OF
SAFETY FIRST

was recently given additional
emphasis on the Nashville, Chat
tanooga, Il st. Louis Railway in
the appointment of superin-
tendent of safety and the forma-
ton of safety committees on eve
ry division of the system, has
been thoroughly organized. Ac-
cording to Chas. M. Anderson, in
charge Of this work, the same
spirit which was responsible for
the promotion of the movement
has characterized every employee
in his efforts to cooperate in the
decreasing of accidents and the
promotion of safety.
A pamphlet outlining the move
ment has just been printed and
will be given general distribution
among the employees of the COM
pany. The following appears as
preface to the booklet: "The
safety movement is an honest one
it is built upon the solid and sub
stantial foundation of right, and
it is the earnest hope that every
man in the employ of the road
will look upon it in that truly
American spirit which places
humanity above everything else
and which will enable him to
intellectually endeavor to up
hold and promote the cause of
safety first, last and always--be-
cause it isfor humanity-- because
it is for economy---because it is
right.
! Eightlocal committees have
4 been formed representing every
branch of the service and at the
meetings. of these men various
Suggestions for the correction of
dangerous practices are made,
unsafe conditions are pointed
out and corrected, and in the fur
therance of this work the men
are assured the hearty co-opera-
tion of their superior officers all
along the line. AS a result off
this cooperation many beneficial
changes have been reported and
those who are given to unsafe
practices have been urged to dis
continue them not only for their
own safety, but for the safety of
others:
The management has encourag-
ed the. work and permits the
men who attend these safety
meetings to do so without the
loss of time and with all eXpen-
SEES paid.
On the Huntsville division the
men have taken up the matter
of discouraging walking on tracks
with the school teachers and
the children are warned ofsthe
dangers of this practice which
has resulted in many fatal acci-
dents and considerable Ii tigat-
ion.
Recently goggles were ordered
for the men who work at places
where eye accidents are likelyto
occur. Bulletin boards will be
put up at the shops and at other
points where the men may be
advised of the progress the work
and given statistics from time
showing the benefits of safety
and the evils of carelessness or
Indifference.

All bids for the new Keokuk Coun.
try club building were rejected last
night By the committee which opened
the bids. The estimates ranged from
$4,000 to $4,000. AS this figure was
more than the club expected to pay,
1t was necessary to reject all Of the
estimates offered.
The architect was ordered to make
some minor changes In the plans, and
the bids will then be asked for on
these modified plans. The changes
will in no way affect the general de-
sign Of the building.
The changes will be made to econ.
omize certain features Of construc.
ton, and this 1t is believed, will re-
suit in smaller estimates being sub.
mitted. AS soon as the plans are
modified additional bids will be So
licited.
The building committee opened the
bids in the office of J. 0. Boyd, who is
chairman of the committee.
The proposed new club house will
have the same general lines of the
one which was burned last year, but
will be more convenient and roomy.
When the club building is completed
the plant Of the Keokuk Country club
Will be one Of the best in the state.
