Industrial Poisoning

Arsenic is health hazard in hide
curing and leather work, some paints,
oilcloth, glass work, dyeing industry,
fur, and, of course, in the mining and
smelling of arsenic ores. In acute
poisoning with arsenic there are di-
gestive troubles, such as nausea and
vomiting; also abdominal cramp-like
pains, weakness, anemia. In chronic
cases the stomach and intestinal symp-
toms as we'll as the anemia and more
or less costant or come frequently in
the form of attacks. Dryness and ul-
ceration of the skin and of the respir-
atory organs and irritation of the
latter with catarrhs also occur. Some
times one or several nerves are in
volved and paralysis of the limbs may
be the result.
Brass workers suffer sometimes
from attacks of weakness, headache,
various pains, dyspepsia.
Chrome, used in the manufacture of
dyestuffs, paints and colors and other
industries, produces inflammations,
catarrhs and LESSONS of the breathing
organs and horrible skin alterations,

Lead poisoning is the most frequent
of the industrial intoxications. Lead
is used in nearly two hundred trades
and chemical processes. To mention
but a few: white lead manufacture.
paint manufacture, painting, type
foundry, printing, glazing, tinsmith-
ing, cosmetics, artificial flower max
ing, plumbing. Years ago, visiting
some white lead factories in Brooklyn,
was astonished to see the careless
ness with which the lead dust was al
lowed to be inhaled by most of the
workers-they were actually drowned
in clouds of it--and the fumes of mol
ten lead surrounded the men from all
sides. Even where masks were used,
they were really Of little help in that
ocean of poison. l learned later that
this condition was not an exception,
but the rule. Many workers can keep
their jobs but a short Cine. Those
who are not rendered invalid from
lead poisoning often become otherwise

Two directors of Russian Oil Pro-
ducts have been deported from
Great Britain by direct order of the
home secretary. Since the raid on
ARGOS and the termination of Off
cial diplomatic and commercial re-
lations between the two countries the
British government has sought in
many ways to interfere with the work
of Soviet trade officials that remained
in the country. Russian oil has been
underselling British oil and the
British oil barons have been pressing
the government to interfere as much
as possible with the Soviet officials
handling the distribution of the oil.
Of course the government claims
that the two directors deported had
this treatment meted out to them be-
cause of alleged interference in the
internal affairs of Great Britain. The
real reason however is the successful
competition of Russian oil with the
products of Rolal Dutch Shell.
