of the country, the farmer, is sub
.iected while blowing or such work, to
tremendous dust concentrations OF the
most insidious nature; pure silica dust.
These concentrations exceed many
times those you folkes encounter in
your work, particularly in the pottery
industry.
There have been code limits set for
many industries. In other words, the
various state authorities have investi-
gated conditions of work and studied
statistics after which they have esta5-
lished what they consider to be safe,
fair working conditions. Granite work
ers, 10 million, foundry workers in
general 30 million, workers inside
abrasive cleaning rooms 10 million
PPCFA. More of these limits are
shown on the table which l can show
you.

More lately / have been appointed Il
member of the advisory committee to
the New York State Department of

When Mr.. Gould invited me to adj
wise the Buffalo Pottery Company on
it's work and to direct the cOmpany'S
effort to control dusts, gases and
fumes, and after / had talked with
some of your committee members, l

The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1943-03-25

to the state authorities to review. We
are fortunate in one respect, and that
is that we have Il State Department
of Labor which is probably years
ahead of its time as compared
with most states. We have their ap-
prOval so far-we have all of your
approval and enthusiastic assistance
and we will succeed.
Why Are We Doing This In The
Pottery Industry?
We are doing this because excessive
dust concentrations in your industry
can be harmful. Because the most
sensible approval to such Il problem is
a joint engineering and medical study
participated in jointly by representa-
tives of management and workmen.
Two field studies have been insti-
tuted by the United States Public
Health Service. First in 1919 and next
in 1886. In the intervening II years
great changes were observed in work
ing conditions. Substantial engineering
progress was made and various meth
DDS of interpretations have been per-
fected by the medical profession.
AS a result we wish to take advan-
tage of these data and improvements
There are certain general rules which
wOrkmen should follow. These will be
given before the meeting is over. Mr..
Gould, DR.. Good and l each have a
deep responsibility, and so have you.
All employees have a share in avoid
ing practices that create dust, and in
operating dust control at its full efli-
cheney.
How Have We Gone About 1t?
We have started an Industrial Hy-
giene fact finding study based on IA
program which is now taken up with
you. DR.. Good has been consulted SO
that his medical observations will COM
plete the general picture.
We have established 3 major OBJ
jectives, namely:
Ito determine The threshold limits
of dust concentrations which should
be set for the future as safe limits.
10 determine what the conditions
are at the present lime throughout the
plant.
3-To prepare and present such
recommendations for remedial action
as will bring conditions in the plant
down to the proper levels.
Toward that end we have taken
about forty dust counts throughout the
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1943-03-25

plant with conditions as they are and
people working normally.
We have contacted the New York
State Department of Labor where we
have submitted our program for ap-
proyal, inquired about the work status,
and such data as is available on
threshold limits.
The program has been discussed
with DR.. Good so that the plant medi-
cal work can be co-ordinated with
these engineering studies.
What Have We Found Out?
The following:
THAT plant practices at Buffalo
Pottery have been changed and have
kept pace and even kept little in
advance of the general improvements
noted in Public Health Bulletin No.
pa in the last twenty years-because ::
a.-Materials are obtained wet.
b.-All materials are sized and are
coarse.
c.-Beddins is washed sand instead
of flint.
d.-Sand blasting is controlled and
under suction.
e.-There is no white lead in glaze
use all frtted materials
almost alt floors in the plant are
concrete which may be kept clean.
g.-Thc pug mill has been moved out
of the clay shop downstairs
h.-The plant has been, and is being
painted and cleaned up.
i.-Better lighting has been, and is
being installed
j.-This study has been Instituted.
ABOUT forty dust counts have al
ready been taken. These as we might
reasonably assume, have shown some
places in the clay shop which need
ventilation.
The need for better housekeeping is
evident. The need for more personal
cleanliness in regard to workmen'S
clothing is evident Also, we know that
we must re-vamp certain exhaust
systems now in Use. Then finally we

