RETORT OP THS PRESIDENT The president referred to the report* of the aecretary- treasurer stating that these reports outlined the activi ties of the Association during the year quit* fully. Be called attention to the fact that the dues had been re duced during the year, an action which was no doubt wel- eoeie to all Berbers but he pointed out, however, that such reduction of dues did not and does not mean a cur tailment in the activities of the Association or In its services to the members. All the work will be carried on as usual. .. The president referred to discussions had at the meeting of the directors with respect to research work seeking new uses for lead aa veil as protecting and extending present outlets for the metal. He pointed out that repre sentatives of the research departments of the various or ganisation members of the Association would meet infor mally before the close of the meeting to discuss the prob lem in an endeavor to formulate plans for the carrying out of cuch work. MVMK.UI HU "SPiWf lf'S!jlWWg U.IH imurf iDW'.y.wnigiwi^' LlA2087<3 Annual Meeting Minutes - i> - April 22, 1954 Tha President called attention to the Meeting next year to be held In Chicago aa a Joint Meeting with the Zinc Institute.

This also sy be e fitting tlaa to reflect on the experience gained In the past and to contemplate how that experience ay be put to best use In the future. Performance of the lead market since the war has desenstrated that the world ay have a productive capacity for lead beyond its ability to consume without stockpiling. Is the industry taking full advantage of this situation to expand the a&rketa for lead and its products? For say years the Association has conducted Bodest programs to increase the use of certain lead products, particularly in paint, Flushing and chemical construction. Some of this work has Bet with notable success. But has it been enough? The new use of lead compounds In porcelain enamels for aluminum indicates a possible field, the ceraaie industry, in which greater effort might bring broader markets for lead products. Orewth of the nuclear field and Intensive efforts of com petitive shielding material manufactures to displace lead in all kinds of radiation protection my offer another area for greater efforts.

Borclna* Mrs* Alice kyer and kiss Hslene Karbach have completed twenty or more years of serrloe, with your Secretary baring completed twenty-five years last month. The lsast that can be eald is that thera has rarely been a dull accent. And no report would be complete with out a word about the cooperative aplrlt of the membership and thiuJcs to tbs officers and directors for the time and wisdom they hare contributed to the guidance of asscciatlcn affairs* kaegtSHIP There were several changes In membership during the year* mostly occasioned by changes in ownership of companies or plants. Kew members Included The Mardock Lead Products Co.* Dallas* Texas, and The C. A. Avrll Co** Cincinnati, Ohio, which acquired the plants formerly operated by the Eagle - Plcher Co. In those cities. Allied Smelting Corp. of Milwaukee also became a member. Park Utah Consolidated Mines Co. and Silver King Coalition Mines Co,* both of Salt lake City* and both formerly members* were merged into United Park City Mines Co.* wnich became a member. Chief Consolidated Mining Co. resigned because of the depressed lead market and the need to conserve its resources. Federal Mining k Smelting Co* was completely absorbed by Amoriean Smelting k Refining Co. and its separata membership was thus discontinued. The membership now consists of 62 regular and 7 associate members. MISCtLLf N5DU3 SERVICES This section of the secretary's report is placed near tha begin ning instead of being relegated to a catch-all at the end* because it it believed that its importance in consumption of staff time, value to tha industry* and saving and service to members may be underestimated. Ry correspondence* telephone and personal visit the Association is literally deluged dally with requests for help in connection with lead* These eome from newspapers, magatlnss and authors of books who want to verify facts or get additional information for articles dealing with lead* They come from schools* colleges and industrial or trade groups who want educational or ether information for their students or members* They come from govern ment agencies who want both economic and technical assistance* and from banks, brokers and advertising agencies* And many come from our members on both technical and economic problems.

