There are two main points at issue, which our attorneys feel
that your testimoney will be very valuable on. First - Considering the
status of the Art in 1921, or let us say up to 1924, would you have been
suspicious that girls applying luminous material to watch and clock dials
were following an employment injurious to their health either at that time
or in the future? The important point at issue here is not whether we
were negligent in view of our present knowledge, but whether we were negligent
in view of the knowledge at the time which these girls were employed.
The second point in question, and probably of minor importance is the com-
parative merits or possible deleterious effects of mesotherium vs. radium,
when used in luminous material.
We should be pleased to have your opinion on these two points, and
whether it would be possible for you to come to New York in case we deem
it advisable.
The date of trial has been set for January 12th,1928, in the Court
of Chancery at Newark,N.
We of course expect to pay your expenses on a mission such as this,
and any reasonable fee which you might deem equitable.
With kind regards, I am
Very truly yours,
Vice President.
