Ca*p res granted a leer* of sbseno* starting January 1, 15>`j, to last through the International contest la August. i At the tlsw of th* rentes4., Kr. Csap was offered a penunent position with the United Association as Apprenticeship and Training Coordlr.itor, with renunerstion considerably la excess of acy>.i;^ U.la Association could pay Vs. Since we were unable to assure Kr. Caep of a petition with the 1..I.A. beyond cur current 155b budget, Kr. Caep accepted that position and le no longer in our esploy. Horarer, with th* Qnlted Association he will be doing work of direct benefit to the 1.I.A. in furthering better apprentice training, which constituted part of his work with ue. Ccnreqm T.'jr, we trr* operated la 155b with one field aan on pluablog and water works actvrtt.c*. Another major charge la th* pitching field ha* been th* rapid growth la th* us* of prewiped and K*chine-lped joint* oo lead connections. This apparently has reached its fullest developaent In th* southeastern and Southwestern part* of the United States, In general, thea* joints are being wade by Independent flrws who pureha** th* lead natecial fro lead aaaufacturors and whose business Is sntlrely dorotod to aaklng prewiped joints for tale through the usual channels. A recent eurvey by us Indicates aa absolute alnlaua of 10,000 such pre wiped joints per wonth being sold by juet two coapanles In the southern pert of the United State*, with on* aanufaeturer ueirg about 100 tons of lead pip* sad fittings per year for thl* purpoee and another using to or three tlaea that aootnt. To oar knowledge there are at least ten coapanles no* engaged In thl* work on various *4alee. The advent*g* to ue of the growth In popularity of this product Is that prewlped joints are considerably loss expensive than hand-wiped joints, particularly thoss bend wiped on th. job, the oontrsetor knows his exact coat without a labor variable, end th->y eliminate th* need for s large nuaher of skilled lead workers, Thu* lead plueblng become aor* ooapetltlve with other aaterlsls. !* *'*:--gs ij ..--t- i. ii.,\i j-- --y--s i r--m *?. - wye N 3031.01 LIA09665 _____________ __________.... . . ............. ...... ____________________________________ ____________ ...
