Show tiim far f.nmigh. Lot the railroad men goon demanding better protection for brak-Tiien, and let all other civilized people, join with them in tho demand. If animals had to endure what brakeiuen ha I to endure the enmity enmi-ty socictii would have the railroad bus-!nes bus-!nes in court. Iiut because thu animal happens to be a man the killing and maiming go on and seem to lie taken for grunti-d. At the last session of the legislature leg-islature an appeal for the pitablinhment of a hospital was barked by the fact that tho railroad busin'-MS had much la-created, la-created, and "therefore" a hospital was necwutry. What that sifts down to is that you must expect the brakeman to be butcher' 1, and the way to aid thorn lit to build hospitals for what Is left of them after the "accident." This has gone on long enough. With all the progress prog-ress that has l-eeti made in the art of railroading there is no reason why the I brakeman should le left where ho was I -nty years ai,'o or rather where his i predecessor wan. Twenty years is rather l ing to ex'ieet one to tmrvive in that in-! in-! dustry. H irtford Omratit. |
