AVERS AIL SAFETY LAWSARE .EVADED Chiof of Interstate) Commission Bureau Accuses Roads of Sharp Practices BORLAND SUBMITS REPORT Ily the Associated Pross Washington. Dec. 10. Kvii'tnn of laws to promote the safety of passen gers nnd omnlnvos was charged to the rnllroails of the United States today li' W. P. Norland, chief of the bureau of, safety of the Interstate Commerce Commission, in his annual report". In the case of the hours of service 'aw. which prohibits train operatives i (run remaining on duty more than six- ' teen hours except in extrnorditmry cir cumstances. Mr. norland's report de clared managing officers apparently had Christmas Greens T given their sanction (o evasions "to sllcli an extent as to defeat the purpose of, the law." He charged that wucty nan been sacrificed to expediency, Itailroad companies were said to have ald comparatively "little attention" to the maximum requirement of the Inw re tarding safety appliances. They were said t have contented themselves with meeting the minimum, which orders that 8." per ceut of the cars In any train shall be equipped with power brakes, disregarding the maximum requirement that all cars so equipped must be con nected and the brakes iu operation. Hand brakes also were nlleged still to bo in use on some railroads for con trolling trains on mountain grndes, al though the law specifies that trains must be controlled by power brakes. On some roads employing the manual block signal system it was said danger ous practices are followed and rules violated to Rtich nn extent ns to ren der the block signal system entirely useless. Log trains, which are exempted from shfetv appliance regulations, are beine opera'led over main lines in (leorgia and Florida without uny brakes ex cept on engines and cabooses, which. Mr. Itorlund paid, was fully as danger ous, because of the necessity ot passing other trains without such safeguards "Not only Is the maximum prescribed bV the hours ilf seMort net frenucntlj considered the regular day's Work, but wncii it is seen lliul some ordinary in cident may delay u train crew it has necome common practice, wnen occu sion offers, to release thnt crow for a period of one or more hours nnd then lo continue thu crew in service ho as to obtnin the maximum ot sixteen hours of nctivo duty," isntd Mr IJorlnnd. "The Inference la unmistakable, that these releases are given for the pur pose of breaking tlio continuity ot serv ice," thercbyj placing the employes in volved on the basis of aggregate In stead of continuous nervicc and per mitting them to be retained on duty for n longer period than would other wise be permissible under the law.
