IN the railroad shops and yards and m loading and unloading cars, in the factories and industrial
plants many accidents occur, in spite of every precaution taken. . Ninety per cent ot them can be
avoided if the workman will only take time to think. The majority of these accidents result in
the loss of fingers, an eye, a hand or foot or leg. Are you thinking of these members that are so
valuable to you? Are you thinking what it means to you and your family to make a cripple of yourself?
Many a hand now badly crushed once earned good
money. But it does not NOW and will jiever be able to
earn full wages again. So the employer loses the ser
vices of many a good man, the community a good pro
ducer and the family a good provider. In the interest of
all three, every accident avoided means conservation
of productive power. .
As everyone knows, many minor accidents, such
as scratches and bruises, ofttimes result seriously be
cause of neglect. Always take the time to go to FIRST
AID HEADQUARTERS and have your small injuries
attended to. If the importance of doing this could only
be impressed upon everyone it would save a good deal
of lost time and suffering.
Talk Safety as You Do Base Ball
All the safety devices we can install, 'till the safety
signs we can post, will have little effect unless you are
prevailed upon to take a personal interest in your own
safety and that of your fellow men.x '
There were in one state alone last year 80,000 ac
cidents in the factories,, workshops and-industrial
plants 80,000 men, women and girls injured or killed.
Two thousand of these accidents were fatal and in,
these 2,000 fatal cases were many husbands and fath
ers of families who left widows and orphans behind.
Seventy-eight thousand other persons lost their fingers,
their hands, their eyes, their feet or their legs.
ISN'T THIS AN APPALLING RECORD?
Look Out For the Cars
Many deaths annually and many accidents that
cripple for life are due to the habit of the public in walk
ing on railroad tracks and to carelessness at crossings.
People use the railroad as a highway. They act at
crossings as though caution were a thing that did not
exist. Result, injury or death.
; Better Be Careful
An accident will make you careful. But it is foolish
to lock the stable door after the horse is stolen. The pay
ment of compensation, if you are a workman, or acci
dent insurance if you are not, will not make up for the
Don't walk on the tracks. Avoid passing through
railroad yards, especially if you are a trespasser and
have no business there. The cars will get you some time
I,iOok out for the cars at crossings. Don't attempt
to cross, either afoot or by vehicle until you make sure
the train is not coming.
Than Crippled
loss of a hand or foot. The member is gone forever. No
use to be careful after the mischief is done. ".
, Better start now to think more of your personal
safety to place a higher value on life and limb.
