DECLINES TO GRANT
ORDER FOR LIGHTS
Commission Says No Need For Light
ing all Switches Glad to
Remedy Specific Cases.
In an opinion written by Commis
sioner Cook, the state railway com
mission denies the request of the
trainmen's brotherhood, presented by
Harry Ford, asking that all railroad
switch stands be ordered equipped
with standard lights in yards where
a switch engine is operated at night.
This was later amended to require
the equipment of all stands used at
night in yar dlimits and that they be
kept burning nights when the yards
are being used. '
The railroad managers stated that
they had all necessary lights burning
and that some switches were located
where to light the stands would be
impossible. The men insisted that
the absence of lights on all stands
created a dangerous condition, that
men were apt to injure themselves
by stumbling over them or falling
over tie ends.
Commissioner Cook says that the
testimony did not disclose any case
of where anybody had been hurt. He
held that no general need of such an
roder had been disclosed and there
fore denied the request. He said it
was recognized that there might be
concrete cases where lights should be
used where not now used, and these
the commission would be glad to act
upon and give relief. The general
situation was cared for by the safety
committees. Personal examination by
Mr. Cook showed that all the princi
pal stands are well lighted and he
thought that with ordinary care and
forethought, together with the use
of agood light in the hands of. the
operator, no greater hazard was run
at night than at day.
The testimony showed that the
maintenance of switch stands cost
$32 a year, and the commission says
that to require all to be lighted
would place an unreasonable and un
just additional expense, when the
fact is the carriers are well within
the law now.
With respect to the clearances
asked for, the commission says that
to grant the request would mean the
reconstruction of every yard and ter
minal in the state, and would clear
ly be an abuse of power by It.
