This is sheer fain, tot these laws still
focus cm doing something for the man who has met with an accident, rather than on driving full strain into eiimin. ting causes lor accidents. When a ship is ssnking, then the whole weight of responsibility rests on manning the life boats and gel mg the pas sengers and crew off the vessel. When an auto has gone hurtling off a thruway then Ifie weight of moral responsibility is to rush medical rare.
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 1 moral satisfaction. In its modern con cept moral responsibility stresses preventing the worst from happening on the oceans and
on qwt roads rather than being content wih lucking up the pieces after the worst has happened
Tosal security is a goal flat is beyond ouv teach, but great progress can be made when meat of competence and good will and devo tion join together to help each other in every way possible to promote safety rmsa*o**s against accident h u a rd i The symbol of This step is, I suppose, the National safety Congress itself. It stands for moral responsibility toward these hazards at it h host, for our deepest responsibility toward the v*-tim of accidents is to sec to It that: all is dune to keep him front becoming : victim. And that is a worthy cans* for all of us, wherever we are--in labor and mi

ample, that dw o.jective of b Itrial safety should be the preservation of hum in life and the proiectkn of human heal?! W. would farther a^rec that an :>tphyer .as a moral responses thy to prctr : his wor t* against disease, accic 'ii ftse-rtsd st: . and infection from the cor ions employ
ment.
We all p dess tr agree s human life is no* cheat that man nc 'K'metlHttg to he sacrificed to a machine. At. ! yet, tl -se ethical principle* re not always afn'Beu m lay to day life t* are the; self-e- rciug In practical application *hey ere-" h; i con flirt with individual economic r crests, ant! thus must be enforced either through jr jp action, or by society as a hole thi gh political action.
A rule, society does not -nove s fas as the need would indicate. 1 e all know, for example, that the first in- .trial rev utton had run its course for more i! .an 00 years before society got round to adopting and enforcing rul- and regulations of in dustrial safety. For more t nn 100 years industrial workers were p:ven . o legal pi otection against the risks , d hazards of in dustrial employment.
Here and there, a 1 ne individ 1employer might attempt to provide decent and health ful working conditions for his workers. But on the whole, the story of factory empf vment in the 19th century--and through the a r ty 20th century--was a pretty ghastly one.
I don't need to go into the details that are ndkatiw of the cold indifference with which human life was held in American mines and factories. Strf&ce to say, it did not seem to matter how many men, women and children were killed or crippled in thi course of a day. There were always more waiting at the gates die next morning--driven by raw poverty to p.iead for a chance to jeopardize their lives and limbs.
s c a r r y ought cham gb
The point 3 am getting at, of course, is
that change--when it came--was not the result of any regeneration of moral and ethical conviction on the (art of employers It came rather because society as a whole was thoroughly revolted. It came because the American people were finally shocked enough to comet a condition .hat had pre vailed--and grown worse---for 100 years.
So v- finally got :irtory laws--ami work men'* comi-aiiath ">--and an orgaatad effort to sake rniii; . jactorie* and mills safer p'aees to wot But e i alt the tegtslaion aimed at tins olriecf'-e, workmen's <ompensatKin was ic key For until employers were m rle uirectly an" finaur ily respon sible for the csults c workers* aeddents. they bad no ccon aic teat n ti prevent accidents The whole pat' m ami fabric of our industrial fety pn ran throughout the nation rests entirely on Hew good and how efieeth our workmen1: comensarion and our occupational disease laws are.
ECONOMIC REASONS
OH, of course, you can point to many other good ecor mic rationalizations for in dustrial safety You cut say industrial ac rid ns add all hinds of direct and indirect costs to production. You can point to the eoat of hiring nd training a new employee, of equipment imaged in a work acolt".t, of the time lost bv other employees when an acrid it occurs.
But 1 will throw them all right back to you and say 1i;;i.t the' considerations hi-ere present long before w had industrial acci dent prog:: .ms--and that it wasn't until ac cident prevention w;*'. rein'creed with work men's temper ratio:, and occupational disease kgjskition ; at employers really became safety conscious.
So it tom that the ring that counts here is how good cur wos lemon's com;|*tisa~ tion and occupational disease legislation really are.
And that's a good question 1 I've spent my whole adult lit in the labor movement. As a matter of fact, 1 was projected into it b the very thing we are talking about here today--an industrial accident. I went to work at 17 years of age because my father was totally disabled by a work in jury--a injury that eventually killed hint
In the .nurse of many years of studying and dealing with the problems of mv on --which arc. of o.jurse, the problems of the member* of my union. I realized that ottr present system of workmen's onmpensatiers and occupational disease legislation is compk$eh and win.Ily inadequate to meet tin: need* of our complex. industrial society.
1 am no alone in that conclusion. Th.ere are, in fact, many men in the labor move ment today who feel even more strong! y

If that is *t~and I for one am inclined to
leiievc *--it is tragic commentary on our tune---rat the ethics of a business commuait)
that has done so little about it, It is even more tragic in view of the fact that we are now catering a new phase in our industrial development--a phase of such sweeping change that some commentators have referred to it as a new industrial revolution. Think of that--we are entering a new in dustrial revote!km without ever having fatly solved the problem that attended the rid
one.
I wonder if it will again take us 100 year* to make even a decent start on the health and safety problems that will arise out of Hitomtian id atomic energy. These prob lems are not a part of a distant tomorrow hot ate already a part of the world today. Now more than 1,500 industrial plants are using aomk materials in one form or another--in 1.500 establishments American *oker* are already exposed to the Hazards of atomic radiation.
Can we say 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?
DON'T KNOW PROTECTIONS
Personally, I frei somewhat discouraged about the prospects. How can the states protect and care for victim* of industrial radiation when they haven'! yet learned to protect ami care for victims of occupational diseases that have been prevalent for genera tions? We need only look at silicosis and pneumoconiosis to see the failure. And
failure to provide adequate treatment and
compensation for these dreadful dust disease* is paralleled by the failure of industry to finance programs of research that would
lead to their prevention at the source of exposure.

