Court papers, 17 pages, in Estella Hacker's suit against Johns-Manville Products Corporation, filed in the Circuit Court of Lake County and moved to the federal court in Chicago. She said she had worked since 1922 in the Waukegan plant's asbestos packing and washer department, running perforating and punching machines for asbestos washers, and that the dust made her ill. The papers include her complaint, an amended complaint charging that J-M knowingly refused to provide masks, respirators, blowers or suction fans, and J-M's motion to dismiss.
