RADIUN LUMINGUO Dear Mr. Lee, MATERIAL CORP. In going over the correspondence which you sent me with your letter of the 10th inst. I have found some reference in two of the letters to the supposed promise made your em- ployees that you would investigate the cause of the trouble and presumably advise them. I desire to ascertain just what was meant by this statement. It is contained in a letter written by Mr. Roeder to Dr. Drinker under date of April 7, 1924, in which he says: "We have promised the operators a thorough and complete investigation and I can sense a feeling of unrest that will undoubtedly be satisfied after you have looked into matters." In Mr. Veidt's report to Mr.Roeder, which was received June 12, 1924, he refers to the fact that you must have something definite to present to your employees. I think it would be well to arrange a conference between Mr. Roeder, Mr. Veidt and you and me to ascertain the basis for these statements. They constitute the first inti- mation that I have had that the company assumed to investigate the matter for the benefit of the employees and I desire par- ticularly to know whether the employees were advised of this fact and what, if anything, was told the employees with regard to Dr. Drinker's investigation. Yours procedures very truly,
