Dust disease exposure in mining sparks Senate hearing
Dr. R Sayers of the U S Public Health Service testified before a Senate labor subcommittee that between 500000 and 1000000 workers in mining and dust trades are exposed to silicosis and related diseases. He cited about 25 percent infection and 5 percent reduced working capacity, urging possible federal regulation of dust conditions following Hawk's Nest inquiries in West Virginia.
