ILLINOIS 1957 Natimoi Softly Congress This sheer gain, bus these laws still locus on doing something for the man who has met with an accident rather than on driving full torn into eiimin. ting causes ior accidents. Wien a ship is smiting, then thr whole weight of responsibility rests an manning the life boats and gel ng the pas sengers and crew off the vessel. When an auto has gone hurtling off a thruway then tiie weight of moral responsibility is to rush medical care. But neither life boats nor ambulances are the full measure of moral responsibility that rests upon us today when ships still sail the high seas and car* ride the hit sways. Our moral sense has grown up beyond that level of moral satisfaction. In its modern con cept moral responsibility stresses preventing the worst from happening on the oceans and on otsr roads rather than being content wiul: picking up the pieces after the worst has happened. Total security is a goal that is beyond our reads, but great progress be made when men of competence anti good will and devo tion join together to help each other in every way possible to promote safety mea sures against accident haaards. The symbol of thi step is, I suppose, the National .Safety Congress itself. It stands for moral responsibility toward these hasardb at in best, for our deepest responsibility toward the > tiro of accidents is to sec to It that all t* done to keep him from becoming a victim. And that is a worthy cam* for all of us, wherever we are--in labor and m management, m education and in govern merit. A ? LAiOft*$ STAKE IN SAFETY b f A .

As rule, society* does not -nove s fas as the need would indicate. " e all know, for example, that the first me! trial rev iution had ran its course for more tf m 100 years before society got ;round to iulopdng and enforcing rub and regtdations, of in dustrial safety. For more t m 100 yturs indnstriaJ workers were rv eti ..o legal protection against the risks id hazards of usdustria! employment. Here and there, a 1 me indivul 3 employer might attempt to provide decent and healthin! working conditions for his workers But on the whole; the story of factory employ ment in the 19th century--and through the early 20th century--was a pretty ghastly one I don't need to go into the details that are dkative of the cold indifference with which human life was held in American mines and factories. Suffice to say. it did not seem to matter how many men, women and children were killed or crippled in the course of a day There were always more waiting at the gates the next morning--driven by raw poverty to plead for a chance to jeopardize their lives and limbs. SOCIETY OUGHT CHARG ES The point 1 .an getting at, of course, is that change--when it came--was not the result of any regeneration of moral arid ethical conviction on the {art i f employer* It carte rather because tax-irty as a whole was thoroughly revolted. It came because the American people were fs'tally shocked enough to correct a condition hat had pre vailed--and grown worse--for 100 years. So w iutally ft* ctory laws--and work men's coini em ail i--uid an organized effort to make miti; . factories and mills safer i 'tees to win But os all the legislation aimed at this oBriret'", workmen's compen st was ic key. For until employers were min Le uirectly am financ illy respon sible f the csult* e workers* accidents, they had no eeon nic tea: a to prevent accidents The whole pattern and fabric of our industrial fety program throughout the nation rests entirety on how good and how effectif our workmen com ensanon and our occupa ional disease laws are. ECONOMIC HEASONS OH, of course, you can point to many other good ecw otic rationalizations for in dustrial safety. You can say industrial acddem s ad<! all lands of direct and indirect costs to production- You can point to the coat of hiring nd training a new employe, of equipment imaged in a work accident, of the time tost bv other employees when an aedd it occurs But I will throw them ail right back to you and say i nt the* considerations were present long before * Had industrial acci dent prog:, ms--and rh.it it wasn't until ac cident prevention w " reirriorced with work men's comp utio.. and upational disease k p h t i o n ti.at employers really became safety conscious. So it seems that the firing that counts here is how good car woi'kmen's compensa tion and occupational disease legislation really are. And that's a good question 1 I've spent my whole adult Hri: in the labor movement. As a matter of fact., 1 was projected into it b. the very thing we are talking atout here today--an industrial accident. ! went to work at 17 years of age because my father was totally disabled by a work in jury--an injury that eventually killed him In the course of many years of studying and dealing with she problems ci my union --which are. of course, the problem? of the members of my union. I realized that our present system of workmen's compensation and occupational disease legislation is com pletely and wlsi.-lly inadequate to meet tf needs of our cumpie* industrial socielv. I am not ahwie in that conclusion. T ,::.t?Te are, in fact, many men in the labor move ment today who feel even more strong! v 17 s, 19& S a h m a t Safety Congress l(m t 1 d o -flim who are firmly convinced that workmen' compensation has been a g iin lk twindlc on the American worker. This nation has tried to deal with a national problem by having 48 separate, conflirting-- and in a seme -- competing Mate statutes. And th ere'is no doubt hot that workmen' compensation is one kind of labor legislation that states use to compete with me another to attract industry In fact, whenever we go into the state legislatures to get improvement or expan sion of existing laws, we invariably meet employer counter-arguments to the effect that any further improvement in coverage or benefit structure wilt shove industry into the wasting and sympathetic arms of states which are more concerned with j;;ro ll -- than with the people on those payrolls. SAFETY INTEREST LACKING Certainty the health and safety of the nation's work force should not be a pawn in any state's bid for new industry, But that is just what it i*. lindca a system that allows Mississippi ;,r Arkansas or ("corgis to compel a for inUisiry by M itring low workmen's compensation benefits an ! a mini mum of safeiy regulation the pla n level. Why should an employer pay $40 a week for a temporary wlal u, abili' in IHimas-- when he can go to Arkansas and pay $25 a week for the same injury? The situation in worici en's compensation legislation is m bad. in fact, hat the Secre tary of Labor, Mr Mitchell, iltb srh speak ing for an admin. -iranon that n iially fol lows a hsirsds-off polit y in state legislation, has been con-trained to .nrak out and to plead with the states t. tiring tl r jaws into line with moder conditio1 f?itr because em| >ers o ; v off one state against another i- !bi- mat.er. the re sults have Keen -j anew negligible.

