(Continuing)
oz- 19th of

I saw hia aypro.xi□a tely possibly on the ll3th

tl1G1t

smue month.

Y ou made an e:xamina tion of him at that time?

Yeso I examined him. I exemincd one of his eaxs, on thc3 injured side, because he hsct been ruiving some bleeding, and
Doctor Sanuer :o c a lled me in to see him. I believe he -:m.s
~upposed to .tw.ve been dizzy. Ile ,;rn1.·e trying to locate the
solll'ce oi' his injury at that time. I also e.Jramined some Jc-ray
picture.:, of hi .

result of t.ba t e1m:::iin 2 tion'.::

site &amp;t that e:rrnmin a tion. The :\-ro:,' pictures -- I v.ru.sn 1'.t
able to see in them a~y definite fx·acture tbat \i7ould irHiica te a skull f'rscture.

Thee man nns z1eulc and uppeared &lt;H.zzy

'..hen 'he stood up, and no further a,rnmination \'JUG made bJr me
~ t that ti.De.
He rm.s sent in latex to me for a check-up o:f
his hearing and vision.
r:ihen n o.s that',

?.ant 1., &amp;s n:obably about a month ei'ter the time he was in the
ho ;;;J_jl tc.l.

Q•

;
.n .

;.That di d you fi~1d n.t thct

ti □e'?

At that ti.me the mun compl a ined of lowered vision -- veey
poor vision -- r..nd he had muny other oymptoms of ciizzin&lt;?ss

ancl pain in his head.

Ue eompla.ined of not being able to

hear on the oue :sicie.

:r;:y rummination at that time cii&lt;i not

ci sclo sc very much to account for all of' those symptoms.
I ex.:::minecl him repeatedly, 1 uould say many times, afte~
that.

Some of tho ...,e

e:xa!:lination □

-uer·e not mt:de as a matter

of recoru, but they vere made os casual office e.xaminat!lons,

eind then I r:1a.de an exa:nination or two after that, \1hen J:
believe the cool company sent him, or through Doctors Luuzer
and Sauaers, and then I aade regular reports of' those e:camina tions. But his sympto!!ls during those v eriods never 01~ew1e&lt;.i

7lhen did you last examine this man?
Ila:; I ref er to my records here?

Yee.
I cannot tell you the exact date, but i t wa13 in SeptGt1.b,~r of
1~33, eccoroing to my last records, before he was sent to
Denver.

\7h&amp;t diu you find at that time?
I was unable to find any physical evidence to support the
man's aymptoms at any time. I considered that either the
man was ma.lingerinta 01:· tba t he had some ayl!lptoua or some

�3

r

objective si gns Dhich I could not correlate uith the things
he complained of. I suggested to someone -- I don ' t kn0\'1
r1hether it vms the Court or t.rho it was -- at that time \that
the raar.1 be sent f or a complete neurological. i.md. serological
e,rneina tion, a nu oelected three or four men in .Denver to do
thi~ wh o had not l)reviously e:xl':u_1ined the man. Ji.s I recall,
he had been examined in .Jalt Lake a nd had been :pronounc1:-d
a maling e:cer, but, t o gi ve the men the benefit of the doubt,
we t.,;elect ed t wo ou t s t anding men in Denver. But you asked me
what I found. Th e man alnay a co::n lained that he could not

he n a s dizzy, und he had .f) ainc in his head, &amp;mi he coulti

a \Utness called herein on ·behalf of the claimant,. being
firs·t duly sworn according to law, on his oath testified
as f ollo~n.,:

Direct-examination by Mr. Galicich:
~A.

State your name. please.
J. G. Wanner.

Q,.

A.

Where do you reside?
Rock · Springs, Wyoming.

~-

~hat is your business or profession?
Physician and surgeon.

A.
Q,.

Q,.

A.

Q•
A.

q,.

Hou long have you ·been a physician and surgeon?
About seventeen years.
Hou long in \'iyoming?
Fifteen years.
You are of the regular school of' medicine?
Yes, air.

Do you kno't'J the injured \'Jorkman, Vlasil Levkulich?
Yes, sir.
•
Have you ever attended or examined the man in your professional capacity'?
Yes, I have e:xami.n ed him several times.

A.

\7hen did you f'irst examine him?
I e,camined him first ·-- I couldni t tell you the exact date,
but it . was in the 'hospital shortly after his injury.

