Increase Precaution Is
Necessary on Railroad
"In moat parts of the country the
track is going into the winter satu
rated with water from the recent
general rains," says the "Railway
Age," editorially. "This will lead to
more than the usual amount of heav
ing and rough track, particularly
since less than the normal amount of
ditching and other drainage work
has been done during the last three
or four years. This condition is aris
ing at a time when the track struc
ture itself has been weakened by
inadequate renewals of rails, ties and
ballast. It is now too late to make
amends for the deficiencies of the
pust. The problem is to see that
sufficient supervision and inspection
are provided to detect and correct
I any weaknesses promptly and before,
they become serious. This will call
for added care by all responsible for
the safety of the track."

Gigantic Railroad Trust
Is Feared by Senator
if the Bill Is Passed
Washington, Dec. 13.—There was
no indication to-day how soon the
Senate debate on the railroad bill
might end, but leaders agreed that
enactment of legislation by the first
of the year was out of the question.
Senator LaFollette. vlfo has talked
almost continuously since Tuesday,
still held the floor when the Senate
recessed until to-day, and he will
continue then to attack the bill de
signed to pave the way for return
of the roads to private control.
Senator McKellar, dividing speak
ing time with the Wisconsin Senator
declared the Cummins measure would
open the way for the creation of the
most gigantic trust in the history of
the world, through possible consoli
dation 7 years hence, of the railway
systems. He asserted the bill would
permit such a merger.
