CHICAGO, August 12 —Asserting that “creeping paralysis will make it impossible at the end of sixty days for the most willing train service employes to keep traffic moving,” J. F. McGrath, vice president of the raflway employes’ department of the American Federation of Labor, issued a statement tonight criticizing assertions of railway executives that rolling stock is in safe condition. He charged that the Interstate of the country would be threatened with collapse because of impaired equipment and lack of fuel.” Seek to Prejudice Public. “That two weeks is about up,” Mr. McGrath's statement ‘added. (> as- serted that “facts in the possession of the Interstate Commerce Commis- slon would startle the country,” and declared that rallway executives were circulating reports that rolling stock was safe to prejudice the public against train service men who are refusing to operate equipment on the grounds that it is dangerous to do so. He asserted that there are “vastly more than 16 000 engines out of com- mission” today, and that each week 23ding_ to ‘the. to Talso placed on the bad order list. “Definite information is in my hands from a number of important railroads,” the statement said, such as the Texas and Pacific, the Mis- souri Pacific, the Great Northern and the Southern Pacific, to the effect that inspections have not taken place since June 30. Hundreds of locomotives have not been inspected since early in June. Monthly locomotive inspection cards are being marked “No inspection on accouny of strike.” Use Several Fugines.- As a result of this, he said, locomo- tives do not appear in bad order lists until they fall, and he asserted such failures might involve serious acel- dents. Important trains, he sdid, sometimes require three to five en- gines to cover a division. / ‘Engines,” he asserted, “are befn operated with leaky flues, broken stay bolts, cracked frames, broken brake rigging and loose tires, while cars are being run entirely without brakes and with safety appliances in such bad condition as to endanger the lives of the train crews,” Refusal Protects Publie.
