DOCUMENT DESCRIPTION: Met Life Internal Letter RE Johnson's Co. 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.
