Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book addresses the urgent need for limiting working hours for railroad employees engaged in interstate commerce, arguing that excessive hours endanger lives. The author points out that many serious accidents have occurred as a result of overworked employees. The book examines the problem from three perspectives: protection of interstate travelers, protection of employees, and protection of shippers. It cites statistics, resolutions, and expert opinions to build a compelling case for legislative action. The author emphasizes that machinery for proper enforcement is crucial, and that no railroad company need feel restrained if it takes proper measures to prevent excessive work hours. Ultimately, the book demonstrates that limiting working hours is essential for ensuring safety in the railroad industry.
