Court papers, 14 pages, in Nick Bojko's suit against Johns-Manville Corporation, filed in the Superior Court of Cook County (summons issued March 1, 1934) and moved to the federal court in Chicago. Bojko said he worked as a laborer in the Waukegan plant's mixing room, where asbestos, fibre, cement and rock were mixed to make fibre block and rock wool blocks, and that the dust there was harmful to health. J-M's answer denied every claim and argued that the plant used lead chromate and litharge, so any claim belonged under the Illinois Occupational Diseases Act, which it also said was unconstitutional. His lawyer, Sol Andrews, amended the complaint to charge failure to provide suction fans, masks and warnings.
