    Industrial Leaders of the 1865-1900 Era: Robber Barons or Industrial Statesmen?

    Q: How is the freight and passenger pool working?
W.V.: Very satisfactorily. I don’t like that expression “pool,” how- ever, that’s a common construction applied by the people to a combi- nation which the leading roads have entered into to keep rates at a point where they will pay dividends to the stockholders. The railroads are not run for the benefit of the “dear public”—that cry is all nonsense—they are built by men who invest their money and expect to get a fair percentage on the same.
Q: Does your limited express pay?
W.V.: No; not a bit of it. We only run it because we are forced to do so by the action of the Pennsylvania road. It doesn’t pay expenses. We would abandon it if it was not for our competitor keeping its train on.
Q: But don’t you run it for the public benefit?
W.V. The public be damned. What does the public care for the railroads except to get as much out of them for as small consideration as possible? I don’t take any stock in this silly nonsense about working for anybody’s good but our own. . . .…

    CASE ANALYSIS: "THE BLAST IN CENTRALIA NO. 5"

    CASE ANALYSIS: "THE BLAST IN CENTRALIA NO. 5"

    The obvious problem with Centralia No. 5 is that an explosion killed 111 people. However, prior to the actual explosion, the problem is less obvious, especially since Centralia No. 5 was similar to so many mines that did not explode. In this analysis, I will examine the possible roles and responsibilities of Driscoll O. Scanlan, the mine inspector, given the "corruption of modern administrative enterprises" prior to the accident. From this perspective, the perspective of a public official in the field, the problem is that a potential danger exists and the regulatory machinery in place to address the danger is ineffective. As an expert, Scanlan recommended that the mine be "dusted" with non-explosive, pulverized stone to diminish the possibility of the coal dust's exploding. However, his expert advice alone was not enough to motivate a response.…

    Summary On The Transcontinentals And The Making Of Modern America

    Railroaded: The Transcontinentals and the Making of Modern America looks at the way that railroad owners found a way to turn that business into a big business and earn millions upon millions for themselves. A majority of the book shows how the railroad owners received lots of money for the corruption and other behind the scenes deals that went on. The railroad for how corrupt it was, unfortunately shaped the way America was built and became the superior power that it is in the present day.…

    Centralia No. 5

    Driscoll Scanlan, who was a state mine inspector, notified public sector safety professionals from state and federal agencies of the hazards as a result of inspections. Scanlan addressed many issues concerning the safety of the employees and ways of which to resolve these issues. He could have addressed some other issues as well, in hopes that he would get someone to pay attention to what he was saying. Scanlan investigated the mine several times and he should have addressed the issue that too many workers were in the mine at a time. When the special commissions were doing their investigation, they found that there should be no “more than a hundred men working on a single split, or current, of air” (Stillman, 2010b, p.36). Another issue Scanlan could have addressed was the fact that when the special commission board was investigating the mine, no one was told of the date of the appointment. Every person has the right to be able to prove their issues and concerns, and by the Mining Board not informing the Union of when this was going to take place, was very unprofessional. The…

    Centralia Mine No. 5

    Many things come to mind when trying to ascertain why the tragedy occurred and how it could have been prevented. In this case, public administration failed on many levels. Clearly, there was a very politically changed climate operating in Illinois during this time, as evidenced in political/patronage appointments. The Governor hired a campaign employee with no specialized experience to be the Director of Mines and Minerals. There was a hands-off approach by administration officials in dealing with oversight of the mine operations. This was on multiple levels. Lastly, regulation devoid of proper enforcement is useless (Garvey, 1997). Inspectors who do their jobs must have the confidence in administration to fulfill theirs and enforce regulatory measure that could have prevented disasters of this type.…

    Dakota Access Pipeline Research Paper

    According to Standford Levin “There is more risk of an oil spill from rail transportation than there would be from a pipeline, so objecting to the pipeline because of potential harm to the lake and water supplies simply ignores reality. The potential harm will be reduced if the pipeline is constructed” (Levin). Is always does not take into account the amount of pollution that trains can produce. According to the Respiratory Lung Association, trains emit 40 toxic air chemicals. These chemicals can cause asthma attacks, heart attacks, lung cancer, strokes and even premature death (Trains). Being able to get rid of these trains not only decrease the risk of many diseases but it also decreases the possibility of oil spills. That is not only a benefit for the US but also for the…

