Unfortunately it cannot .be - detailed here. Suffice to sayjthat the First Co-Operative Safety Congress was held under auspices of'-the Association of Iron, and Steel Electrical , Engineers in Mil waukee, in 1-912, and, as a result, the National^Safety Council was organized in New York the following year with fourteen members. During the first'year , the member ship increased, to 971. * \-jJ ' p. The pioneer? of American safety went- .to work on the sound'premise that acci- : dents were?an unnecessary, part of pur. social order and'that through'.application of . proper remedial measures" they coulfr'be avoided. They set about to .nationalize.'this ' theory, and toxteyelop the. detailed methods .and materials through which .accidents cpuld^be prevented.. The members of .the organization 'how are' more than' ever' convinced ihat accidents are unnecessary and'that they cad be;.and are being pre- _ yented. Striking examples of reductions in many different fields prove this conteh- bon.,' O . .. Results of Organized |a?ty. ' . ' -Since the National Safety . Council was organized in -national accident death rate in all fields excepting motor vehicle has been, reduced 42 per. cent . The motor vehicle accident problem continues to be a serious one. . White there was, a slight dedirie-in'fatalitiestin.;1932-i;the first !drop that ever'occurred--1933 .witnessed ' a.-slight.increase, and the.rise has'been so-accentuated during.die-first, three^iiarfers of 1934 that the 'year willprobably represent a new all-time. high. Better-than- aVerageresults in motor Vehicle, safety have been achieved among school .children,, in - commercial vehicle fleets, in states- with properly administered drivers liedise . laws and in cities ;wtih ,an effective.-community, safety organization.'These bright ' spots indicate that die national problem can be solved by a careful study an^ appli cation of: the methods wHTch^have already produced results. .. . v-> . The* National., Safety Council was started as an industrial safety-'organization and the best results are. to be . 'expected in this field. : Here spectacular' achieve-. ments have been made. "The steam railroads,, for instance, have reduced the. accident rate among employees .75 per cent during^the past., ten years. `A group of our largest steel industries have cut their accidents'90. per cent since 1913. Every, year, scores of. industrial establishments go through the! entire year without a singleddis abling injury'among their Employees. - - ',, . . '' Along with 'these reductions the whole psychology of1 accidents has changed. ..Employer and employee both, look ait the proposition from a different viewpoint.thati' they did .some two decades ago. Accidents- now are really out of date. In many !>. - 9 0 ' . A. . A?

There is very little`'room today for the careless'worker in modern industry. ,, ...... ' .' Looking Ahead Q The safety problem.is a. universal one--and always will be---just as Tong as .human' beings inhabit the earth. Safety applies c-to^ everybody and to .everything, . physical or material; to every human act, to every man, ,woma&3and. chiULylf is only natural, therefore, that the idea which seems , to have so-firmly talmn root-in the United States should branch, forth into other countries of theCworld. Organisa tions similar in purposes ^and activity to that of the National Safety' Couridt have sprung up in many countries. Coimcil posters havd -beeriwidely copied, for foreign, use and'sfeveral Council jpublicatiops. have betii ^translated into other.- tongues.. > All ofTbese are hopeful signs of the times in the world of Safety. -The.National 1 Safety Council is still young--as institutions go."-A great a^oimt of .worth-while' . work has been crowded into its short life Foundation , work is always-slow, whether . one is building safe skyscrapers or safe men. The National- Safety Council has beeh - digging away at the bed-rock of. public consciousness. It has made, real progress and its achievements furnish ample inspiration for continuing' its humanitarian efforts. *; i ^^W Cooperation / * -- * The purposes and policies of the National Safety touncil are pht always under- ; stood by those not in dose touch with brief and definite presentation of the the Council's work. .To meet the need-far a Council's- objectives, the- following has' been { approved by the Executive^Comraittee as an official statement of policy: ` "The National Safety Council's objective is the-elimination of accidents to men, women and'children, as being deplorable, unnecessary and wasteful. It seeks mem berships, cooperation and contacts to insure that its services may-provide 3br instru mentalities and fmances to accomplish this objective. < '"Through education it seeks to demonstrate that the Safe way is the right way and tiie best way, from the standpoint not only of human-satisfaction but of social efficiency_apd^economy. It seeks those ways and means, for safety that satisfactorily fit into the"> practical 'affairs of life. - .~ "Its financial policy is to return in service all moneys received, so 0 operating without profit, and to undertake only those activities^ which can be assured of rea- rsonable permanence. Much of its administrative personnel consists of. volunteer workers. ' C "The National Safety Coundl holds ^itself open to give fullest and mqst cordial cooperation to all individuals, industries,; organizations, communities, states and tia- . tions that are in accord; with -the principles and objectives of the organization, and tiie National Safety Council likewise asks and seeks cooperation from all these in carrying out its purposes." - -- , -.0 s --D
