Industrial safety code conference

A conference on Industrial Safety Codes was held at the Bureau of Standards, Washington, D. C., on December 8, 1919. In the absence from Washington of the Director of the Bureau, Dr. S. W. Stratton, the meeting was called to order by Dr. E. B. Rosa, who summarized the events leading up to this conference and referred especially to the proceedings of the similar conference held on January 15th, of which this in a sense was an adjourned meeting. The principal subjects which came up at the January conference were the reorganization of the American Engineering Standards Committee, and the question of whether the safety work of the Bureau of Standards should be conducted under the scheme of procedure laid down by that committee.
