Letters Sent to Dr. Herman Schlundt, June 3, 1931

June 3rd,1931. Dr. Herman Schlundt, University of Missouri, Clumbia, Mo. Dear Dr. Schlundt: I am herewith returning to you copy of letter addressed by you to Dr. Leake. I have an appointment with Dr. Leake in Washington tomorrow morning, at which time 1 am going to discuss with him my objections to the forthcoming report. My principal criticism of this report revolves around the point that of a total of242 people examined, 74 were employed since 1926, 134 prior thereto and 34 controls. The pertinent question at the moment is the con- dition of the industry as now conducted, and not as it was conducted in the past, for tre are all agreed that there was a hazard prior to 1926. It seems to ne that this report should deal primarily with the 74, and eliminate the greater part of the data dealing with those employed prior thereto. However, such is not the case, and it is difficult in reading the text of the r port to differentiate between their conclusions based upon data obtained on these two. different groups. I shall advise you further as to the result of my conference, and also send you at a later date tables presenting the picture as I see it. Sincerely yours, Vice President. HHBarker| RH enclosures
