We have now heard from the Travelers in re spect to inquiry contained in your letter of May 4th, and learn that the $2,000 amount mentioned, is to be apportioned among the several carriers on the basis of the amount of exposure each one had. As the Armstrong Cork Company only had a small period of exposure, the amount under your policy will be relativelv small.
The Travelers have promised to advise us as soon as a definite conclusion is reached and we will, of course, pass the information on to you.
Sincerey

We inauired of the Travelers Insurance Company as to the present status of this claim, and hate their reply dated July 10th which reads as follows:
"Kindly he advised that there has
been no activity on this case until recently when Attorney E. A. Massey of Hartford appeared in the picture and has now assigned the claim for an informal conference on September 22nd, 195" 11:AM. As you know, there are numerous defendants involved in this case and the probabilities are that some reasonable adjustment will be worked out on a
'
pro rata basis."
The above is for your information and file.

on or about June 6 , 1957, and p rio r th ereto , the deceased had been em ployed with the Insulation Com pany and L o tz A sb esto s C om p an y.
A ll of the aforesaid p arties w ere subject to the provisions of the Com pensation A ct and the em ployers herein had com plied therew ith by insuring their com pensation lia b ility with the in su rers set out in the caption h e re o f.
P ursuan t to due and re g u la r n o tic e , in fo rm a l h earin gs w ere held
before the Com pensation C o m m iss io n e r fo r the F ir s t C o n g re s sio n a l D is tr ic t on
Septem ber 3 0 , 1957 and N o v e m b e r 2 7 , 1957, when c o n fe r e n c e s w e re h e ld betw een
jthe p a r tie s in an atte m p t to c o m p r o m is e the e n tire c a s e ; th en ce p o stpon ed to
Ju ly 20, 1959, when a further conference was held for this p u rp ose.
I
At these co n feren ces, it was the cla im a n t' s contention that the deceased had worked for m any years with the em ployers h e re in , in stallin g jasbestos insulating m aterials; th at, as a resu lt th e re o f, he contracted an pccupational d is e a s e , to w it: a sb e sto sis; that he b ecam e d isab le d th e re fro m on o r about Ju n e 6 , 1957 and r e m a in e d so d is a b le d u n til h is death on O c to b e r 14, 1957.
A lle g in g that the d e ce a se d 's d is a b ility and death a ro se out of and
in the co u rse o f h is em ploym ent with the e m p lo y e rs h e r e in , the c la im a n t, as
dependent widow, sought com pensation for the disability and death of the deceased
together with paym ent of a ll the reasonable m e d ic a l, s u rg ic a l and hospital b ills
that had been in cu rre d , and the b u rial expen se, as allow ed by law .
j
The respondents, how ever, denied that the deceased had sustained
any occupational disease that arose out of and in the course of his em ploym ent
with the em p lo yers h e r e in . The respondents fu rth er contended that the en tire
claim was barred by reason of the statute of lim ita tio n s. The respondents furthe
contended that the d ece ased 's d isa b ility and death w as due to an acute co ro n ary
occlusion and other causes unconnected with his em ploym ent with the em ployers
h e re in . In any ev en t, the respondents denied that the c la im a n t's lung condition
played a m aterial part in his d isab ility and death.
1
H ow ever, in view of the num ber of te c h n ic a l, le g a l and m ed ical
questions that w ere in volved , and in view of the other doubts in the c a s e , as
outlined by the cla im s of the p a rtie s h e re to , it is h e reb y ag re e d and understood
by and between the claim ant , the em ployers and in su re rs h e re in , a ll p arties

Dear Commissioner:
I am in receipt of a notice of hearing in this matter for September 22,
1958. We represent the Employers Liability Assurance Corp. in this matter.
Hubert O'Keefe was formerly handling this matter and from our file it would appear that at the last hearing on November 29, 1957 we were to
be let out of this case, as any exposure we had would have been in the State of West Virginia.
Will you kindly advise me whether or not we are to attend this hearing which is now scheduled.
Very truly yours,
O'K EEFE, JOHNSON & O'KEEFE
