NEWS Or Twj \ 1 > COUNTRY-WIDE SAFETYCAMPAIGN Starts Octobcer 18, to Run Fourteen Days; All Rail roads Interested The first country-wide safety campaign, under the auspices of the United States Railroad Admin istration, will take place October 18 to 31 on eastern and western lines. Director General Walker D. Hines has announced that A. F. Duffy, manager of safety section of the railroad administration, will have direct supervision of the whole cam paign, which will be known as the National Railroad Accident Preven tion Drive. At one minute after midnight on the morning of October 18 the drive will formally open and until mid night of the last day of the month every one of the 2,000,000 employes of the country's railroads will be alert to prevent any accident to one of their number and to see to it that no worker is killed. Railroads Interested Recently there was completed a campaign known as "No-Accident" and during the three months i't was in progress the number of deaths and accidents was materially cut. This and other somewhat similar campaigns on scattered railroads prompted the F'ederal officials in Washington to arrange for every road to conduct an intensive drive for a two-week period. The advan tage of this simultaneous effort will be that railroad men, especially those in the operating, maintenance and mechanical departments, will think, talk and act safety whenever they meet. At the same time the traveling public and the families of the workers will join in the move ment and give their moral support. That there will be keen rivalry, especially among the larger railroad systems, Is a certainty. Each will strive to obtain a perfect score and the final figures will show how each road is observing the safety regula tions. No specific prize has been hung up for the winner, but the honor of standing at the top of the list will be sufficient Incentive foi any railroad man who has the inter est of his own line at heart.
