TREsP ASS|NG IS
OPPOSED BY ROADS
SAFETY FIRST INSPECTOR MEETS
MANY HERE in CAMPAIGN
FOR SAFETY FIRST.

The danger Of accident and death BY
track walking and other forms OF tres
passing on the railroads was DISCUSS
ed in Ottumwa Thursday when an in
spector OF the safety first department.
OF the Burlington met numper OF
heads of industrial concerns mere IN
company with railroad off1clals ana
discussed the dangers of trespasslns.
The result of his observations was
to bring out the fact that many clti-
zens Of Ottumwa mostly people OF ma
ture years who ought to know better,
risk their lives by walking on and Do
side the tracks. 1t Is astonishing now
numerous such offenders are. EN-
ployes of industrial concerns are per
haps the worst of all. Many such
there are who on their way to and
from work, take the track like the
proverbial duck takes to the pool or
pond. There is this difference though,
the duck seeks his natural element
where everything makes for comfor<
and security, while the track trespas-
ser violates the laws Of common sense
and safety.
The heads of a number Of the indus
trial concerns and other citizens In
terested in the safety first campaign.
recently met a number OF railroad Of
ficials, and discussed the trespassing
evil
The evils Of trespass1ng on railroad
property where danger abounds was
referred to and general desire ex-
pressed to have the practice stopped.
The carelessness Of people OF all ages
and both sexes in railroad yards and
along the tracks both in and out OF
the city; train hopping by both neil
and boys In which the example OF the
former is unfortunately too OFTEN
followed by fatal results by the young
er ones and the wanton disregard for
danger so often displayed by persons
at railway stations when trains are
approaching, all received their mead Of
discussion. The trespasser was con-
sidered a danger to his fellow man be.
cause he not only risked danger to
himself but set an example for others
to follow.
The following signed notice Is being
posted in a number of the factories
and other places where labor is en-
ployed in the vicinity Of railroad
tracks:
Take No Chances.
The practice of trespassing on rail-
road tracks is extremely dangerous
and causes the loss Of thousands OF
lives.
A railroad inspector has called at
tention to risks run by employees OF
industrial concerns in Ottumwa, who
use the railroad tracks and right OF
way. going and coming to and from
work
This matter is brought to the atten-
ton of all concerned with the expecta-
ton that there will be no further
cause Of complaint.
