ENGINEERS DEBATE
LICENSEQUESTIOH
Lively Discussion at First An
nual Convention of Engi
neering Council.
Organize'^ ~ engineers' of Amesloa
must l>e a steadying force in the
tendency to multiply legislation now
said to be sweeping* the country,
Gano Dunn, prominent New York en
gineer, told delegates to the Ameri
can Engineering Council of the Fed
erated American Engineering Socie
ties at today's session of the flrit
annual convention of thfe organization
at the Cosmos Club.
Mr. Dunn's speech came in the
midst of a discussion over the ques
tion of licensing engineers, .which
provoked the liveliest debate Of the
council's sessions thus far and which
was participated in by representa
tives of the leading- engineering so
cieties.
DlMcu.HMed tor Yen p.
For more than a year the engineers
ha ye beeq inquiring into the licens
ing question in every state and mett
ings have been held in various c.ties.
Some states have adopted laws re
quiring registration or.licensing of
engineers and others have the ques
tion up for consideration.
Decided opinion both for and
against the licensing of engineers
exists throughout tsie country, it de
veloped at today's session of the
council. There are some important
organizations and individuals, it.was
declared, who feel that the American
Engineering Council should endeavor
to sceure passage of laws licensing
engineers in those states that have
no such laws.
The majority, it was stated, feel
that there should be no such law.
Philip N. Moore of St. Louis, former
chairman of the war relief minerals
commission, declared his opposition
to licensing, asserting the principle
of the least government the better.
Maj. F. J. Miller of New York. pas*,
president of the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers, offered a reso
lution to refer the whole matter to
a special committee, which would
make a nation-wide investigation of
the question of licensing. This reso
lution brought on a discussion, which
promised to be protracted. It Mas
supported by Mr. Dunn, who de
clared that it would be unwise for
the council to take action of any
kind before ascertaining clearly what
licensing meant. He said that a
movement was now sweeping the
country and that the engineers must
stoop a little to escape being over
come by the storm. The licensing
idea, he said, was causing the same
concern to other professions and call
ings and he insisted that the path
must be clear and fre?? from doubt,
before embarked upon. Mr. Dunn de
plored the tendency to rush into leg
islation and called upon the engineers
to aid in checking it.
Before the question of licensing
came up. the engineers listened to a
statement of unfavorable conditions
in tiic mining industry by prominent
mining engineers and producers. Ed
win T. Ludlow of New York, president
of the American Institute of Mining
and Metallurgical Engineers, said
that conditions were bad in the basic
industries of copper, lead and zinc.
Mines were shut down or running on
short time, he said, and thousands of
mining engineers were out of employ
ment.
Others Tell of Depression.
Maj. Arthur S. Dwight of New York,
Philip N. Moore of St. Louis and J.
Parke Channing of New York also
told of the depression in the mining
industry.
The council voted to press its cam
paign for reform of the patent office.
Following adopt ion of a resolution
urging the passage of the Lampett
bill, the council decided lo arrange
for tiie appointment of a special com
mittee to work with its patent com
mittee. Speakers insisted that if
Representative Mondell knew the
facts he would not delay the pro
posed patent office legislation.
Another matter coming before the
council today was the question of
finance. The budget prepared by the
finance committee revealed that,
owing to business conditions, sharp
economies must be effected.
The new executive board of the
council tomorrow will organize and
map out a constructive program, in
which the engineers have the sup
port and counsel of Secretary of Com
merce Hoover.
Elimination of waste, now causing
billions of loss annually to the Amer
ican people. Is the most fundamental
of all problems with which the na
tion must deal. Seeretary Hoover said
last night at a dinner given by the
council in his honor at the University
Club. Approximately 200 members of
the council and their guest* attended
the dinner, at which Dean Mortimer
E. Cooley, president of the council,
presided. The council presented to Mr.
Hoover a copy of a resolution passed
by it In which he was extolled for
"the distinguished suocess which has
followed him in his past services to
his profession, his country and man
kind."
