TfS "SEJismWtS'ftrsiR TCT~TnTJ~TExR~I^>6~ For many years the Ordinary expenses of the Association such as rent, overhead and the like, Including Health and Safety activities and the Pension Fund, have been flnanoed by all members of the Association under the method out* lined in the By-Laws of the Association. Briefly this is on a tonnage basis with lead miners] smelters and refiners] manufacturers of lead products! and makers of cable, batteries and ammunition participating in a ratio of L-1-2-J respectively per ton. However, as the Association entered Into various industry development activities etch development program was financed by whatever method seemed equitable at the time, resulting in each program having a different ratio of participation : fcy the different groups involved and different manufacturers participating in different activities. About two years ago an Industry Development Fund was established by the producers of pig lead only, to be used strictly for the purpose its name implies. Aa a result, starting with 1957 all industry development activities are financed O solely froa this fund and companies which are strictly miners of lead ores or manufacturers of lead products aro no longer asked to subscribe to industry developsent activities. We believe that this has been a distinctly progressive step offering the Association greater flexibility in its operations. Nevertheless, its success will depend upon continued support of the manufacturers of lead products, who are in closest touch with the industries to which we are promoting the use of -i lead, by giving the Association the valuable benefit of their knowledge of these industries and the assistance of their trained pereonnel, as they have in the pisv, in such work as that of the Red Lead Technical Committee, Ceramics Technical Committee, Solder Committee, Cable Committee, Technical Steering Committee, and others. Over the last 30 years the per capita consumption of lead in the U, S, has declined roughly $ lb, from slightly over 15 lb. in the last half of the prosperous 1920 decade to a little over llj.5 lb. in the first half of tha proaperous 1950 deoada. On the basis of present population this represents a loss of over 60,000 tons of lead oonsutod per year. Since World War II supplies of lead available to U. S. oonsuners have averaged about 100,000 tons per year in excess of industrial demand, the difference going mainly to Government stockpiling. It appears ithat if per capita consumption of lead could be raised to the level of tha late '20's, supply and demand would strike a close bolanoe. However, per capita changes in consumption have not been uniform through out the various uses of load. White lead, foil and cable sheath for example, hare shewn major deolincs but tetraethyl lead, storage battorles, solder and oxides for 0 uses other than batteries, have shown major Incrooses, and nuclear radiation shield ing has beoame an entirely new field on which no dotoare cvailable. To close the gap between supply and Industrial decun d obviously requires an approach to the J ir ui.ijm. i >' ]S 1767.01 i mi^pp.' jajHgiw^gjww^y*'!*11 t-ji "--yywgwryggp LIAZ1A19 *** rf- '"-' ^ ^--- -- -- -- --A - t^. Annual Report -2- for the Tear 1956 problem over a broad front. Efforts Bust be made, where possible, to keep the use of load in the growth industries growing end to Increase less important uses and find new ones. It is also probable that those Industries whioh have shown major losses will level off, some because there is little more to lose, like whits load and foil, and some, like cable sheathing, whioh have already shown a levellig off tendency since the last war and ere still eitable oonavners. Recognizing that there is a good possibility of closing the gap between supply and Industrial demand and the variety of products involved, the Association in the last few years has both increased its market development activities and broadened their bass to include more produota and industries. Today we ore promoting lead througha greator var.ety of aalea promotion and research activities than ever before but there are still many more opportunities and the industry oan never afford to become complacent. There la always the posslblity that some day an industry using substantial amounts of lead now may follow the path of white lead and foil. Major 195*6 activities of the L.I.A. are sumarized here anl more details will be found in the reports of the various Divisions and Committees presented at the Annual Meeting. GEJJERAL 1. In 1956 we circulated over 350,000 pieces of literature, 2. Headquarters were moved to Joint space with the American Zinc Institute. 3. A successful annual meeting was held in St. Louis, including s half-day session held Jointly with the Zinc Institute. h. Our magazine LEAD was re-established as a quarterly publication with the mailing list at about 50,000, 5. Annual review articles on lead wore written for "Engineering & Mining Journal,* "Iror. Age,* *Stcd," the Tear Book of the American Bureau of Metal Statistics, end "Industrial Sc Engineering Chemistry." 6. Chapters on lead wore prepared for the encyclopedia Americana and for an economio geography textbook edited by a Dartmouth professor, 7. Statistical services were continued without major change, 6. 'Information Bulletins* were sent to members about once a month. HEALTH AMD SAfETT 1. Further progress was made toward substantially increasing the American Standard for maximum acceptable limits for load in tho air of work plaoet, 0*. legislative proposals bearing on lead hazards, inducting warning labeling, were followed and protested whore deumed advisable. 3. Rcsoarch on ohildhood load poisoning has continued and dose relations have been maintained with health authorities and pediatricians in principal cities. t rr yy x L,<7i **0 id. Annual Report -3** for the Tear 15*56 0 b. The paper delivered by Dr. R. T, Johnstone at our annual meeting wa distributed among industrial executives, physicians and hygienists. The Interest has bees ana ting. $. Three Health and Safety Bulletins were mailed to members. .6 The Manufacturing Chemists' Association has been alerted to the adverse implica tions to industrial chemicals, including lead compounds, inherent In the pharmacy laws of many states. 7. To minimise hardship to members, asslstanoe was rendered to the New Jersey Health Department in preparing forms for the required reporting of lead poisoning. .8 Publications relative to lead hoards have been watched and, where warranted, the attention of authors has been called to unduly adverse etctenants. METALLIC LEAD PTODUCT3 1. Our solder Committee is nearing completion of the Soldering Handbook. 2.
