Because of this apparent increase, al

the efforts for safety have not borne
the expected fruit. This indicates ex-

vision. It takes time for buds to
produce fruit and the movement for
safety is only in the budding stage.

the United States Steel corporation,
with headquarters in New York, con-
sists Of nine members, drawn from
subsidiary companies. This commit
tee acts as a sort Of clearing house for
safety matters, and to it as a focus,
there gathers a large amount of in
formation Of all kinds, data, sta
tistics, drawings, etc. The committee
issues, when advisable, safety bulle-
tins containing such information as
in its judgment, will be of general in
terest and utility. In addition, it ap-
points inspection committees to re-
port upon the conditions at the vari-
Gus plants Of the corporation. In gen.
eral, it acts as the center from which
the safety movement radiates.
Safety Committees at Work.
Each subsidiary: company has
such organizations for the promotion
of safety as best suits its conditions
and needs. Usually a central COM
mittee operates in conjunction with
district or shop committees until
finally the movement reaches the
place from which in last analysis the
returns must come, namely, the in
dividual workmen on the individual
jobs. For after the devices have been
installed and the rules posted, and
the books printed, and the signs
posted, and the circulars issued, the
fact remains that it is up to the men
themselves to see to it that the ef-
forts in their behalf bear worthy and
commensurate fruitage: So
While it will not be denied that
there is a certain hazard inherent in
industrial occupations, nevertheless,
it is the concensus of opinion that in

.cidents. When a man steps on nail
in a piece Of old board, the chances
are that somebody carelessly left that
board lying around ready to hurt
somebody else. When a piece of steel
hits man in the eye, somebody, care
lessly, continued the use Of a hammer
or chisel with a mushroomed head.
When a broken scaffold sends men to
their death, somebody usually has
shown indifference or ignorance in the
selection of lumber or the details Of
construction. Mere rules saying that
boards with nails in them must not
be left lying around; that tools with
mushroomed heads must not be. used;
that scaffolds must be properly
framed from selected lumber, will
not prevent such accidents unless men
themselves know and obey the rules

ing carefulness on the part Of all un-3
derground workmen. Nevertheless 1t
is astonishing to see at how many
points mechanical means of accident
prevention may be devised. AS We
enter the shaft house on the surface
Of an underground mine in every In
stance we notice that the timber shaft
is rallied about so that no person will
fall down into it and it is properly
."toe-boarded"s with boards high
enough to prevent objects from fall
ing down the shaft.
AS we go down the. ladderway be-
side the timber shaft we observe that
the shaft is boarded up solidly. This
is to prevent miners from attempting
to crawl across the beams which make
the frame work Of the shaft to enter
sub-levels ordinarily reached by go-
ing down to the level beneath and
climbing back to the sub-level. a
number of men have been killed In
Minnesota in this way. It Is ans ac-
cident that is entirely inexcusable and
is due only by making timber and

financial or philanthropic is a matter
of Indifference. Let us deal with facts
and not fancies. The fact, is that the
executive heads not only of the Steel
corporation but of practically all the
large corporations are trying to re-
duce the hazard or risk under which
the employees perform their labor;

That should be sufficient for the en-
ploye- He ought not to want to get
;; hurt. Unfortunately, there is con-
siderable evidence to show that Ger
tain classes of labor are willing to
take chance ~oh bodily injury for
the hope Of financialAgain. Speaking
Of this phase. Of the question, a care
full observer has used these words:
Fortunes Are Made.
"A laborer is badly injured. Upon
complete recovery he receives hand
some settlement. and returns to the
old country with more money than he
ever dreamed Of possessing. His fell
low workmen envy him his good for
tune, and If it is considered: that the
average workman has nc, way of Sc
curing a. large :. amount Of money
other than through the injury to his
body, and he sees others now as we'll
as ever, the possessors of what to him
is fortune, it is not to be wondered
at If it creates in him strong in
centive to deliberately face danger,
take chances of being hurt no worse
than the others and thereby lay the
foundation of his fortune. There is
no doubt in my mind that many a
worker warned of impending danger
has his natural instinct of self-preser-
walton arrested by the long nurtured
thought of profiting from an injury
to his person.; and a seconds halt in
thought processes will often prevent
escape"
Careless Man Dangerous.
The careless man., the man willing
to take an unnecessary chance, should
be- considered by his fellow workmen
as obnoxious, as II: he carried pesti-
lential disease. For such man will
have little regard for the welfare Of
others and be q constant source Of
danger to his fellow workmen.
And this brings @us to what, after
all is. said and. done, is the root of
the matter. To obtain intelligent: and
comprehensive answers to the; two
fundamental questions with which we
started: What are the causes of ac-t
cidents?'' and chow may they be re-
moved?". there must be hearty. and
willing cooperation of the employees.

