Calif* was set up by Simons Brick Co. in conjunction with the Curtis Publishing Co. Its Purpose was to counteract possible reflections on the clay products industry from an article, "Shakes,'' published in the Saturday Evening Post, in which earthquake damage was referred to in connection with a hollow tile and hr'ck high school of faulty design and eonstruetien. The display demon, Jtrates the "thjkeproofness" of reinforced Groutloek buck masonry at the `me of the 1933 Southern California earthquakes. Setting up this display <n *n engineer's and architects' office building before the article came out '"* an especially well-choscn bit of promotional work. for the time given by the SCPI Labor Committee, composed of George A. Bass, of St. Louis, Mo.: Paul B. Belden. of Canton, Ohio, and Robert H. Gam ble of Jacksonville, Fla., in a compre hensive study and survey of the wage structures maintained in the clay prod uct! industry. Louis A. Gravelle. of the law firm of Sanders. Gravelle. Whit lock and Hnwrey, Washington. D. C., legal counsel of SCPI, was congratu lated on the work he had done in col laboration with John Klingenfeld. head of the Research Section of the Divi sion of Public Contracts. Department of Labor, in assembling the question naire data submitted for examination and consideration. Since the passage of the WalshHealy Act, June 30, 193G, some 200 industries have had the wage provisions of the Act applied to them and it was u case of unusual recognition on the part of a Federal Government agency that SCPI was requested to work out the details of applying the wage pro visions of the Act to the structural clay products industry. SCI'I Works Out Wage Application On May 3, 1938, Mr. Klingenfeld got in touch with the Institute, requesting that a discussion be held. Mr. Gravelle immediately took the matter, under study and held several conferences with Mr. Klingenfeld. Further' action was suspended until after the annual con vention of SCPI, at which time the Labor Committee of the Institute was appointed. On February 23, 1039, the Labor Committee met with L. Metcalfe Walling, Administrator of the Walsh- APKIL. 1940 .11 What's Going On at the Convention HE 42nd Annual Meeting of the American Ceramic Society is on, and it appears to be one Tof the best in years, particularly from the point of view of the structural clay products man. in the technical papers on the program, emphasis is being placed on problems of decided sractical interest to plant men--the papers listed on the following pages indicate this. We urge the clay men in attendance to participate freely in the discussion so that they may get the full benefit from ideas which generate from the technical sessions and hotel corridor confabs. Two general sessions on firing and on toxicology are arousing much enthusiasm. Refractories men will find much of value in the papers of their division. The ladies are not being neglected--their tour of Toronto and Eaton's department store, luncheon at the Old Mill and tea at Eaton's, plus the dinner-dance and the "Night at the Pig and Whistle Tavern" will keep them well entertained. Toronto local committees in charge of arrangements are as follows: Honorary chairmen: A. U. Cote, The Cooksville Co.. Ltd.; Gen. C. H. Mitchell, Univ. of Toronto;. Wilfrid Mavor, Ferro Enamel Corp. Executive committee: Chairman, W. C. McGolpin, National Fireproofing Co.. Ltd.; secretary, Gordon C. Keith; president, Canadian Ceramic Society, H. A. Bevens, Insulation Products, Ltd. Our next issue will carry a complete eye-witness report of all the convention's activities. SCHEDULE OF AMERICAN CERAMIC SOCIETY 42nd ANNUAL MEETING Sunday. April 7 Monday. April 1. Tuesday.
