North Carolina awards compensation for byssinosis
North Carolina passes a bill to extend Workmen's Compensation to byssinosis workers. The measure, supported by labor groups and textile leaders, targets a lung disease tied to cotton fiber dust in mills, especially carding rooms, and aims to provide financial relief after years of debate and research progress led by the State Board of Health and Duke Medical Center.
