The railway surgeons OF the coun-
try In their national convention in
Chicago endorsed the safety first
movement and made public some OF
the practical steps its members have
taken for the conservation of human
life on the railroads of the country.
The spirit of the convention was
shown In remarks by DR.. s. C. Plum

Rock Island lines, who said:
There must be safety first in
every walk of life II the country shall
progress and the community become
larger and more healthy, and to do this
every one engaged in any duty where

charged with this observance safety

Further along in his address DR..
Plummer told OF some of the practical
steps taken BIZ the roads along this
lime. He pointed to the establishment

fact that sixty-eight roads in the Unit