~-

Do . you knou where he ·was injured?
Do yo~ m~an t~e pl.a: c·e'?

A.

Q,. • Yes.

A.

I underetood he was injured in one of the mines in which he
was employed, while at his duties.

Q..

Could you tell us the month and the year of that first · exami~
nation?
I do·n 't believe I could wi tmut referring to my office records.

A.
Q,.
A-

Do you have them with you?
I don't have the records of the first · examination, but I
have some recoide of the reports made since that time.
THE COURT: He was injured, Doctor, according to the
report of the employee, on the 16th of October, 1931.

�2

A.

(Continuing) I saw him approximately possibly on the 18th
or 19th of that same month.

~A.

You made an examination of him at that time?
Yes, I examined him. I examined one of his ears, on the injured side, because he had been having some bleeding, and
Doctor Sanders called me in to see him. I believe he was
supposed to have been dizzy. tle were trying to l'ocate the
source of his injury at that time. I also examined some x-ray
pictures of him.

Q,.

Now, ·will you !)lease etate to the Court what you found

A.

Q,.

A.
Q•
A.

Q•

as a

result of that examination~
At that e.xamin ~tion, the ear drum had evidently been ruptured, anCL there was some bloody serum showing over that
site at that examination. The :2,-:ray pictures -- I \"lasn"t
nble to see in them any definite fracture that would indicate a s1.'Ull fra.cture. The man was \7eak and appeared dizzy
~hen he stood up, and no further examination was made by me
at that time. He was sent in latex to me for a check-up of
his hearing and vision.
When Y✓ @ s that?
That we s probably about a month after th~ time he was in the
ho spi ta.l.
~'hat did you find at that time?
At that time the man complained of lo~ered vision -- very
poor vision -- and he had m&amp;riy other symptoms of dizziness
and pain in his head. He complained of not being able to
hear on ti1e one side. ~ examination at that time did not
disclose very much to account for all of those symptoms.
I examined him repeatedly, I would say many times, after
that. Some of those examinations uere not made as a ·matter
of record, but they were made as casual office examinations,
and then I made an examination or two after that, uhen r.
believe the coal company sent him, or through Docto~s Lauzer
and Sanders, and then I made regular repo·r ts of those exainina ti one. But his symptoms during those periods never seemed
to dovetail with ·the physical findings.
When did you last examine this man?
ref er to my records here?

A.

llay I

q,.

Yes.

A.

I cannot tell you the exact date, but it was in· September of
1933, according to my last records, before . he was sent to
Denver.

Q•
A.

What did you find at that time?
I was unable to find any pbyaical evidence to support the
man's symptoms at any time·. I considered that either the
man was malingering or that he had some symptoms or some

�3
objective signs ~hich I could not correlate with the things
he complained of. I suggested to someone -- I don't know
v1hether it 1tJ as the Court or who it was -- at that time that
the man be sent for a complete neurological and serological
examination, and selected three or four men in Denver to do
this who had not previously examined the man. As I recall,
he had been examined in Salt Lake and had been pron.o unced
a malingerer, but, to give the man the benefit of the doubt,
we selected t\'m outstanding men in Denver. But you asked me
what I found. The man always complained that he could not
see. That was his main complaint. He also complained that
he was dizzy, und he had pains in his head~ and he could
not hear ui th one ear. In my tests of his vision, I v1as
never able at any time to g et him to co-operate sufficiently to find out v;hether he could see or not. He would refuse
to read any kind of a chart. Uhether the char"t be held up
tuen ty feet from him or whether it was held up in front of
his face, he s aid he couldn't see anything. although he was
able to get around fairly satisfactorily.
Q•

A.

Q.

A.
~-

Did you ever see him after that examination in 1933?
I'm sorry, but I don't have my office records ui th me, and I
don't know 'liihether I did or not. At least, I don't believe
I made any reports on him after that time.
Did you ever see him uhen he ,;ms not at your office
is, see him casually?
I believe I have seen him on the street, yes.

that

A.

Now, I uill ask you to state, from your examination of the
v10rkman -- did you find any pennanent physical disabili•ty,
or did you find any -(Interposing} I would like to have that question put a little differently. if possible, so that I may answer it more
intelligently. Do you mean, did I find any objective signs,
signs that I could see, of physical disability?

Q,.

Yes, objective symptoms.

A.

