JO H N P. E IB , Chairman Illinois Steel Company, Joliet, I1L
The first session of the Metals Section at the Nineteenth Annual Safety Congre convened with John P. Eib, Supervisor of Safety and Labor, Illinois Steel Joliet, Illinois, presiding.
Opening Remarks by the General Chairman
By JOHN B, EIB Illinois Steel Company, Joliet, I1L
On behalf of your Executive Committee, I bid you welcome to the 1930 Congre and particularly to the Metals Section.
Your committee has worked diligently to prepare a program which we trust prove of interest and inspiration. Whether or hot our efforts have been worth wh depends entirely on how much the members want to get out of the meetings.
The work of the National Safety Council is entirely cooperative. If we fail get enough out of these meetings it is often because we fail to put enough into the so. in bidding you welcome I also want to urge you to participate. These mee are yours and your officers are merely endeavoring to follow your wishes.
At this point in the program it has been the custom to present a review of activities of your Executive Committee since the last Congress.
The first conference of your committee was held in Chicago immediately follo| ing the Congress with the thought in mind of obtaining reactions from the prog just concluded.
This was followed by a meeting of the Executive Committee at Council hea| quarters on December 10, 1929. This being the first get-together after the Congre

The first session of the Mining Section of the Nineteenth Annual Safety Congr convened with H. C. Henrie, Phelps. Dodge Corporation, Bisbee, Arizona, presidr
Chairm an H en r ie: As chairman of the Mining Section of the National Saf Council it is my pleasure to extend to all of you a most cordial welcome to Mining Section Safety Conference. It is indeed gratifying to see such a large representative assembly of those who have an interest and a part in the Industr Safety Movement. This Mining Section of the National Safety Council was org ized on October 20, 1915, just fifteen years ago. The increasingly larger attendan from year to year at these annual conferences is sufficient evidence of the r* worth of the cause to which you have devoted yourselves and the democratic ch* acter of the institution which we represent. ' I am more and more impressed with the constantly increasing interest which -; being manifested in the Safety movement and with the results which are being tained, especially in the mining industry. It was only a few years ago that we difficulty in convincing people that accidents could be prevented and were no necessary by-product of industry. Mining has always been regarded as, and is,^ hazardous occupation, yet I believe it is evident from the results which have b ' obtained by different mining companies in various sections of the country Accident Prevention work, when properly organized and administered, will result", making mining operations and the occupation of mining as safe as the great majo~ of our other industrial activities and occupations.
We are beginning to realize that Accident Prevention work is not a thing ap_ in itself but rather is an essential and integral part of economical production. ItJ a matter of record -that those companies which have made a real test of the of organized accident prevention work have benefited in increased efficiency, econo in operations, improved employee relations and a decrease in their accident rate ' a degree never before deemed possible.
While definite progress has been made in reducing the accident rate in the miindustry, there is still much to be done before we can feel satisfied.
Your Program Committee, of which Mr. Harrington is chairman, has prepay what I consider to be an exceptionally worth-while and well balanced program.
I hope that this Conference will bring to you many new ideas and prove to source of inspiration and renewed enthusiasm, and I also hope that you will contrib" your share in making these meetings a success by participating in the discussions.1.
The first order of business is reports of the various standing committees; fi the Membership Committee, Mr. Budd.

The first session of the Power Press Section of the Nineteenth Annual Congress convened with S. H. Slaymaker, Fairbanks, Morse & Co., Beloit*^ consin, presiding.

