Sees Change for Better.
Editor Times:
In no line. apparenMv. s there great
er evidence o' inrffiiiemy than in the
railroad yards
No, however, that the goernnient
has assumed conti oi of the roads, a
change for the better i :n sight.
The work of switching cars and mak
ing up trains, a woik that, should re
quire the greatest care, funs to be
carried out in tii0 mo-.t careless man
ner. Observing condition in the yards,
one iiiav he impressed with the seem
ing disregard of ia;!road property by
those jn charge.
Then. Just where should the blame
for carelessness be placed" Perhaps,
with the yard master, th engineer or
the conductor.
Rut "speed'" is th word given to
these men and they must produce. And
when wrecks occur, the men higher up
seem to ignore this serious loss of
rr.llng stock.
In a very fen minutes an engineer,
in switching cars from one track to
another, ran caufe thotmends of dollars
damage ),-.- putting on too much stem
and -ni-u rg a rut of ears. This may
not. however, fiiwas be the engineer's
fault. bf-,n.::se he follows Firnals ijiven
to htm hy th conductor. If a. con
ductor elves the wrong s.gnal the
blame must ret or should rest on his
shoulders, and a wronk signal mav
put a half d -zen cars out of commis'son
indefinitely, sometimes beyond repair,
causing in an instant, eoljosnl damage
and delay transportation of products
for days.
S.ich destruction f a daily occur
rence in moat of the jards of this
region, and there is no reason to be
lieve the same condition doe not ex
ist throughout the entire country. Thus
In a day. hundreds of cars are totally
destroyed, thousands are sent to the
"hospital." others are damaged, caus
ing leaky roofs and other leaks that
are not discovered at the time, causing
the loss of grain and other products
in the course of transportation.
Just what the government will do
to remedy this condition remains to be
seen One thing seems to be neces
sary and that is less -speed" In the
yards. Another thing might be the
construction cf steel cars, such as many
of the roads are buMdingthey pav in
the long run. because there Is less
chance r-f telescoping with other cars,
or of belr.g shattered when receiving
hard bumps.
Another suggestion might be to place
the blame w hero It really belong and
bring the one at fault to account.
Already the government has started
an infustlon of new methods, which
the local yards are beginnig to fee!,
and without the po.sjbllity of any man
losing his position. h w:?l f-e' a re
sponsibility he has not heretofore ex-
