PUBLICITY SAVES LIVES ON RAILROADS Officials Find the Wrecks Are Less Frequent and Discipline Better. ~ • Chicago.—Publicity is credited with having decreased accidents on the Harriraan system of roads be tween twenty and fifty per cent, with in the past three years. This result is indicated by a report made by Julius Kruttschnitt, director of main tenance and operation, to E. H. Har riman, of a novel plan which has been tried on that system of roads. Besides decreasing accidents, pub licity has served, it is said, to im prove discipline and increase efficiency and also has protected the roads against newspaper misrepresentations and unfair hostility on the part of communities. When the plan of giv ing the fullest publicity to wrecks was first broached by Mr. Krutt schnitt, it was coldly received on all sides. Finally he succeeded in get ting it tried on the Union Pacific, and now all the Harriman lines follow it. The new method depends for its success largely upon speedily finding out the cause of the accident, placing the blame where it belongs and let ting the public know all the news papers care to tell about it. This method is so different from the one usually employed by railroads that it caused a great deal of comment, but Mr. Kruttschnitt is a firm believer in the efficacy of public sentiment when based upon a right understanding of facts. When an accident occurs on any of the Harriman roads the superin tendent, master mechanic and engi neer of the division go at once to the scene and organize a board of inquiry, composed of themselves and one or more leading citizens of the commun ity. If this beard fails to ascertain tbe cause of the accident, a second board is formed of the general super intendent, general superintendent of motive power, engineer of main tenance of way and one or more citi zens of the community. Should .this board in turn fail, a third board is termed with the general manager at * head.

The board of inquiry does its work quickly and not infrequently a news paper representative is a member. The newspapers are furnished with a correct bulletin of the facts. This practice has greatly diminished the newspaper appetite for wreck data, unless the accident is in reality a big story. The effect upon the discipline has been marked, for every man in the operating department knows that if he is derelict in his duty his home community will know of it, and he will be discredited among his friends. Men can stand being hauled onto the “carpet” in the general manager’s office, but they cannot stand the light of local publicity. 3317 VICTIMS OF HEW YORK RAILWAYS IN ONE MONTH Report Shows There Were 1:280 Accidents in City in August.

Forty-one of the victims were hurt by getting in contact 'with elec tricity. to give an accurate basis for comput ing how long our timber supply will last. The consensus of opinion is that the present annual consumption of wood is about 100,000,000,000 board feet, or something more than that. One leading authority has placed it as high as 150,000,000,000 board feet. Assuming a stumpage of 1.400,000,000,000 feet, an annual use of 100,000,000,000 feet and neg lecting growth in the calculation the exhaustion of our timber supply is indicated in fourteen years, and as suming the same use and stand, with an annual growth of 40,000,000,000 feet, a supply for twenty-three years is indicated. Letters to county clerks asking for statements of forest areas in their counties have been forward ed. Seven thousand lumbermen and timber land owners have been asked to simply similar information. In all, nearly 15 0,000 letters have been sent. These letters also ask for a wide variety of information, includ ing not only the lumbering and mill ing industries, but all others, even indirectly dependent upon the use of wood.
