Defalcations Highlight Trust Fund Temptation and Moral Decay

Foolhardy Workmen and the Case for Discharge

The piece argues that reckless behavior by workers in dangerous trades leads to frequent accidents and occasional fatalities. It cites a Woodworking plant accident where a cautious young man was killed by a broken belt and warns against continued risk taking on ladders and pulleys. It contends such foolhardiness should result in dismissal.