A leading business publication tai a leading tied* paper asked for information on lead-acid and nickel-cadmium batterlea for use in articles on tha subject. 5. The Department of the Any asked for complete data on non sparking lead floors for explosives plants to be Included is a manual# 6# Two different architects and one member asked for data os lead-asbestos anti-vibration pads for building foundations# ?# The house organ of a large wholesaler of lead products asked for material for e general story os the lead industry. S# A painting contractor asked for specific information on the relative merits of different metal-protective paints. 9# A member asked for assistance in reconciling the various statistics available on lead consumption and production* 10# A misleading error about the trend of lead price* was de tected in a leading business magazine and corrected# These are but ten moager examples, received within a period of a few days# of the inquiries which occupy a vast amount of staff time from day to day. Without the Association, either such inquiries in nary cases would go unanswered to the detriment of the use of lead or the tin* of member companies, duplicated mary times, mould be consumed in answering them. Statistics No change was made in the statistical services of the Association during the year. We have continued to cooperate with other statistic gather ing agencies, such as the American Bureau of Metal Statistics and the 0. 3# Buroau of Mines to avcid explication and to try to iron out inconsistancles that appear in the various sorles of figures. The secret-ary again prepared the introductory suninary to the load section of the A.E.M.S. Tearbook. Mary requests from both members ar.d non-members for aojistoneo in statistical studies of the lead industries were handled during the year, A request by the U# 3. Tariff Commission to use our prig load sales statistics was granted with the approval of reporting companies# a--mm A^0684 0 0 0 Annual Meeting -It - April 22-23* ISA An analysis of our statistical work indicated that only about 87 man-hours of staff tins per month were involved in the production of routine statistics. Annual Meeting To celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary ef the Association, it departed froo customary procedure and held the annual meeting at The Oreenbrler, White Sulphur Springs, W, Va., Including the ladles in the social affairs. Total attendance was abeut US, two-thirds being miu Business sessions were patterned after previous meetings end covered oo- prehensively the production end consumption problems of the industry. Members generally agreed that the meeting was highly successful and fit tingly marked the occasion. LO.OIMQ AMD PtCICAOINO The sub-eosmlttee dealing with this problem met during the As sociation's annual meeting and considered several suggestions for re designed lead pigs. Subsequently individual members experimented in the field with some of these designs. At the year-end this work was still in progress and no ultimate solution had as yet been found. Bulletins and Publications Although published in 1952, the Association's book, "Lead in Modern Industry," Continues to enjoy an active demand. The original print order was 7,500 copies. Of these, about 60C complimentary copies have been provided members and good friends of the Association and about 3,000 have beon sold at (1,50 for individual copies and $1.00 for quanti ties of ten or more, something less than actual cost. Illustrative cf the continued demand is the fact that about 1,300 copies were sold in 1953. Only two issues of "Lead" were again published in 1953 as in 1952. These went to about 35,000 users and prospective users of lead such as architects, engineers, contraction companies, chealeal concerns, sheet motal contractors, city engineers and others. It continues to create wide interest in lead and publication of each issue is followed by voluminous correspondence with readers. Eight Information Bulletins and three Defenso Bulletins were circulated to members during the year. Publications ef the Divisions are not mentioned here but are included under the report on each Division, Articles and Addresses ' The secretary again prepared the annual review article on lead for "Engineering and Mining Journal," w  WWISP LI A20885 Annual Meeting -5 " April 22-23, 195L An article about the Association and It* service was written for and published in tha Buyer's PurehaaIns Dlgt, at tha request of that pub lication. Tha aacratary addressed tha annual Matins of tha Idaho Mining Association on tha invitation of that organisation. Other articles and addresses are oorarad under divisional acti vities. OOVERMO-NT REIATIOKS As government controls were removed from lead our contacts with Washington agencies shifted more and more from tha emergency to permanent agencies. Regular liaison is maintained with all those agencies which are usere, potential users or specifiers of lead or have anything to do with lead in research or in any other way. This includes most Federal government departments and agencies. The secretary serves on several com mittees, such as (l) Industry or Government Advisory Committee on Schedule B Revision, Bureau of Census; and (2) the Advisory Council on Federal Re ports, Standard Industrial Classification Code, Committees an Primary Metal Industries and on Mining. Miscellaneous Meeting! The Association was represented by invitation at the Mid-Century Conference on Resources for the Future- sponsored by the Ford Foundation. The President of the Association, a member of tha Executive Committee, and the secretary represented the Association. Other meetings attended and organisations with which close liai son is maintained include the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgi cal Engineers, American Society for Metals, American Mining Congress, As sociation of American Battery Manufacturers, Rational Paint, Tarnish and lacquer Association, American Ceramic Society, American Society for Test ing Materials, National Association of Corrosion Engineers, American Stan dards Asscciatlon and others. The secretary and staff are active in com mittee work of many of these organisations in the Interests of lead. HTQmE The following is s summary of our principal activities in tha field of lead hygiene In 1953. The importance of this work is tremendous In preventing undue discrimination against lead. 1. Childhood lead poisoning continues to be our major "headache* and source of adverse publicity. Threats of poison labeling regulations for lead paints have come from health authorities in New Tork, Chicago and seme other cities. We are working with the Faint Association to combat these moves with the outcome promising, but still in doubt. 2, The research on childhood plumblsa at Johns-Hopkins, supported our grant of $10,000 ns completed In October and a report is expected aoaentarlljr. The work la being continued for another year at no expense to os. HWW.IJW*, .4"Mil OP w nwpi fail"mtm ^iiwaii- /TiwwiYr'' ati mr *a. LIa20886 Annual Meeting -6- April 22-23, l?51t 3.

