The year's rail operations have de- | veloped the need of several other | changes in laws, the commission said. It unged Congress to amend the Inter- | state Commerce Act to prond. for the | punishment of any persop “offering or, giving to an employee of a carrier sub- ject to the act any money or thing of value with intent to influence his action or decision with respect to car service and also to provide for the pun- | ishment of the guilty employee.” | Appropriate legislation governing | the transportation of explos‘ves was asked as were changes in laws affect- ing the awarding of reparations for damages which the commission held should be a matter entirely for the adjudication of courts. ! The menace of wooden passenger | coaches was set forth as another sub- | ject for legislative action, the commis- | sion unging that the roads be com- peled to use steel cars in all passenger train service and prohibited from us- ing wooden cars between or in front of steel coaches. Anti-Bribery Clauses. i Referring to ‘the question of bribery | of rallroad employees, the commission '‘As a result of the inadequacy of | the car supply and ot railroad trans- portation facilities generally during a practice Bas grown up among shippers of bribidk operat- ing employees of raiflrond ggmpanies | In order to obtain transportgtion serv- | ices. The demoralizing effetts of this practice are far-reaching. Bribery ot this character in many instances can not be directly'and effectivelyreached under existing laws."” | erglnsaid: More Equipment Needed. On the subject of equipment supply, dhe commission declared that while the shortage could be minimized by car conservation and increased effic- fency, the only permanent solution was substantial additions to equip- ment. The latest general statistics of the commission showed that the rail- road sunder its jurisdiction owned ap- proximately 2,368,870 freight cars while an additional 140,000 cars were owned privately. The freight cdrs were divided #s follows: 1,062,830 box cars, 1,009,875 open top care 107,820 flat cars, 83,000 stockcars, 60,200 re- cellaneous types. Despite the shortage of equipment enumerated by the commission, showed that the volume carried during the first 7 months of it « of freight | 1920 exceeded by 17.1 per cent the freight traffic for the corresponding period in 1919. Freight traffic as a whole for the last seven months also was said by the commission to be in excess of that of the entire year of 1919. Incomes Show Decline. While the traffic has increased, the commission’s figures show, the net operating income has suffered a con- tinuous decline since 1917. The com- mission aitributed this to heavier maintenance costs in which war tax- ation figured. Incomplete statistics, however, made it impossible for the commission to offer accurate compari- son bhetween the years 1917 and 1929, and it made no attempt to estimate the figures for any portion of the year. The commission’s accident. table discloses that 6,495 persons were killed by trains or in train-service ac- cidents during the year of 1919. Of these, 1,784 or more than 27 per ceat met death in grade crossing accidents. REARDON—COTTER Mr. and Mrs. Michael Cotter of Elm street announce the engagement of their daughter Anna B. to Dave P.
