PLANT SAFETY

URGED BY KNOX

Accidents. - Slow Defense Production, He Tells National Council.

CHICAGO, Oct. 9 (U. P.) —Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox

joined today in President Roosevelt's

warning that accident prevention is vital to the armament program, add-

ing that 1940 industrial accidents cost defense production four times

as much lost time as labor strikes. In a nationally broadcast address last night before 10,000 delegates to the 30th National Safety Congress, Secretary Knox called for national £o-operation in putting a stop to inustrial accidents which “cost a” billion and half man-hours of production” last year. Emphasizing the need for safety because of the urgency of all-out arms production for the foes of Hitler, Mr. Knox asserted that “the United States is the final and most important item on the Nazi agenda of unfinished business.”

Pleads for Democracy

“Until the present emergency arose,” he told the safety experts “your motives as leaders in the safety movement were humanitarian . .'. economic . , . and the promotion of efficiency. “Now a fourth motive has been added—and that is nothing less than the preservation of the United States of America as a democracy and as a world power. + “If we were ‘a Fascist state— which, sthank God, we are not toflay nor ever shall be—you would smash safety down the throats of your countrymen with a sledgehammer,” Mr. Knox added. “But you candot employ Hitler's meth-

at way.” { In a democracy, he said, the weapons of safety are education, example and an appeal to the patriotism and moral responsibility of the individual.

Asks for Co-Operation

! “The President’s proclamation (calling for a nationwide safety campaign) was a plea for co-opera-ion, not an order backed by the threat of the concentration camp,” Secretary Knox said. + In his comparison of lost production through strikes and accidents,

Jer Knox interjected an appeal to a

bor leaders and plant executives for “concessions in order that production may continue unimpeded.” Secretary Knox said that during 1940, 6,700,000 man-days were lost through strikes.

It’s a well-known fact that if a tree falls in a forest and there’s no one around to hear the crash, then the tree just doesn’t bother to make any noise. And that’s matched by a kind of heat that doesn’t bother to be heat at all unless there is something around for it to heat up. This heat, which has been developed industrially .and is now an important factor in speeding up defense work, is infra-red heat and a laboratory has been set up at 548 Massachusetts Ave. to show Indianapolis industrialists what this heat will do and how.

It Dries Rapidly Among other things it will do, of

i|Co. at Toledo began the production of Army jeeps at the rate of 32 an hour.

The paint on them is set and dried by the infra-red process

as they go down the assembly line.

No delays. Other defense use is being made of the new lights. The paint and lacquer on 37-mm. shells, being produced in Indianapolis, is dried by the new lights. . The heat that comes from these lamps is directed by. reflectors made

(of steel plated with copper, plated

with silver and finished with gold. Certain combinations and sizes of the infra-red lamps can generate heat up to 1000 degree Fahrenheit (hw) but for paint the usual intensity’ is around 250 degrees.

Penetrating Heat

The principle of the thing is that the heat penetrates the wet paint directly to the metal it covers and then bakes it back out to the surface. In air drying, the air forms a sort of dry skim over the top of the wet paint and thus makes it more difficult to dry. The Indianapolis Power & Light Co., and the Fostoria Pressed Steel Corp. 4hrough its local outlet, the Fostoria Industrial Service, have set up the laboratory which is open to

DOCTORS TO STUDY GAINS. IN MEDICINE

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn, Oct. 9 (U. P.).—More than 3500 physicians and surgeons will assemble here Monday for a four-day study of developments in medical science. Specialists will conduct clinical studies and lecture courses in con-

junction with the 26th annual International Medical Assembly. The courses will be supplemented by technical and scientific exhibits. More than 80 specialists from throughout the nation will lecture. Scheduled speakers include: Dr. Frank Howard Lahey, president of the American Medical - Association, and Dr. Evarts A. Graham, president of the American College of Surgeons. ° A clinical study of automobile injuries will be directed by Dr. John J. Moorhead of the New York Postgraduate Medical College. Dr. Paul A. O'Leary of the University of Minnesota graduate school will conduct a diagnostic clinic on ‘“Modern Treatment of Syphilis.” Lecturers include many of the nation’s outstanding specialists, selected not only for their position in medicine but for their ability to instruct.

ENDED AT GARY

9000 Return to Jobs After C. I. 0. Dues Collection Dispute Is Settled.

By UNITED PRESS Settlement of a C. I. O. dues collection dispute, involving 9000 men, permitted resumption of production on defense orders today at the Gary, Ind., tin mill of the CarnegieIllinois Steel Corp. but an almost identical controversy left 9100 men idle at Fairfield, Ala y after announcement of the Gary settlement last night, an inspection of union cards of night shift workers by the C. I. O. Steel Workers’ Organizing Committee halted work at the steel and tin mills of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Co. at Fairfield. The company reportedly closed its plants when the C. I, O. set up barricades and ‘stopped employees coming to work on the 11 p. m, shift. ‘The one-day walkout at Gary, which threatened to spread to an additional 40,000 workers of two Carnegie-Illinois affiliates, was precipitated by the arrest of a “dues picket.” Strike Hits Auto Plants

J: M. Darbaker, plant superintendent, in announcing termination of the strike, said it was agreed the company" would not interfere with “any lawful dues inspection” and the union would conduct the inspection in such a manner as not to interfere with production. Meanwhile, at Cleveland, Government Conciliator James F. Dewey sought a settlement in the nine-day strike of 1400 C. I. O. automobile workers at the Midland Products plant. This strike—for a 20-cent hourly wage boost—already has forced the layoff of 6000 men at the South Bend, Ind, Studebaker plant for lack of car frames. Automobile plants at Detroit and Toledo .are threatened with curtailment of proSuction unless the Midland dispute en At Houston, Tex, a walkout by A. F. of 'L. teamsters halted work on the Army’s $8,000,000 San Jacinto ordnance depot. Another ordnance project near Texarkana, Tex. was closed for the third day by a strike.

Bar Name Bands on Air

Negotiations to end a strike of railway express workers which has paralyzed all shipments in and out of Detroit since Oct. 4 were reported deadlocked. A dispute between the American Federation of Musicians and radio station WJAS at Pittsburgh forced cancellation of such big name bands as Benny Goodman and Russ Morgan from Columbia Broadcasting System's sustaining programs. The A. F. M. ordered five bands not to fulfill their network appearances when the WJAS owner failed to satisfy union demands for employment of a staff band for a minimum number of 44 weeks. Five hundred A. F. of L. molders working on castings for the armament program at the Western Foundry Co. Chicago, returned to work today after an eight-day strike.

‘them not to gamble for pennies at
