filly RECFIVED COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF LABOR AND INDUSTRY HARRISSURG July 13, 1926. United States Radium Corporation Mr. C. B. Lee, President, United States Radium Corp. 30 Churdh Street, New York City, N.Y. My dear Mr. Lee: Thank you very much for your letter of July 12 and the copy of Dr. Flinn's article on "Radioactive Material An Industrial Hazard" which accompanied your letter. I had a very interesting interview with Dr. Flinn a few weeks ago, at which time he told me a great deal about his investigations into the effects of radioactive substances on the workers using them. His study has certainly gone a long way toward clearing up the controversy on this subject. I hope, however, that his plans for periodic physical examinations of the workers he has had an opportunity to observe will not be stopped, as observation of the same workers over a period of several years would of course be a great deal more valuable than single examinations of these individuals. Appreciating very much your courtesy and your interest, I am Very truly yours, Elizabeth Elizabeth B. B. Bricker, Bricker M.D. Chief, Hygiene and Sanitation EB:S Section.
