ASSOCIATION IS
NOW PERMANENT
SAFETY FIRST ORGANIZATION
PERFECTED AT RENO
MEETING

Governor Tasker l.. eddie was
elected president of the new Nevada
Industrial Safety association this af-
ternoon, and w. +. Wallace of the in
dustrial insurance commission was
named secretary, a y the Reno Ga
zette. After a two-hour session in
the University of Nevada gymnasium
this morning, the first annual con-
vention was adjourned until >
o'clock, when the officers we're elect
ed.
There were a number of ladies at
the sessions today and a committee
of the club women was named to
consider how the women's clubs
may cooperate with the schools tow
ard safety for children. At the re-
request of the ladies present, J.. r..
Brownell, safety expert from Cali
%fornia, furnished addresses at which
publications relating to safety for
children who cross streets or car
tracks may be secured.
J. M. Fulton, assistant general
freight and passenger traffic man
ager of the Southern Pacific COM
pany, read from the minutes of the
safety meeting at Ogden, April 3. of
Southern Pacific employees, in order
to show the system under which. in
five years, $4,000, 600 passengers
have been carried without a fatality.
He also referred to the Plaza in Reno
as the most dangerous spot between
San Francisco and Ogden, owing to
the fact that the people continually
cross the tracks at the Plaza between
street intersections.
The address of j.. r. Brownell was
along general lines. In speaking of
the transportation phase, he referred
to an order by a southern railroad
that it's colored employees be furnish
ed with safety raZors. A white cross
on a green field was referred to as
the safety emblem.
After being amended in one par
t~icular, following long discussion,
the constitution prepared by the
committee of nine was adopted and
the bylaws were then considered in
detail, amended and adopted. The
amendments proposed were prepared
in advance at a caucus Saturday af-
ternoon of part of the degelates to
the convention. Most of the amend
ments were in small particulars, but
in one case there was extended dis
cussion and a division of sentiment.
The point was as to whether the exc
cutive committee should have power
to remove, for cause, officers elected
by the board of rs directors. The
amendment finally carried and only
the directors may remove officers.
Another amendment provided that
5 per cent of the 100 members must
be present in person for a meeting
of the association. These may have
proxies of other members. 1t was
formerly arranged that 10 per cent
should be present in person or by
proxy.
