cor* 'A? KORRin J. KCUKO'/ITZ, ! Rochenter 7* N. Y. January 16, 1945 (Anerloan) Lumbermen1 s Mutual Casualty Co. of Illinois 918 Reynolds Arcade'Building Rochester, N. Y. . Re: Vflr*o ClAmnna n*nsnofld PoImVT# N V. vs: . Gentlemen: This 42 year-old, married woman entered the employ of the Garlock Company on May 20, 1918 and worked there steadily until July 3, 1928 In the textile room, operating.a loom and a oreel. She then returned to the same kind of work on September 17# 1928 and worked through June 29, 1929. She was then married and left the company's employ. She had three ohlldren. During her married life she is said to have gained weight and to have had some shortness of breath. On December 3, 1942 she again wont to work for the Garlock Company, in the same depart ment, and worked steadily until November 2$, 19^3* 0n this laat date, she resigned "without any explanation*. ._ On April 8, 1943, she was seen by Dr. Marsh of Palmyra, N. Y.; at this time she complained.of.pain in the oheat, shortness of breath and cough. On Hay 15, 1943, her chest was x-rayed by_the State Department of Health Ciinio at Newark, N. Y. These films were examined by Drs. J. R. Green,. E. G. Vhipple, John MaoMillan and me. Dr. Green reports on them as follows: There is infiltration involving the larger port of the right lung. The shadows are muoh denser near the hllun. There is a dense shadow in the left lung near the hilum. The two dense shadows largely obscure the heart shadow. No accurate measurements of the heart can be given. The leaves of the diaphragm are quite high. The right leaf of the diaphragn lies above the 8th posterlpr rib and the left leaf lies Just below the 8th posterior rib. There are some areas of decreased density in the lunge, suggesting emphysema". $ On June 5, 1943# she was again x-rayed by the State Department of Health, this tine at Palmyra, N. Y. This film shows "changes similar to those described in the film of Hay 15# 1943. The d?nse shadows extending out near each.hilum obsoure the heart shadow. There is in filtration Involving the larger part of the right lung. The leaves of the diaphragm are high*. The diagnosis, made by the State Department of Health on the above two films, was "pulmonary fibrosis". On or about September 26, 19443 the patient was sent into the Genesee Hospital of Rcohestr, by Dr. Marsh; here, she was attended by Dr. Vern f'lr:r' n". v.

He 'll] forward a complete report of hie findings, both crons and micro scopic. The autopsy material vas reviewed by Drn. './hippie, ;'iac".lllan and re. It establishes th.e conclu-lon that the patient died, "as a result of pneumothorax. ThlB pneumothorax wan associated with extensive rulr.ionary flbrcsla, with emphyneur.atour. bleb* and emphysema. Sections of th.e lun/:9 confirm the diagncsla cf pulmqnnry fibrosis. resulting from rrolonged contact with asbestos". It Is Dr. ropoff'n opinion that the anbestcnls was "of lonr duration*. The advisability of making, a cherlcal examination cf the ashed lung was taken ur> with. Dr. Leroy 1J, Gardner of the r.dwnrd L.. Trudeau Founda tion at Carnnac I.o/.e, Y. He -wrote me: "I vould much rather rely.cn a histological examination cf large blocks of lung tissue made by a competent pathologist than I would expeot results fron chemical data. At best, the latter lr. only supporting evidence of any morphological changen that may be present. './e have done it on n good many lungs that have proved to !\nve nsbestosis, but all one can do is to demon strate that there nay be abnormal quantities of magnesium. The sili cates that.are detected right readily be due to other inhaled materials*. Gn the ba->is rf th.e above, it was not thought necessary to have the lung ashed. . Conclusion: It is r.y opinion, in vhloh Dre. Popoff, K&oMillan and Whipple tell me they concur, that this woman died of a pneumothorax, associated with pulmonary fibrosis and asbestdsis; that this process began at some time after she first went to work for the Garlook Tacking Company and steadily progressed; that she vas, clinically, an advanced case of asber.tosls when nhe returned to work for the Oarlock Company in Deoer.ber 19^2, and that the process would undoubtedly have gone on to a fatal termination even if 3he had not worked during the period from December 19^2 to November 19/l3* Very truly yours, . /s/ H.

It Is to be noted that Article 4-a was repealed by Chapter 431 of the Laws of 1947, effective July 1, 1947. However, Section 14 of the repealing act provided in effect that any rights previously accrued under Article 4-a prior to July l, 1947 shall inure to the benefit of any persons affected thereby as though such Article had not been repealed. This saving clause seems directly applicable to the Clemons claim. I have arranged to obtain photostats not only of the notice of award but of the claim and medical reports together with Mr. Clay's letter of transmittal to the Board and as soon as they are available we shall prepare our motion papers for leave to serve an amended answer, setting up the compensation pro ceeding and award as a further defense by way of election of remedy. If we are permitted to serve an amended answer, we shall thereupon move either for a dismissal or for Judgment on the pleadings along the line of our discussion with you. Of course, you understand that we could make no motions until the notice of award went out. We shall keep you advised.

Alsdorf The Oarloclc Packing Company Palmyra, New York Re: Vera Clemons, dec'd vs: The Oarlock Packing Company Dear Mr. Alsdorf: _ We acknowledge receipt of your letter of February 1, 1949 with the photostat of the notice of decision In the compen sation claim. We fully agree with your comments In the second paragraph of your letter. As a matter of fact we learned that the notice had been held up for some reason - probably to secure an actuarial computation. We assume that pursuant to the usual practice the Board's folder will now be forwarded to the New York Actuary of the Department to compute the present value of the award. After that, a further notice will be sent out stating the amount the Carrier Is required to pay In a lump sum covering future payments. Since the amendment of some years back, the carrier Is now compelled to pay in one lump sum to the Aggregate Trust Fund to cover all future pay ments . With respect to your last paragraph, you are apparently work ing under the assumption that death benefits are payable to the respective children only until each becomes IS years of age. This is the provision in Section 16 of the statute. However, Section 6o as It existed at the date of the death contains no such limitation with respect to the age of the children. The second sentence of Section 66 provides for the payment of benefits for temporary or permanent total disability or death from silicosis or other dust disease, "notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter***". How ever, payment is to "be made only to employees *** or to their dependents. This is the reason that the claim of the husband was denied. I have tried to reach Mr. Ryder since receiving your letter but he is out of town. I shall discuss tills angle with him at the The Garlock Packing company PALMYRA. NEW YORK April ??. 1^9 Nr.
