March 24,1930. Dr. S. C. Lind, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minn. Dear Dr. Lind: This will acknowledge receipt of your wire of even date, advising us that it will be impossible for you to come to New York this week. We, of course, are sorry that such is the case, but appreciete that your program is well outlined in advance, and that you cannot always adjust same to meet urgent requirements that may arise. At the time the Canfield case was settled, that is the case that was scheduled to come to trial on March 10th, we had hopes that the two cases scheduled to start tomorrow would also be settled. However, our hopes did not materialize, and in view of the demands that are being made by the plaintiffs in these actions we are compelled to go to tricl. These cases are not being tried by the sane attorney who handled all the previous cases - in fact one of the basis upon which we settled the Canfield case was that he should in no way assist in any further actions against the United States Radium Corp. The plaintiffs cases are, therefore, in the hands of attorneys not particularly woll versed as to the technical side of this problem, and they will probably try the cases largely apor a legal standpoint, handling then much as they would an accident case. We are, therefore, sonewhat at a loss to know just exactly what their procedure will be, and it is rather difficult to outline our defense until we have knowledge as to the method they expect to follow. However, we must be prepared and I am glad to advise that both Drs. Schlundt and moore are available. On your next trip east we certoinly hope that you will take occasion to come in and see us or give us a ring, so that we may arrange for a luncheon or a visit with you. With kind regards, I am Sincerely yours, Vice Pros dent.
