Walter S. Paine. Manager, Engineering Department, Aetna Casualty & Surety Company, Hartford, Conn., who presided. Panel Discussion ' CHAIRMAN PAINE: At every meeting that I have attended in this Congress some one has raised the question of industrial dis ease. This is a subject which has beets maligned in some cases and has been a fan tasy on the part of others. This, however, should not in any way destroy the realities that are back of the industrial disease prob lem. In the discussion of this broad problem, we have asked the medical profession and the law to help tts this morning. Each phase of the problem will be discussed on an or derly basis. We have assigned as the first speaker (or each o( these subjects one of the men on this platform. After he lias finished his preamble, we will ask the members on the floor to present any question they may have on tlie subject. . We have the following subjects to be dis cussed : "Health Hazards in Spray Paint ing." Or. Eugene Walsh, Associate Super visor of Medical Service. International Harvester Company. Chicago, will open this subject. `Taiigue and Its Relation to Occupational Disease." This subject will be taken up by Dr. Norhcrt Enzcr, Director of Labora tories. Mount Sinai Hospital. Milwaukee. "The Toxic Limits of Common Solvents." This subject will he opened up by Dr. Eldon L. Belknap, of Milwaukee. "Lead in Industrial Processes." Dr. Bel knap will also handle this subject. "Skin Affections." This will be handled hy Dr. M. J. Reuter, Dermatologist ami Syphilologist, of Milwaukee, Wis. The last, bnt one of the most iuqiortant, will lie "Should Occupational Diseases Be Considered as Industrial Injuries?'' This will be handled by H. A: Nelson. Director of Workmen's Compensation Department. Wisconsin Industrial Commission of Madi>on. We all regret that severe illness keeps Dr. Paul Brelitn. Supervisor of Industrial Hygiene Unit of Wisconsin State Roartl of Health at Madison, from being present. The panel will be opened on "Kealih Hazards in Spray Painting." Dr. WaMi. Spray Painting DR. EUGENE WALSH: Painting i> a topic that has received considerable atten tion. There has been an increasing nunihcr of hazards imported into the trade. Mo-t of these have received wide attention, par ticularly in the past few years. It has U-ett incident to the wide use of the .-pray gnu and ot the lacquers, particularly. Many ui titc solvents-and products used in the paim industry have known toxicilics. Olliers arc in the experimental stage, so far a- tt,<- ai.,1 >0 far as their hazards to health arc con cerned. In the old days of brush or dip or dim painting, still widely used, solvents of rather low volatility were employed, and the haz ards associated therewith were not a> great. However, witen we come to the spray gun. particularly in its use in the recently devel oped lacquers, we come into a ho<t of m.w solvents. The quantities used per year m lacquers attd solvents in the paint industry in the United States rcaeh astronomical prti|mr* tion. Many, many tons are used. 5J i 2*5 ^ ^ ft ** 1" 5 sc 5-=-; -=Z -"V r'< I" s." 55 ^> ~ ^' .-i - -.S - s-^"*"1i='w o * - 5 t* '5--js : 5 U ' i.fl -._ ifl2 jjirf v = j -.3 - - g-s * ,,--5 s '" w -- s- 3 - .-! s 3 _ ~-^^=is=-= * i-r-3 " 3 ?5.2 -JS 3 = zllillsi -i.VAUt& -3 -- - 'x 0 >-- = v Z cl-i-izl-z* s s2 s ; .J3 * - -- U2i . <5 a****? ?| --~. *vr.: -sZ -?sz; 3s:--n r----Z Wi'.S-- . = -4 2 -w;= S- w3 ---s e i^w ?. 2 5Z 5-5 &5J5 = = 2o Z * * 3 x= * 2 "s = 4 a?=isp .SS^2.2Js^ i 5 - s i*- == i j i 2 3=-2 y 5 X - - = - 5 -j - >. = = *' M - 8 5- g >. 2.2 r o` >. - s < -2 -3 = i = ,, = f- -2 n a.y ; -- -S 2 :(-8:-s0^rS = - - 2 - .s 3 y 5 ? _. 4 3 = |J l-i.s-j - | = .s ^ "-=*-3^.=o '5 To ^ ; 2 :-;s! 1 ,-J IS 2 =|-| 5'J = = " 5 - w = =7#-5"r=--i 3ia-=8.s;^3-i = *3 5 u a'" > w -- _ vlj:if i.s I nil irfrs^gsii-^ * _ _ _ n -d -= * -- rt if i - i> S s li3|l.JJ3a5S"-.a.S85-51S3S3Jii'n-5 5J 1p=4-ss,?i V 2s 7. < 5-> 2 - 2 v 5 5 \ i X. - *-= 1 - 5 5 <6x0 U t/l .

