REPORTS OF THF SFCRFTAFY AND TP.EASURFR
The reports of the Secretary ana Treasurer, as per Exhibit nA" attached, were read and approved.
SEAL OF APPROVAL
The Secretary requested anc received permission to in clude in the record an exact reproduction of the Seal of Approval to be used by manufacturers of extruded lead products after Janu ary 1, in connection with the Lead Industries Association License Agreement. Copy of the Seal of Approval is attached as Exhibit "B".
RESEARCH: UNIVFESITY OF MINNESOTA
A request for financial assistance from the University of Minnesota in the development of a magnesium-lead alloy to be used as ammunition in solving the problem of lead poisoning among water fowl was reviewed. It was contended that many ducks die each year from lead poisoning contracted by swallowing lead bird shot in lieu of gravel. The shot remains in the duck's gizzard and causes lead poisoning. It was claimed that a magnesium-lead alloy would disin tegrate quickly and net affect the duck.
Although the Board expressed sympathetic consideration of this problem, it was agreed that information on the importance of the problem was insufficient as yet to take proper action.-
APPRENTICESHIP TRAINING
The Board discussed a request for assistance received from the Advisory Board on Industrial Education of the Board of Education of New York City, a request which had been circulated to the membership under date of December 3, as in Exhibit "Cn at tached.
It was felt that so far as the apprenticeship problems affected the labor used in the mines, smelters and factories, no apprenticeship problem of much moment existed, but that with refer ence to the apprenticeship question affecting the use of various lead products, particularly In the plumbing, painting and lead burning fields, there was an important apprenticeship problem.
Without objection, it was suggested that the Secretary be permitted to make overtures to the plumbing, painting and lead burning organizations, and to offer to cooperate with these Associations In their apprenticeship problem.
AIR HYGIENE FOUNDATION OF AMERICA. INC.
The Secretary explained the new basis upon which the Air
Hygiene Foundation of America, Inc., was established to conduct its
activities and,

BUDGET
The drafting of a budget for 1337, covering the Ordinary activities of the Association was next discussed.
It was felt that a budget cf $50,000.00 for the year would cover, so far as it was possible to foresee, the activities which should be properly included in the Ordinary Dudget for the coming year. The Secretary's suggestion that a technical survey would be very helpful in the chemical out lets for lead goods was favorably received but it was felt that this activity should be carried on under the regular bud get so far as it was possible to do so. If later on cevelcpments indicated that separate financing was necessary to carry on this work, the Secretary was to make a special solicitation from the Board.
The Eudget, as approved, follows:

To the Board of Directors of the Lead Industries Association:
To guide the Board in the determination of a budget for 193'!', a subject which is included in the agenda of the Board meeting scheduled for December 3, there is attached:
(l) A brief summary of the activities of the Lead Industries Association for 1936.
() A Treasurer's Report for the period January 1 to November 30, 1936, covering all the activi ties of the Association.
(3) A report of the estimated expenditures for 1936 in relation to the Ordinary Buaget for the cur rent year.
The Lead Industries Association is eight years old. One of the major purposes for which it was formed was to safe guard lead from substitution by other materials. It' is making noticeable progress in achieving this objective without either duplicating any existing activity of member companies and with out performing any task that might be done more economically or efficiently by a member company. The Lead Industries Associa tion is engaging in promotional work that should be done by some agency if the future of lead in many outlets is to be secure.
In drawing up the budget for 1937, I would recommend that provision be made for conducting a survey in the chemical field regarding the use of lead anticompetitive materials. This can be done without making any increase in the total budget. Lead is meeting increasing competition in this important outlet and there is not sufficient basic information available today among the lead sellers fully to meet the aggressive efforts of competitive non-metallic materials such as rubber, as we found out during this year, to Insure the continued acceptance of lead by the chemical manufacturing industry. We may not be able to ^engage in this activity without enlargement of our staff, tut I am hopeful that, possibly on a part time effort, we can obtain the information we desire, in which event I think a budget pro vision for a technical survey of say $4,000 should cover this project.
It is, of course, impossible to foresee how congres sional activities may affect our industries during 1937 and the provision to be made in the budget for this contingency.

The two special promotional activites of the Association, namely, (1) in the dumbing field, and (2) on be half of good paint and lumber, are being continued by the res pective supporters in our membership of those activities.
Through the action of the sheet metal manufac turers, the Association will probably be able to help promote the use of sheet lead architecturally in 1937.

