One emplayea who has boen arystallizing rediun br coning in con-
tact with it for fifteen years tells me that his white count is never
ovor 4500, and while belistling this fact, ha admita that he le assily
suscentible to infections.
All electroscogão tosta to the prosence of radio-sativo
substances in the bodies of the peinters of Juninons diels were negative.
Trom the hove presented, 1 bolieve we are justified in
riving at the conclusion that an indectrial heserd does not ardat in the
painting of disla. The only evilience contreary to this
reste ou the fnet that tive employees n° the plant os the United
States Gorparation have died from somo essee that be deterwined
at this date. Statistionlly the evidenca is the assumption that
a hasard exists. If 1% not 90 wo would have overy reason to expeot
reporte of other casos anong the fov or five thounand giria who lava been
engaged in this warls in Burope snd in this conntry. Porthernore esses shoulda
hava modo their in factorios other thea the plans
as other pirle havo used the matoriale and have woriced ma long and in
may cases longur than the girls who died. In addition, more time hns slapsed
in somo of thaes casos atnoa the first expostare than hed elepend between the
first exposure and the date of denth of
any
of the Orange amployees.
ze ha girla who died all variced nt the nemo bameh
betwom the years 1917 and 1922. A diagnogia of ayphilia na a contriluctory
aypears on the desth cortificate of one of tham. Te ara informed on
good enthority that a brother of another hes from sas obstinate
pathologic for condition. never came in contact with radio notive padnts.
In other words, thees casos are hy ne mesna cloan eut. Vinemt's Angina has
been knom to produce a similer pathologic pictura, ending somotimos in death.
Rectorial infection hes not boen maled out in a antiefactory tenner. Other
wers present bosides excosure to radiva and mesothorium.
