MEMBERS WARNED
Remember Sick Brothers At
Christmas Time With
Cash Donation

Local Union No. 4 met in regular
session Monday evening at which time
several important problems We're up
for discussion. Chief among these was
Il report from practically every shop
of the unSanitary and dusty working
conditions. due To the fact that some
firms have paid little or no attention To
having floors swept after every days
work.
1t was reported that in some shops
the floors are swept only once a week
while in others the dust is allowed to
accumulate for two weeks ut time
The casters are required To shuttle
~ during this time. raising silica dust
in the air for all employees in those
departments TO inhale.
Once this silica dust enters the lungs
it does not come out, il remains there.
Ii is these filthy shop conditions that
are responsible for the large number
of clayShop employees who are afflict-
ed with SilicosiS, many of whom have
been forced TO leave their trades and
seek employment 1T some outside line.
While others are 50 afflicted with
SilicosiS To such an extent that they
are unable to continue working at any
other line of work.
We feel that this neglected dust CON
dtion is Public Enemy No. ! and some
drastic measures should be taken in
an effort 10 correct the menace.
\ voluntary collection was taken up
among the casters last month for the
purpose Of sending each sick member

greeting This is an annual custom
among the casters and we wish to
thank those who donated To this fund.
