Letters Received to C.E. Lee [C.B. Lee], September 26, 1928

27 Ophumbia Unitrersity Collente of and Surgeons EPIDEMIOLOGY 632 WEST 168m STREET, NEW YORK INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE PUBLIC HEALTH ADMINISTRATION INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC HEALTH SANITARY SCIENCE sept R6 1928 Mr C. E. Lee, United States Radium Corp., New York City, N.Y. Dear Mr Lee: I am enclosing two clippings from the American Journal of Public Health. of course the one about the Academy of Medicine is not news to you. It seems to me that it is time you and the clock companies got to- gether and collect the correct data so as to have it ready for the conference in Washington when it is called. of course as Mr Kjaer probably told you Miss Wilsy of the Consumers League has furnished the Labor Department the information men- tioned in the other clipping and of course we know how careful she is in making statements. I think we should be prepared to show her up in Washington in a quiet way. But the idea of saying that there have been fourteen cases déaths in your Orange plant and three in Waterbury is too much to lot pass. Especially as it is given out officially by the Government department. I feel that if the conference is held in Washington it will give us a chance to get our side before the doctors, health officials and public for the papers will be sure to publish the proceedings. Also they will be publish as an official document from the Treasury Department and I think you will find in the Labor Department. It would seem a chance to get the matter out in a sane manner and clear the atmosphere. I am going up to Waterbury next Monday to examine the girls. Dr Thompson head of the Section of Industrial Hygiene, United States Public Health Service is going to come up to and see how the examination is conducted. He may call. on you soon. Yours truly tredench B.T.h.m Frederick B. Flinn