represented freezing, 20 degrees in
general is comfortable and so degrees
and above is hot. However, the indus
trial heat engineer works many times
thousand degrees of heat or talks
equally glibly about two or three hun
dred degrees below zero.
Likewise, humidity or moisture in
the air is expressed as relative humid
ity. We know that a relative humidity
of 304O is comfortable while below
| these limits is considered as dry and
above these limits is considered damp.
In thinking of gases or fumes, we
speak of so many parts per million.
Lead contaminations, nitrous acids,
benzene, chronic acid, all have limits
below which we consider good prac-
tice and above which we try to avoid.
And so in dust control work we have
our own measuring stick. We express
our control in terms of millions of
particles per cubic of air. This de-
termination is made by means of Il
little vacuum pump Quilt into Il unit
called an impinger) whereby Il mea-
Sured quantity of air is drawn through
Il liquid generally alcohol or distilled
water) where the dust is trapped.
Then Il measured volume of this fluid
is placed under microscope and the
actual dust particles are counted. This
count is then reduced by formula to
the term / described, namely, millions
of particles per cubic foot of air in
our country and thousands of particles
per cubic centimeter in other countries
using the metric system.
General Dust Conditions In Industry
We can pass over atmospheric or
every day dust concentrations and do
! meStic dust concentrations rather
quickly. You might however, be inter-
ested to know that on a busy corner in
downtown Buffalo the dust counts
may be 10 to IS millions of p. per CT.
of air, that in dusty parking lots this
count may be 20-25 MPPCF. Converse
ly the air around Perrysburg or in the
meadows of Chestnut Ridge Park may
go under one MPPCF. In the arid dis
stricts of Arizona the counts would be
probably 2OO-3OO thousands of parti-
cleS per cubic foot. And, so here in our
ordinary air we can see before us
examples of dust counts from only
200 or so thousands to many million
PPFC. We can even 90 to the eX-
treme and imagine standing leeward
of an industrial stack and catch the
full benefit of 5000 million PPCF.
The housewife in her daily duties
is sweeping, house cleaning, vacuum
ing, or the like, is subjected to tem-
porary dust counts or many millions
of PPCF. You have all probably
noticed streamers or cobwebs flying on
the walls near the ceiling of your own
homes. l have, but don't be alarmed,
they are only millions of small dust
concentrations which have agglomer-
ated. Whoever cleaned the house can't
help it.
And then you will probably be both
surprised and interested to know that

tive weekly DfOaucaSI OIL HIS LdDoI
News Review program, over Station
WJSV of the Columbia Broadcasting
System. Dennis has scored numerous
world news beats in the 9 years his
program has been on the air. He
called the reappointment of Secretary
Perkins, in both 1887 and 194l, when
it was generally thought she would be
dropped; and he said, 9 days in adj
vance of the official announcement,
that Chairman Davis would head the
new War Labor Board, and gave other
accurate details, when most people
felt certain that Davis would not be
carried over from the old to the new
board. There have been many rumOrS
regarding Secretary Perkins, but Den
mis- says "it can now be reported that
Il change appears to be in the MAX
ing" He has not repeated the various
rumors of the past.
NeeIy To Fore
"The war has brought set of cir
cumstances which has developed an
undercover clamor for change" Den
mis- said and he revealed for the first
time in any public manner the fact
that Matthew Nj. Neely of West Vir-
ginia, another so-called lame duck, y
but one regarded as friendly to labor,
has quietly edged to top consideration.
In a special commentary on the sub
ject of "Who VIII BE the New Secre-
tary of Labor?" which was quoted
nationally by the news services, Den
mis-, regular commentator on labor,
industry and economics for WJSV'
CHS, had this to say:
''John G. Winant, our ambassador to
England, has been considered = and
very favorably. Many believe he would
make an ideal Secretary of Labor. The
British, however, say he is doing a
splendid job as our ambassador and
should remain in London. Many here
share this view.
Strong Backing For Steelman
"a large group favOrS the advance
ment of DR.. John II. Steelman, who
has done an outstanding job as direc-
tor of the Cancellation Service. He
would be generally acceptable to labor,
to industry and to the general public.
Many believe he would make an eX-
ceptionally good Secretary of Labor.
But DR.. Steelman has not engaged
in politics. His value as a political
asset would have to be largely over
looked. That could be done, of course,
and it is widely believed politics could
well be left out of that kind of an
appointment.
But there is new political angle.
One which has not, so far as / know.
been made public until right now,
Matthew NJ. Neely is said to be after
the job of Secretary of Labor. Regard
less of his personal ambition, he Is
available. Also, it is known that a
powerful group is now endeavorins to
pave the way for his appointment.
Choice Between Two
Anyway, if Secretary Perkins is
moved over to the Federal Security
Agency, as contemplated, and it is not
feasible to name John &. Winant, then
the probable choice appears at this
time to lie between Dr.. Steelman and
Matthew NJ. Neely, as the new Secre-
tary of Labor"

Now everyone knows that to get the good
out of the food you eat-you must digest
it properly. But what most people don't
know is that Nature must produce about
two pints of the digestive juice-liver
bile-each day to help digest your food.
If Nature fails-your food may remain
undigested-lie sour and heavy in your
digestive tract.
Thus, it is simple to see that one way
to aid digestion is to increase the flow of
liver bile. Now, Carter's Little Liver
Pills start to increase this flow quickly
for thousands-ofte in as little as thirty
minutes. When bile flow increases, your
digestion may improve. And, soon you're
on the road to feeling better-which is
what you're after.
