and twenty-two days of expert testimony before the Court; after
a
study of the complete transcript of the testimony supported by well
over a hundred scientific articles and exhibits; and after appropriate
briefs and argument.
In the opinion of Judge Forman, and in the opinion of our own
attorneys, as well as that of Mr. Emmorglick, who represented the Plain-
tiff, the decision is sufficiently strong to practically put an end to
all such type suits against the Corporation.
There will be no appeal from the decision, and since the
decree, four suits have been discontinued, in three of which Mr. Em-
merglick represented the Plaintiffs.
At this writing there are three suits ponding against the Cor-
poration. These we expect will be discontinued in due time. There
are also six claims which have been called to our attention by pre-
are
vious attorneys. Most of these claims/of several years' stending,
and no doubt will continue to remain dormant.
In our suit against the four Insurance Companies to test the
question of coverage, the New Jersey Court of Brors and Appeals, on
January 31st of this year, confirmed Judge Ackerson's opinion that there
was no coverage under the policies. Since 1926 "Radium Poisoning" comes
under the provisions of the Workmen's Compensation Act in both the States
of New Jersey and New York. Therefore, eny case against the Corporation,
claiming injury previous to the placing of such injury under the provisions
of the Workman's Compensation Act, mast be defended or settled by the
Corporation, without any financial or legal aid from the Insurance
Companies.
