A transfer to non-lead was ac;ain refused by this man on April 2, 19liB and be has not worked since that time. We insisted that, as in lbliE, a few days off would clear bin no. He stated that his heav,r drinkir.c was as ' nob the cause for stionled count elevation as was the lead. This case appeared to he one o f lead absorption but because of his recent complaints we are reporting the case to the Industrial Commission.
Yours truly,