~e speak of objective signs as something we can see~ and
subjective as something that the patient feels. I have
never been able to find any objective signs at all to account for his alleged trouble or symptoms.

Q.

No~. in your opinion, do you believe that there are subject1 ve symptoms or that there is something \·1rong with the man
mentally?
•
Yea, I have formed a definite opinion in that regard through
this period of time in 't'lbich I had observed him and in reading the reports of the specialists \.7ho have examined hiu,
and I have formed a definite opinion as to what I think his
trouble is.

A.

~-

A.

What is that opinion?

My opinion is that he has a condition known as post-traumatic

�neurosis, or psychosis. I believe the man believes in llis
own mind that these things are wr.ong with him. At first I
was inclh1ed to believe, like the other men, that the man
was an out-and-out malingerer, but I am convinced now that
he is not. I believe, if you want to so call it, that it is
a mild for..a of insanity.
~A.

In your opinion, is this mental condition due to the injuries which he sustained in October, 1931?
In my personal opinion, it could be possible.

MR. T.ALIAFERRO~ I object to the answer and move that
it be st1·icken out. He asked him, in his opinion, did he
consider his mental condition no w the resul ·i of the accident• and now he · says, "In my :personal o pinion, I thinlc i t
might be possible". That is simply a guess.
THE COURT:
S\1er

Maybe that is c1s definitely as he can an-

it.

THE WIT".clESS: I might qualify that, if the Court v,ishes,
on this basis -- that these cases are compai·a ti ~vely rare, and
much of our opinion is forned on the past record of similar
cases that ~e have read about or have seen come up before
other courts of a similar nature. !'.:iy findings are based
principally u pon the interpretation of the reports of the
other specialists who have examined this man.
UR. Ti'. .LIAF~: I object to his baaing his opinion
upon reports of other specialists that have examined him.
This is not a hypothetical question.

THE COURT:
Q,.

A.
~-

A.

Q•
A.

I think I uill let the ·anawer stand.

Does this post-traumatic neurosis disable this man :from
perfo:rming ~ork at a ~ainful occupation?
As long as it exists, yes.
I will ask you to state uhether or not, in your o~inion.
the post-trs.umv.tic neurosis condition that you found to 'be
present in connection with this case, or this particular
workman, Wasil Levkulich, is permanent or merely temporary.
I am unable to answer that definitely, but, to quote again
from the authorities on similar cases, I would say that
many times in euch cases as this, when any kind of a settlement has been made, either for the patient or against him,
the neurosis will sometimes clear up when the patient's mind
has been satisfied that the case bas been settlea.
Doctor, are you a member of the Sweetwater County lunacy
commission?
Yes, sir.

�5
Q..

A.

Q•

A.

Vihat would you say as to the mentality of this workman'? r.·s _
it normal, above normal or below normal'?
~Tot knov1ing the man before his :present condition, I would
not be able to say definitely, but I would probably classify .
him as being somewhat below nonnal.
From your examination of this man. Doctor, do you know definitely, or even e.ppro.ximately, when this 11ost-traumatic
neuro si a vms developed or when it became present :.n the man
to such an extent that he could not ~erform work at a gainful occupation?
I understand the man
MR. T.ALIAFERRO:
Your Honor please.

I object to wha:t he understands, if

A.

You mean, since the injuiy?

Q,.

Since the injury.
It is my opinion that the traumatic neurosis took place imwediately following his injury .

Q,.

.And ,1as present '-'- t the d.a te of your last examination. in
September, 1933?
Yes, sir.

A.

A.

Could you state from your casual observation of this man af-

A.

Q,.

A.

Q,.

A.

Q,.

A.

ter that time whether that condition still existed at the
tirne you sa\1 him, and, if so. approximately what time or
date that r:;as?
'l'he only way I could answer that is that the last time I
personally saw him and examined him, it existed, and in
talking to members of hie family and others, the condition
uas appurentl~! the same t1hen I ,;·10uld inquire about him.
In other words. you ke_pt in close touc'h with this case
since its inception to the present time, is that correct?
l:'airly close, through asking about his welfare from his
other doctors and his wife and one or two of his children
thnt I have seen.
I ~ill ask you to state, to ascertain and to realize thnt
this traumatic neurosis condition exists -- can that be
found upon one examination of a workman or does that require
a continuous study of the case?
There are certain cases of traumatic neurosis ~hich are
demonstrated by actual plzyeical findings, such as x-ra:y pictures. and there are some that we are not able to demonstrate
and yet we know they exist.
In which class would this one be?
I believe this is a case in which no physical evidence can
be shown in the way of x-rays or tests to support his aYJUptome.

