Achieving Safety.

The six year campaign for a 35 per cent, reduction in the number of accidents throughout the various railway systems of the United States, launched in 1924, by the safety section of the American Railway Association is achieving gratifying results. Since the commencement of the safety drive no less than twenty-eight Class 1 railways have succeeded in recording the reduction aimed at, and in some instances even better results have been attained. It is a striking proof of the value of co-operation for a common purpose. With such evidence before us it is plain that accidents throughout our own system could be reduced if we would resolutely apply ourselves to the task.
