STATE OF NEW JERSEY
DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
ANDREW F. McBRIDE
RECEIVED
COMMISSIONER OF LABOR
JOHN ROACH
571 Jersey Ave.,
deputy COMMISSIONER
Jersey City.
April 20, 1925.
UNITED STATES
U.S. Radium Corpora tion,
RADIUM CORP.
30 Church St.,
New York City.
Att: Mr. Arthur Roeder, President.
Dear Sir:
The State of New Jersey has been making an investigation
of cases of necrosis of the jaw bone that were suffered by employes
of your plant in Orange, N. J. In order to complete this report
we would like to have a complete copy of the report made by Dr. C. K.
Drinker, of Harvard Medical School, that was made for your company.
While we have a report of physical examinations made by Dr. Drinker on
a number of employes in your plant, we understand that, in addition,
Dr. Drinker made a physical examination of several of the employes in
your plant who were suffering from a necrosis of the jaw bone. We
would like a copy of the report on these cases to accompany the complete
report made by Dr. Drinker on processing operations and the physical
condition of employes.
In view of the very unusual character of the physical
disabilities that were suffered by these employes we are endeavoring
to follow up every clue that may throw light on the subject in order
that preventive measures may be taken. We feel sure that your firm
has nothing to conceal and that you will readily cooperate with us in
this humanitarian endeavor.
Very truly yours
JR/E
John DEPUTY COMMISSIONER Roach OF LABOR.