�6

Q,.

A.

I rnll ask you, then, in a case like this, referring to this
pal'ticular case of this man, Wasil Levkulich, could some
doctor, by e~amining him only once, determine whether ox not
he was suffering from trauma.tic neurosis or would it require
an observation over a period of time?
I believe it would be necessary to observe any type of neurosis or psycho Gi s to determine v1hether it was present and
to what degree.
!J.R. Gi\LICIOH:

You may cross-mcamine.

Cross-IIJ;mminc. tion b;'{ :11·. Taliaferro:
Q,.

A.

Doctor, when did you fol'til c1n opinion that t h e workman or
claimant here wi;:s suffering fxom traumatic neurosis'?
\?hen did I form that opinion'?

Q,.

Yes, when did you form that opinion?
I believe I formed that opinion after the man was examined.
in Denver.

Q..

Mot un ti 1 after he was examined in Denver did you form that
opinion?
Yes, sir.

A.

A.
Q,.

Did you form that opinion, as you have sta. ted, from the reports that ,1ere received from these specialists in Denver and
Salt Lake?

A.

The re;;,orts would indicate that the man did. not have a traumn. tic neurosis.

Q.

A.

And you fom.ed that opinion after you had read these reports?
Yes, :air.

A.

So that you didn't form your opinion as to the physical and
mental condition of this claimant from what these other surgeons have said'?
I was able to separate the ~heat from the chaff, so to
speak, and from -the highlights of their :findings, these complete reports, I was able to sift down and correlate them,
and I formed my opinion from that source rather than from
,,hat the doctors' opinions were of the case.

Q,.

You testified at one time that you a~rived at that conclusion as to the condition of this workman from what the specialists had said about him, wbat they reported?
I did.

Q,.

A.
Q,.
A.

You arrived at it from -what they said?
Ye£, sir.
And i t V1as, then, tho.t you read between the lines ane;. dGtermined that some of the thingo that 'they said \"Jere chaff and
other things that they said were \1heat?
Yes, air.

�7

q,..
A.

Q, •

A.

Ana that is the wa.y you have arrived at your present conclu~ion'i'
Hot entirely. It is a lso from taking into conside:rati.on my
past dealings personally with the patient and my examinations of him on ma ny occasions.
But you h&lt;:1ven' t examined him since he returned from Denver
2nd Galt Lake~ e::r.ce:p t to a:3ee him. on the street?
According to my record s, I don't belie·ve I h av e e.:;:amined
him.

Q.

A.

I say, you b.aven 't examined him since you sen ·t him to Denver?
He has been 1:dnce tha. t, yes. He v,en t to Mayo u ' s ince then.

Q,.

Have you examined him since he vrnnt to Ifayo s '?
no, s ir.

Q.·

Th.en what is the use of bringing in that mayo business?
-asking direct questions.
Yes, cir.

A.

A.

·1 'm

lfow , the f a ct of the ma tter is, Doctor , in September,. 1933,
you .~ ,d e a statenent, did you, over your own signature, with
Doctor Lauzer and Doctor Sanders, that you \iere unable to
tell that this man Vias suffering from any physical or mental
condition, anti recommended that he be sent to · other specialists?
A.. I don't remember my report m tb.out seeing it.
Q.·

A.

I '11 sho·.:1 it to you ( handing paper to witness). See if you
recognize t his. See if' you recollect it. I hand you a copy
of a letter, and see if you can identify that as being a
letter that you ~rote. The original. of course, is in Denver.
Yes, sir.

Q, .

~-

You wrote that letter, did you?

A.

Yes, sir.

Q;.
A-

.ft.nd the da. te of it?

~A.

You haven't e.xa~ined this man since tben, have you?
I don't believe I have.

September 11th, 1933.

Q•

That is what you have testified to.

A.

I don't recall any.

q,.

On September 11th, 1933, you addressed a letter to Doctor
Franklin G. Ebaugh, 4200 East :Uinth .Avenue, Denver, Colorado?
Yes, air.

A.

�8

-

A.

Now, before going further into that letter, I will ask you
if you recollect joining in with Doctor Lauzer and Doctor
Sanders in a letter to li:Ir. R. Y. Gibson on 1larch 22nd,. 1933.•
Yes, sir.

q.

