BARDO REPLIES TO RECENT ‘EDITORIAL Editor, New Britain Daily Herald, New Britain, Conn. Dear Siri— 5 An ediforial in your issue of Mon- day, April 6th, entitled “Two Re- cent Wrecks on New Haven Line,” comes to my attention with its sug- gestion that it may be time to again “tighten up the system, inculcate a further extension of Safety First principles, and prevent the develop- ment of the attitude that wrecks have to occur once in a while and that they cannot be avoided.” No doubt you will be pleased to learn that the effort we have been making since 1914 has been directed exactly along the lines that you sug- gest, and we have reason to believe that substantial progress has been made ip inculeating the principles referred to. We can say this with confidence and in the face of the regrettable accidents which we all deplore. Our safety organization acting un- der the department of personnel, in- cludes among many other factors, 38 committees composed of officers and emplgyes, meeting monthly {o discuss the various phases of acci- dent prevention and to promote the extension of fhe underlying prin- ciples of safety throughout our en- tire system. Fatal accidents tp our employes numbered 92 in’ 1918, With the de- velopment of our safety work there has been a corresponding improve- ment in reduction of fatal accidents to employes; the low mark being 30 in 1922, with 31 in 1924, While we think these figures are substantial evidence of a remarkable progress, we are by no means dis- posed to rest at this point or to consider the achievement in any other light than that of an experi- ence that reveals the value of this kind of work, and the methods by which we should pursue it in order to further extend its influence over every feature of operation.

STEWART NEA Servico Writer. o ‘Washington, April “23.—8o selfish are the rallroads that they want agricultural prosperity more than anybody else, except the farmers, and at Jeast as much as the farmers do. So B. I, Yoakum says. As one of the ocountry's éldest railrond presidents, he ought (o know. Porsonally, ho's so sclfish that he ‘organized. the Farmers:to-Cone sumer league, of which he's head. “The farmers," he explains, “have got to prosper or we railroad nuin can't live" Ve B. F. Yoakum 18 a very” hard- boiled old railroad man first, a farmer second. He knows it. He didn't want to discuss the farm problem from the railroad angle. “It 1 do,” he objected, ‘*‘overy- body'll say, ‘Yeah, that's all he cares about the farmers;—one WOl for them and two for the roads. I made a remark about the era .| ot rallroad building and :the break- |ing plow in the west. His eye lit. “Yes,” he exclalmed in a new tone, as to a fellow member of his own fraternity of the past “in qur day that's the way it was” And he warmed right up. There are ad- yantages in being as old as any- body else. B. F. Yoakum's plan, packed small, is: Direct delivery from farm- er to consumer and direct payment by consumer to farmer, eliminating numerous middlemen who now pocket all such transactions’ profits and more, too. How effect this di- rect exchange? By cooperative dis- tribution and marketing on a na- tional scale, but without govern- ment control, supervision or inter- ference, which would be worse than needless hut for which nearly all proposed laws provide. Thus, says B. F. Yoakum, agri- culture will get what's coming to it and there won't be all this kicking about freight rates, which naturally seem high to the farmers now, though they're low to the railroads, considering what it costs them to run, Right. atter the last election “if was widely prodicted a tremendous® boom was ahead, A 1 dropped in to ask Secretary of Commerce Hoover what he thought about it, expecting him to say, “You bet there'll be a boom,” as most public and business men used to do when asked, “What do times look Mke?" Instead he began ploking flaws in the situation, pointing out that prospects were less favorable than some folk thought. “Tho stock market's bullish,® he admitted sadly, “but,” brightening “underlylng condition . aren't so good." [ Then he explained, “Booms would be all right if it weren't for slumps. But whenever there's a boom therel a slump. We don't want booms be- cause we don’t want slumps.” Well, the boom hasn't material jzed. Business has been pretty fair but not on a boom basls, The coti- merce department is all smiles, “De- flation of over-optimism” is how President W. 1.