    Southern Railway's Importance In Railroad Law

    1903 saw a train accident that had not only great importance in railroad law, but also a large cultural impact. On the Sept. 27th, Southern Railway ordered engineer Joseph “Steve” Broady to make a particularly dangerous run. The train hauled mail as part of a lucrative contract between Southern Railway and the US Post Office. The train, known as Fast Mail, earned a reputation for timely delivery. Southern Railway wanted to maintain this reputation. They ordered Steve to drive the route at increased speed. The engineer obeyed despite warning signs about treacherous turns. On one such turn, the train jumped the rails plunging into a deep ditch. Eleven people died in this accident. Southern Railway placed the blame on the engineer. This has…

    Ethics and Amtrak

    The Amtrak case study is a horrible accident that occurred in 1993. I feel the entire cause of the accident was a series of events that could not have been known. The stakeholders in this care are the Amtrak employees, customers and land owners of the railway lines. The biggest interest of the stakeholders would be loss of life. No one wants to be involved with the loss of a human life. And I am sure there are several financial reasons for the interest, as well.…

    Why Is Living on the West Coast of B.C. Dangerous?

    The west coast of B.C. is an extremely hazardous place to live in because it is located near the Cascadia Subduction Zone, a known producer of megathrust earthquakes. Once the earthquake strikes, the primary effects will leave the cities located on the coast in ruins, but the secondary effects are the main antagonists in the story; victims will have to struggle with fires, food shortages, and panicking citizens. Fires that were sparked by broken gas lines and electrical wires can burn an entire neighborhood in minutes, but don’t expect any fire trucks, ambulances, or any aid vehicles any time soon. Roads will be blocked and broken, so getting to the fire safely will take at least twenty times longer than usual. With no help available, residents can only evacuate the scene before suffocating from smoke inhalation. Homeless people will be forced to live in crowded temporary shelters, where little to no food or privacy is available. As humans, we need food and clean water to maintain a strong and healthy body. However, when we are only reduced to a small snack a day, we will be prone to diseases and may die of starvation. So to lower the risk of being sickly, people will burgle, assault and, in the most extreme cases, murder for more food and water in such a dangerous time. At this point in time, all the peace and tranquility becomes anarchy and chaos. Panic stricken people will run around, doing irrational things and unintentionally hurting others. The actions and reactions of the citizens are unpredictable, like an earthquake and the power of its magnitude. We cannot stop them, but hope for the best and prepare for the…

    ‘Should we spend more money on predicting for an earthquake than on preparing a town for an earthquake?’

    ‘Should we spend more money on predicting for an earthquake than on preparing a town for an earthquake?’

    In May 2008, a major earthquake hit Sichuan in the south west of China, it was estimated that around 69 000 to 80 000 people were killed and buildings collapsed with people in them information from an OCR science booklet, a news sheet. In my case study, I will be writing about Should we spend more money on predicting for an earthquake than on preparing a town for an earthquake I will do this by discussing different point of views of people if they agree or disagree with the statement above and use their opinion as evidence. In the end of the case study, I will have made my point clear. What is an earthquake, and what causes it An earthquake is a sudden shockwave called a seismic shock (a fast movement of energy that spreads quicker than sound) which is caused by rocks being under stress by the movement of the tectonic plates at plate boundaries and eventually the stress from the rocks build up and reach breaking point. At that point, the stored up energy is released in the form of shockwaves.1 Arguments that supports the statement David Petley, who is an executive director of the Institute of Hazard, Risk and Resilience in the University of Durham, wrote an article in The Guardian. Petley (2012) points out an intriguing argument stating that a successful prediction would greatly reduce the loss of life, if not necessarily the economic damage, by permitting dangerous buildings to be evacuated, tsunami-prone areas to be cleared, and hospitals and rescue teams to be prepared and on standby.2 From this statement it appears that The Guardian believes a successful prediction prevents millions of lives dying or injured by an earthquake, countries wont be economically damaged as houses can get ruined by earthquakes, if people do get injured hospitals and rescue teams will be ready on standby. However, whether David Petley, from The Guardian, is in favour of prediction will be discussed later on. Dr Michael Blanpied, who serves as an Associate Coordinator of the USGS…

    History of Turkish National Security

    To understand and make clear the duties, structure, and history of National Security Council, we should first analyze the term national security.We should see national security as polirical and judicial term. It is political, because it changes according to the political circumstances in different states. For exaple, Turkey 's understanding of national security is different than of Israel 's.