In that letter, you stated

Q,.

MR. GALICICH: If the Court please, if they are going

In this letter of Uarch 22nd, 1933, marked Employer's E~iliibit A, the following ·appears -"We examined him very carefully and could find no evi-

dence of any permanent disability as a result of the

accident, unless his present mental state is the ·result
of the injury to the head. This cannot be verified by
x-ray or any other means at our command''.

A.
Q.•

And that is signed by Lauzer, Sanders and Wanner. now, what
other means, since this· workman was examined by these Denver
surgeons, has been developed by which you could find out
personally, yourself, about thi d? You hadn't examined him,
you· stated?
No, sir.
What I am getting at, Doctor, is what you read in the reports of these surgeons. That was the only other means you
had, isn't that true?

�9

A.

Q,.

~fo, that is not true, in my sense of the int.erpretation of
it, as to what other means I · had. I rely upon my authorities in medicine, possibly like an attorney relies on his
authorities in legal matters -- hie books -- and my opinion
has been molded during that time by my past observation of
this patient plus the reports which we have received si~ce.

Plus the reports?

A.

Yes, si:r.

Q,.

In other words, you have changed your own opinion of the
matter without any founaation whatsoever as to examination,
except t _h e reports of these Denver surgeons?
Yes, sir.

A.
Q,.

A.

And that is the way that you have changed your opinion?

I have changed my opinion by n correlation of my past examinations vd.t..'11 the addition of these other reports.
But those past examinations v;ere to the effect, according to
your letter, that you had no means at your command.
That is uby vie sent him doun there.

Q,.

A.

That is uhat you say -- that you had no means?
That is right.

Q,.

That was true Tihen you sent this letter, wasn't it?

A.

Yes, sir.

Q,.

The fact of the matter is, uhen you come down to it, that
you have siLlply changed your thought since you examined

A.

Yes, I have.

Q.•

And that change has been made without any examination of him

this man?

at all'?
Yes, sir.
And thut change is in violation of the opinion of these
doctors, these Denver surgeon ff?
Yes, sir.

Q,.

A.

rTow, Doctor, you say that you wrote a letter to Doctor
Franklin G. Ebaugh on September 11th, 1933?
Yes, sir.
lm. T.ALI.AFERF.O:

I think I will put this letter in,

too.
HR. G.ALICICH:

No objection.

( Vlhereupon, the paper in question was marked for identification as Employer's Exhibit B).

�10

'

~A.

What is your specialty as a physician and surgeon, Doctor?
I specialize in eye , ear, nose anct throat.

Q, .

What is a neurolo gist?
A neurologist is a man who deals with the brain and nervous
system, · principally.

A.
Q. .

A.

Are you a s 1,eciali st in that?
No, sir.

Q, .

In this letter marked Employer's E.xhibi t B, you state --

/A.

! have been asked by Mr. T. s. Tali a ferro •, attorney
of the coal companies here, to contact a neurologist in
Denver for the purpose of arra.~ging an examin a tion for an
employee of one of these companies 0 - and you go on further and name Doctor Ed-1ard Delehanty.
You asked him to contact a neurologist?
Yes. sir.

Q.

And then you fu~tber say --

A.

As regards consultation I uould like to suggest that
you call in another neurologist in rendering your report,
and any of the following men would oe acceptable" -and then you give the name of Doctor Edward Delehanty. :How,
you testified that you are not a neurologist'?
No, sir, I am not.

11

11

Do you lmo\7 who Doctor Delehanty is?
Yes, sir. He is a neurologist in Denver.

Is that his special line in the profession?
Yes, sir.
Q,.

Do you recognize him as being a competent, efficient and
skillful neurologist?
Yes, sir, he is a very good man.
You got a report from him~ didn't you? .
Yea, sir.

A.

Did you come to your conclusion or your opinion -- this opinion that has been formed since the report was gi van by Doctor Delehanty -- from that report, did you come to your conclusion tha,t this man, this workma..r1, was suffering from an
insane delusion?
If I believed his report, I would think that the man was
malingering in put ting on all of those symptoms ..
So you didn't come to your present conclusion as to this
man's mental condition from anything that Doctor Delehanty,
who is a neurologist, has said?
No. sir.

�11
Q,.

A.

