Dr. H.M. Rennie Macquarie Chambers 183 Macquarie Street SYDNEY : N.S.W.
Dear Dr. Rennie
155
Thank you for your continuing interest in our asbestos
problem
( towards Unfortunately the latest inspection of the mine and mill
at Australian Blue Asbestos suggests that I may have been too
sanguine in my 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 higher dust
concentrations
Is it to be wondered that this cynical attitude
their workers health makes me doubt the Company's good
towards
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 1954 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
Yours faithfully
