Careful investiga- | of the accident and that many are women and chil- dren. From 1901 to 1910 there were approtimate- | ly 13,000 children under fourtsan years of age kill- ed «and injured while trespassing on railroads in {'the United States, enough to make a mile-post for every mile half-way around the world. There were who were vietims of this evil. During ten years ending in 1910, there were 108,452 trespassers kill- ed and injured in the United States, while for the - same period in Great Britain and Ireland there - were but 5,574 trespassers killed «and injured Of course the mileage of American mailroads is much - greater, but it is nevertheless true that the British railways traverse a more densely populated and conjested territory than most of our American rail- ways. In European countries laws do not permit trespassing on railroads. To the uninformed, it will probably be surpris- ing information to know that more than 50 per cent of persons killed on American: railroads are tres- | passers and that ordinarily there are on our rail-- roads three times as many trespassers Ikilled each year as there are railroad employes killed. This annual needless killing of more than 5,000 Ameri- can citizens and the injuring seriously of an equal number, mostly wage earners, can only be prevent- ed by the ap-operation of the public and public offi- cials. Laws have been made intended to deal with almost every real or imaginary cause of accident and yet it has been almost impossible to get passed or enforced laws which will effectively prohibit railroad trespassing and the great economic loss to the nation involved in the killing and maiming of these persons, as well as the suffering to humanity caused thereby. A law, prohibiting trespassing, would not in itself alone prevent trespassing or trespass accidents, but a Federal law, or at least uniform laws in all states, prohibiting trespassing, augmented by a persistent campaign of public edu- cation for the purpose of teaching all persons that such law was framed for their own protection and to save human lives, would greatly lessen this la- mentable waste of haman material, In the inter- ests of economy and for the sake of humanity this ought to be Gone. & TRUCK IS NOT PEACE, That the Adamson act is not a settlement of the issues involved is conceded on all sides. It has left too many sore spots, and some of them arse of the sort likely to spread and become more inflamed. There is a popular undercurrent of distinct resent- ment as the spectacle of a body supposed to repre- resent the whole nation held up at the muzzle of a gun, as it were, and compelled to legislate accord- inging to the dictation of a minute minority, It's about the farthest from \majority rule'\ ever seen in our history. Hence there is every reason to expsct that the coming session of congress will see efforts to amend 'the Adamson act and to supplement it with a com- prehensive program of labor reform legislation framed with a view to preventing the development of such situations in future. Some of these efforts will be more or less revengeful. While any such course must be deplored, it must be remembered that members of congress are hu- man and that many of them feel that they have been deeply humiliated, and are likely to feel it more when they get home and hear personally the opinions of that overwhelming majority of their fellow citizens who are neither railway owners nor railway employes but realize that out of their poc- kets must ultimately come the whole cost of these proceedings. For we are awakening from the delusion that the disputes of \capital\ and \'labor'' are some- thing like a dispute between two of our neighbors concern of society, and the state is just to \keep the ring and see fair play'\ while the adversaries fight it out. We have tended so to regard these disputes because strikes began as a protest against living stangdards visibly below our average, This was another case. The wages the train service men had gave them a living standard quite visibly above the average. - 'What is needed, of course, is a fair adjustment that will consider not only the interest of wage re- ceivers and wage payers in thg railway business but also the enormously greater interest of those who may be termed wage providers-the whole public, to which railway service, efficient and uninterrupt- ed, is a necessity of daily life. Out of that neces- sity comes all railway revenue. ing for'\ railway corporations they are really serv- ing ahd are paid by the whole public. w.
