No safety organization will be successful unless it has the active and sympathet- ic co-operation of all concerned. that reason, the one main purpose of such an organization is ta secure the o-oparation of the employes, not only be provided so that existing hazards be removed, but also by educa- tional means to bring about an elimi- nation of dangerous practices wherever found to exist. All Employes’ Suggestions Sought. “A complete record of the suggestions made by employes of railroads through their safety commit- tees is not available, but a receat re- lroad shows year period 27,496 recom- mendations were made. Of this nu ber 20,918, or 76 per cent. were of sufficient merit to have received atten- tion and correction. “As indicative of the oppartunity | that is today presented to every em- | ploye who carefully studies uasafe con- | ditions or unsafe practices, and re- pox'l.«' them so -that they may be changed, ane employe of a western | railroad in 12 months made 149 safety suggestions, 132 of.which were consid- skm trouble apply Resinol It improves a poor complexion and preserves a good one, so that you need no artificial means to enhance your at- tractiveness.

This shows what a wonderful opportunity each employe of a railroad has. “No longer can it be said that any employe is compelled to take chances or assume risks. The use of safety de- vices is an important factor in the pre vention of accidents. Good results ar undoubtedly o?t,u 1ed from their u but no mechanical safeguard can ful- fill its purpose without the co-opera- tion of efficient and everalert human beings having a keen appreciation of their duties and responsibilities. Such devices cannat be expected to elimi- nate accidents entirely, however, as the human equation must always he taken into account. “Our efforts must therefore be di- rected to the training and the develop- ment of the human equation—of the emplaye—so that when the test comes he will take no chance. If it can be in- stilled into the minds of railroad em- ployes that it is their duty at all times to be cautious and prudent and that they must not take unnecessary risks in the performance of their duties, a reduction ia accidents will most inly result. vailed changed conditions come here !

Other railroads have perfected arganizations where the safety features have been discussed only by the officials in charge. The safety section of the United railroad administration intends to utilize to the fullest extent the safe- ty organizations now in operation on such railroads as have working rgan- izations and to assist those railroads not having safety organizations to perfect such organization as will keep con- stantly in the minds of all officials and employes the necessity of care and caution so as to insure greater safe- ty in every possible way. and $6.98. “This is a great humanitarfan work in which science, labor, business en- terprises, and the government must all unite. You may rest assured that vou have the hearty support and co- operation of all government agencies in insisting in the advancement of any method that will bring about a reduc- tion in accidents. To make tha safety movement on American railroads a vital, living, energetic farce for good devolves upon the officials and em- ployes of the great railroad system to- day, unified in the one splendid organ- ization working untiringly for the wel- fare of the greatest nation on earth.” “If Loyal Be Carcful,” Says Dow.
