The total ac- {cidents since the first’ of the year has been 1,000 and some odd cases. This month’s “company union bul- letin” emphasizes the importance of “safety first.” The bosses are driving the men to greater speed and where two ten-inch planks were formerly used on the in- side scaffolding the men are told that they can get along with one. One! riveter tells me that this is not enough | as they have heavy tools and hose to drag along. Why all this noise about “safety \first” when men are driven at high speed-and compelled to work under | such conditions?
