UNION PACIFIC
SPRINGS SCHEME
Members will be Given In
StructiOn Free; Employees
Included

The Union Pacific Emergency asso-
citation is the name OF a new organiza'
tion which is being perfected by the
officials OF the Union Pacific. The pur-
nose OF the association is to perfect
a system Of giving first aid TO the in-
iured in cases OF railroad wrecks and
accidents.
Tho subject is one thet has attracted
the attention Of nearly every railway
system in the world, and the value of
prompt and scientific aid to the injur-
ed has again and again dwelt upon
NJ large by surgeons and physicians.
Statistics show that on railway sys-
TENS whore good arrangements have
been made for giving the injured prop
er attention before the arrival Of sur
eeons the death rate from accidents
has been reduced by more than so
per cent. The Union Pacific has is
sued circular giving the details of
its plaA. Any employe is eligible to
membershlp and free instruction will
be given. Glasses viii be formed at
convenient points on the line for prac.
tical instruction by competent sur
eeons. the company furnishing mater
iais free. a course upon emergency
work will be given to consist Of five
lectures and transport and ambulance
corps will be organized composed Of
members who have passed satisfactory
examinations as to their ability.
The members will also be instructed
in the use of what is known as emer-
gency surgical boxes, with which near
ly every passenger and freight train on
the system is provided and which are
also placed az convenient stations
along the lines. These boxes are pro
ylded with chest Of bandages, tourne-
quets and antiseptic preparations and
hereafter the box equipment viii be
much more elaborate. II was found
in the past that the emergency chests
did little good because there was never
anyone on the train who knew how to
use intelligently the materials pro
vided. The association is to remove
that difficulty Recent inquiry was
made OF 200 railroad systems regard
ing the use Of emergency surgical
boxes, and forty replies We're given.
All of the forty roads answering stated
that they used the emergency boxes
either on trains or at stations or both.
Some OF them stated that lectures were
given to employees regarding the use
OF the surgical materials, others that
lectures were going to be given, and
some that equipment was more com
piete on passenger than on freight
trains. Few roads, however, have
gone into the matter as systematically
and thoroughly as the Union Pacific
and results viii be closely watched,
Outside of the humanitarian side Of
the question the precautions that
many roads have taken result in a
material saving in the way of damage
suits and expenses in taking care Of
the injured The pioneer in providing
emergency boxes was the Denver &
Rio Grande which inaugurated the
system IA 1871. The Lake Shore
came next in 1887 but not until in the
nlneties was there any considerable
attention paid TO the matter and only
in the last two years has much i'm
proyement been made.
