In spite of sign boards, bulletins posted in stations and other means which it has taken to indue the public to protect itself, from figures which have just been compiled by that company, it is found that during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1916, eightyfive persons, Including men, women and children were killed while using the company's property as a highway or stealing rides on trains or engines. Of this number 22 were killed in the State of Virginia, 29 in West Virginia, 32 in Kentucky and 2 in Indiana. Despite the railway company's best efforts to prevent, there was killed nearly onethird as many persons as the total killed of United States soldiers and sailors in the war with Spain.

FEAR NO VIOLENCE

Violence is not expected on the Richmond divisions of the Pennsylvania railroad if a strike of the four brotherhoods of railroad employes is called on August 5, according to detectives in employ of the company. Indications among the men, one of the secret service men said, were that in event of a strike the employes would merely make a peaceful walkout. The road's greatest problem now is to get enough men to carry on its extensive improvement work. Labor is scarce and work plentiful.
