Under such conditions it would he .= been natural to expect an increase rather than a decrease in casualties. For many years the railroad companies have been making constant efforts to prevent accidents among their workers. Elaborate safety campaigns have been worked out. Educational programs, pointed ways and means of preventing casualties, have been presented for officials and employees as’ well. New mechanical devices—many of them costly—have been perfected and installed. NAL REPR. ue Blde NTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Seattle, Wash considered rather poor accident risks. But that day long has passed. The effects of safety campaigns i being felt in reduced tolls. And those tolls will fall still farther when normal rail traffic returns, and when the skilled employees still in government service are back at their posts. The low wartime casualty record deserves the high- | est praise, for it gives new proof of the efficiency of the railroads. And without that efficiency our mili- | tary efforts must have suffered. Labor and manage- ! RISE OF JUVENILE CRIME Our great year of victory abroad, 1945, was a year of defeat on one of the most vital sectors of the ment havr-_ cooperated to eliminate many of the t. Figures ccmpiled by J. Edgar Hoover, dangers which, in other days, plagued transportation . oo g . systems. The public—as well as railroads and railroad Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, reveal that crime in 2,000 American cities increased by 12.4 per cent, an increase greater than any recorded in the past fifteen years. The most shocking feature of the report is the fact that more than one in every \ five of those arrested were minors. Indeed, the pre- dominant age” of the American criminal is now seven- teen years. . Tt is in youth that the core of the whole crime problem lies. Statistics show that 70 per cent of all adult criminals have been youthful delinquents. There- fdre every increase in youthful crime means an exten- sion of the criminal population through many years. President Truman has noted the serious aspects of the situation, pointing out that some categories of youthful crime have increased more than 350 per cent since men—have benefitted. Public Empioyees (Washington Post) To cur correspondents who object to our “reaction- ary” doctrine denying the right of the Federal employee to strike, we commend a letter that President Roosevelt, in 1937, wrote to Mr. Luther Steward, President of the National Federation of Federal Employees. Mr. Roose- velt acknowledged that organization of Federal work- ditions was justified and appropriate. But he added this significant observation: All Government employees should realize that the process of collective bargaining, as usually understood, cannot be transplanted into Pearl Harbor.
