Altbou^a I t is th e ir ooapany policy to furnish respirator* to the asbestos workers, these are seldom usod. In the Spokane Office o f tl. k a r te lls , they have bad th ree claim s. In Lot Angeles, Armstrong has had* one claim . K stlonally, there has been ooo claim file d in the S tate o f Ohio, 13 la C alifornia, 1 in Connecticut, 1 In Florida, 1 in Pennsylvania end 1 la How York. This fad fo r making aabestosis claims could e a s ily lead to the c la ssific a tio n o f th is trade as a hazardous occupation w ith a subsequent increase in S tate Insurance costs. In some areas o f th e Country, the Asbestos Workers are now required to take X-ray examinations and many o f the lo cal asbestos workers unions are claiming , th a t they are being rated higher fo r personal insurance. Since the oost * o f modi c a l aid end w elfare has doubled in the la s t fiv e years, m et of these co n tracto r associations are in terested in obtaining information from ary o f th e m anufacturers th at include asbestos on th e ir experience with voricaen who have boon using these products over a long period of years. The Aetna L ife Insurance Company in 19^3 made a p rivate study for OsceosCoralng, showing th a t plant people had not been affected by fiborgla*.
