Railway Board Bars Locked Rear Doors in Coaches
The Missouri railroad board issued an order forbidding locking the rear doors of passenger coaches. The United Commercial Travelers union filed the complaint, arguing that locked doors hinder rapid exit in accidents. The board allows door locking as trains enter stations but requires all doors to stay open while trains are in motion. The American Surety Company faces a show-cause hearing over alleged employment blacklisting tied to bonds controlled by it.
