Gentlemen:
On December 19, 1932, Rosenbaum & Mints, Attor-
neys, of Newark, New Jersey, brought to our attention the
fact that they had been retained by Mrs. Rita O'Dell, a
former employee of ours, who claims she is suffering from
radium poisoning. They stated their willingness to per-
mit an examination of Mrs. O'Dell with the hope of effect-
ing a settlement without entering suit. At the time this
first communication came in we passed copies of the letter
together with our reply on to Mr. Markley of Collins & Cor-
bin and Mr. Smith of Edwards & Smith. Some correspondence
has taken place until we have reached a point where we think
it advisable for Rosenbaum & Mintz to deal directly with
the attorneys since if an examination is to be made of the
claimant they can direct such examination. Of course it
may be this case is 80 far fetched that nothing will ever
come of it.
Our employment record shows Mrs. O'Dell started
work for us August 1, 1917, but does not indicate the date
of her leaving. Her attorneys, however, state that she
was employed for a period of approximately tiro years.
On January 17, 1933, Mr. Sidney H. Newman, an
attorney of Jersey City, New Jersey, called to our atten-
tion the case of Grace Shea, formerly Grace Seal. Wie
handled this matter in exactly the same way as the cor-
respondence from Rosenbaum & Mintz. Our records as re-
gards Mrs. Shea are quite complete and show that she was
employed October 24, 1918, and left in February, 1919.
The employment card indicates that her principal duties
were first "laying out" work, and on January 29, 1919,
