IN. H. Road Carries
 Millions In Safety
Completes Sixth Successive Year Without Single
 Fatality-2OO, 100000 Passengers Transported

Not single passenger was killed on the New Haven Railroad during 1897, from any cause, and the road on December 31 completed its sixth successive year without single fatality in a train accident, during which time more than 200,000,C00 passengers were carried, it was re- vealed in a report made public to- day by Howard s. Palmer, president and trustee.
 The year 1887 was the first in the history of the company that no pas senger was killed from any cause. Only two passengers of the 1,414,- 100000 carried by the New Haven since April 1916, have been killed in a train accident. There have been some fatalities in other years, however, due to passengers attempt ing to get on or off moving trains, falling from trains, and similar causes, but 1887 was entirely free from passenger fatalities of any description.
 The New Haven made a new low record also in the matter of em- ploye fatalities, which were cut down to seven. two less than the previous low record of nine in 1886 The road also made new safety record in passing through the en- tire month of December without an employe being killed, the first time this has been accomplished dur ing this hazardous winter month.
 "These achievements in safety are very gratifying" commented MT. Palmer, "and are the best evidence of the good condition of the road, its equipment, and the careful com potency of its employees"

The Church And
The Community
By REV. jobs. KNUDSEN

When we celebrate Labor day we
Go so in recognition of the importance
to society of the group that is called
proper that we should pause to give
credit where credit is due. To give
credit to one group does not mean
that we take credit away from others,
and to say that human labor is fun
damental in the production of values
is only to say the truth.
We have considerable labor unrest
today; and we find labor groups using
tactics and weapons that rightfully
should be condemned. But we must
not permit prejudices and partisan
ship to magnify these difficulties so
as to obscure the real rights of labor
The reason why the labor struggle is
so vicious is that labor has suffered
so much abuse and has been obliged
to compel the controlling forces re-
luctantly to give the laboring man
what should have been his natural
right: Means to make decent living.
The history of the treatment of
human labor down through the ages
is a sad one. We can only read it
with sadness and indignation. Sad
ness that there has been so little
brotherly love, and indignation that
a privileged few have been able to
keep the great majority in bondage.
Unfortunately the church has not al
ways been quick to speak for the
suppressed, and unfortunately the
church even today has been known
to bless the vested interests.
In the light of the teachings of
Christ our sympathy should be with
the men and women who labor and
suffer. No reaction against even
labor racketeering should permit us
to relinquish our fundamental SYM
pathy. Human rights come first of
all, and followers of Him who taught
us to love our neighbor should never
cease as long as human beings live
in want and insecurity. God help us,
if we permit class or party interests
to obscure the second great Com
mandment of Christ's, to love our
neighbor.
