Worker Killed in Accident

PHILADELPHIA—A railroad employee was killed May 18 after being crushed by a 1,500-pound web of newsprint. Jefferson Troester, 43, of Claymont, DE, was struck by the paper after opening a box car that was transporting the paper rolls. A preliminary investigation showed the paper shifted in transit, causing it to fall out when the doors were opened. The paper delivery was ticketed for a plant that prints the Philadelphia Inquirer and Daily News.
