July 26, 1927.
Dr. S. C. Lind, Chairman of the Department of Chemistry,
University of Minnesota,
Minneapolis, Minn.
Dear Dr. Lind:
We are confronted with the proposition of building up a de-
fense against some five odd suits brought against us by girls employed
in the application department of our operation, during the period of
1917-1921 inclusive.
In this connection, it is quite possible that it will be
necessary for us to establish through scientific means the status of the
art at that time, that is, in reference to any knowledge which scientific
men might have had relative to any possible hazard connected with the ap-
plication of luminous material to watch and clock dials, etc, by brush.
We feel that we are being given a "bugg" ride", 8.8 it were, by these
people, as they are bringing suits against us to the amount of $1,350,000.
and the tactics which they are using are not any too ethical. Depend-
ing upon the opinion of our counsel, it may be advisable for some of us
to see you within the course of the next ten days or two weeks relative
to this matter, with a view of outlining our future procedure. Our
immediate object will be to ascertain your position on two or three scien-
tific points involved, only. I will, therefore, very much appreciate
your advising us by wire, collect, as to where we can reach you during
the next two weeks.
We trust that you will find it agreeable to render us this
service. With kind personal regards, I am
Sincerely,
HHBarker:MB
VICE-PRESIDENT.
