Roeder,\nUnited States Radium Corporation,\nUNITED TM CORP. STATES\n30 Church Street,\nNew York City, N.Y.\nDear Mr. Roeder;\nI received your letter this morning regarding expressing Mr. Stryker's\nfeeling about Miss Catherine Schaub. I have been very guarded in my remarks with the\ngirls for I felt that they may be trying to find out our feelings for the information\nof as you expressed it our excited friends.\nI am enclosing a letter I have received from Dr. F. M. Legge in response\nto one of mine asking him if he thought that the blood picture 3.8 drawn by Dr Rosher\ncould be considered a normal picture for the English working girl as it did not cor-\nrespond to our own findings in this country. If I had gotten the same picture on the\ngirls that I had examined here in America I should have been a little worried. His\nreply speaks for itself as to jaw necrosis. I cannot but feel that there is something\nsomewhere that we have not gotten to the hottom of and that was why I felt that if the\nInsurance Company could make a reasonable settlement it might be the better way out.\nAll of my findings are negative, but it is very hard to explain the cases in your fac-\ntory without having the medical history of each girl and of course e cannot get that.\nBut no one can possibly say that any one knew about such an industrial hazard\nand if it were not for the cases referred to, any one would be forced to say that there\nwas no hazard from my work. That of course will be my testimony and I shall refuse to\nbe\ndiscuss any cases that I have not expmined because it will be well not to drawn into\nan augument about ahmatter that no one knows anything about.\nCordially\nTrederch B.Flum"
