Safety devices to be inspected in proposed railroad bills
Fred L. Feick of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen discussed with the Indiana Railroad Commission plans to create an inspector of safety devices under the commission. The bill would require air brakes and automatic couplings be kept in proper condition, with the inspector earning 1500 dollars yearly plus travel expenses. Other measures aim to improve danger duty conditions, aid damage claims, and require employment letters indicating standing for workers leaving service. A streetcar bill would add a rear vestibule for conductors during busy months, benefiting both staff and riders.