RFPOF.T SUMMARIZING THE ACTIVITIES OF THE LEAD INDUSTRIES ASSOCIATION AND FURNISHING DATA TO
DRAFT 7HF BUDGET FOR 1937
1. Statistical - There has been no change of consequence on the statistical work the Association has carried on. A new form, estimating the total stocks of lead of all forms In the United States, Is being furnished members monthly.
2. Legislative - The Association has continued to act for its members in legislation affecting the lead industries, such as, reciprocal trade agreements, Robinson-Patman Act, Wheeler AntiBasing Point Bill, and miscellaneous contacts with numerous Govern ment Departments on health legislation, standards and other matters
An investigation we conducted during the year indicates that some means shoulc be found for bringing steadily to the at tention of various departments of the Government, especially ti.e emergency branches, the quality and characteristics of the lead products which are in demand by the Government so that, wherever competitively possible, the use of lead will be specified on Government projects. It appears that lead Is omitted in speci fications covering plumbing installations as specified by some important Government Bureaus. Lead is generally favored in paint ing practices, but even here there is an opportunity for improvemen
3. Medical Research - Owing to the extra requirements of the Har vard Medical School this year for their lead work, our budget for the current year was upset by some $4,000.00. The budget for 1937 should include an appropriation to continue Dr. Aub's work at Har vard in accordance with the program outlined early in 1936. This will amount to $2,000.00.
With the approval of the Executive Committee, we engaged in a Joint cooperative research program with the Evaporated Milk Association, and the British Tin interests. The program endeavors to ascertain the amount of lead found in cans of evaporated milk, it having been alleged that drops of solder, used in sealing the cans, contaminate the milk with lead. A full report of this pro gram will be presented to the Board after the work has been con cluded. Our participation in this program cost $200.00.
As similar health problems will arise from time to time, it is well for the budget in 1937 to make some provision for this contingency.
4. Publications - Our publication LEAD has grown in circulation during the year and a slightly increased appropriation will be necessary to maintain it. It continues to serve its functions admirably and has undoubtedly been the means of selling lead Jobs which might ordinarily not have gone to our metal.

SPECIAL PROGRAMS
1, Plumbing Promotion Program - A large amount of field work in the plumbing field was performed during the year. Three field men, one in the Fast, one in the Middle West, and one on the Pacific Coast, represented the Association and continued the work of enlisting the cooperation of master plumbers, journey man plumbers and water works engineers in the promotion of lead products. I believe it is far to conclude, as a result of re ports received in the field and from our members, that this work has been singularly successful in renewing interest in the use of lead for plumbing and that it has resulted in stopping the displacement of lead in favor of competitive materials. In fact, some outlets, such as the use of lead under bathroom floors and the use of lead in shower pans for water proofing, appear to be growing. The cost of the urogram during 1936 is estimated to be 16,500.
The Western share of this total expense was defrayed by special arrangement with the two Pacific Coast fabricators.
At a meeting of the members supporting the Plumbing Pro motion Program, on December 9, great satisfaction was expressed over the benefits that had already accrued from the plumbing work. A budget for 1937, totaling $36,000 was established. This repre sents an increase of $19,000 over the plumbing promotion budget for 1936.
2. Forest Products-Better Paint Campaign - This Campaign enlarged Its activities during the year to include two field men which made it possible to attend lumber conventions and district meetings that ordinarily would have been passed up. In addition, a trailer, furnished by courtesy of the Douglas Fir Plywood Association, has been used as a publicity medium, traveling through the eastern part of the United States on behalf of the Campaign and creating wide spread interest in the project. The entire lumber industry is united ip. support of this Campaign which is conducted on the broad principle of recognizing the use of either (a) white lead paint, or (2) high-grade prepared paints, as a solution of the painting problem on lumber. The Campaign has also received the strong en dorsement of the International Society of Master Painters and Decorators. In addition, the advice and help of the U.S. Forest Products Laboratory at Madison, Wise., was procured and the co operation given by the Laboratory was of great assistance. The cost of the program for 1936 Is estimated to be $3,000.
At a meeting of Decembe" 17, of the member companies
supporting the Campaign, its name was changed to Lumber ProductsBetter Paint Campaign and a decision was made to continue the work
In 1937 on the same basis as in 1936.

