  • VOLUME 2 C ANTON, NORTH C A R O L I N A , 3 V L Y, Regarding Suggestions The Management has been much pleased with the character of many of the suggestions offered by our Employees, and has found a number of them distinctly worth while. The most practical and useful suggestions have come from men who were in daily touch and thoroughly familiar with the conditions about which they write. A few suggestions have been made by Employees unfamiliar with the practical necessities of the situation, possibly in reference to departments which they visited j only occasionally It is from i this class that many of the un- S successful suggestions come. Even these suggestions are grat- | ifying to the Management, how- ; ever, as they furnish evidence of j a desire to work with us on some < of these problems with which j we are daily struggling. In some other mills ithas been argued that the suggestion sys-j tem has a tendency to undermine j the authority of mill superinten- teats, as intimating that the , superintendent did not know all about his department that he should, and further, on the theo- ' rv that all plans and all details J thereof, should originate with tie superintendent. In our organization we know ! that to be open minded and will- ! tag to accept a suggestion of j . Ine, -.,■■> matter what the source, i an evidence of lack of j knowledge or of incompetency; j rather do we consider a certain ' degree of open mindedness a ; sign of competency and abso- : letely necessary to success. The ! willingness to adopt a suggestion . as to a detail does not mean that the superintendent is without a plan of his own, does not mean l that after a plan has been settled upon, all sorts of deviatio be permitted and does not mean j any letting down of authority ■ A "Safety-First" Signal The accompanying cuts are to illustrate the frightful injuries sustained by R. A, Sma a workman in the Wood Room, Nov. 18th last. The substance of the report made on this accident is as follows: The injured wits a ('on man—the Wood Room was shut down, temporarily, and Smathers with other employees was engaged in cleaning up. The operator of the slab barker had left his machine, and Small was anxious to learn how to run it, picked up a stick of wood and attempted to bark it. The photographs tell the rest: They cannot however express the sympathy which we feel for Mr. Smathers. Our purpose in impressing this on your mind is to emphasize the importance of strict observance of Safety Rules, warning you not to monkey with machiaery or attempt to operate ANY machine until you have been fully instructed, and placed at the work by your foreman. Mr, Smathers is now one of our Safety workers and we heartily thank him for his cooperation with us in the preparation of this article. Won't you accept the lesson that he teaches? or discipline. Ou r |Q] erinten- dents appreciate who has really practical solution man mill problem and sees it ation, whether he '('.! 'a prize or not, ever keener interest in ee a gets more fun out of hi. ork. sees things more f intendent's stands is a better man to is more,rather than to discipline. We intend to le n tl it at rk v mti dl -i.tr- iper- ence R. A. SMATHERS suggestion system and will again award prizes for accepted suggestions on October first. We have, however, decided not to| fix in advance, the number and| value of prizes that will be award-1 ed but will make the awards in j proportion to the originality and I practical value of the suggestions, j In other words if the facts justi-j fy it the committee will be atj liberty to award several One| Hundred Dollar ($100.00) prizes; and a larger number of Fifty i Dollars ($50.00), but at the same1 time, if they feel that no suggestions have been received which of Pi H>, The Use of Goggles in the Wood Room Recently a number of men ir the wood room have made com plaint against the wearing of goggles when operating barkers and chippers. The Superintendent and chairman of the Safety committee have gone very thoroughly into the matter and have reached the conclusion that, for the present at least the use of goggles in this| room shall be continued. The record of aeridents hap- period of seven months previous goggles and .-■■ the following: "Knot flew from the stick he was barking and bruised left eye ball." "Dirt from the stick he was barking lodged in his right eye." The remaining six were similar to the following: "He was trying to unchoke barker and got something in his eye." He was oiling around 'Hog" ' and got something in his eye." "He was cutting a rivet and chip flew into his eye." after OMM.h t the
