English translation of Le Devoir's January 12, 1949 report on Burton LeDoux's exposé of dust conditions at the Quebec Asbestos Corporation mine and mill in East Broughton, Quebec, a village of about 3,000. LeDoux accused the company of running a human slaughterhouse and the Quebec government of tolerating it, saying the government had known of the conditions since at least 1944 and that the file had been before Premier Maurice Duplessis since 1947 without reform. Published weeks before the 1949 Asbestos strike began. Catalogue record only.
