RAIL SAFETY WORK
Saves 1000 Lives in 7-Year
Period

BY International Labor News Service.
Chicago. - Forty-four Amtrican
railroads report that the safety
movement has saved 1,600 lives and
prevented $4,000 injuries since 1920,
when the movement was started, Carl
B. Gray, president of the Union Pa
cific, told the annual convention of
the Safety Council of the American
Railway Association here.
"These Al roads out of the 189 Class
roads in this country reduced their
wastage loss, arising from wrecks and
personal injuries, from 100000, 900
in 1920 to less than $90,000,000 in
1896" continued Mr.. Gray "Pay-
ments totaling $6O,OOO,OOO for person
al injuries are included in that 1920
figure. We cut that item to less than
100000 last year. Those figures
apply only to actual railroad en-
ployes."
Last year there were 80 per cent
fewer collisions than in 1917" said
Lew R. Palmer, former president of
the National Safety Council "That
happy feat is directly traceable to the
safety movement. | would estimate
that in the same period the 100000
railroad men in this country have
been saved over 10000 casualties by
means of safety instruction"

Community Chest
Driue May 1880
"A Part of Our Civic Duty and Also Part of Our Lives
That is the Community Chest''-Rev. James HI Denney

Further plans for the Hamilton
Community Chest drive to start May
Is, were formulated at a kickoff din
ner of the business section division,
held at the Y. M. C. A. Tuesday night.
Though the weather was something
fierce, rain pouring in torrents, the
outpouring of the workers outshone
the weather. The meeting was a
rouser. Never was there more pep
nor more enthusiasm over subject or
project than oozed from the attending
workers at tn edinner Tuesday night.
That meeting certainly presages great
success for the drive. If the other
division, the homes division, shows
the same enthusiasm and pep as the
workers of the business division, there
will be nothing to it, going "over the
top" for the drive, this year, but sue
cess.
E. l.. Newhall led in singing "Amer-
ica," and how they did sing! Rev.
James H. Denney, of the First Meth
odist Church, made fine talk which
stirred up the listeners to the boiling
point with enthusiasm. Rev. Den
ney pointed to the fact Cincinnati
just went over the top in $2,000,000
drive, and said there was no reason
why Hamilton shouldn't do as well in

/ its 100000 drive-and all agreed
with him and determined that it
should be SO if work will do it.
Frank Vaughn, chairman of the
campaign, made rousing address in
which he enumerated the IL agencies
to be benefited and said: Forget
any prejudice that may be held
against these organizations and work
for common good. The appeal of
each agency alone is sufficient to
stimulate contributions on the part
of the people, for the general uplift
of those who have been unfortunate
in their lives"
! Darrell Joyce, in charge of the
homes division, explained the plan
and progress of that division. Mr..
Joyce was followed in his talk by
other speakers, Frank Barker and
George. Hepke. Both these speakers
injected more pep into the workers.
Lucian Kahn, chairman of the man
ufacturers' division, told the workers
"The Community Chest is an enter
prise of charity that is one of the
fundamental issues of the progress of
any city. The men who canvass the
city are not begging for money!" he
said, "they are only giving everyone
the equal chance Of learning the why
and wherefore of the chest and how
their contributions can aid in the
great cause" He also stressed facts
brought out by Vaughn, in which he
urged everyone to give, not just a
few, so that when the campaign
closes, 10000 citizens will be saying,
81 helped" instead of three or four
/ thousand
1t was pointed out by Mr.. Kahn
1 that the per capita contribution in the
Cincinnati Chest campaign was we'll
over four dollars, while in Hamilton
it is barely two dollars
Arthur Wellington, of Chicago, who
is managing this years campaign, also
spoke and said: "In all of the cities
where l have been connected with
campaigns of this nature, | have never
experienced such valuable help as has
been SO prominetly displayed in Ham
ilton. Mr. Wellington expressed his
heartfelt appreciation of the cooper
alton already given him in the pre-
liminary plans for the drive.
The goal set for this years drive
is 100000, the time set for the drive
is May 1880, inclusive 1t behooves
every citizen to lend every assistance
to those who have offered, and will
Eoffer, their time and effort to make
the drive success-and more so.
Following are the twelve agencies
to be benefited: Associated Chari-
ties, Babies Milk Fund, Boy Scouts,
| Children's Fresh Air Camp, Colored
Community Service, Training School
for Girls, Girl Scouts, Butler County
Humane Society, Public Health
League, Salvation Army, Young

Washington.-The upholding Of an

tives of the Amalgamated Association

ployes from inducing Indianapolis
