Thcs Frisco has employed this season at ice docks HS many as 150 men, m-hosp sole duty has been the icing of these refrigerator cars. Each refrigerator car holds approximately five tons of ice. A berry train of forty cars can be ired at the Monett, Mo., dock used by the Frisco in forty minutes, or a oar a minute. The force at this dock at the height of the season was thirtmen for each of the two shifts. During strawberry seasons the Frisco uses ice docks at Monett, at Rogers.

REA IDS PAPER ON SAFETY .\saista ~nt Superintendent R. C. Can; udy Before Central States Safety Congress "S' U'ETY from the Standpoint of the Supervisor" was the sub- ject of a paper read by R. C. (!anady, assistant superintendent of the Western division of the Frisco at the Central States Safety Cong-ress held at Kansas City, Mo., April 25. Mr. Canady said in part: "The company that I have the pleasure to represent started the n~ovement called Safety First in August, 1911, and the general lines. N-ith few changes, have been Iollowecl up to this day with splendid results. The thought that it was the man ant1 the manner in which the work was performed and not the device or ap- 1)liances that were causing all these :icctdents has been our guiding light since this movement started sonw seventeen years ago. "I have heard the statenlent. antl 1 believe it is true, 'Show me an in- dustrial plant or any division or sub- division of any railroad where they are having an unusually large nunl- ber of accidents or where accident prevention or safety first work is looked upon almost as a joke, and 1 will show you where the management of that organization or property has Pallen short on the job or the supervisors have not put forth the proper rffort to sell this wonderful product. accident prevention'. The supervisor is the teacher and you cannot expect the pupils to make 100 per cent grade6 with 50 per cent teachers. Person- ally, I feel that it is up to us super- \isore to be 100 per cent teachers." At this point Mr. Canady gave sta- tistics showing a great decrease in Lhe number of accidents on the Frisco since the railway began its accident prevention program. He said that the name of the department, Safety First department, was changed to Accident Prevention Department in Decemhc~.. 192.5. "Accident prevention meetingh. where all employes and supervisor; van get together at short intervaln. sho~rld be held, and previous accidents discused and how they could have been avoided. Constr~~ctivc> c.riticism always should he wolcometl This, in my mind, is one of' the best ways to handle this feature. Thew meetings, properly conducted, where c%rerybody can talk and discuss un- *afe practices and unsafe conditions. will go a long way toward better un- tlerstanding and correction. Thesc meetings, if conducted by supervisory officers, will not only help him to know and understand his men and Employes in F 'risco Hospital The following list contains the L)upree, V.

The value of personal contact cannot be overestimated, not only along safety lines but in the operat.ing and other departments.
