Safex itself was very satis factory Imt its comtMiundetl condition. with a little age, caused dermatitis.** Members ! this Committee personally saw fir. Shirley with a sample of Safex on- his arm under a piece of ailhcsirc. It had been there tor 4 days. He showed the naked arm and it had only a litilc rash, as stated hv him. The test (as made by Dr. Shirley) fastening samples of Safrx and Sate* cotnjMwwis to the flesh for days at a time would nt lie a jiarallcl condition to employees working with any such c*ni]Kmnd5. Reference is made in Mr, Nolan's liriei on page 19. to the hazard of x-rays. This hazard might take place in any industry and is not peculiar to the Rubber Industry. In fact there arc very few rubber industries equipped with an x-ray machine. The Committee knows of no ruljlxr ronijiany where x-rays are used tidier titan in the Medical department and under the ojicratiun of skilled technicians inly. Therefore, this illustration, as mentioned by Mr. Nolan. is far-fetched and should carry no weight in this lirief as arriving to the rubber industry. Signed: \\*. 1,, Srii.vr.iHEi:. H.
