CAR OF FREIGHT TRAIN
Automobiles frequently strike loco-
motives at 'grade crossings, ;some-
times they hit behind the locomotive,
occasionally the anpact is with a car
in the train but a truck Shiver in
Edson, Alberta, has established a re-
cord by colliding with the sixtieth
cal of a freight train on the' Can-
adian National Railways as it was
proceeding over the highway cross-
ing West of Edson. Taking 42 feet
as average length. for a freight car
and allowing; for space beteveen cars,
the sixtieth car in that particular
train was approximately 2,800 feet
distant from the locomotive hauling
the train.

Canadian National Railways and cov-
ering a period of one month, show

ings too late to' "beat the engine"

Next is reported an incident from
Napanee, Ont., where a ear was driv-
en into the side of a locomotive and'
e fourth accident of similar charier-
er occurred at Kuroki, Saskatchewan;
when a coupe was badly smashed
hitting the locomotive's side.
The next series of incidents show
cars hitting into the train behind
she locomotive, the first of these at
'Simcoe, Ont., where the driver of a
car travelling at high speed swung
out to pass a eat standing at a
crossing and failed to beat the en-
gine by such a margin that the car
struck the step of the tender.
Reports which follow showing an
increasing margin of failure on the
part of the automobile driver to cross
ahead of the train. A Glasgow, Ont.,
driver caught the side of a motor
unit and was "totally wrecked", the
train escaping with broken steps and
some paint scraped off. Next a man
at Garneau, Que., struck a freight
car, then followed: a driver who at
Falmouth, Maine, hitthe fourth
car of a freight train when he put
gears in forward position intending
to reverse. After that the driver oa
a rather expensive matte of car hit
the fifth car of a train crossing the
highway at Lao aux Sables, Que.
Gradually these accidents oecur
fur't'her behind the locomotive and
the next noted was at Lemoyne, Que.
where the driver of a sedan and
trailer hit the caboose of an extra
freight, the caboose being proceeded
by fourteen laden _ freight cars.
Cobonrg, Ont., was the scene of
an accident when a freight trate
travelling slowly over a street cross-
ing was struck at its 22nd ear by
the driver of a coach who stated he
was "unable to see the train Jteeause
of foggy weather."
The driver who struck the sixtieth
San of a freight train clearly estab-
lished a record, but these and other
performances in striking locomotives
or ears are not relished by railway=
men' who .believe that thoughtless
drivers add considerably to the haz-
ards of railway operation.

In the . church were many unem-
ployed men who were present by dire
ect or indirect invitation. Doubtless
what the preacher said was pleasing
to the .unemployed men present. The
conclusion I came to was that the
preacher was talking through his hat
-that he was wholly emotional, that
he does not know the first thingabout the economies of business. In-
deed, the preacher frankly admitted
that he does not know much about
business economics. He said that be
knew more about moral values: He
had no solution to offer of the prob-
lem. of 'unemployment. All he knew
was that things are shockingly, dis-
tressingly wrong, and that something
should be done about it. It hardly,
requires preachers and their sermons
to inform us that the unemployment
situation, and problem are matters
of the first magnitude and of the
very greatest urgency. I cannot see
that it does any good when preach-
ers stretch nasty stories unless they
have, at the same time, a healing
salve to apply to the sores whose
anger then increase.
I ani not an employer, yet I know
something about the difficulties
which employers have to survive. I
know this, by way of example, nam-
ely: three out of four of Canada's
retail stares never have a 10th birth-
day under the same ownership, mean-
ing that 75% of all our retail busi-
nesses are sick unto death -that they
are destined to an early collapse.
This is not quite the same as saying
that 3 out of 4 retail businesses make
assignments inside tett years. Rather
does it mean that their proprietors
quit, because of financial necessity,
Thus, I know a small restaurant, Its
former proprietor sold out, confess-
ing that he couldn't stake his busi-
ness pay. He found someone else
with a bright and shining opthnism
to buy him out. And I aim just as
certain as I ant of tomorrow's sun-
rise that the new owner can't last -
that Ire too will be looking for a
buyer of his sick business long be-
fore two years pass. I know this
because it is easily possible to pre-
calculate the number• of sakes tran-
sactions required daily to keep the
business going, and to preealcu1ate
the weekly, quarterly and annual
sales required to pay all operating
expenses.. This sort of knowledge is
nd mystery, •no secret: it just as
simple as adding 2 and 2. Yet it is
knowledge not possessed by 90% of
our country's retailers. The restaur-
ant I speak of can't get enough cust-
omers because of its bad location.
Something which unemployed per-
sons -and, indeed, meet employed'
persons, also -never think of is .this:
their employers must increase sales
by substantial amounts .to justify
their employment. Let us look at this
'nutter in terms of figures.- Let us
suppose that the utan-or woman
seeking work wants a iti1nimtint of
$18 a week, or say $800 a year: Let
iis suppose further that the employ-
or's gross profit margin on what
lie sells is 25%. Thee the addition
to the employer's operating expenes)
of $900 a year will clearly require
him to increase his sales by $3600-
this just to pay the employee's wage
east. To sell $800 a month extra'
means more sales labour, more ha -tid-
bit -1g and wrapping, probably more
stockroom labour, perhaps more in -
Somme; certainly more clerical Iib-!
our; more credit risk. Moreover, the
employer requires to make a profit!
on the , extra salesrequiring to be
made, Otherwise, what advantages
would there be to him if he just re-
covered eche extra costs involved in
employing a man or woman at $18 .a
week?
I,
It doesn't stake any difference tai
the employer what department of his
enterprise the new employee will go
into, the office, the factory, the'
' -
stockroom, the sales department: his : '
budget has been increased by $900,
and this means that say $5000 extra
sales will be required in the, year;
to justify the addition of $900 a year
to leis budget. To find new buyers
for $5000 s svortli of the employer's `l

It is just plain stupidity to imagine.
