The Chairman stated that it was in order to elect a board of directors for the ensuing year. Moved and seconded that the Secretary cast one ballot for the outgoing board of directors, who, being eligible, offer themselves for reelection, except that Julius Loeb shall replace C. M. Loeb, retired, as represen tative of the American Metal Co. on the board. Motion carried. The Secretary then outlined the situation relating to the reduction in the tariff on red lead ar.d lit .arge by the Senate an l tne attempted reduction of t..e tariff on T. the other lead pigsanta. Moved and seconded that the Secretary be directed to continue his efforts or. behalf -f the Lead Industries Acrociatlon to havs the existing tariff rates restored. Motion carried. The Secretary outlined a situation relating to a controversy over the antimony tariff between the national Battery Manufacturers Association and tho American Mining Congress. ~ i f t t f > LIA20521 $i ' Uoved, seconded and carried that the Association take r.o official action in the controversy over the antlaony tariff. The CUlriin ar.i Hr. CorniBh expressed tbolr pleasure at the conduct of the Assoc>at ion'e affairs during 1329. The Secretary read the following letter addressed 9 to Hr. J. A. 'McCarthy frcu or.e of hlo customers: The coneunptior. in the United, States cf F.g Lead is quite an ar.oualy for the re .rcn that the total consur.ptior. of rig Lead lc increasing rhile lr. ttar.y directions the~cor.cu.npt ion thereof Is decreasing. To nahe this plain: There Is a great uni etsudlly falling ccr.ca-c* lor. of leal in rur.y directions xalch la offset only ty the lr.cre_e.l ccr. ,, -;.t ` on of lead in tue covering cf wires for electrical purposes. Tr.is Increase la the use of lead in the electrical field sill probably continue for nary ysars. "I'r.lCbfc a <. rc.ccrted ;nvc is raids on behalf the concuc.pt lor. load, the decrease lr. ct~cr fields r.iil . at the rate se ...vc seer, for the pad but at a greatly accelerated one. 4 .i'.' v..*?w . VCVo cons --rile: lead is due to <u-at is hr.owr. ao iZ has CClirii ITlOli*, l.e. the cou- , edition c.r replace-.er.t of cne tutorial ty another, but lr. lead it is not tue re; iuceiv'r.t by or.c uitcriul but cf c.auy auiterlals. "At thu outset, we -. ill not include the ex; erit.entation for the replacer-mt of lead !r. storage batteries. Thile this ie .naiing prtu.-ess, it ic lor Ir.ic-'d, ant it ; notably will be a fe* years at rest before taut will be felt. H u r a "-A.' V V.U2<>522 'v -, s . *7o nano Juat a few of the replacements. Let us lock at the use o' lead ir. plumbing. Here it is being replaced by copper, by trass and t/ tine. This replacement hue gene so far In the plumbing line that cany cities are adopting br-sd u.._ iron pipes for connection to ;..e service mains. Keither one is fitted for the purposo but there is nothing being done by tbe lead Interests to counteract thia trend. "In paints lead la meeting active competition and growing loos through sine and alxtir.us. "Also in solder; reduct Jen in the cor..- uc.pt ion of lead is groxir.g due to electrical welding. "Roller and fc&ll-oeurir.gs take the place of anti friction metals into which lead enters largely. "Ir. filling metal, Einc-alunir.ua mixtures are replac ing lead. In the casting of toys, novelties, orr.uments, elec troliers, etc., sluen motal which runs upward of He'S lead is being replaced by zinc-aluminum ..ixtures. "In many of the above, the .ae of lead is fai tuc bettor practice than these metals tmat have r-pineed it, but :hr ubser.ee of any united front .u.ov ir.g the advantages of lead ever these substitutes has resulted in the con tinued use of less lead. "It is true in a great ncas_re, that tne producers of l?,,d are the producers of tho ot .er metals t..at are used in substitution t..crefor, and tnis probably has cecr. or.o of the things t. -at ..as jrvvcnted a united uni proper exploitation of the benefits of tne use of leal. "The producers of metal a huvo lost eignt of or.t thing, and that is outct;u; ling, that the consumption cf these other metals for leai hue not s..ot.n an Increase in tonnage any*-:.tree equal to tne decrease r f the tor.r.a e com'urpt ion of lead, i,o tu.t the proautera ot ....`tuls f i r j r 1 nt their *-- ire output in t .ar.u, e are not benefiting but are really losing by this new competition. LIA20523 "This little memorandum to thi o&rest outline cf what lc going on, a:.: ib prepared for you at your suggOFtion so that ycu may consider whether you want to go deeply int.* the question or rot. It lc the writer's hur.ole opinion that if there ever wac a chance for an Institute in any line to function for ti.e benefit of that line, there certainly is that opiortur.ity new fer the Lead Institute, and it is simply a question of hew the producers of pl^ lead nay feel that their general interest dictates either active propaganda for lead or indifference as to what becc:..eo of tr.lu article due to their interest in the substituted materials. "A peculiarity of T:I LE.Y CCAFEriTICa' as suown in many lines, is that at first there is a sub stitution of material ti^at i6 somewhat similar and fairly closely related to the original article, and then later on a tendency to the substitution of materials that is in no way are similar". The Chairman stated that this brought up a subject of great interest to the directors who had already giver. 1 it much thought without, uewever, arriving at any con clusion as to the mar.-cr in-nhlch the leal In.u-tries sight be benefited the cost by any collective activity of the Association.
