RETORT OF THS PRESID EAT The president referred to the reports of ths secretarytreasurer stating that thesa reports outlined the activi ties of the Association during ths year quits fully. Re called attention to the fact that the dues had been re duced during the year, an action which waa no doubt weleoeie to all meirbera but he pointed out, however, that such reduction of dues did not and does not mean a cur tailment in the activities of ths Association or in its services to ths members. All the work will he carried on as usual. The president referred to discussions had at the meeting of the directors with respect to research work seeking r.ew uses for lead aa vsll as protecting and extending present outlets for ths metal. He pointed out that repre sentatives of ths research departments of ths various or- ganisstlon members of ths Association would meat infor mally before the close of the meeting to diecuss the prob lem in an endeavor to formulate plans for ths carrying out of cuch work.

It narked a quarter century of cooperative effort to protect and improve the position of the lead Industry In the overwall economy. Being a vertical organisation of producers and consumers, it has been able to attack nary problems without fear of following a course that would be detrimental to ary segment of the industry. Through de pression, war and readjustment, problems have naturally been cany, but the site and strength of the Association today attests to the succeasfnl canner in which most of these problems have been met, the cooperative spirit of the membership, and usefulness of the Association to the in* dustry end consuming public. This also msy be a fitting time to reflect on the experience gained In the past and to contemplate how that experience may be put to best use In the future. Performance of the lead market since the war has demonstrated that the wrrld may have e productive capacity for lead beyond its ability to consume without stockpiling, is the Industry taking full advantage of this situation to expand the markets for lead and Its products? For majy years the Association he* conducted modest programs to Increase the use of certain lead products, particularly In paint, plumbing and chemical construction. Some of this work has met with notable success. But has It been enough? The new use of lead compounds la porcelain enamels for aluminum Indicates a possible field, the ceramic Industry, in which greater effort might bring broader markets for lead products. Growth of the nuclear field and Intensive efforts of com petitive shielding material manufactures to displace lead in all kinds of radiation protection may offer another area for greater efforts. These are merely examples of possible opportunities that may not be filly exploited now. While individual members are already spending large amounts of money in research for new products and uses, nevertheless it is generally conceded that the metal industries as a whole spend less per dollar cf asles on research than do, for example, the chemical Industries.

Borclna* Mrs* Alice Mayer and Kiss Helena Marbach have completed twenty or more years of eenrloe, with your Secretary baring completed twenty-five years last month. The least that can be said is that there has rarely been a dull moment. And no report would be complete with out a word about the cooperative aplrlt of the membership and thanks to the officers and directors for the time and wisdom they bars contributed to the guidance of association affairs* i MBOgtSHIP Thera were several changes In membership during the year* mostly occasioned by changes in ownership of companies or plants. New member* Included The Mardeck Lead Products Co.* Dallas* Texas, and The C. A. Avrll Co.* Cincinnati* Ohio, which acquired the plants formerly operated by the Eagle - Picher Co. In those cities. Allied Sawltlng 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 & Smelting Co* was completely absorbed by Amoriean Smelting A 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 la believed that its importance in consumption of staff time, value to tha industry, and saving and service to members may be underestimated* By correspondence* telephone and personal visit the Association is literally deluged dally with requests for help In connection with lead* These eome from newspapers, magatInss and authors of books who want to verify facts or get additional information for articles dealing with lead* They c o m 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 sconomic problems. |JH sa*'ja m i, mu j I..I* r*--*-----  *?W - w w m. i.,jsmwinn1 y*t^x.ui*'!m'mm<"wrr> ' LIA20883 . X i s 0 J Annual Meeting 3 - April 22-23, 1*51* Here are for examples! 1, A member uktd us to determine the causa of bursting of a recently Installed and apparently perfectly good lead eerriea pipe. Involved a trip from New fork to Pennsylvania, 2, Consulting engineers asked fr type of lead plate to be used for supporting hinges for concrete structure, 3, A leading university asked fer basic physical data on lead they were unable to find Is "Metals Handbook* or other standard works, it, A leading business publication tad a leading tads paper asked for information on lead-acid and nickel-cadmium batteries 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 in a manual, 6, Two different architects and one member asked for data on 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 on the lead industry, 5. A painting contractor asked for specific information on the relative merits of different metal-protective paints. ? 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 prices was de tected in e 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 lima 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 tine of member companies, duplicated majy times, mould be consumed in answering them. Statistics No change was made in the statistical services of the Association during ths year. Ne have continued to cooperate with other statistic gather ing agencies, such as the American Bureau of Metal Statistics and tha 0, 3, Buroau of Mines to avcid explication and to try to iron out inconsistancles that appear in the various sories of figures. The secretary 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 assistance in statistical studies of the lead industries were handled during the year, A request by the U, 3. Tariff Commission to use our pig load sales statistics was granted with the approval of reporting companies. tim* LlA20884 Annual Meeting -It - April 22-23, l&lt An analyst* of our statistical work indicated that only about #7 aan-houra 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 from customary procedure and held the annual meeting at The Oreenbrler, White Sulphur Springs, W, Va., Including the ladles In the social affairs. Total attendance wee ebcut 135* two-thirds being men. Business sessions wore patterned after previous meetings and covered com prehensively the production and consumption problems of the Industry, Members generally agreed that the meeting was highly successful and fit tingly marked the occasion. LO.OINO Aim PtClCAOIHO The sub-committee 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 thesa 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, abcut 60C complimentary copies have been provided members and good friends of the Association and about 3,000 have boon 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 la 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 ussrs of lead such as architects, engineers, contructlon companies, chemical 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 Defense Bulletins were circulated to members during the year. Publications of the Divisions are not mentioned hare 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 Minirg Journal," spswp*****' LIA20885 Annual Meeting -5- April 22-23i 19514 An article about the Association and lta serviee u written far and published in tha Buyer's PurehaaIns Digest, at tha request of that pub lication. Tha secretary addressed tha annual Matins of tha Idaho Mining Association on tha Invitation of that organisation. Other articles and addresses are eovered under divisional acti vities. OOVERMG.NT REUTIOKS As government controls ware removed froa lead our contacts with Washington agencies shifted more and mors froa tha emergency to permanent agencies. Regular liaison is maintained with all thosa agencies which are users, potential users or specifiers of lead or hare 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 (1) Industry or Government Advisory Committee on Schedule B Revision, Bureau of Census; and (2) the Advisory Council on Federal De 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 OConference on Resources for the Future- sponsored by the Ford Foundation. The President of the Association, a member of the Executive Committee, and the secretary represented the Association. Other meetings attended and organisations with which eloee 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, Varnish and Lacquer Association, American Ceramic Society, American Society for Test ing Materials, National Association of Corrosion Engineers, American Stan dards Association and others. The secretary and staff are active in com mittee work of many of thess organisations in the interests of lead. HTOU!tB 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 fork, Chicago and some other cities. Ws are working with the Paint Association to combat thess mores with the outcome promising, but still In doubt. 2, The research on childhood plumblsm at Johns-Hopklns, supported by our grant of (10,000 was completed In October and a report is expected momentarily. The work le being continued for another year at no axpenae to us. i --ie \ Mate U'l--' HWf--S w. i;1'! rn*' m-.)'HH!.i!!l!P '! *a. LIa?0886 Cg-Sf* Annual Meeting -6- April 22-23, 1?S* 3.

