conservation engineer, The Equitable Life Assurance Society, New York City, who
welcomed the delegates in the name of the Executive Committee of the National Safety

Council, and then introduced Paul A. Wright, American Airways, Inc., Chicago, who
presided. Chairman W right briefly outlined the program prepared for the meeting
nd then introduced the first speaker.
Safety in Air Transport
By W . A. PA T T E R SO N
President, United Air Lines, Chicago
i.T h e speaker said in p a rt: The new dependability and expansion of air transporta tion has come simultaneously with added dependability of flight. Safety in the air
come from a background of experience, plus improved airplanes and engines, new nd important scientific aids to aerial navigation, improved servicing plants, extensive round facilities and a firm attitude of responsible air lines that safety first must be he controlling factor at all times. Ju Let me, for example, describe one of the new Boeing all-metal multi-motored mono planes, which have a top speed of 182 miles an hour and cruise 171 miles an hour,
land at the low speed of 58 miles an hour, because the designers gave them a v-wmg loading. They are powered with two 550 horse-power supercharged wasp otors, and should one motor cut out or lose its full power, this airplane can main?in its altitude on one motor and continue its flight as long as the gasoline holds out.

The New Deal in Safety
By J. R U SSE L L CRAIG
Safety Director, Pennsylvania Indemnity Corporations, Philadelphia, Pa.
The speaker said in p a rt: The executive of today who makes accident prevention of secondary concern is short-sighted and narrow in his entire business outlook because it plays a very important part in the yearly profit and loss statement. One safety director, in preparing a report for his chief, showed in 1932 the frequency rate and severity rate of his company in comparison with five competitors. This was excellent but he did not go far enough. H e should have, in addition, placed beside these the estimated difference in dollars and cents. One company, which had an outside safety personnel, made a review of its accidents and costs before organizing a safety de partment, and was amazed to find in this new interpretation of their annual state ments that if the accident costs had not existed, their annual statement instead of showing a net loss would have shown a net profit.
Right here is a good time to bring up the question of so-called accident-prone employees. In reality, a company should have no such group as those called accident prone employees. If it does, then it is managerial fault rather than the fault of the men. Physical examinations help to place a man in a position which will be a stepping stone to a higher job and create in the organization a booster for the company. In a very definite respect, the Westinghouse and Electric Manufacturing Company has had the new deal in safety because of such planning. Examinations and executive participation have resulted in the hiring of over 3,000 employees who have been with the company for 20 to 50 years.
In a real sense "The New Deal in Industry" means more men working fewer hours. Efficiency throughout the entire organization is necessary because waste is not only prohibited but must not occur, as the margin of profit cannot carry it, which means waste is evaluated higher than heretofore. Accidents cause waste. Im proper hiring causes potential waste because of costly training. Improper training or lack of training causes waste. Any training whether organized in classroom style

Emergency First Aid
By DR. H. W. GENTLES Chairman, First Aid Life Saving, Chicago Chapter, American Red Cross The speaker said in part: The first picture that comes to my mind is made up of a series of accidents, men crushed, bones broken, bad bleeding and all of evidently serious nature from the start. On the other hand, in this city a few weeks ago a tailor pricked himself with a needle and a few days later died from lockjaw. One of our largest employers of labor in this community had no fatalities in the running of his plant, but one of the girls in his office suffered a slight abrasion on her finger and died of blood poisoning.
