Show Hi I m The Argonaut cites the fact that the railways of HI Ij ,the United States, in three years past, have killed HI i fj 21,847 people; equal to the loss of life by wounds !HIh. 1 and disease of the British in the South African ' war, and thinks it time that there be instituted an ; ; investigation and that a remedy be provided. The 1 very best remedies would be a reduction in speed HX 1 on indifferent roads and a reduction in the hours II of train men. The engineer of a passenger train M should not serve more than four hours in the 1 twenty-four and to speed a train to fifty miles an M hour over roads with heavy grades and sharp I curves, is simply tempting Providence. |
