RADIUM LUMMOUS
MATERIAL CORP.
Mr. C. P. Lee,
United States Radium Corporation,
535 Pearl Street,
New York City.
My dear Mr. Lee:
I was consulted during the second week in
September by a Mrs. Canfield who wishes action taken a-
gainst the United States Radium Corporation. During the
last year, Mrs. Canfield has developed a jaw condition
which is similar to that of the five girls who sued and
those who have died. Dr. Humphries, to whom Mrs. Canfield
went, has told her within the last four months that her
trouble is due to radium. I had Mrs. Canfield tested and
her expiratory air is radioactive.
I have had several people come to me who
had formerly worked for the radium corporation and claimed
to be injured as a result of their occupation, and have
sent them away upon examination because I believe their
claims unfounded. I recite this because I want you to
know that I realize the position of the radium corpora-
tion.
I believe, however, that Mrs. Canfield is
justly entitled to redress. Both she and her husband
worked for the United States Radium Corporation. Mrs.
Canfield was employed under her maiden name of "Mae Cub-
berley." She was forelady at the Newark plant before
going to Orange. Would you be interested in doing any-
thing in her behalf without action taken?
Very truly yours,
Potter & Berry