Our efforts to promote adequate laboratory services to aid in diagnosis of lead poisoning are bearing fruit, with moro or less adequate services new available in Baltimore, Boston, Cincinnati, Cleve land, Chicago, Denver, Hew fork. Silt Lake City and Seattle* 12* Attendance at mary national and regional meetings of health organisations has kept us in closo touch with the liedical profession and health authorities. 0 13* Adverse publicity at tho rate of 30 to 1*0 newspaper iteas per month has appeared on tho effocts of lead on children, adults, live stock and wildfowl. Hijrover possiblo these have been followed up with a view to correcting misconcoptions and misstatements, often with gratlQrlng results* "W mm i ii.uwHM mm Li A20B87 jf*. r *V; 1 .- r t\ i ri-n.. r,>m W/ Annual Moating 7 - April 22-2), 1951* 111.

Motalllc Load Products Division A ropert of this Division's activities was sent to Members of the Division on Xovoeber 10, 1953. Tho following euanarises these acti vities! 1. Our two field men coneontratod on thoso areas whero corveortod offorts woro being made to promote other materials at tho exponas of load. In meat 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 tho training of plumbers in load work proceeded satisfactorily. In this wo also had close cooperation from tho Buroau of Apprenticeship, D* 3. Department of labor. 3. With the first printing of 3,000 coplos of our textbook, Lead Work for Mcdorn Plumbing,* sold in less than five months, a second printing of 3,000 copies was authorised and printed. All Indications are that tho socood printing will bo exhausted before the end of this year and that w b will havo dorivod the benefit of about $8,000 worth of educational literature for a not coat of about $2,000. li. 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 convention of the Rational Association of Plumbing Contractors created unusual interest with groups of 20 to 25 delegates at a tlmo watching their colleagues try their skill. 6. Hisaor-us requests from architects and engineers for assistance on plans for chjnical laboratory piping Installations led to propvrration of a preliminary draft of specifications for such installations. This draft has boon submitted to interested members for comment and it is ex pected that the specifications con bo published shortly. 7. Our soldering Subcommittee of tho American Welding Society Committoo on Braxlrg and Soldoring mot several tinos during the year and consldorablo progross has been mado toward preparation of tho Soldor ing handbook to bo published by tho Welding Society. 8.

Two Chemical Construction Pullotlns on tho use of lead In this flold were distributed to our list of about 1,300 college* 0 teaching chemical engineering, chemical construction coopAnios, chemical Banufacturers, consultants and others interested. 15. Too articles prepared by a ataff member on lead in chemi cal constriction waro published in "Chemical Boglnooring* and another in "Industrial and Engineering Chemistry." Reprints were obtained and distributed. 17. Feasibilities of a tol dorolopcd by Remington Arms Co. for reducing the cost of load chord.cal installations wore recognised and a Joint testing program undertaken. Thu tests 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 Buch tine was spent on gathering material on tho possibilities and use *f lead for this purpose and articles are In preparation for suitable publications. 19. For 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 ataff member was vice-chairman f the Northeast Region cf the National Association of Corrosion Erglnoors. 21. A tentative standard fer load ripe for chemical service was prepared ai 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.