Metallic Load Products Division A ropert of this Division's octivitloe was sent to ambers of the Division on Hovoeber 10, 1953. Tho following sumarlsos these acti vities! 1. Our two field non coneontratod on thoso areas whero corvcortod offorts wore being stado to proaoto other materials at the exponse of load. In acst easos substitution of other materials for lead was forestalled. 2. With the cooperation of membors in supplying materials for plumbing classes at low cost, our program to promoto the training of plumbers in load work proceeded satisfactorily. In this wo also had closo cooperation from tho Buronu of Apprenticeship, D. 3. Department of Labor. 3. With the first printing of 3,000 copios of our textbook, Lead Work for Modern Plumbing,* sold in less than five months, a second printing of 3,000 copios was authorixod and printed. All indications are that tho socorri printing will bo exhausted before the end of this year and that wo will haro dorivod the bonofit of about $8,000 worth of oducationol literature for a not coat of about $2,000. 1*. Plumbers' 7orum was a valuable moans of reaching 30,000 in tho plumbing Industry, but was published only twleo during the year. 5. Our exhibit of load wiping at tho annual convontlon of the Rational Association of Plumbing Contractors created unusual interest with groups of 2C to 25 delegates at a tlmo watching their colleagues try their skill. 6. Humorous requests from architects and engineers for assistone, on plans for chjnical laboratory piping Installations lod to preparation of a preliminary draft of specifications for such installations. This draft has beon subnittod to interested members for comment and it is ex pected that the specifications con bo published shortly. 7.

Three Chemical Bulletina on the uao of load in cboadcal construction wero issued for the uao of members. 15. To Chemical Construction Fullotlns on tho use of lead in this field wero distributed to our list of about 1,300 colleges teaching chemical engineering, chemical construction coopAnios, ctwwlcal manufacturers, consultants and others interested. 15. Two articles prepared by a staff mamber on lead in chemi cal constriction wero published in 'Chemical Engineering* and another in "Industrial and Engineering Chemistry.* Reprints were obtained and distributed. 17. Possibilities of a tool dovolopcd by Remington Arms Co. for reducing the cost of load chemical instailsti"ns wore reoognised and a joint testing program undertaken. Thu tosts were highly successful and an article has slr.eo been published in "Chemical Engineering" describ ing the use of the tool in actual installations. 18. Because of the growing importance of radiation protection much tine was spent on gatherirg material on tho possibilities and use ef lead for this purpose and articles ore in preparation for suitable publications. 19. Tor the fourth year, a two-hour lecture on lead as an ergineerirg material was presented to graduate studonts at the Newark College cf Engineering. 20. liaison was maintained with all principal technical so cieties and a staff member was vice-chairman f the Northeast Region cf the National Association of Corrosion Engineers. 21. A tentative standard fer load ripe for chemical service was prepared ei the result of a number of Inquiries from largo users for such a standard. It was circulated to members for crnt but no action has been taken. wwv "w-s t* m II i. LIA20889 >,rv h iim^iiiitoi~~iiiiim Annual Mooting 9 - April 22-23, 1$& Plgmor.ts and Chomlcals Division 1.
