Industrial Alcoholism Is Discussed Workshop May Be Tentative plans for holding a workshop on alcoholism here next spring were made this week as'. leaders of labor and industry met to discuss the prob lem of alcoholism in industry. Plans for the workshop were related by' Willard. 0. Foster cpnsultaht and counselor on industrial alcpholism the State Department Hygiene, during a Thursday night'in the Algonquin Hotel.

The discussion dealt with whal management and labor; work- ing together, can do to" solve the problem of alcoh'olism in indus- try. Some 250 companies, Mr. Fos ter said, now treat alcoholism as an employe health.problem, believing that the disease should be' detected and in its early stage rather than, wait until it has a hold on a man. He said both labor and man- agement should look at alcoho- lism not as a labor or manage- ment problem but as. a human The subject, he said, should be brought out into, the open and treated realistically by making the individual aware of the consequences if he allows the disease to.progress.

of Mental i Mr. Foster said the reason why the employer not know.mbre about the prpblem is that alcoholism, to exist, must remain concealed. By the time plant managers discover alcoho lies, he said, the disease has already done its damage. He said it is estimated that alcoholics constitute from three to" five per. cent of the working force in an average industry.

Attending the conference were Dr. Harold Allen'and Lawrence E. Gripe, Amcelle plant of'Clea nese Kenneth Messmer, Sylvan a Woodrow Gurley, Allegany Coun ly Mental Health Society; Nick Cantone, I-ocal 26, Rubber Work ers; T.