Their r ep ort to you vms exactly opposite, -r,aan't it? It
was th&amp;t he couldn't find any evidence of any mental trouble
vdth him'?
I don't recall the gist of his repo1·t.

Q•
A.

Generally o v.r::1 ~n ' t that his report to you?
Gene:rally, his conclusions, as I remember them, were that
the man was a rnalingerer and that he had nothing wrong with
him and that he was putting on.

Q.

Either mental or ~.bysica l?
Yes, sir.

A.
Q,.
A.

Therefore, the conclusion that you made YJaS contra:ry to
what Doctor Delehanty informed you?
Yea, sir.

A.

So his report didn't enter at al l into this conclusion of
yours, this new conclusion?
There \'Jere many thing s in his report which eliminated and
cleared up points that uere not clear in our minds as to
other mental· and pbysical aEJpccts of the case.

Q..

Do you knov; Doctor Fred s . Halsted~.&gt;
Yes, sir.

Q..

A.
Q.•

A.

Q,.

A.

Q.•

A.

\'1hat i s hi s specialty'?
I think h e does ear, nose and throat. I don't know VJhether
he does eye \'Jork or not, but I know he does ear, nose and
throat.

Did you g et a report from him?
I have a copy of his report, yes, sir. I don't know whether
it \'las sent to me or not, but 1 think I have a copy here.
Yes, I have a copy of Doctor Halsted' a report here.
Did you form this later conclusion of yours from anything
tha. t he said in hi s ref)o rt to you?
J:Tot any more than I did from Doctor Delehanty's report.

\"fae against the finding of any mental t1·ouble
vii th this workman, vrasn' t it, as he reported. it to you's
A. . I cannot answer tha.t without reading his report over. - I
cannot remember all that he said in the report.

Q.•·

.And his report

Q,.

The fact of the matter is, Doctor, that you didn't pay much
attention to what these doctors in Denver that you had ref erred this man to said, did you?
The fact of the matter is I paid considerable attention to
what they said.

A.
Q.

A.

You weren't guided by them in any VJay, were you?
In making a diagnosis, I make it by a process of elimination, and by reading the reports I was able to eliminate certain factors, which I appreciated and valued their reports for.

�,,

12
Q.•

A.

Q,.

So you have come to this conclusion, not from subsequent
exami11ation of t:hi s workman, but from analyzing the reports
that the~e doctors made?
'Not entirely. Aa 1 stated before, i t was from my correlation and my previous findings in this case, plus these reports.
Hovr, on the 11th d.ay of September • .193:.-S , you stated to l)octor Ebaugh --

"It has been rr;y opinion from the very s-tart that the
patient has malingered, especially as to loss of vision,
and I am in some doubt as to his loss of hearing. This hes
also been the opinion of other men v1ho h a ve examined him".
A.

Tha.t ,;;as your thought in September, 1933, wasn't i t'r
Yes, sir.

Q,.

\'!ho is Doctor Ebaugh?

A.

Doctor Ebaugh is considered a very high-class man in his
profession as a neurologist.

Q,.

In what?
In neurology.

A.
Q,•
A.

That is, in mental disorde1's or nervous ciisorders?
Yes, sir .

Q.•

He i ta considered a ver:1 high-class man?

A.

Yes, sir.

Q,.
A.

And that is no t your specialty?
.no, sir.

Q..

And, notuithstanding the statements of Doctor Ebaugh raaue
to you, and the statements that Doctor Delehanty made to
you, whom you recommend aa being high~claes men in that
line -- you do, do you not?
I do.

A.
Q.•

A.
Q..

A.
Q,.

A-

l Continuing) -- you formed~ since you saw their reports ., a
different opinion?
Yes, sir.
And you formed that opinion from their reports and not from
an examination of this workman?
I didn't say that.
But you ea.id you hadn't examined him since'?
I said my present opinion is formed from my past frequent
examinations of the man, plus these reports.

Q.•

So you had no such past opinion on September 11th, 1~33?

A.

Uy oyinion before that was that the man was malingering.

I am frank in so stating that I thought the man was a ma-

lingerer.

�13
Q,.

Therefore, your opinion since that time, or your present
opinion, is apparently formed in the face of the reports of
these specialists tha.t you referred this man to?
Wot en ti rely.

Q,.

From v/hat, i f you haven't examined him'?

A.

