TM3TIC CCMKEniB BSECKT In Chatman Vi liner's absence, J.M. Barnhart read the Conwrittce Report as follows: "This has been a frustrating year for the Traffic Coadttee. The general trend has been to Increase freight rates, both rail and truth, and with light density comodlties there is not too much defense thst ean be offered to forestall increases. In January the Rational Truck Classification Board propoaed the eanof sort insulating material item and instead proposed ratings based on density. The proposal follows: . Leas than 3 pounds per cubic foot Mia. Vt. tSL Tft Factor 300 85 10.2 3 pounds but less than 6 pounds per cubic foot 200 77-1/2 12.2 6 pounds but less than 9 pounds per eUbie foot . *25 9 pounds but less than 12 pounds per cubic foot 100 65 60 15.2 18.2 12 pounds but less than 13 pounds per cUbic feet 85 55 22*2 13 pounds or over per cubic foot 70 We had a Traffic Ccmdttee meeting to discuss this and determined ve required industry figures which were very eeo^eteatly enlisted by pur &c- estlva Secretary, Mr. Barthirt, and we thank hia for hia help. A htT^"c was ia Washington on this subject and ve feel that ve have defeated the density program, however ve did not ecne out unscathed be cause I believe ve must assuae that vhere ve ere sot paying $1.25 par IDO I*TM"** ve will in the near future be paying $2.00 per 100 pounds on lass than truekload shipmate. is a rather substantial increase on a lot of products, ve feel that ve have kept the increase to a very minima. Shortly after ttia the trucklines filed e proposal to publish density ratings on any product velghlng lass then six pounds per cubic foot as fol lows: THIS DOCUMENT WAS NOT A RECORD OF PPG INDUSTRIES, INC.

One of our competitors describes his mineral wool cement as high temperature bonding mortar. Sis cement Is no different than ours, however, he advertises, invoices, describes it on the bill of lading and marks his packages as high tecperature bending mortar, for this reason he has been able to get away with what is considered a very improper practice. All of us could do the same thing, however, ve all realise that adneral wool eerent is mineral wool cement and not high temperature bonding sorter, fine of our non-member eorpetitort has filed several proposals requesting reduced rates on mineral wool cement with weights of 70,000 and 100,000 pounds which are not practical weights for our type business. The rates also art than those on high temperature bonding mortar. Vhile your meeting is in session I will be in San Pranciaco at which time I will dis cuss this matter with the traffle executives of the Southern Pacific, Santa Pe, Western Pacific and Union Pacific Sailroads. Z will impart to then that while a reduction is welcome this is not the end of ear fight to haw parity with high te^erature bonding mortar In every instance. This could result la one of three things, either ve vould get high temperature sorter rates co mineral wool cement, or the carriers vould turn dewn our proposal or start an lswstigatlcn to eorreet the situation whieb is now practiced by several of our eaq>etitora. There is another alternative. I believe ve could force the discon tinuance of the use of high te^eratuxe bonding mortar as a description If we vent to the Interstate Ccanerce Commission In a formal procedure. Stis would require, however, thousands of dollars of time, the requirement of ex pert witnesses to insulation industry, and probably $50,CC0 In legal fees In order to aecocylish this objective.

An outline of the subjects to he presented include: 1) Environment and health; 2) Vortaen's compensation and legal liability; 3} Insurance at present* * She Coadttee is developing the detailed data on these subjects to be pretested.

KLLiAIT SICKlFICAJg KTEUCATTOKS Parallel information in two recent scientific papers indicate what may in prove to be a significant breakthrough in both the understanding of pathological conditions now attributed to the inhalation of asbestos dust and also the prevention of these effects. Suanarles of these articles are attached. One is by J. Cralley, et al., entitled "Exposure to Metals in Manufacture of Asbestos Textile Products" and the other by Fanl Gross, M.D., et al., entitled "Experimental Asbestosls." Both pipers allude to the sig nificance of airborne levels of nickel and other metals which are tenon or suspected carcinogens associated with asbestos dust inhalation.
