When the railroads can pay a
steamship oompany $900,000 a year
for the mere privilege of dictating
the water rates it is a pretty fair
indication of what these railroads
are doing to their patrons.
The terrible loss of life at Harris­
burg, Pennsylvania, in which twen.
ty-two persons were killed as the
result of a collision of a fast pas­
senger train with a freight car load­
ed with dynamite served to revive
the demand for some legislation
controlling the handling of high
explosives by railroad companies.
In so far as the details of the Harris­
burg disaster were concerned there
appears to have been no oriminal
carelessness on the part of the train
hands or in the arrangements cover,
ing the handling of the two trains,
but that there was grave careless-
ness in the loading of euch an im­
mense quantity of a notoriously
high explosive on a single car, most
insecurely packed, and in placing
that car in the oenter of a long
freight train is obvious. Certainly
some reform in the handling of these
explosives is imperative and yet it
is hardly one which the railroad
companies can effect themselves.
For instance, if a railroad company
were to attenpt extraordinary pre­
cautions it would necessitate au in­
crease of the freight rate and imme­
diately more reckless competitors
would secure the carrying of all
freight of this class.
If, however,
restrictions are placed on the carry­
ing of high explosives by the gov.
eminent they will apply alike to all
roads and cannot be made of ad­
vantage to one road over another.
All attempt to secure legislation of
this character was made some years
ago but it was just before the Span­
ish War and the government oppos­
ed it as likely to prove detrimental
tbe rapid handling of munitions
of war. That opposition and the
Harrisburg disaster make another
argument for disarmament and
peace.