BELKNAP: The question is, The American Standards Association ha* whether toluol is really as toxic as 1 inti* a committee at work in this field, with a mated it might be. being permissible in only small subcommittee. Wc have just finished 200 parts per million. Is that right, Mr. dealing with two gases and two volatile sol Gumaer? MR. GUMAER: Yes. DR. BELKNAP: As far as the oiTicia! authority of that is concerned, it is taken from the code for sate concentrations of certain toxic substances used in industries, whose authors are Bowditch, Drinker, Hag gard and Alice Hamilton which appeared itt the June WO issue of the Journal of In dustrial Hysiene and Toxicology. I do not know whether there is any prac tical experimental work hacking that up, hut inasmuch as toluol and xylol are very closely related to benzol, I assume that the authors fell that it as yet couid not be given an entirely sate record, for instance, com pared to gasoline. I will say, among a group of workers who have been working with adequate protection for ftvecnl years v*ih toluol solvents. I have seen no'ceneSd reaction. vents. carbon monoxide and benzol and car bon disulphide and hydrogen sulphide. There we have been able to get pretty accurate figures because wc have data to go on. Wc arc now trying to deal with twelve others which arc going to be increasingly important in the munitions industry. Wc hope to he able to give out more accurate figures tiien. Hut it is a very difficult prob lem. You see the only way wc can get any accttratc figure is by having a combined .inquiry made by the physicians, the chem ists anti the ventilation engineers, because wc have to know how many cases developed in a given workroom at a givCu concentra tion, atirl also at what concentration do no cases cotne. Wc could do that with the four I have mentioned, but it means, as you see, a great deal of carefttl study in the factory- and in the physicians* examining room. Bringing those two together, wc can do it with re DR. HAMILTON*: May I sneak to that' gard to lead: we can do it pretty well with for iu't a moment? That presentation tn regard to mercury, and we have pretty good. which Dr. Belknap refers was cut out data with regard to zinc oxide fumes in simpiv because a small group of us fell galvanizing iron and brass foundries and that c might as well let the public know zinc smelting: hut the rest of tin- substance* what was ottr best guess at cite present mo still are more or less in the realm of guess ment with regard to maximum allowable work. concentrations of the most commonly used solvents. It is founded very largely on guess work. CHAIRMAN* PAINE: May I. in your behalf and in behalf of the National Safety Council, thank the gentlemen on the plat The quantity of 1.0051 parts per million for gasoline is guess, and so is 200 parts of toluene.

The Effectiveness o Grade Crossing Protective Devices from the Viewpoint of State Authorities By WARREN HENRY Assistant Chief Engineer, Illinois Commerce Commission, Springfield. III. The art of grade crossing protection ha* made rapid advance in the past few year* and 1 Micve it is fair to say that the state of piiMh- opinion on this point lias advanced fully a* much. It was not long ago for in stance that a major obstacle m progress in this field scented, to some of it* at lra*t, the prevalence of what was often called the claim agent point of view, that t* an undue emphasis upon legal liability rather than on public safety.
