Thank you for your continuing Interest In our asbestos problem*
Unfortunately the latest Inspection of the mine and mill
at Australian Blue Asbestos suggests that I may have been too
sanguine In ny last letter* The Mines Department Inspector
, reported to me that the mill -was dirtier than ever* Despite a
reduced ore production from the mine, a higher rate of fibre
extraction has been achieved 'at the expense of hlrher dust
_ concentrations* Is It to be wondered that this cynical attitude
fir towards their workers* health makes me doubt the Company9s good
- \\ faith*
.
Enclosed Is a reprint which might interest you* Also enclosed are copies of letters concerning a man born 1910 who was
unfortunate enough to be employed In the mill by Australian Blue Asbestos from 195k to 1959* Such rapidly progressive disease is uncommon In the literature of industrial chest disease and confirms
the fearful hazard to which the workers are exposed*
Tours faithfully.
