White lead in oil is sold by weight - peint is sold by rolune. S. White leed in oil is a product designed especially for the professional painter, whereas reedy nixed paints are designed for universal application by any ace desiring to peint. 4, Kilts lead in oil is essentially a seni-finiahed naterial fro* which paint *ay be made. Paint is a finished product and nay contain white leed, end/or a Multitude of other solid Materials, often unknown to the consumer, Pereas white lead in oil contains only one pigment - Aite leed. This distin guishing characteristic has an important bearing on the dealer*s ability to sell both peoducts, as explained later* In substantiation of our contention that dry white lead and lead-in-oil deserve separate consideration by the fl*B*A*, apart fro* the Paint Code, we would like to call attention to the fact that the Treasury Department has long treated dry shite leed and lead-in-oil as ooanodities distinct fro* paint* In the`Tariff let of 1950, and in preceding Tariff eats, white leed and the leed pig naats have been given tariff rates separate teo* those of peint.* It is just as logical to include shite leed in the Paint Cods as it would be to group brass pipe, galvtnised iron pipe and other pipe naterlals Paragraphs 65 and 66 of the lot of 1980,refers to peint, whereas paragraph 72 refers to Letd-in-oil paints* 0000-NLI-000020429 under one code, calling it a Pip* Cod*) or to group copper wire, alunlnua *ir* and gain nizad iron wire under a Wire Code, or to group sheet copper, galvanised sheet iron and sheet tin under a Sheet Betel Code, We do not be lieve it sea the intent of the let to group industries producing inherently different products under one code, just because they ha open to conpete for the sane type of business. It is noticeable that coal and oil wars not plaoed aider one ftoal code. Linseed oil, an iaportant oonponent in eoat paints, has a coda of its own. If the shit* load industry vara to function under the feint and famish Coda, it would be subject to the donlnance of an industry which has ulntya followed a path separated froa that of white laed eorrodars, with uhioh it baa been in competition since the inception of the aixad print industry and with which there is s clash lug of interest. The inevitable re.ult ia tha drafting of a Paint and Varnish Coda of oaupetltion which inter feres with the norwal dewwlopaunt of white load sales through natural channels. White lead is the scat iaportant outlet today for tha laed aining industry in tha Baited Status aad pronlses to be so until there is a distinct revival in tha capital goods industries. There is, therefore, deep oooeem on the part of the lead aiulng oonpenias over any situation, affaetiag the aajor outlet fbr natal. If gules and regulations were to bo established, which, in any way dauag* or hanpar tha whita laad industry la tha sal# of tha product, tha result would bo refloated In the snploynant given to the load ninsrs In tha Waited States aad in the dovolopnent of ooo of our grootost natural rosouroao. Tha whita laod-in-ail industry in tha fcHat *tsts oan not afford to plaoo its laallsj In the hands of nonsfaotnrers akftag a diffarwnt produet, and nuat bo given leeeey to work out lagitlnatoly 0000-NLI-000020430 its fUturs in a Banner best suited to the intensive cultivation of i market. lkilte lead is a well known product and is so widely sold that it nay be ooapared in soae respects to a staple, such as sugar and other products handled in every grocery store. Without restrictions of any sort, it has been aarketed for years through all Jobbers and dealers who desire to sell it, whereas reedy nixed paints are Bold almost entirely on exclusive agency terns. With such agencies, the par? ctioe is common of paying e rebate at the and of a year to dealers who concentrate on one annufseturar's line and attain a predetermined volume of purchases. This practice tends to erect an artificial barrier to the natural flow of commerce end frequently obstructs the sale of lead in oil. The intimate connection between white lead manufacturing and lead mining, smelting end refining is shown by the feet thst many white let d plants are built alongside lead smelters in the United States and operate under labor con ditions which apply to several brtnches of the lead industry. Chicago, Perth iaboy and Joplin are soae of the points where this condition exists. The white leed industry represents an important section of the Lead Industries Association which, as shown above, is fully representative of the mining, smelting and fabricating of lead end its products. In the production of lead-in-oil, s product of which dry white leed is the principal oomponent, it represent* well up to 100$. Because there has always been e distinct cleavage in the conduct and operation of the paint and vanish industry and the white lead industry, each occupying * field distinctly competitive with the other, the white lead industry has mot participated in the preparation of, or in any manner endorsed the Paint Cede. We are convinced that not only will tho interest of white lead and the lead industry as a #xol be beat served by a continuation of this separation 0000-NLI-000020431 f auaodation, bat also that no injury mill bo done to tbo paint industry, Such oantlnuatlaa is mars! j s prolongation of oadsting competitive oooditions, to uhiah all si imts in both Industrie# here long since boon habitustod. It is only fcy permitting the shite lend industry fall latitude through its oen organisation and association to determine its o*n com petitive rales end regulations under the fteoovery let, that a heelthy end vigorous Alta load industry, prepared to assuse its rols la the employment of iaerloan labor, ia aasured. 0000-NLI-000020432 1* n VainIf af tt Vkita LmA4i Oil tarMtmn af UM IUIm, lit ImI IateatrlM Iu mUUm Udm to rwwl lit fin if^ilUn to tin inhsla rf *to InilifOll la tin Petit toto al nyttfdly HMti tin fillnlii tela la teint af It* npidtin. tea Ini Xnfaulrla* ioMUttn, fM la 1IM, nnflMa lte aiaUf, anlt- laf m nnfMtorlai aaajaniaa, tlaaal? tadt tmto n ifidnttn, teat tea, a* ana af it* trim atjnto, tt* vllaalaa sf tea nrkit far late -- laattaaUllr, a aate ntet far taaraaalaf nalaqaaant* tea teto late lateatfy aaaaat laak ta tea yalat lateatry far Inly la *aaa^H*Maf that Vaaaaaa yalat aamfaatoir*ri ara lataraatte yrlanrllj lm aaapiateai yalat ta aatt teair an aaiteat wylrnnto - tin aatonl tenant* aate mar ar ay mat **tei1i late.
