URGE SIGNAL USE
IN ALLF0UNDR|ES
Safeguards Lives and Promotes
Efficiency, Convention
Here Is Told
DELEGATES WIVES SEE CITY

Call for signals In foundries for the
safeguarding of life as well as for in
creased efficiency was sounded today by
Professor vladimir Karapetof. of
Ithaca. n. Y, at the meeting of the
American Foundrymen Association
and Institute Of Metals in the Bellevue
Stratford ballroom.
Signals, he said, are Of tremendous
Importance and should be put In every
foundry.
Efficiency is served by the use of
signals" he said, land the lives of
workmen are safeguarded.
"A foundry without signals is like
the ocean before the use of wireless
telegraphy. The ocean then was full
of dangers and the voyager was left to
his own resources. But wireless took
away many of the dangers and made it
possible to give help quickly when help
was needed.
''The roar in a modern foundry can
well be compared with the ocean.
Signals are the best method of meeting
the difficulties presented"
There was some discussion of the kind
of signals needed. It was suggested that
bells be connected with wires and used
with some simple code. Professor Ka-
rapstoff did not think that the auto
voice device could be used successfully.
Among the papers read today were:
Foundry Sand Handling Equip
ment," by H.. l.. McKinnon. of the
c. O. Bartlett & Snow Company,
Cleveland; Concrete Foundry Molding
Floors" by II. H. Haley, of the Ameri-
can Foundry Equipment Company. New
York. and The One Best Way to Do
Work" by Frank B. Gilbert, of Provi-
dence, r. l.
Some of the papers at the steel ses-
sion were Electric VS.. Converter
Steel" by John Howe Hall and G. r.
Hanks. of the Taylor Wharton Iron and
Steel Company. High Bridge, N. Y.
Effect of Sulphur on Steel Castings" "
by Prof. A. f. White. of the Uni
versity of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and
Comparison of Costs of Electric and
Open Hearth Furnace Practice" by
f. II. Ballard, General Electric Com
pany. West Lynn, Mass.
w. A. Jansen. chairman of the
| American Steel Foundries, Chicago,
read the report of the association on
steel Foundry Standards.
Wives of the foundrymen took al
automobile trip through Fairmount Park
this morning and then rode to Valley

Many of the visiting foundrymen this
afternoon visited the Baldwin Locomo
tive Works and the Westinghouse Elec'
trio and Manufacturing Company's

HOG ISLAND STRIKE
PLAN CALLED OFF
Workmen Assured Arbitration
Board Proposal Will Be Ac-
cepted by A. !. S. c.
U. S. WILL NOT BOOST PAY

Today was the day set for the strike
at the Hog Island shipyard, but there
will be no strike.
Representatives of fifteen unions met
in the Parkway Building last night to
consider the situation. Satisfaction was
expressed because of the agreement Of
the officers of the American Interna-
tional Shipbuilding Company to the
workmen's demand for an arbitration
board of ten, FIVE representing the
company and FIVE the employees. 1t was
said that this action removed the posi- :
bility of a strike.
1t was announced in Washington to =
day that if shipbuilding workmen at
Hog Island and other yards Of the Della :
ware river district expect an immediate
increase in wages as a result of the
expiration Of the Macy board wage scale
today they will have to get it from the
American International Shipbuilding
Corporation and other private owners.
The navy and shipping board, rep
resenting the governments interest in
the shipbuilding industry, again took
the stand that the government will not
assume or pay any part of an increase
above the present scale pending d de
cision of the forthcoming White House
industrial conference.
