AN INVITATION TO DISASTER.
- With a view to making: travel saf
er Representative Roberts of Massa
chusetts has introduced a bill in con
gress requiring all railroads in inter
state commerce to use fireproof, steel
cars and to equip their lines with
, automatic switches, signals and, such
other safety '. devices as may be ap
proved by the interstate commerce
commission. The bill would hold of
ficers, directors and operating . offi
cials, as well as the corporations; -responsible
for violations and would
provide for fines from $500 to $10,000
and prison sentences from thirty days
to one year. The introduction of the
measure was brought by. a wreck on
the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford system in which six were killed
and many injured by the telescoping
of a wooden Pullman of the old type. I
In this case, however, the engi
neer has testified and the company's
books uphold his claim that several
days before he had reported that the
brakes on his engine failed tp work. .
The accident could have been avoided,
he says, if he could have stopped his
engine. The general charge is made
in connection with this wreck that tlje
financial exploitation of the system
had brought .the road to a run-down
condition where little attention was
paid to requests for repairs or for j
new equipment. Naturally, such 4
state of affairs is an invitation to dis
