Railroad Men Are Giving Much
Thought to Preventing
Injuries.
A novel method is being em
ployed by Hurlington officials and
employes to lessen the frequency
of accidents . to men in railroad
.service. "Safety Postal Cards,"
addressed to the superintendent
are put at the disposal of the men,
who are encouraged to send in
suggestions for making condi
tions as safe as possible in
yards, shops, etc.
It' is said that last month 150 of
these postals were received on the
Omaha division, which is an in
dication of the great amount of
interest being taken in safety first,
and most of these suggestions
were valuable, reporting condi
ions which had become dangerous
and which was a simple matter
to remedy. It is evident that the
officials can hardly see every
obstructed passageway, every
piece of defective machinery,
every rotten board in platforms
along hundreds of miles of rail
way, but some employe, some
where, knows about every such
condition and the safely postal is
found to be a practical means of
reporting these dangerous things
so that they may be made safe
before someone gets hurt.
