RIGID INSPECTION THE HULE
Ceatral and sabordtnat Safety Com
aalte aperviso Operation aad
' Esaowad tha Slosran,
"Safetr First."
I
According- to tha report of tha Inter
state. Commerce commission, 197 railroad
employee were killed and 4,184 were more
lee severely Injured on the railroads
off The United State during the year ended
jne W, 1810, through carelessness or fall
tire to obaerva the rule laid down for
their ruidanea while enraged In their
regular railroad work.
That theae avoidable acclrienta entailed
a tremendoua economic loan troth to the
men Injured and to their employers, goes
without aaytng; that they have aet the
employes of the railroads to serious think
ing la evidenced by the significant and
stlnotly practical action taken recently
v the employee of the Chicago at North
western Railroad company.
Hafety, not only for employes, but for
the public, alway has been characteristic
of Northwestern operation; yet avoidable
accidents have happened to employes, and
through thane both the men and the com
pany have suffered loss.
To reduce this clasa of accidents to the
nlmum, and thua to increase efficiency:
make still greater the safety huih of
travel and operation along the IL'.UK) mile
of Northwestern lines, the serious think
ing of the employes has crystallised into
a definite organisation, covering every foot
of tha system and every detail of opeia
tlon. Beginning with a central kafety commit
tee compound of operating and other gen
eral official the organization has ex
panded till now there are aafety commit
tees on every division, .. carrying out every
day the main purposes of the organisa
tion the securing of greater safety through
more rigid inspection and stricter ad
herence to the company's rules.
The methods of these safety committees
are simple, but thorough. Stated tours of
Inspection are made by the committee ot
each division. Conditions favorable to
ready correction are attended to on the
spot; undesirable conditions, ofa general
character are reported promptly to the
central safety committee, with recommen
dations, and measures are taken without
delay to notify all of the division commit
tees and to have the danger reduced or
removed always perferably the latter.
Apply the remedy before the accident,
not afterward, la the baalo rule of proced
ure. .
The co-operation of the management, nat
urally, has been prompt and enthusiastic.
In every practicable way the men have been
encouraged to make the safety movement
the most characteristic feature of the oper
ative activities of the company. This
dominant purpose Is set out tersely in the
motto: "Safety First," which tha com
mittees have adopted.
Badge of Authority.
Kach member of a safety committee
wears a neat button bearing this motto
and the nam of the road, as a badge of
authority and to designate bis office.
The management and employes of the
Northwestern believe that nothing of
greater Importance to the traveling and
shipping public, than this safety organi
sation, has been introduced into Ameri
can railroad practice.
Its worth appeals at once to the prac
tical railroad man, and It cannot fall. In
time, to appeal with almost equal fore to
the intelligent general public.
As the division safety committees are
composed of engineers, conductors, brake
men, switchmen, firemen, trackmen, shop
mm. und station employes, and as the
central safety committee embraces the ac
tive general operating officials. It may be
seen that no point lias been left uncov
ered, no possible source of danger without
Its protective eye.
Add to this that the slogan, "safety
first," Is heard and repeated by '60,000
employes, carried into their homes In a
dosen different states, taken up by wives
and children In 60,000 'different neigh
borhoods, and spread thua through
village and town and city; add again
to all of this that the safety move
ment ' Is certain to spread till every
railroad In th United States ha
adopted and applied It in principle at
least and aurely. In view of such pros
pect, he would be a venturesome prophet
who would essay to forecast either Its
ultimate scope or Its salutary effeot upon
th life and economy of our citisenship.
' It cannot be considered anything short
of significant that a railroad system which
long has. striven to give "tLe best of
everything," should conclude deliberately
that safety to employes and public should
be the keynote of all of Its activities.

BALLOON PROOF AGAINST WIND
New Style Airship that la Irrslgmed
ss the Principle of th
Asger,
A new type of dirigible balloon has been
Invented. The balloon look like three
enormous links of sausage encircled by
narrow bands of aluminum shaped like
screw threads, which revolve when the
wind catches them. Suspended from the
, sausage joints are cars for passengers,
machinery, supplies and crew. On either
side are propellers. In the rear Is a large
fan-shaped rudder for ateerlng.
It la claimed by the Inventor, and de
signer, of this new aircraft, respectively,
Peter Macor of New Vork City and Au
gust Aucher of Pittsburg, Pa., that this
dirigible balloon Is proof against hurri- iff
Canes, storms tnrnnHos rvflnn.. .im.-. I
typhoons snd whirlwinds of every kind.
It will travel, they assert, in any desired
horizontal direction regardless of the wind,
it will be recalled that the Zeppelin
dirigible balloons have gone down to de- j
leai one alter another when opposed to I
the fury of the elements.
The Macor dirigible balloon, so called
after the Inventor, Is constructed on an
entirely novel and most interesting prin- '
clple. Aa tar aa the gaa bags, the pas-
senger cars, propellera and rudders are con- ;
ci-rned. they differ only slightly from (
thooe found on the Zeppelin balloon. Hull
