This bill affects DIRECTLY every business and business man every farmer every manufac turer EVERY CITIZEN in the entire State. . It is a sound, sensible, workable measure to give the Board of Public Utility Commissioners authority to determine how -teams should be manned. It empowers this Board to COMPEL railroads to crew every train"as the Board shall order.

Railroads exist to provide adequate and safe transportation service both for pas sengers and freight. Public interest lies in getting such service. The railroads jnust have facilities to move traffic with regularity, dispatoh and do it with safety and economy. The Trustees of the State Chamber through the ( Bureau of State Research made an exhaustive study of the workings of the "full crew' law. The proposed bill carries out the recommenda tions of their report. It is an adequate, effective and workable measure.