Press Clutches
By M. E. W ID D E L L Chief Machine Designer, American Can Company, Cincinnati, Oil
SgS In discussing press clutches, we will confine ourselves to clutches used on size presses, approximately 10 to 65 tons capacity. Up to 1923 the American Co. used on these sizes of Presses almost exclusively the straight pin type o t d but with greater demand of production and consequent higher speed require these Presses, the repair costs on the pin clutch became so great that it was id to design a different type of clutch, and the result was what wq call thdg
style of clutch.
To begin with, we will endeavor to explain the difficulties with the straight
clutch which were mainly responsible for the designing of the Canco clutch,yw
is of the hinged pawl construction.
jwT
F igure No. 1.
Ul This drawing shows a plain view looking from the Press side through the| collar on the shaft of the so-called pin clutch. It will be noted that with the s pin (1) in the fly wheel and the locking pin (2), it is not possible to arrangi more than three striking points, which at high speed production is not sufficiejf while the press fly wheel may be running at considerable speed, neverthele time lost between the tripping of the latch (3) and the engagement of theljC pin with the striking pin is considerable. If the operator happens to trip thisj in such position of the fly wheel that it is necessary to wait one-third of a revqp before actual engagement between the fly wheel and the clutch takes place, a n d ^ been proven by actual experience that with two operators of equal efficient; operator using a Press with the new Canco style of clutch having six engag points produced so many more pieces per day, that the operator using a press

Wednesday Morning Session
October 1, 1930
V IN C E N T W A K E F IE L D , Chairman City Ice Company of Kansas City, Kansas City, Mo.
The first session of the Refrigeration Section of the Nineteenth Annual Congress convened with Vincent Wakefield, City Ice Company of Kansas City, sas City, Missouri, general chairman of the section presiding.
Chairman W akefield: The first item on the program is the report of th(f eral chairman. I do not propose to weary you with any long and extended There are only two or three points on which I want to touch. One is that a : able record was made by our chairman of the Membership Committee. We this year in a very enviable position of having had an increase of some 205 pe in our membership since the last Congress.
Another point is the report of the statistical chairman. The chairman of that"' mittee can only start to function after the meeting of the Safety Congress, as 1 to wait for a cycle of time so the figures can be collected. One thing this needs to do is to cooperate more fully and more thoroughly with the chair that committee by giving him these accident statistics in your industry so as to a broader spread and understand more clearly the causes and the degree of our tr f " The figures in one section or one state alone are of little value but if you g. figures throughout the country in forty-eight states, we will have some basis on:', to work.
The third point is the News Letter. This is the means whereby you and everybody else interchange ideas when we can, and if we have experiences aS; year goes on and have bad accidents, if we do not tell one another about combined experience is not of any particular value until we get down to the* Congress. If you have some new device you run across, or some bad hazard, or * depictable accident that happens in your plant, write to Mr. Fox. H e won't names. It may be that your letter may contain some experience or suggestion;, will prevent some loss of life or serious injury due to carelessness or negligen. oversight. I want to impress upon you that during the past year we have realljt had from the membership at large the degree of material which I personally the News Letter Editor should receive. I most earnestly request that every in the room send in some idea once during the coming year. If you do that we* have material to make a most interesting News Letter. Gentlemen, the next/ is a brief report by Mr. Fox, the Secretary of the Refrigeration Section.
E dward H. Fox (National Association of Practical Refrigerating Engineers;^, cago) : Gentlemen: Your committees have been functioning well for committ" an organization that is as new as the Refrigeration Section. On the progress _ by the Refrigeration Section, you will find, in the general report published byi council an excellent picture of what the section has accomplished thus far. siderable correspondence has been carried on between the members of the Exc Committee, Chairman Wakefield and your secretary which eliminated the nc of more than one meeting of the Executive Committee. This was held in the H , quarters office April 16. Committee reports were received and other business

J. T. K ID N E Y , Chairman T he G oodyear T ire & Rubber Company, A kron, O.
The first session of the Rubber Section at the Nineteenth Annual Safety Coil convened with J. T. Kidney, of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, Ohio, presiding.
Chairman K idn ey: The Rubber Section has done a good job, generally, f last few years, and as an indication of what a good job they have done on ac prevention I refer you to Ohio, where most of the rubber companies are 1; The rate on compensation was at one time very close to $1 per $100 of pa' Today that is down to between 47c and 50c, which has all been brought about thJ the experience of accident prevention in the rubber companies in Ohio. Afij same thing, I am sure, applies to the rubber companies all over the country.j'
So our work in the Rubber Section, in the last few years, has not been wi fruit.
W ith just those few words, I now take pleasure in introducing Mr. C. B. Mite chairman of our Engineering Committee, who will make his report for the y~
Annual Report of Engineering Committee
B y C. B. M IT C H E L L A
C hairm an
In previous years this Engineering Committee has been composed of a J number of members, usually three. The writer's previous experience as chai of this committee developed the fact that these three members could be 0? burdened with work, and therefore were unable to function thoroughly and to;' fullest extent. It also limited the facilities for carrying on the work. The thought that a much better showing could be made if the committee is not lin in its personnel, and have some person, preferably an engineer, from each me company to be part of the committee.
A fter corresponding with Mr. Kidney, chairman of the Rubber Section,,^ scheme was put into effect, and he furnished the writer with a list of alii member companies and their representatives. Each representative was informed the plan, and requested to submit the name of someone qualified to serve on;, committee.
At a meeting of the Rubber Section in Columbus, January 13, 1930, a resolu was passed to have the Engineering Committee submit at the next annual mee. a list of subjects upon which safety pamphlets could be written. To comply W this, each member company was written to for suggestions. Of all those wrl, to, eight replied, submitting suggestions as follows:

