F. KAISER quantities The center of this area is Madison considered by many to be the finest small city in the country Madison didn't just happen it was built for a capital city according to a plan developed before any building was located on the site Even Longfellow put the place into verse in his Four Lakes at Madison This section was a natural field for EMPLOYERS MUTUALS from the beginning and a volume of business was developed which resulted in the establishment of the and Madison branch in March of 1929. The office was origi- nally located in the First Central building but was moved in 1932 to the present excellent quarters in the new modern Tenney building Brose Winegar was in charge View of Madison Office until his death in 1932 when management duties were taken over by Hank Kaiser who incidentally is in his 17th year of able service for the organization He is a graduate of the home office sales department and went to Madison via a splendid sales record in Wausau territory Sixteen people constitute a complete sales engineering payroll audit and index claim organization This territory located as it is on the edge of the Milwaukee industrial area will grow and will continue as an important unit of our organization lation had reduced the concentration about half but was still much too high Due to the nature of these grind ing operations they are extremely difficult to ventilate They then obtained some information from Detroit manufacturers and found that lead poisoning had also de- veloped there As a result they decided to discontinue disc grinding of soldered seams and substitute hand filing operations I was again called to make tests on April 18 1935 and found that due to the change in opera- tions the lead concentration had been reduced to 0.49 milligrams a figure well below the permissable limit of 3 milligrams I was told that due to this reduction in concentration the men no longer showed evidence of lead absorption as determined by periodic medical examina- tions They are well satisfied with our services in aiding them to solve this problem G.EMeiter .

Higginson Second Silicosis Symposium Symposium Symposium Silicosis The second conducted as part of the Trudeau School of Tuberculosis was held at Saranac Lake New York June 3rd to 7th 1935 1935 General Claim Manager Kuechle reports his conclusions from the conference to be the following That silicosis if not complicated by infection is not disabling even in an advanced stage that where there is disability without apparent infection it is probable that time will show infection usually tuberculosis to be existent that tuberculosis is not nearly so frequently the end re- sult in advanced silicosis as was formerly supposed that those who have tuberculosis complicated by silicosis re- act just as other tuberculosis patients do - their chances of becoming arrested cases are equally as good that there is no reason to assume that a person having silicosis even in an advanced stage suffers any heart complica- tion or any degenerative process of the cardiovascular that silicosis does not predispose the develop- system ment of cancer of the lung COVERAGE . .
