Will Protest Defective Cars.
The line of action which the
brotherhoods will adopt is expected
to include a separate reply from the
shopmen formally rejecting Mr.
Harding's peace plan and general
declaration of the train service or
Sanizations of their intention Of re-
fusing to operate equipment. which
they have reason to believe endan-
gers their lives and the lives of the
public.
Anticipating rejection by the
shopmen, the President. il is under
stood, is going ahead with his plan
OF calling upon Congress next week
to arm him with additional powers
to deal with the situation. 1t is
generally believed that. notwith-
standing the reluctance of the ad-
ministration to take such drastic
steps. the taking over of the rail-
roads pending a settlement of the
shopmen's dispute will be the only
means of averting a general rail-
road paralysis.
Urges Rigid inspection.
Jewell issued a statement yester-
day calling upon the Federal gov
ernment to enforce rigidly the Fed
eral inspection laws with reference
to defective rolling stock and mo-
tor power and suggesting the ad-
visibility of putting more inspec-
tors to work. He charged that the
inspection and safety appliance
laws were being violated by the
roads. He said:
1T should be understood that the
Federal locomotives inspection and
safety appliance laws are not be-
ing complied with during this
strike; that there are practically
no proper inspections being made
and certainly no reports being re-
leased giving the true situation.
The Federal inspection law requires
that certain inspections be made
before and after each trip, and that
these inspections be recorded. The
penalty for violation of the law is
S100 for each offense. However,
there are only fifty government in
spectors. who are required to cover
approximately 265, 900 miles of rail-
road and inspect about 10000 loco
motives in the 5000 terminals.
Therefore. It is clear that the
railroads are violating the Federal
inspection laws and are operating
defective equipment. Why is IL
that with this condition existing,
additional government officials are
not assigned to require compliance
with the law and protect the travel
ing public and railroad employees?
Why it is that taxpayers are called
upon to pay for the thousands of
additional guards, police and sher-
IFS. to say nothing about State
militiamen and Federal soldiers
whose duties. it is alleged. are to
protect railroad property. but whose
work today Is in the main seems to
be that of killing people. who ad-
mittedly had no Intention of de-
stroying railroad property? Why is
1t that not a single additional man
is assigned to protect the life
and limb of 100000 people of
