February 5, 1926. Mr. Sidney Mason, President, Welsbach Company, Gloucester, N. J. Dear Mr. Mason: I have your letter of the 4th. I do not believe that there is any basis provided by the Jersey State Compensation law that covers the Buckley case. A technical man in his capacity knows the hazards if any of his employment. We continued Dr. Leman's salary in full for six or seven months, not with any idea of a possible suit because we never believed that was a possibility, but because if any of our valuable men met with accident, we would take care of them. If I should be killed in a ferry accident tonight on the way home, there is no doubt in my mind that the company would contimue my salary for six months, etc. I believe that a joint defense should an action be brought against your company would not appeal to my directors. It is most unfortunate that I will not be able to see Dr. Miner this afternoon. I have a meeting of such importance that I cannot be absent which will take me away from the office. Hoping to catch him before he left Gloucester, I wired him as follows: IMPORTANT MERTING THIS AFTERNOON. WILL NOT BE IN OFFICE. If he comes over any way, Mr. Lee will be here to take delivery of the Mesothorium. If he decides to postpone his trip, I would be very happy to see him Monday or Tuesday and give him all my views in the various situations. Yours truly, President. ARoeder-HM
