Court papers, 19 pages, in Frank Brown's suit against Johns-Manville Corporation, filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County and moved to the federal court in Chicago. Brown said he worked at the Waukegan plant in the construction gang, shoveling sand and dumping cement, and in the receiving gang, shoveling asbestos, fibre and cement into trucks, and that the dust gave him pneumoconiosis and tuberculosis. The papers include J-M's answer, J-M's memorandum on its motion to dismiss, which relied on Burns v. Industrial Commission (356 Ill. 602) to argue the claim belonged under the Occupational Diseases Act, and the plaintiff's brief in reply.