3. Sheet Lead Promotion Program - The Association is preparing a handbook for the use of architects and sheet metal workers on the use of sheet lead for architectural applications, believing that this outlet is one that affords promising possibilities, i'he manu script and sketches have been ready by such outstanding architects as Cass Gilbert, Cram & Ferguson, and leading sheet metal firms, so that we feel it will be an authoritative presentation.
In accordance with a program adopted at a meeting of in terested members on December S, a budget of $10,000 was appropria ted for sheet lead promotion. It is proposed to publish this"book in 1937 and the subscription will enable us at the proper time to employ one field man for the purpose of calling on the construction field to acquaint the industry with the merits of sheet lead. We have already had examples of jobs that have gone to lead by virtue of the publicity which the Association has released and now that antimonial sheet lead is competitive In price with other roofing materials and has, in our estimation, superior qualities to all of them, we believe that promotion work in this field by the Associa tion will bring substantial rewards.

Note: A budget of $50,000 was approved for 1936 of w'hich approxi mately $40,000 was to be subscribed by members and $10,000 taken from cash on hand at the beginning of the year. The record for the year shows it was only necessary to use $5,600 from that cash fund. The medical research expenditures were larger than originally con templated by the budget, whereas the expenditures for printing and mailing were smaller owing to the fact that our booklet on sheet lead for architectural purposes will not be printed until 1937.

MEETING a T 30a 3D 01' EDUCaTION, WOVjsMBaR 17, 1936, 7ITK REPRESENTATIVES 01 INDUSTRY Oli APPRENTICESHIP TRAINING
***
A meeting was held -under the auspices of the Advisory Board on Industrial education of the He* York City Board of Education on Tuesday, November 17, at 10 A.M. at the Hall of the Board of Education. At this time, representatives of all industries interested in apprenticeship train ing were present.
Mrs. Betty Hawley, Secretar" of the Advisory Board, opened the
meeting. She explained the provisions of the State education lav- callin?
for the appointment of advisory Boards and the powers of such hoards. She
also mentioned the section of the vocational education law providing for the
appointment by the New fork State Board of Regents of an Advisory Council
on Apprentice Training, Great interest has been shown -ecently in appren
tice training by both employers and labor. a s the Advisory Board is the
liasor. office between industry and the Board of education, it is within the
province of that office to bring together representatives of all industries
interested in apprenticeship training with the hope that the Board of Edu
cation might be a ole to assist them in training workers for their particular
industries.
The Regents advisory Council on Apprentice Training has been
holding hearings in other parts of New York State and have planned to hold
their next hearing in New York City on December 10. The-meeting was called
for November 17 so that those interested might prepare statements on appren
ticeship conditions in their individual industries to present to the Council
whan they meet. a s a result of all these hearings, the Council plans to
submit definite recommendations and sugyestions to the Board of Regents for
the drafting of apprentice programs throughout the State. It would be wise,
in presenting recommendations to the Council, to stress the necessity of
sounder pre-apprentice programs and a stronger tie-up between industry and
the schools for the last two vears of training. Vocational and industrial
schools are now four-year schools and more time is given to cultural and
related subjects.
Mr. Oakley Btimey representing the State Education Department, told o* the meetings held with employers and labor throughout the State by the Education Department to find out what the sentiment was in regard to appren tice training. There is an almost unanimous opinion that there is today the greatest shortage of skilled labor in certain trade lines that there has ever been. Supply of skilled labor from the old world cannot be depended upon any more. There lias been little, if any, apprentice training on the part of large corporations, for some time past. The situation is acute and the pub lic educational authorities are willing to assist industry. They do not intend to flocd the market. Eiey feel that as industry furnished the funds for public education, they in turn should be supplied with an adequate amount of trained workers necessary for them to carry on successfully. New York State has no general law relating to apprentice training but is willing to cooperate with any plan presented to them by industry ----- training for ore apprentice groups or supplementary training at night for those employed during the day. There is state money and federal money to help in carrying out this program, ?or all apprentices there should be some organized train ing on a permanent basis and whether business is good or bad, training of skilled workers should go on at all times.

