_Many Examples of the Loyalty of Executives for
their Men in Danger_

This double loyalty--to the chief and to
the organization--is not a plant of slow
growth. Few mine accidents or industrial
disasters occur without bringing to merited,
but fleeting, fame some heroic superintendent
or lesser boss who has risked his own life to
save his men or preserve the company's
property. The same sense of responsibility
extends to every grade. Give a man the
least touch of authority and he seems to take
on added moral stature. The engineer who
clings to his throttle with collision imminent
has his counterparts in the ``handy man''


who braves injury to slip a belt and save
another workman or a costly machine, and in
the elevator conductor who drives his car up
and down through flames and smoke to rescue
his fellows. Such efficiency and organization
spirit is the result of individual growth as well
as the impression of the employer's personality
upon his machine.
