Show Union Pacific Wins Safety Award NEW YORK CITY, June 10 For the sixth time in 12 years, the Union Pacific Railroad company today to-day received the E. H. Harriman gold medal for safety awarded by the American Museum of Safety. The medal is presented annually to the Class I railroad of the United States with the best record for safe operation during the preceding year. President Arthur Williams of the American Museum of Safety made the presentation at a luncheon at the Hotel Commodore today. Union Pacific previously received-the received-the safety award in 1924, 1925, 1927, 1928 and 1933. Though first in rank of all Class I railroads in 1926, in 1929 and again in 1934, the Union Pacific, under the Museum's rules, was not eligible for competition in those years. In addition to its record of six medals in 12 years from the American Amer-ican Museum of Safety, the Union Pacific was accorded first place for the years from 1923 to 1927 and in 1929, 1931 and 1935 by the National Safety Council. Every year one or more of the companies of the Union Pacific has received first rank in the safety council's classification. |
