Fifty years ago there was no cleo
trio Light and power in America.
Modern household conveniences. mod
ern labor-saving and safety devices
were then unknown. Labor worked
from twelve to sixteen hours at
wages averaging less than one dollar
day. The problems of life were
simpler in those days but they held
far less of material satisfaction for the
average man.
Large scale production at low cost
and the high earning capacity of
workers are the basic factors in
Americas present high standard of
living. But only through the electri-
fication of industry have these factors
light and automatically controlled
motor power and electric heat the
become so effective: Without electric
industrial miracles of today would be
impossible.
Yet light, heat and power are in
themselves no explanation. Back Of
the identification Of American indus
try is the impulse which has made all
America great. Individual initiative

Individual initiative has furnished

RAD|UM LAWSUITS LONG DRAWN OUT
Lawyer for "Condemned" Client R6cnG Delays

Orange, ". J.. May IS (UP)-E. A. Markley. attorney for the United States Radium corporation. pro- tested today against the implication that his client il responsible for the , legal delays in the case of ave for mer women employees who are dying of radiun poisoning.
 ] 4 year ago this month the women
 filed . joint suit seeking $25o.ooO each from the Radium corporation to ease the last days of their lives.
 Doctors had told them that the
 radium which they had taken into their bodies while painting watch dials would soon prove fatal. Markley said that tho numerous postponements which have prevent ed the women from receiving th<
 protection of the law were not
 sought by the company which has done everything possible to expedite
 justice"
 After the filing of the original
 suit a year ago counsel for the fad1um corporation moved that "
 be thrown out Of court on the
 grounds that New Jerseys two- 1 year statute of limitations had ex. pired. The radium poisoning, which results in a slow and painful death. had been contracted between 1917 and 1920 but was not diagnosed un- til 1927.
 On the grounds that his clients did not know until seven years later that they were doomed to die. Ray mond Berry. their attorney. asked the court of chancery for an order
 restraining the company from de.
 lending itself with the statute oi Limitations. Ordinarily. according to New Jersey court records. such cases are given almost immediate hearings.
 The bill for an injunction was , filed July 1s. 1927. Hearing was set for January IF. 1925. On that date
New Britain herald., 1928-05-16

postponement was taken until April 2. because of the inability of several defense witnesses to appear. Next eams an adjournment until April 2b for the same reason.
 On the last date all evidence for the i've women was presented. Phy- stcians testified that medical science knew no cure for their malady. Presentation of evidence was con- cluded on April 27 and counsel for the company then asked for an- other postponement % they would have time to prepare an answer.
 The chancery court docket. crowded with other cases, showed that the nearest open date for an other hearing was September 24- five months later.
 Chancellor Baches told Berry that if he could obtain in writing the consent of the attorneys in other cases another hearing on the application for an injunction could be held May 22. That was done and the next hearing Is now set for next Tuesday.
 Markley. the company attorney. said the delays were the natural result of the present court system
 Many cases in which the defen- dant lost . leg or an arm or in some eases both, have been waiting on the docket for two or three years" Markley said.
 The case of these girls is im- portant and If the plaintiffs coun- sel can get 1t moved up I will CO., operate.
 'I do believe. however. that the case is being over-estimated. The girls have lived seven years after they stopped working in the radium plant. doubt very much that they will die within several months"
 The litigation now pending. how ever, deals merely with the injunc- ton by which the damage suit may get into court. After that the dam age action itself must be tried on its own merits. One doctor has teati- fled that he believes no one of the poisoned girls will live out the year.
