IMPRESSING NEED OF CAUTION

Western Railroad Has Set Forth Some Suggestions for Consideration of Employes. Here is a list of safety precepts prepared by the welfare men of a western line and which are deemed useful for reproduction on bulletin boards, pay envelopes and other printed matter to further the cause of accident prevention: “It is the chance takers who make widows and orphans. “It is better to cause a delay than an accident. Speed must always give way to safety. “What the men and management want and need is safety and regularity. “Every employe should appoint himself a committee of one to prevent one accident and if this was done we would wipe out the accidents. “Every employe should report promptly to his superintendent, foreman, to some member of the safety committee or other proper person every unsafe condition or method so that the same could be remedied. ''What Is needed is more safety men as well as safety things. “It takes less time to prevent an accident than it does to make a report of one.”
