K, Urlou SUBJECT* Duet Survey - Jersey City Centlomeni TTe are attaohlng for your Information a copy of Dr. Cardner's re port, giving the results of his dust survey at Joraoy City, and also a report In oonneotion with the examination of the X-rays of about 200 men at the Jersey City plant. It appears that we have & very hazardous dust oondltion at Jersey City, and also have a problem with a number of mon who now have asbestosis and tuborouloois. V."e arc taking the neoessary steps to provide dust oolleotlng and ventilating equipment, and In the meuntirao will provide respirators to minimize the dust hazard. Tho real problem we have for consideration is that of deoiding what to do about tho men who now have an oooupatlonal disease. If some of those men who have asbe6tosis should make olaim against the oompany and reoclvo an award, would the United States Gypsum Company have to stand tho entire oxpense or oould part of it be prorated to the former owners of the Jersey City plant? I urn attaching a oopy of my letter of Anguct 13th to Mr. Ready, summarizing some of the more Important points in tho report. Yfe realize, of oourso, that the management of our oompuny must make the final deoislon as to v.hat aotlon wa shall take on notifying the mon who have been oxnuined and wh`o Ir.-'o been found to have asbestosis, tubox oulosls, or some othor#dl unant--, V.o s'.ull also have to oome to some dooislon in connootlon with t.lio oon Ilium tlon of tho employment of our mon who have an oooupatlonal or other disease, but wo would upproolatu your advloo In this oonnootion slnoo you will, of oourso, have in mind tho legal consideration.
