safety meeting to enjoy the comfort |
ing heat of the stove and discuss, with !
the aid of our pipes, the question of
Safety First in a informal manner.
Our talk drifted from technical dis
cussion to stories on the subject and
Hank Weller got into a reminiscent
mood and looked back to the days when
the safety idea was first introduced at
the mill
Il was a member of the first safe
ty committee this mill ever had" be
gan Hank from behind his big black
corn cob pipe, land when I stop to
think how little we knew of protec-
ton against accident and how little
the men seemed to care about protec-
ton it makes me wonder how a fellow
could live to be as old as l am now"
1T was hard enough to get the men
to look out for themselves but when it
came to suggesting that the careful
ones amongst them help protect the
others, it seemed beyond their COM
prehension / was strolling thru the
mill one day, talking first to one and
then the other about the Safety First
idea and / came upon Joe Wallach oil
ing his machine. Some of you old
heads remember Joe. He was drown
ed five years ago last full, attempt
ing to cross the river on the ice be-
fore it was thick enough. Funny end
for Joe, too, him being such careful
fellow. Well he saw me coming and
thought he'd head me off before l got
started talking to him"
Don't waste no breath on me- says
Joe, I'm the carefulest man in this
mill / never take a chance and l
never come to work with my mind be-
logged with booze or late hours"
"'You are the kind of man 1 need
to help me- says l, for knew that all
he said of himself was true, You've
got to help keep the other fellows from
hurting themselves
Joe was oiling when came up and
he stood there now with his oil can
hanging, spout down, from his hand,
the oil dripping in big yellow drops
upon the floor"
Well, I'll do what cam says Joe,
Loyalty, but don't see how l can keep
the other fellow from getting hurt and
tend to my own business, too"
THAT point wasn't clear to me, Ell
Their, at that time for l was new at the
business, so to avoid showing my ig-
norance, passed on without offering
any further suggestions. Half an hour
later, as | was about to leave the mill
| saw two fellows carrying somebody
toward the door | ran to see what
was up and found that old man Mer-
rit, the same old lame fellow who
tends the yard gate now, had slipped
on the oily floor near Joe Walloch's
machine and fractured his hip
There was the answer to Joe's part
ing question a half hour before and
with the example of that accident
fresh in mind it didn't take me long
to convince him that by keeping the
floor around his machine free from
oil he was helping the other fellow to
keep from being hurt and was, at the
same time minding his own business

New York. He testified that he had
determined from an examination of
Waite that the prisoner showed no
signs of defective intelligence.
"He appeared as the average man
of his early life and environment, >
said DR.. Joliffe. my belief is that he
was an average man, somewhat super
fetal, inclined to be snobbish and of
no great intellectual attainment. He
appeared to be superficial in that he
was trying to cover up, to conceal.
I'm my opinion he was sane, | be-
lieve he knew the nature of the crime
he committed and was fully aware of
all phases of it. He had sufficient
mentality to appreciate his acts. He
was sane when he killed Peck
DO you consider Waite a normal
man." asked Walter r. Deuel., the
