FATAL TRAIN WRECK
DUE OVERSIGHT
Failure to Lock Switch Lever
Blamed for Wabash Accident.
! Automatic Device Urged.

Derailment of a passenger train on
the Wabash railway near Williamsport.
Ind, June /, resulting in the death of
six passengers, seven employees and in
jury to forty y-eight, was caused by the
switch lever of a passing switch COM
ing out of its notch and allowing the
switch points to open as the passenger
train was passing over the switch.
The switch was not locked. according
TO evidence submitted to the Interstate
Commerce Commission, which an
nounced the result of it's inquiry today
and that vibration of the engine and
first few cars of the passenger train
going over the switch at high speed
Caused the lever to fly out of its notch
permitting the switch points to open
and resulting in derailment of the
Train.
A headon collision between a pas
senger train and an express train
on the Seaboard Air Line at Apex
n. C., resulting in six deaths, would
not have occurred had an adequate
automatic train control device been
In use on the line, the commission an
nounced. The accident was caused
by failure of the crew of the passen-
ger train properly to obey the re-
QulrementS of train order estab-
lishing a meeting point with the ex-
press train, the commission declared.

Republican Analysis Of LaFOlIetteS Labor Day Speech
BY VIM. M. Butler.

!. "Exac1iy what DO we mean b.
the 'system'T asked LaFollette an,
answering his own question, he said
We mean the combination which rule,
the coal industry of this country ant
which fixes the price of coal to the
consumer"
The fact - that in the bituminous
coal industry, which comprises So per
cent OF all coal production, there is
no single corporation or group which
controls more than per cent Of the
total output Eight thousand indie
pendent operators are in active com
petition, half of them selling coal for
less than cost bituminous prices are
lower today than in 1916, though
wages are 100 per cent above pre-war
2. He said: I'VE mean the banking
combine which, through It's control of
the federal reserve board, arbitrarily
fixed interest rates and controls credit
in the interest of the big monopoly sys-
tenn. 1t initiated four years ago a pol
Icy Of defiation, causing a shrinkage
In farm prices since 1920"
This defation was inaugurated and
carried out under the Democratic adj
ministration. Interest rates were Il;
once lowered when the Republican
administration came into office. Fur.
thermore the Republican administru
ton appointed q farmer on the federal
reserve board and created the inter-
mediate credit system for the farmers
special benefit.
Mr.. LaFollette forgets that there
has been q steady increase In the !
prices to the farmer, as well as an
Increase In the purchasing power or
his crops, ever since the Republican
administration reversed the policy of
the Democratic administration, which
placed the farmer in the economic
that he was in in 1921 and
alter. This is shown by the following
index numbers of the average price
agricultural products and the in
lex numbers Of the purchasing power

3. Mr.. LaFollette said: 1.-THE con
sumption per capita OF such a stapls
FOOD as bread Is very much less thar
1t was few years ago. Ii
means that there are many people il.
the United States today who are hun
cry for bread"
Bread consumption has been de
creasing In the United States in re-
cent years, but Mr.. LaFollette dis
torts the reason. Every nation de
creases Its consumption of bread when
1t Increases Its consumption of meats,
fruits. sugar and other palatable foods
demanded by a higher standard o.
living. Senator LaFellette attempts
to conceal the increased consumption,
OF other agricultural products. UnGe.
the low standards of living in Euro;r
the consumption of breadstuns
amounts to GO per cent of the tota!
diet as against 20 per cent in the
United States.
The following table shows the in
crease in consumption OF foodstufIs
per capita in the United States in i'll
portant lines compared with wheat:

4. He said: I'VE mean the meaI
packing combination, which fixes III.
price Of the products of the farm,
etc.
There are about. 700 Independents
packers in the United
States. Three of the big fvep Il,
whom Mr.. LaFollette refers, have hal
to entirely rcfinance their business
due to enormous losses; and one is in
the hands of receiver. The fiv.
have earned less than per cent ON
goods handled during the past -four
7earS.