At what poem does the human mind crack up from sheer loneliness, lack of contact with fellow workers, from uninterrupted repetition and brainwashing boredom?
I am not just tosring question* out! at random here. All of the things I am talking about--from workmen's cranpensalkm 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 safety is a broad term. It i* defined as: f t) the stele or condition of firing safe; (2) ftqpfcxn from danger or risk; and (3) freedom from injury.
Safety means freedom front any kind of danger, risk or injury. When we apply that definition to industrial conditions we must think in terms of hidden dangers as wd'. We must change our attitude toward oc cupational diseases--go out looking for them instead of trying to pretend they don't exist or implying if the* do exist, that they have n o relation to industrial causes.
I am not exaggerating when 1 say that industry has taken a "head-m-the-sand" at titude up to now. It has tried to cover up occupattonal disease* rasher than to isolate, prevent and care for them.
There has Iwen little research..-cither governmental nr private--ir. the field The Public Health Service spends less than one rent for each worker each vear on the pre vention of occupational diseases. The Na tional Institute of Health, which ha* made hundreds of research rants during the tw*t three r four years, has mark lew than half a dcren in "he held of occupational health There .its iron curtain of secre.-v At`inn-1 U/i* n/'-ole subject

s c a m s frevail in m ousvnr
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 <fie from bek of proper information and ade quate precaution.
Here are specific examples that will ilhtsstrate this point. There is tome medkal evidence that the chemicals used in the dye industry ami in the manufacture of synthetic rubber cause or contribute to cancer of the bladder. In fact, one of these--anuM--t* so danger that it has been outlawed for alt industrial uses in Britain since 1951. But efforts to prove, publicize and restrict the dangers of this deadly arid hove hit stubborn resistance in this country. The large chemical companies hove 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 So cooperate in a full scale scientific study of this curious correla tion. This reluctance to do research in health hazards recurs in industry after in dustry.
" DOCTORS OFTEN tlASEO
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 conipany doctors who testify that the disease couldn't possibly have been caused by their employment. Doc tors are supposed to be above reproach in our society. But as a labor official I have known of too many cases b which company

doctors have testified agahe* wortows and for UMmgaMnt its occupations! dtwase * f t even though they knew their totihneey was boused.

As we contemplate these conflicting views among professional men--and as w e thought fully study the reluctance of industry to be honest about this matter of occupational discasc--we cannot help bat wonder whether the lust for profits has trade many trust for get the real purpose of life. What is the real purpose o f life? Is it product* and profit--or the wen-being of the tndmdaaJ? If there is conflict between the two, do w e sacrifice production and profit or the well being of the individual ?
The ethical answer is obvious. But the practical methods o f reaching the logical ethical conclusion are more difficult
FEDERAL ACTS NEEDED
W e could make a start by enacting com
prehensive federal workmen's eonrpetiisatkn
and occupational disease legislation to take
the place of the chaos that results from having 48 different state systems.. But ! have no hopes for such a constructive ap proach in the foreseeable future. I am
afraid the insurance lobby, and the employer
groups that profit from weak admaii.st rat are 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 cam do right now. We cart try to have programs set up in the National Institute of Health and in she Public Health Service which would recognize the imporuncc of o:t.tptsonal diaestse--and which would put the re-search effort in this ration on a par with that of other civilized industrial ration*.

If we enmot get decent factory inspee lion (n o the Mate govenamb then we in the tahar movement most resort to self-hdp.

We are also prepared to bargain for more supplemental injury benefits when Ae com pensation provided by state laws is not ade<pa!e to sustain a worker and his family. Although our efforts win directly benefit only Ae 1? million organised workers, per haps they will release new pressures that will eventually remit in improved legisla tion benefiting all workers.
The American labor movement has but one purpose--one reason for existence in .American fife--to serve and protect Ameri can workers. There are A imes when we
make ourselves pretty unpopular because we keep looking for the things that ate wrong with American industry and American sodeiy.
I may have offended industry men in * this mdktuKRt of Ac ethics and morals of our business community. But I woukl be derelict in my doty and false to my trust as an eketed officer of one of America's greatest unions if I Ad not say frankly and candidly that we in the labor movement are not satisfied with present legislation rdaitmg 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 are squarely faced. If we in Ae labor movement could count on your assistance in the fight for better legislation and more research on loth the state and federal levels we might, to gether, make ffus a far happier, healtJiier and safer nation in which to live and work.
M O D COMMUNICATIONS HELP SAFETY

public relation# director, United Rubber, Cork, Linoleum & Plastic Workers crl America, AFL-CIO, Akron, Ohio
Our organization has been safety minded for many years. The record on that score .peaks for itself in a loud and dear manner. The results of our efforts, iii cooperation with enlightened managements, tell the story' of how we have seen the number of acci dents reduced in the plants ia which our members work I shall not go into specific figures on frequency rates and sock
1 don't suppose 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.
Fust, let's do a little word analyzing. I certainly don't want to sound tike the pon tifical professor lecturing his class on nemat ics But when we say good in our topic, "Good Comrrasnicatiom Help Safety,'' we immediately infer that there U another kind
besides good. And there cmairily is. 1 think there is a lot of bad and furry com munications going ou in all fields.
Within the subject matter at hand. I would say the word good 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 the word romMmrVafmj: in the phrase You can't have communications-- the good type that is--unless someone is sending the message and someone is re ceiving it. 1 was in she Air Force in World W ar II. and ! served as a radio operator in Ae 1`acific aboard a B-29 Superfortress.