Nothing happens without a cause.
If the cause be removed the thing
does not happen. Now, we all de-
plore accidents and wish they did not
happen. The obvious thing, then, to
do is to remove the cause. This is
beautifully simple as far as it goes,
but it does not go very far. Two
questions Immediately confront us:
What are the causes of accident"
and How may they be removed?" To.
attempt comprehensive answers TO
these questions is not within the scope
of this article. In fact, it is doubt
full whether comprehensive answers to
these questions can be given at. pres
ent, but the efforts that are being
made by various large corporations
that they will be answered. In fact
upon the whole question Of safety
there is being so much money,
thought and energy expended that
there is reason to hope that there
will be developed a new science based
as all sciences must be, upon abso-
lutte knowledge, which for lack of a.
better term, might be called science
Of accident prevention. It is to the
efforts Of the United States Steel cor
poration in this direction that we
wish to call attention.
When Work Was Started.
Feeling keenly the necessity for re-
ducing, If possible, the accidents to
employees, and approaching that re-
suits are best obtained by coordina-
ton and cooperation, Mr.. Charles
MacVeigh, general solicitor of the
United States Steel corporation, called
a meeting of the casualty managers
of the. subsidiary companies on. March
3, 1908, to consider the subject broad
ly. At this meeting, Judge Ebert H.
Gary, chairman Of the board Of d.
retirs, used these significant words:
I'VE will not hesitate to make the
necessary appropriations in money to
carry into effect every suggestion that
seems to us to be practical for the
Improvement Of the conditions at our
mills so far as the question of taking
care Of our employees, is concerned"
No Money Is Spared
Among the immediate results Of
this meeting was the expenditure Of
enormous sums of money in the
equipment of all plants with safety
devices and mechanical safeguards in
great number and of bewildering va
riety, until today, in the mines, mills
and workshops of the corporation,

committee Is not merely perfunctory
and these Investigations have been
very satisfactory. Where the injured
man has been careless, the commit
tee does not overlook this fact, but
lets him understand that it does not
approve Of his actions.
During the past Is months the
Oliver Iron Mining company has ex-
pended over $225,O00 in safety alone.
Accident prevention seems to be in
the air everywhere on the ranges.
Walking along a. pathway. with a
workmen were engaged in raziHg an
old structure. A board with nail
protruding through it was lying close
to the pathway. The: superintendent
turned the board over with the nail
downward and remarked that every
man was cautioned to remove nails
from all lumber thrown about the
property. Z
To prevent persons from falling
foot paths or roads approach the edge
Of the pits, and where paths cross pit
tracks guard fences are being erected.
For instance, a guard fence is placed
in front of the switchman's shanty
at the entrance of the Canisteo pit,
and another in front of the stairs
leading down into the pit, SO that no
one can walk directly upon the track.
An example of this may be seen in the
accompanying illustration" On. every
stairway, everywhere, throughout the
Mines hand rails are placed to pre-
vent falls downstairs-an important
matter, especially in CHI
mate where snow and ice is preva-
lent for six months or more each
year. We did not find a single CON
struction of an overhead character
that was not equipped with ratings
and toe boards to prevent two COM
mon and serious types of accidents
falls and falling objects.

vision. Safety devices" Of a me-
chanical character find few opportu-