But as bad as the Mtustioo in workmen'* compensation and factor) im uction may he, the situation in ocatpational disease cov erage verges on the erimmaL And th is a m atter o f move than j u t poor legislation. It is incredible to think that oi the second half of the JOth century 20 statist still sifter have no coverage or limited coverage of occupational disease. But the greater problem is that there is too little vmAtii1itwwAnig of the nature and complexity of occupational iisease. The range and sourer of occupational disease in modem industry is practically limitless Norte of the ways by which man m ales a living it completely free of m e hazard to idtvMcal or mental health.

Think of that--we are entering a new in dustrial revolution without ever having fully solved the problems that attended the old one. I wander if it will again take us 100 years to make even a decent start on the health and safety problems that will arise out of automation mid atomic energy. These prob lems are not a part of a (fistant tomorrow hot are already a part of the world today Now more than 1,500 industrial plants are using atomic materials in one form or mother--m 1,500 establishments American workers are already exposed to the hazards of atomic radiation. Ota we sav the state laws in existence today--indeed can we sav that any system of state inspection and compensation -- are adequate to care for the workers who will get leukemia or bone cancer because of exposure to atomic radiation? DONT KNOW PROTECTIONS Personally, 1 frel somewhat discouraged about the prospect*. How can the states protect and care for victims of industrial radiation when they haven't yet learned to protect ami care for victims of occupational diseases that liare been prevalent for genera tions? W e need only look at silicosis and pneumoconiosis to see the failure. And failure to provide adequate treatment and compensation for these dreadful dust disease i* paralleled by the failure of industry to finance programs of research that would lead to their prevention at the source of exposure.

But we don't know how much more stress people can take, or ' hat effect automation will have on a worker's nervous system. At what poem does the human mind crack up from sheer loneliness, lack of contact with fellow workers, front uninterrupted repetition and brainwashing boredom? I am not just tossing questions owl at random here. All of the things I ant talking about--from workmen's compensation and occupational disease to radiation and mental distress--have a valid relation to industrial health and safety--and are proper subjects of labor interest. LOOK FOR DANGERS For afety is a broad term. It is dditted as: ( I ) the state or condition of being safe; (2) ftg d u n from danger or risk; and (3) freedom from injury. Safety means freedom from any kind of danger, risk or injury. When we apply that defimtkm to industrial conditions we must think in terms of hidden dangers as well. We must dtange our attitude toward oc cupational diseases--go out looking for them instead of trying to pretend they don't exist, or implying if they do exist, that they have no relation to industrial causes. I am not exaggerating when I say that industry has taken a "head-m-the-sand" at titude up to now. It has tried to cover up occupational diseases rather than to isolate, prevent and care for them. There has been little research...cither governmental or private--ir. she field The Public Health Service spends less than one cent for each worker each 'e a r on the pre vention of icrutsuiortal disease*. The N a tional Institute of Health, which has made hundred* of research vrants during the past three - r tour year*, has made less than halt a dozen in the held of occupational health There i- an iron curtain of secrecy ar.iimd `his I.,'-..de subject No-: only dee* industry ku! ti, support .I research in {XTupaticnml di- it .it i, kin men who la v e tr ied to do inTeperahm! research rind that it i-> virtually impossible m get facts, information, or co- isperaii'-n from the people in industry who arc .it a p nit-.on to help.

