tween Memphis, Tenn, and Canton,
Miss. Automobiles cause us more
uneasiness than any other part of
our work. We have automatic block
signals to protect us from defec-
tive switch or broken rail, but we
have no protection from an insane
person who will deliberately drive
into the jaws Of death"
A number Of the engineers quot
ed in the Illinois Central Magazine
advocate the passage of laws which
will require the drivers of vehicles
under penalty, to "stop, look and
iistenD before proceeding over 9
grade crossing. Given the laws, they
urge their strenuous enforcement.
The article in the Illinois Central
Magazine states that forty-one per-
sons were killed and 168 person:
were injured in 406 automobile grade
crossing accidents last year on thai
railway system alone.
During the four months of tn
careful crossing campaign" railway
employees will do everything they car
to prevent accidents, but it is pointet
out that ultimate success lies in thu
cooperation Of the public.

panied by a party of forty-five per-
sons, recently comprised the passen-
gers on a special train operated by
the Illinois Central System over the
route of that roads famous train, the
Seminole Limited, from Birmingham,
Ala, to East st. Louis, Ill. The
dogs, all blooded greyhounds, had
participated in races at Miami, Fla,
and were en- route to race meeting
at East st. Louis. The persons in
the party were owners, trainers and
racing officials. The dogs rode in
baggage cars.
The operation of the train was an
event at a number of towns where
the train was stopped and the dogs
were taken out for exercise.
The following excerpt from an edi-
torial in the Illinois Central Maya
zine for June shows the estimated
losses to the government incident to
| federal control and the six months
guaranty period of March to Au-
gust 81, 1920:
"The Bureau of Railway Econo-
mics estimates that losses to the
government as result of the twen-
ty-six months of federal control will
aggregate, when all claims are dis
posed of, aout $1,222, $4,000. Of
this amount, $750,524,281 represents

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Further
discussion to-day by Republican men,
bers of the Senate Finance Committee

import duties was said to have de-
7veloped & decided trend toward the
latest proposed plan OF assessment on
the basis Of the wholesale selling price
Of the imported article in the Ameri-

NO final decision was reached, as the
majority members are waiting final
oevelopment of the working of this
plan by members OF the Tariff Com
MISSION and the Court of Customs Ap-
peals, who have indorsed it. Chairman
McCumber was of the opinion that
ceclslon might be reached On Monday
a1ter the whole committee had dis
posed OF the Allied debt refunding bill.
Along with the proposal to assess Hss,,
outles on the American selling price
are the other amendments offered hv
Senator Smoot, of Utah, which would
authorize the President, when condi
tions warrant, to increase or decrease
the rates within maximum of SO per
cent OF those in the bill, and to pro
claim American valuation on any given
list OF articles, should he determine
that only by this means could Ameri
can products successfully compete with
foreign goods in the American market
Coupled with these also are the
amendments authorizing the Executive
TO increase the rates because of the
depreciation of currency in foreign
country, and to take steps TO prevent
unfair practices in imports and the
discrimination against American for
elgn commerce by foreign governments
