Policy & Large Number of Lung Disorders Dr. McConnell Welfare Division Industrial Health Section He: 3-0-2 - Johnson's Co., Thetford Mines West, Quebec We issued this policy in 1929, and to date we have premiums of $33,000 against Death claims of $28,500 and Disability claims of $3,000. The experience is very unfavorable in the current year, the premiums amounting to $6,830 with Death claims of $11,000 and Disability claims of $1,000. An analysis of the claims shows a preponderance of lung disorders. The company is engaged in the quarrying and manufacturing of asbestos, and we feel that there is a decided occupational hazard.here. We would like to have you or Mr. Fehnel inspect the plants of this company at your convenience. Attached is a copy of the claim analysis. May 27, 1935 GiF/DB G.W.
