Excerpt from Message of the President of the United States Communicated to the Two Houses of Congress at the Beginning of the Third Session of the Fifty-Eighth CongressThe safety-appliance law, as amended by the act of March 2, 1903, has proved beneficial to railway employees, and in order that its provisions may be properly carried out, the force of inspectors provided for by appropriation should be largely increased. This service is analogous to the steamboat-inspection Service, and deals with even more important interests. It has passed the experimental stage and demonstrated its utility, and should receive generous recognition by the Congress.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
