Resolved, That we appreciate the efforts now being made by manufacturers of machinery for use in industrial plants to so far safeguard their machines as to minimize the danger of personal injury to workers; and that as manufacturers and individuals interested in accident prevention we recognize the difficulty, and in some cases even impossibility, on the part of purchasers of individual machines to properly attach safeguards; and realize that the original manufacturers of the machines by reason of their wide experience and efficient engineers, are better able to develop and provide proper safeguards for all machinery; and that it is the sense of this meeting that any efforts along this line are highly commendable and will be appreciated by all interested in the Conservation of human life.
Resolved, further; That a copy of this resolution be sent by the President to every machine manufacturer with a request for his co-operation.