We a n faacs heN*** ether >}>' in this fcspect. One expert in th u fidd mid that research in pmcawnconiosM hi this country is 25 yean behind that of Great Britain. s c o te rs PREVAIL in industr* Industry actively opposes objective re search and free interchange of information on occupational diseases because it is more afraid of the possibility of paying compensa tion benefits than it is that workers will S t from bek of proper information and ade quate precaution. Here are specific examples tin t will ilhzsstrate this point. There is some medical evidence that the chemicals used in the dye industry and in the manufacture of synthetic rubber cause or contribute to cancer of the Madder. In fact, one of these--amine..is so dangerous that it has been outlawed for all industrial uses in Britain since 1951. But efforts to prove, publicize ami restrict the dangers of this deadly acid have hit stubborn resistance in this country. The large chemical companies have refused to find out if amine does contribute to cancer of the Madder and have strongly resisted in dependent research into this problem. Much the same situation holds true in the asbestos industry. There appears to be de cided after-effects on workers who produce asbestos in that there is a marked correla tion between asbestos employment and lung cancer. Here again, the industry has been traditionally reluctant to cooperate in a full scale scientific study of this curious correla tion This reluctance to do research in health hazards recurs in industry after m- -*DOCTOS OFTEN ffASEO But even worse when workers do succumb to cancer of the bladder or the lung, or to some other equally horrible diseases, we are treated to the spectacle of company doctors who testify that the disease couldn't possibly lave been caused by their employment. Doc tors arc supposed to be above reproach in our society. But as a labor official 1 have known of too many cases in which company 20 doctors have testified agaiK* workers and fur nnnagfimt in tsrcajMlimwl disease emes even tboegh they knew their tartbMMy was biased. It sheeld wot surprise os that doctors tarn be unobjective m these caste where their ttrij--ngy Is bmggbt and paid fur. We lane only to look at the wMki spresd dUfecwac* of ogham among doctors as the effect of cigarette smokhg to esc that their tanrimony fui Moat doctors who me not in the gay of rigyfH companies are mrrineed by ail the scientific evidence on record dun cigar ettes undoubtedly contribute to tang .cancer. Bat the doctors an the payrolls of dbe to bacco companies other deny dial cigarettes contribute to long cancer, or at best main tain that there is not yet enough proof. As we contemplate these oonfikting: views among professional men--and as we thought fully study the reluctance of industry h be honest about this matter of occupational disease -we cannot help but wonder whether the lust for profits has made many men for get the real purpose of life. What is the real purpose of life? is it prafaetkm and profit--or the welt-being of the individual ? If there is conflict between the two, do we sacrifice production and profit or the well being of the inefividuai ? The ethical answer is obvious. But the practical methods of reaching the 'logical ethical conclusion are more difficult. FBDMtAL ACTS NEEDED We could make a start by enacting com prehensive federal workmen's compensation and occupational disease Segishtfcisi to take the place of the chaos that result* from having 48 different state systems But ! have no hopes for such a conrinwiive ap proach in the foreseeable future.. 1 am afraid the insurance lobby, and the employer groups that profit from weak admimst ration a rt too strong for us at this time. So we'll just have to make that one of our long range objectives. But there are some things we cum do right now. We can try to have programs set up in the National Institute of Health and in the Public Health Service which would recognize the importance of occupa tional disease--and which would pul the re. search effort in this nation art par wish, that of other civilized rodustrial nations.

U tO ft B6HTS W * SBJ We are also prepared to bargain for more supplemental injury benefits when the com pensation provided by Mate laws is not ade quate to sustain a worker and his family. Although our efforts will directly benefit wily the 17 million organized workers, per haps they will release new pressures that rid eventually result in improved legistation benefiting all workers. The American labor movement has but one purpose--one reason for existence in .American life--to serve and protect Ameri can workers. There are times when we make ourselves pretty unpopular because we keep looking for the things that are wrong with American industry and American society. I may have offended industry men with this mdKtoncnt of the ethics and moral of our business community. But I wouhl be derelict in my duty and false to my trust as art elected officer of one of America's greatest unions if I did not say frankly and candidly that wr in the labor movement are not satisfied with present legislation relating to industrial health and safety, workmen's compensation and occupational diseases. In a sense this is a great challenge to the National Safety Council--a challenge that can be met only if all facts arc squarely faced. If we in the labor movement could count cm your assistance in the fight for better legislation and more research on loth the state and federal levels we might, to gether, make in s a far happier, healtJtier and safer nation in which to live and work. M O D COM M UNICATIONS HELP SAFETY b y M M M SC1IVSM public itb fio m director, United Rubber, C od, linoleum & Plastic Workers of A m erica, AFL-CIO, Alcin, O h io Our organization has been safety minded for many years. The record on that score speaks for itself in a loud and clear manner. The results of our efforts, in cooperation with enlightened managements, tell the story of how we have seen the number of acci dents reduced in the plants in which our members work. I shall not go into specific figures on frequency rates and such. I don't oppose any of you would dispute the fiat statement that good communications help safety. But I'd like to try and give you some of the techniques, the how and the why of that statement. First, let's do a little word analyzing. I certainly don't want to sound tike the pon tifical professor lecturing his class on setnatics, But when we say ffood in our topic, "Good Communications Help Safety,'* we immediately infer that there is another kind besides good. And there o<amly is. I think there is a lot of had and furry com munications going on in ail fields. Within the subject matter at hand, I would say the word oood means that type which gets some concrete reaction and re sults. In the United Rubber Workers, we think our communications have been pood because we have the results to show for it. MUST HAVE RECEIVER Now for he word comrnmicatkmt in the phrase. You can't have communication*--- the good type that is--unless someone is sending the message and someone is re ceiving it. 1 was in the Air Force in World War II. and I served as a radio operator in the I'arific aboard a B-29 Superfortress When 1 sent a message and no one received it, I didn't have ccrmutinications..
