Attempt Is Being Made by Employees
to Prove That Many Cases Of
Pain and Grief Can be
Avoided.
Hale Holden, Regional Director, Has
Plans to Demonstrate That Loss
Of Life Can be
Avoided.

The national railroad accident pre-
vention drive is now in full sway.
Employees on all railroads under fed
eral control are upon their mettle, de.
termined to prove that many cases OF
pain. misery and grief need not occur.
Y That these two weeks of intensified.
sincere safety activity will show a
marked reduction in personal injuries
is without presumption. The several
no accident campaigns conducted on
various railroads throughout the Unit
ed States since January l show seven
ty per cent reduction in casualties on
these roads during such campaigns,
as compared with the accidents for
the same periods Of the preceding
year The campaign in the central
western region showed reduction of
over seventy-eight per cent.
1t is the purpose of Hale Holden
regional director, through the safety
organizations in this region, to demon
strate by this specialized drive that
the great economic loss Of life and
limb of trained industrial workers
can be eliminated, and to this end
325, 900 railroad employees in the CEN
trail western region have resolved to
do their best to work these. fourteen
days WITHOUT getunS huTL themselves
or being the cause Of another's in
juries.
The public has cause for concern.
Hardly day passes but what the
newspapers publish accounts of one
or more people being killed or injured
while driving automobiles over rail-
road crossings.
Statistics on file in the Office Of the
safety section of the railroad admins
traitor indicate that in the entire
United States for period OF one
year, there were 6,133 such casualties.
LIT people being killed and 1886 in
jured while crossing railroad tracks
al grade. Because of Increases pro-
duction and use of automobiles and
auto trucks, these accidents are grow
ing daily by leaps and bounds.
This national railroad accident pre-
vention drive covering as it does. the
entire United States and affecting an
enormous population Of high class in
iustrial workers is said to be causing
unusual interest in every city and
town throughout the country.