Resume of the Year's Activities
By C. F. LARSO N Missouri Pacific Railroad Company, St. Louis, Chairman
It has been said that "To save human life is the noblest of all purposes. It bodies the highest ideal of humanity. It conserves the best asset of the nation; P? vides its best protection and creates its real glory. It creates the spirit of demo and brotherhood."
There are two national organizations, the Safety Section of the American RaiN Association, and the National Safety Council, whose purposes are to save human lw to reduce accidents and save from harm, the employees in industry, the passe who travel by land or sea, or in the air. The men and the women in these org tions know that humanity is prone to tamper with conscience, excuse wrong, ma it a slight th in g ; arguing with ones-self that the act is not so bad after all.

Tuesday Afternoon Session
September 30, 1930
M. C. G O O D SPEE D , Chairman General Electric Company, Erie, Pa.
The first session of the Woodworking and Lumber Manufacturing Section of Nineteenth Annual Safety Congress convened with M. C. Goodspeed, General El; trie Co., Erie, Pa., presiding.
C hairman Goodspeed: I wish to take this opportunity to thank the memb
who have contributed to the success of this year's work. There has been a great*
deal of individual effort put forth, and the results will speak for themselves in
reports of the committees which will be presented to you.
-
For the chairman, I will simply call to your attention the fact that we held twq
meetings of the executive committee during the year. We endeavored to outlin
the work of the section and carry on so that the Council's service as a whole won
be worth while to you as individuals during the year.
I would like to make this suggestion: Think back and see if you have utilized
service which membership in this section can bring to you and your organizatio
If you have not, then plan to do so in the future. Also, have you called to
attention of your friends the benefits which they can derive from membership in the
section and in the Council? T hat will help your committees. It will also help the,
membership and it will help your friends in whatever they may be doing.
)
A t this time I can announce to you the members of the Nominating Committe
who were appointed by your chairman. They consist o f: Mr. G. E. Sanford, chair
man, Mr. E. Ross F arra and Mr. R. A. Shaw. This Nominating Committee
report at tomorrow's session.
I will ask now for the report of our Membership Committee, Mr. Pollock.
F. A. P ollock (Lumbermen's Mutual Casualty Co., Chicago; Chairman of th
Membership Committee) : I want to thank the Committee of twenty-three that,
worked with me. Also the other officers of the section and the members, as this ha
been a wonderful year as far as membership goes. There is only one regret;
lost 39 of our old standbys, but we have gained 70 new ones.
In 1927 the membership of our section was 403; 1928, 371; 1929, 375. Two weeks
ago the Council gave me a record of 400 and since then we have 6 more, making t-,
date a membership of 406 against the former high record of 403.
W e have ,had 39 cancellations which I believe next year's committee should work,
on and try to bring back along with the new members that they get. One thing,
we need more specific service. W e should prepare a safe practice pamphlet on treat-,
ing poles and ties, and others on logging, saw mills, lumber yards and pole handling.
Also, next year we should endeavor to get at least a film applying to our industry*
Q uestion : W hat is the general reason for these 39 cancellations ?
M r. P ollock : Hard times. About 50 per cent of these plants have shut down.
Several have promised that if they go back to work they will renew their mem
berships.
