Sees Change for Better. Editor Times: In no line. apparenMv. s there greater 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 making up trains, a woik that, should require the greatest care, funs to be carried out in tii0 mo-.t careless manner. Observing condition in the yards, one iiiav he impressed with the seeming 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. conductor 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 occurrence in moat of the jards of this region, and there is no reason to believe the same condition doe not exist throughout the entire country. Thus In a day. hundreds of cars are totally destroyed, thousands are sent to the "hospital." others are damaged, causing 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 necessary 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 responsibility he has not heretofore ex-