Advisory Board, on Industrial .Education
The educational authorities want to know: Is industry, as represented by 'our individual organization really interested in apprenticeship? What do you want done about it? How can it be done?
Mr. Max Meyer, Chairman, Dsedlecraft Educational Conmission of the Advisory Board, said that he thought industry was not as aware of its problems as it should be. It had been found daring the establishment of the N.R.A. codes that employers, as a rule, were interested in apprenticeship because they sar a way through it of ^.-tting cheap labor. Plant training is all right as far as it goes but it means that a bov or girl is .just trained to function in a particular .job but hasn't any general mental attitude toward the whole problem of industry. The interest of employers must oe aroused so that workers can be given a chance to supplement the training they get in the shop. The cooperation of iniv.stry is necessary in vocational schools as teachers must be kept abreast of the changes.
Mr, Richard Deoew, a member of the aeronautic Educational Conmission of the advisory 3oard, stated that there was an increasing shortage of skilled labor in the aviation industry. The public trade schools have been cooperating in the matter of training workers f>r this industry 'out anything that can be done to give apprentice training to those already in the industry will be of benefit to all concerned.
Mr. -J. J. Mc&irrigls of H. Hoe & Co., Inc. said that they were very impatient to get something done in the way of this tvpe of training. The problem of the schools is to train boys to fit into a particular groove for which they are fitted instead of turning them loose with a highschool education and no particular training,
Mr. Daniel ''ebster, representing the Building Congress, remarked that it "ould be necessary in many trades to have the unions raise the limitations they have placed on apprentice training.
Mr. .Burney stated in connection with this that the State Department had been conducting surveys of employers and unions throughout the state to find the extent of interest. As a result of these findings, it is safe to state that 100 per cent cooperation can be expected from the unions.
Mr. Balls!sen of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce said bis organi zation is seriously interested in apprenticeship training, but in order to make this training in the public schools successful, a campaign mast be con ducted among parents to impress upon them that it is no disgrace for their chiliren to be rood mechanics and it is not necessary for all of them to be doctors, lawyers and engineers.
Dr. McDonald representing the Lithographic Foundation, said that they were 100 per cent in favor of any apprentice training that may be developed. Children should be trained for trade occupations just ns definitely as they are given training for professions. Employers have not eiven enough serious thought to this. It may be that some employers think public schools can not do this .job of training. Thev should remember that this is a new problem for public educators and that most of them have been trained in the academic side. They need the cooperation of industry so that they may provide the best possible type of pre-apprentice training. The public schools can givo extension training so that after a person has workedin the trade he can go bank to school and be given related subjects. This training cannot be given on the job as foremen are not trained to help apprentice nor are they teachers.

Advisory Board on Indus trial education
Hr. Leland T. Hanford, Member of the automotive Educational Com mission of the Advisory 3oard said that th,,re is a shortage of skilled workers in the automotive industry. There is no apprenticeship urogram being carried on in this industry, at present, 'out the public schools have been giving splendid cooperation in training workers for this field,
Mr. George Earl of the National Metal Trades Association said that there was no Question but that there was a definite need for voc-at'onal edu cation. Hie metal industry has concerned itself with this need for some time and intensive effort has been made in connection with this subject. The National Metal Trades Association has worked closely with the vocational school people. They have found that these schools are sadly in need of equip ment and what equipment they have is not enough to do the training that is required. Some attention should be given to setting up a definite curriculum. He mentioned the course in machine shop practice prepared by his organization and now used in the school system. The relation of the instructor to industry and the necessity for keeping in touch with the changes, should be kept in mind also.
The representative of the New York electrical Contractors Association expressed the interest of his industr:r in apprentice training and their cooper ation with the Building Congress. There a-e th~ee phases to be discussed - -- the question of ore-apprentice training, apprentice training in service and post-anorentice training. The apprentice training in service should be by some indenture form or other method that would tie it up to industry and the Depart ment of iiuevtion. " He recommended that industry be divided into particular trades so that each industry can work out an individual progr-m. There is & need of surveys in the industries to determine how many apprentices are needed immediately and how sqgtny to meet future growth. Committees from each industry should be appointed to make recommendations for that particular trade.
Mrs. Hawley, following Mr. Earl's line of thought, explained how the printing industry had met the need of the school for modern equipment. She also mentioned how the Advisory Board has brought the instructors into contact with industry through giving courses of lectures by industrial leaders. The Advisory Board has been able to have established extension courses for many industries. As far as the unions are concerned, they have been applying to have classes es tablished.
Mr. Turney said he agreed that parents and children should be informed of the opportunities that exist in trade training. The public schools of the state should have sound pre-apprentice urograms that will turn out students, ready for the opportunity to serve as apprentices. They should be given sup plementary training until thev arrive at the .journeyman stage and then exten sion courses to keep them alive to ns'- developments and methods.
An invitation was extended to all those present to attend the December 10 hearing of the degents Council and make a public statement on aup-entice training for their particular industries. The meeting adjourned at 12 noon.
