    "ocrText": "mety suck+ caufies\ncallins Corbin\nNovember 15th, 1928\nMr. Burton E. Emory,\nAetua Life Insurance Co.,\n100 William St.,\nN.Y.C.\nDear Mr. Emory:\nCongleton, Stallman & Hoover of 810 Broad Street,\nNewark, N.J. wrote us under date of November 3rd, that they had been\nretained by a Mrs. Meta and Mrs. Tuft to make claim against us for\ninjuries received by these two ladies during their employment by us.\nWe asked them to give us more information, and we had a further\nletter on November 9th, which gave us the maiden names of the two\nwomen, also the approximate dates of their employment, and some\ngeneral information regarding their present disability. It is\napparently their intention not to institute suit if a satisfactory\nsettlement can be made.\nWe are now checking our records which are none too\ncomplete for the dates of their employment, and find that Miss, Peer\n(maiden name) was employed on May 1,1916, and according to her attorneys\nleft our employ during the fall of 1918. We find that Miss Phillips\n(maiden name) was employed by us on May 28th, 1917, and according to\nher attorneys quit work some time during 1921. While we have found\nthe beginning of their employment we have not yet been able to check\nthe dates which they left.\nThe first compensation and liability policy carried by\nus in New Jersey was with the Globe Indemnity Company from November\n4th, 1916 to November 1917. The New Amsterdam Casualty Company\nissued policies covering the years from the fall of 1917 to 1919, and\nthe Aetna Life Insurance Company issued policies from the fall of 1919\nto 1920. Therefore as regards these two possible claims each of the\nthree above mentioned Insurance Companies carried the insurance for\na portion of the time, and there was a period of time during the\nemployment of Miss Peer when we had no insurance.\nAt the present we have one suit which has been instituted\nagainst us through Potter & Berry of Newark, on behalf of Mrs. Canfield\nand her husband. Edwards & Smith of Jersey City on behalf of the\nNew Amsterdam Casualty Company, and Collins and Corbin of Jersey City,\non behalf of the Globe Indemnity Company, are the attorneys of record\nin this case.\nIt is our intention to have a conference on Monday, November\n-2-\n19, with Mr. Markley of Collins & Corbin and Mr. Smith of Edwards &\nSmith, with reference to the suit of Mrs. Canfield, and if it is\nagrreeable with you we should like very much to discues with them also\nthe possibilities involved in the claims of Miss Peer and Miss Phillips.\nIt is our opinion that Congleton, Stallman & Hoover will permit\nof an examination of their clients previous to the institution of suit.\nSo far as a test for radio-activity is concerned, next week would be &\nvery opportune time to make this, since Dr. Herman Schlundt, of the\nUniversity of Missouri will be in N.Y.C., and available. You will\nrecall that we used Dr. Schlundt last spring while defending the five\ncases which we settled out of court.\nVery truly yours,\nPresident.\nCBLee:RH\nNote: Same letter sent to Mr. W. H. Galentine of The Globe Indomnity\nCompany, and Mr. Geo. W. Pesenger of the New Amsterdam Casualty Company."
