Slip

On Monday, March 21, a worker in the big Remington Typewriter Co. plant at Syracuse, N. Y. stepped on a match. His foot slid along with it and he lost his balance. Down he went. As he sat on the floor moaning and clutching a fractured kneecap he was probably not at all aware that his slip had broken something else as well--the factory's long no-accident record which had begun July 25, 1929 and run for 795 working days. "It is the greatest individual factory safety record in the history of the civilized world," cried Frank E. Redmond, director of the educational bureau of the Associated Industries of N. Y., when he heard of it. Many factories entered the A. I. of N. Y.'s non- accident campaign in 1929, long ago all but Remington were eliminated.
