THE WRECK There is no r< aaon to suppose that w<« shall not get the complete truth about th<- I nion Traction Company! wreck of last Saturday In whiih' eighteen people were killed under the! most horrible circumstances. That' there was much wrong has already been made clear. it has been discovered that there was a confusion of. train orders, but as the matter is in ; dispute, it is as yet impossible to I say who was to blame. It is not Impossible, however, to say that there should have been no confusion. Especially xhvnld there have been none since the block system was not operating. and had been out ot commission since December 2K Whether it was the duty of the public service commission to discover that fact, through its inspectors. or whether the I company was to blame for not reporting it, is yet Io be determined. What Is certain is that the commission did I not know that the block system was not working till Its insmstors visited the scene of the Wreck. It was said at the commission's office that there la no law of commission rule requiring a transportation company t report to the commission that its automatic block system is not in operation, nor is there any law requiring th«z>-om-mission to keep itself Informed at all times of the automatic block system No law ought to be needl'd to enforre either of those duties, but if one is n~cessary by all means, let us have it. If ttyngs go ax they have go ■ ing a law of that sort would make little differ' me. There ix a law under which faihire to operate a blo< k system ia puri"hal>!e by a fine of It. we) u week, and on this th<> commix slop mm ins to have relied It does not appear that any su< h fine was ever im|MMK!d, i-o that am b law as we have was not enforced. A further question ha t Im raised as to whether the commix. lon’s !n»;x < tors failed to per form their duty.
