Letters Sent to W.H.B. Dumont, May 22, 1925

May 22, 1925. Mr. W. H. B. Dumont, e/o Waterbury Clock Company, 30 Irving Place, New York City. Dear Mr. Dumont: I am following your suggestion and confirming with this note, points of our conference yesterday. One of the former operators in our Application Plant in Orange, N. J. has brought suit against us claiming that a jaw necrosis from which the is and has been suffering was caused by Radium poisoning. Since the State Compensation Board denied compensation in the case, the complaint is brought on the ground of negligence. We are at present organizing a defense which is to be handled by the "merican Mutual Insurance Company, Newark Branch, with the assistance of our counsel, Landabury, Depue & Faulits of Newark lihile the defense will be largely technical and medical and special evidence, one phase of it will be experience in other plants doing similar work. You will oblige me greatly if you will inquire at your Pactory in Waterbury whether they have ever heard of a similar condition and whether they would be willing to give us the assistance of some man who has been associated with your department for a good period of time and could testify that the conditions in Waterbury have been entirely satisfactory. Cordially, President. ARoeder-EDI
