City.
Dear Mr. McGlynn,
I talked with Mr. Roeder on Tuesday morning last.
He has communicated with Dr. Flinn of Columbia University
Health School and believes that Dr. Washington should have
an interview with Dr. Flinn before he examines the plaintiff.
Will you try to arrange for this?
Mr. Roach, some time ago, became very insistent
that he be given a copy of Dr. Drinker's report and, in fact,
he communicated with Dr. Drinker about the matter. Dr.Drinker
in turn, stated that if Roeder would not give a copy of the
report to Mr. Roach he, Drinker, would publish the result of
his investigation. At Mr. Roeder's request I saw Mr. Roach
yesterday and showed him the report, although I told him that
in view of all the circumstances we did not wish to leave it
with him or to have it lodged in his department. He seemed to
agree with my view and said he would take the matter up with
Mr. MacBride. He told me, however, that the Commissioner of
Labor Statistics of the United States had been requested by
him to make a survey of the health of employees in plants
June 4, 1925.
R.R.McG.-2-
similar to the Radium Company plant throughout the entire
country. I will communicate with the Commissioner of Labor
with the view of ascertaining whether this survey has been
made and the results.
He also told me that Dr. Martin Szamotolski, con-
sulting chemist for the Department of Labor, was requested
by him, when in Burope last year, to investigate the radium
plants there with a view to determining whether any trouble
similar to that which occurred at the Radium Company's plant
had been discovered in any of such plants. He said that the
results of such investigation were negative. I will endeavor
to communicate with Dr. Szamotolski and see what we can learn
from him.
Yours very truly,