My opinion has been formed by the study of case reyorts and
reading of a uthorities on similar cases, ane1 it is my ouinion that the1·e is no method of examination that can uemonstrate any subjective evi d ence of injury in this man.

Q,.

Why did you sena this -r1orkman, at your request made to me
why o.id you send him to Denver to be examined by these doc-

--

tors?

In order to clear the case up, i f possible.
Q.•

A.
Q, •

A.

You at that time had no o pinion of the mutter, and you
weren't an expert in that ma tte:r?
JJI.y opinion ~as that the man was a ~alingerer.

What has occurred since then to change that opinion?
I t1ill repeat what has occu:rred. I make my diagnosis by a
process of elimination. I have taken into consideration rny
past ex~.minations of the man, and my thoughts and opinions
at that time, and the rep orts that were furnished by the
Salt Lake doctors and the Denver doctors and the Mayo Clinic, and my reading of raedical books, books of authority, on
similar cases, and that has molded. my present opinion.

A.

That has molded your :present opinion?
Yes, sir.

~A.

And it has changed since September, 1933?
Yes, sir.

Vlill you give me the doctor books that you have read, that

I don't sup1)ose I could. quote all of them to you.
I asked you for the names of the books.
I say, I don't suppose I could quote a11 of them, but I have

read Webster's Legal Medicine and Toxicology and Warbasae
on Surgery.

Did they deal - especially with traumatic neurosis?

Examination by the Court:
Q,.

A.

Q..

A.
Q,.

Doctor, are you £..cquainted with these traumatic neurosis •
cnr.ies: De you usually find :physical syrup toms to explain
the n.ental condition or not?
'.i'his trr:;.umc:tic neu.I·osis is a co m:pa·utively recent di:::;ease,
ruld. it is rathe:r indefinite. Ti1at is, you may have an injur~~ to a leei and you h av e a peculiar lot of sympto·ms
there and you c~n' t account for them in any other way, but
because you have an injury it ~ould be prob&amp;bly classed as
a traumatic neurosis. In this case, the injury is to the
head. ancl these peculiar conditions have come on. I knew
thie man before, and, of course, he was a little below
normal intelligence then, but since then this bas been agbravated, but whether it is the &amp;ccident or something else,
we don ' t know.
You at one tirae thought he was a malingerer, di dn t you'?
Not entirely, no. I kne\"1 some of it was, but I never thought
he was entirely a malingerer all the time.
You still think that part of it was ma.lingering?

A.

Yes, sir, I think part of it.

Q,.

A.

You th.ink he is putting it on?
Some of it, yes.

Q,.
A.

But you don't know how much?
Mo, sir. We can't differentiate.
THE COURT:

That '.s all.

Recross-examination by llr. Taliaferro:
Q.•

Doctor, in Doctor :Delehanty ' s cross-examination in this
case, on Intcrrogato zy No. 4. which is as follows:

�23

A.

"State and e:xplain what is meant by traumatic neurosi s 11
and, in answer to that, Doctor Delehanty says thi a -" 'Traumatic neurosis' is a term applied to a train of
mental or nervous symptoms which develop following · an accident and tJhich are caused by other influences than trauoa"..
Yes, that is true.

Q, .

It may be caused by other things except the blo\"ll
Yes, it may be caused by other things.

Q,.

Arthur Lee sugge0ts this question, Doctor -- May not neurosis develop from a malingering and apart ~rom any a.cciden t?
That i ·s possible, yes.

Q,.

In other words, a person can think of himself having a di -·
sease and believe he has a disease v1hen there is no disease?
Yes, · tuat is possible.

A.

A.
Q,.

A.

You heard Doctor Wanner' s testimony?
Yes, ::ir, I did.
You 11 stened to it?.
Yes, I did.

Q,.

And he said in his testimony that a person uho is a malingerer and i:1ho has thought about his condition ·and who has
made himself nervous in such a uay as to affect his mind
may clear up \7hen it is definitely determined that he is .to
get compensation or that i t is definitely asserted that he
·is not to get compensation. Did you catch that? •
Yes.

Q,.
A.

In other words, either one way or the other, the matter
might clear up?
Yes.

That \"lOUld be the man 's oYm thought, wouldn't it, rather
than from the trauma?
A. . Yes, it appears that wa;s .
Q,.

llR. TALI .AFERRO:

That's all.

