Continuous 'Railroad Murders Occur Rn Masse
On they go, the soulless man-devouring
corporations, monsters of greed, defiant of
law, insolent in the strength and immunity
of Money!
At every hour, of every day in the week,
some little group of mourners follow to the
graveyard some dead man, or dead woman, or
(lead child, murdered by the Railroads.
It is murder, for the element of Criminal
Negligence is involved in almost every one of
these railroad horrors.
Today it is the Engineer who is buried:
he lost his life because the company had em
ployed a cheap, incompetent telegraph opera
tor who mistook a Message, or a stupid flag
man who gave the wrong signal.
Atlanta, Ga., Thursday May 16, 1907.
Bv THOMAS £. WATSON.
Yesterday it was the Passenger who was
buried: he lost his life because of wornout
crossties, or rails, which threw cars off the
track.
Last week it was the citizen of the town
who was buried : he lost his life because there
was no employe of the road to walk in front of
the backing car.
