CARELESS EMPLOYEES For several years inefficient and careless employees have often paid with their lives for permitting railroad wrecks. And it will not

be surprising If the firing squads are even busier during the next few months, for Kaganovitch appears determined to bring order out of the chaos which is Russia's railroad system.

It is realised in the Kremlin that transportation is the weakest spot in Russia's system of national defonce. The danger of war with Germany is responsible in large mensure For the Government's present determination to build up its railroad system and introduce order and efficiency.

The wenkness of the transportu- tion system here is due to two factors. First, the legacy of rail- rand equipment inherited from the Tsars was not large and during the years of Civil war it disintegrated - rapidly. Locomotives were, operat 'ed without repair until they virtual- 1 ly fell apart. The Soviel Govern- | ment hus not been able to build | new equipment as rapidly as the old became useless. Second, the coun- try lacks a well-trained and dis- clplined corps of trainmen and administrators.

PASS DANGER SIGNALS

The extreme carelessness of trainmen was illustrated recently when investigators found. follow- ing a collision of the Moscow- Leningrad line, that engineers, in their greed to earn promiums for bringing their trains in on time, were wilfully running past danger signals.

M. Kaganovitch in his order to railroad administrators and train- men did not mince words. He declared:

"Only the absence of a real opera-' tive struggle against slacknicas and lack of discipline, only tho formal and callous attitude toward, wrecks and mechanical submission of coses to, the State Prosecutor and the -law courts, only the lack of skill-or desire of the commanders of the transport, beginning with 'super.
