and Entertainment.

The largest gathering of railway en-
ployees in Topeka or Kansas will be
| held in the Auditorium, Saturday even
! ing, April >, when the Santa Re rail-
way under the supervision of ]. D.
NJ. Hamilton, claims attorney, will ar
range safety first" rally for the
benefit of all the employees of rail-
roads either in Topeka or out of the
city The Santa Fe is planning on a
crowd of at least 5000 persons
The rally will be managed by the
employees of the operating and me
cnanical departments OF the Santa Fe
Railway company Admission will be
free, by ticket. There will be no res
ervation of seats-first come, first
served.
Nearly 5000 employees and their fam
lilies have signified their intention to
be present.
This rally is the outgrowth of the
war being waged by the Santa Fe and
it's employees to reduce the number of
avoidable accidents on the line as well
as in the shops. A few months ago
President Ripley was convinced that
too many unnecessary accidents were
happening and as the great human1-
tartan which he is, he called to his
counsel J. D. NJ. Hamilton, claims at
torney of the system and it was de-
cided to at once begin a campaign by
not only lettering the track, equip
ment, shops and machinery but
through picture films. slides and lee
lures endeavor to instill into the mind
of each and every employee visible
eXemplification of the right and the
wrong way to do his work AS the
records of the claim department, where
all accidents are recorded, show about
20 per cent are brought about by the
carelessness of employees, it was hoped
that a higher standard of care could
by this mode of education be instilled
into the minds of tie wOrkmen and
thereby many lives. limbs and injur-
les to the body be averted and long
list of sorrows prevented. Mr. Hamil-
ton selected Mr.. Isaiah Hale, formerly
of the Chicago & Great Western rail-
way, in conjunction with himself to
work out a plan whereby the lessons
of safety to be brought home to the
employee might be promulgated, and
rallies similar to the one to be held
in our city have been held at many
points on the line and met the ap-
probation of the employees who are
enthusiastic and lending a helping
hand in the promotion of ideas of
safety.
The assemblage Will be called to or
der by Claims Attorney Hamilton who
will in a few remarks introduce Mr.
c. w. Kouns, general manager, as the
chairman of the evening. The pro-
gram will be replete with an organ
recital by Prof. D. H. Seymour; music
by the Santa Fe Apprentice band and
quartette; moving pictures and stere-
opticon slides explained by Commits
sioner of Safety Hale, so that the ev-
ening will be feast of pleasure and
and should be attended by
every railroad employee and his fam
