Q
THE. C. & O. RAILWAY
VETERANS EMPLOYES'
ASSOCIATION:
Part I of 4 parts.
During the early years of rail-
roading, serious injuries and fatal
accidents were common occurances
in the industry. Shortly after the
turn of the century, U. S. railroads
began to take steps to reduce man
hours lost because of personal in-
jury. One of the first to take action
was the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail-
way Company when it inaugurated
the =Safety FlrsCmovementin 1912.
President George W. Stevens of the
C. & O. appointed Assistant to Presi-
dent E. W. Grice to head the pro-
gram.
Mr. Grice appointed Lyle G.
Bentley to the position of General
Safety Agent with headquarters in
Richmond, Vs., who, over the years,
contributed more to the Veteran
Employes' Association than anyone
else. In the beginning of the safety
movement, committees were estab-
lished at Newport News & Norfolk
Terminal; Richmond, Clifton Forge,
Hinton, Huntington-Big Sandy and
Ashland-Cincinnati Divisions; Cin-
cinnati Terminal and C. & O. Rail-
way of Indiana with the superinten-
dents of each territory chairman who
appointed members of the commit-
tee from employes working within
his area. At their monthly meetings,
hazadorous conditions and danger-
ous practices were discusssed and
corrective measures taken resulting
in an immediate reduction in acci-
dents.
In 1889, M. E. Ingalls, who was
then president of the C&O, per-
suaded George Walter Stevens to
leave the Big Four Railroad and join
him on the C. & O. as general man-
ager. No doubt it was one of the most
important appointments ever made
on the C&O. Mr. Stevens became
President of the C&O in 1899 and it
was during the time he was general
manager and president C&O grew
to a prominent and financially sound
institution. He was very fond of the
=Old White' at White Sulphur
Springs, W.Va., and purchased it
outright for the C. & O. in 1910,
something former President Ingalls
tried to do but failed. Most of his
summers were spent there until his
death from a stroke suffered on the
porch of his cottage at White Sulphur
Springs, Nov. 3, 1920.
When Mr. Stevens came to the
C&O it was just recovering from
bankruptsy. Working closely with
his fellowmen, the C&O gradually
but surely became a financial suc-
cess.
ARer becoming president, Mr.
Stevens would, on June 29th., annu-
ally invite officers of the C&O and
personal friends to his home, =Vir-
ginia Manor, on James River, to a
celebration of his birthday. Possibly,
because of these pleasant affairs,
the thought came to him how nice it
would be if employees were afforded
a get together to become better ac-
quainted securing greater loyalty to
one another as well as to the railway
company.
Saturday, June 30,1917, the next
day after Mr. Steven's sixty.sixth
birthday celebration at "Virginia
Manor, 163 of 253 charter members
of the Veteran's Association gath-
ered at the Greenbrier Hotel, White
Sulphur Springs, W.Va., where the
first annual meeting was held and
The Chesapeake & Ohio Veteran
Employes' Association was organ-
ized. Officers elected were: E. W.
Grice, President; W. T. Crawford,
Vice President; M. T. Spicer, Secre-
tary; Lyle G. Bentley, Assistant
Secretary and J. A. Hancock, Treas-
urer. A Constitution and By Laws
was implemented of which Section 1
Article 3 provided, =Any person

pany and its predecessor companies

Dues were established at $1.00 per
annum payable in January.
It will be noted at this first annual
meeting there were only two lady
employes present, Mrs. E. H.
Marable, telegraph operator at MX"
Cabin, Hinton, and Mrs. E. H. Mead-
ows, Agent-Telegraph Operator,
Beckley, thus, inclusion of the
employe's spouse came later.
The railroad careers of Mr. Grice
and Mr. Bentley were interesting,
both of which were remembered with
great respect by twenty-five year
veterans who learned to know them
quite well as also they did, in later
years, C&O President Walter J.
Tuohy. Mr. Grice began his railroad
career in 1880 as a telegraph opera-
tor on the Wabash, St. Louis and
Pacific Railway; at the age of 18. In
1882 he transferred to clerk in the
& St. Louis Railroad; 1888 to 1889
Chief Train Dispatcher on the Pitts-
burg & Western Railroad which road
later became a part of the B&O and
presently a part of CSXT; 1890 to
1898 Chief Train Dispatcher, C&O;
1898 to 1901 Trainmaster C&O; Jan.
1, 1901 to July 1, 1903, Superinten-
dent, Clifton Forge Division at
Clifton Forge; 1903 to 1906 Superin-
tendent at Hinton; 1906 to 1910
General Superintendent of the
Huntington Division with headquar-
ters at Hinton. The Huntington
Division extended east to Clifton
Forge in those days. 1910 to 1912
General Manager; 1912 to 1916
Assistant Vice President in charge
of Safety and beginning in 1916
Assistant to the President.
Mr. Lyle Bentley started his ca-
reer with the C&O in 1896 and re-
tired in 1947 as General Safety
Agent. He probably did more than
any single person to bring the C&O
employes to a close working unit.

Medicine Transfer
Through Breast Milk
Researchers hav¢ 'found ,that
many ndi6i9 # have the potential
to be transferred from a nursing
mother to her infant. Whether or
not the transferred drug could
cause harm to the breast-fed in-
fant is not always known. The
ability of a drug to be passed to an
infant from its mother during
breast-feeding is based on several
factors. One of the most important
factors is the size of the drug mol-
ecule. Drugs that have very small
molecules tend to pass easier, as
do drugs that are not attached to
proteins or those that are highly
soluble in fat.
Guidelines for determining the
risk of prescribing certain drugs to
nursing mothers are included in a
recent issue of Drug Topics. Pre-
scribers should first consider the
safety of the drug in a full-term
infant. If the mother needs the
medicine and the risk appears to
be minimal, prescribers should
consider prescribing medicines
that are short-acting. Sustained-
release forms may expose the child
to prolonged levels of the drug.
And mothers should take medi-
cines at times that allow the least
drug exposure to the infant.
As a rule, the best time for
mothers to take medicines is im-
mediately after breast feedings.
Parents should be alert for unusual
signs or symptoms such as a
change in feeding or sleeping pat-
terns, fussiness, or rash.
