RADIUM STRICKEN

moro than 10 years ago that the
girl worked for the company but It
was My In March of this year that
her allnlent was found to be radium
poisoning. Under the law, she has
no compensation claim against the
company.
Conape nsation Commissioners
James M. Lynch said there was no
claim before him In the case that
has come to light. Asked if there
were any other cases of radium
poisoning before him he admitted
there was another case pending
against the Seth Thomas Clock Co
OF Thomaston. The claimant IL
Attorney Parker, when queried ,
worked for about a year for the
clock company in 1923. She left
the company's employ and re-
turned in 1895 to work for about
three weeks.
DIR Charles L. Larkin, who made
the diagnosis Of radium poisoning
I'm tho case, has had tho girl under
observation for several months.
According to the report first x
ray photos failed to show the true
condition when they were taken
around December. Later Develop
ments and symptoms manifested by
the patient, indicated the radium
condition.
This Is the first local radium
poisoning case to oome to the
foreground In recent months.
Several years ago, women en-
ployes Of an East Orange, N. j..
plant became III. Experts later
diagnosed their cases as radium
poisoning. Waterbury also ex-
perlencad several cases, three OF