Redirect-examination by Hr. Galicich:
Q.•

lfo.w, in thi .s particular case·, Doctor; you are well acquaint-

ed with the matter as it proceeded in the courts, are you
not? That ia, you remember v1hen the case was originally 1:iJ'et
for hearing in l'd33?
A.

Yes.

,.
A.

Yee.

And then the man was sent to the doc to rs in Denverl

�24
Q,.

A.
Q,:

And after the 1,eports came back, the matter was dropped, so
far as the man's claim wae concerned'?
Yes, sir.
A.~d after the case uas dropped, did you notice any change in _
this man's condition?

A.

l~o, I didn't.

Q,.

In other words, the1,e was no change in his condition after
the case was dropped?
Mo, it didn't seem to make any d.iff erence either one nay or
the other.

A.
Q,.

lfow., Doctor, going back to the auestion that Arthur Lee
suggested, you said that a man could suffer from traumatic
neurosis even though there ~1as no injury?
Mo, I didn 1 t say II trauma tic neuro si s 11 • It" would be just a
neurosis.

Q,.

A.

That is a di f:feren t type of neurosis?
Yes, that is a little different type.

Q,.
A•

Tha·t is called \7hat?
Psycho-neuro ei s.

liR. GALICICH:

That's all.

( Whereupon., the witness was excused).

ATTORNEY ANO COUNSELOR AT LAW

ROCK SPRINGS,WYOMING

March 27th 7 1936.
l'Ir. T. J. O'Brien
t[r. Eugene t!clmliffe

l'lr. Georg e B. Pryde

Mr. J.M. Bernardin

Gentlenen:
On the 26th of !12.rch, 19 6, the District Court of' Sueet.wter
County awarded Stev~. Smith, an employee of the C~lL!~~,.?1 Coal and Coke
_C_oilp~ny, 0800.0b, on account of an alleged clcdm of loss·-or -nesrlng; · be.cause of Rn alleged injury, which he recel ved in the evJploy of the Central
Coal ~.nd Coke Company.
I listened to th0 testimony of the workm z.n, and to the testimony
of Doctors Lauzer and 't'anm~r , and coul d d:i.scover but little, if any, defect
in his hearing. The fact of the matter is he could he~r what ~ms said to
him better than I could heer the questions.
Bllt this is not the issue. The 1!ice-Presiclent of Dis.trict No.
2~ testified, un '.'.er h:i s o.sth, ns follor7s:
By rir . Galicich, County and. Prosecuting Attorney:.
nq . T'.ien to 1:Ji :. c::&gt; f11 Tiould be dangerous to him?
A. Absolutely. 11
0

I think :It. 1~ my iiut:- -t:o call the atten.tion of the coal
operato-..'s of the Sc,uthern ~omin_g field to this cas·e.. I do not believe
that there are any grounds upon \·,h1ch the judgment of the Court can be reversed, chieny because of the attitude of the Supreme Court of myoming
in recent cases brought before it.

What occurs to me is this, by granting ~800 .. 00 to this ~orkman
on account of his clairn thet his he~ring has been affected f;rom the slight
injury rnich he- received, the court must have found that . the testimony of
Vice-President Albert Roberts u2s true, and Albert Roberts• testimony is
nABSOLUTELYn Steve Smith is a dangerous man to be .e mployed in the. mine.
I hope I am not going beyond my sphere as an .attorney, but I

think that I' would be a poor legal representative i:r this s:ttuation v,,ere

not called to the attention of the head officials of' the operators.
Yours truly,

TST:ga

Rock Springe - Jan. 9th, 19a9.

Mro Frank Tallmire:
We have omitted the earnings of tnko Matozovich,
ck. 294, Noo 8 Mine, from the Deco 16•31, 1928 State pay-rolls, and
this boy is employed filling tamping bags by contract and do not

think this is a hazardous occu~ationo
this work,

Former boys were shown, for

o hazardous for the reason that we had the:c 1.?.ssiet with

the switch-tending of the big electric locomotive, in bringing the
coal to the tipple, but the boys now employed do not do any of
this worko
If they should be carried as hazardous will you

kindly adviseo

t h an to our politicians.
Business men are the most influential class in
!he country. They never had so much influence
in any ot~er.country as they have here, and never
so ~-u~h mfluence here as they have now. Most
poht1c1ans do not disregard what business men
want.
They may disregard what business men say
they :vant, bu~ they seldom disregard what they
know the business men actually -do want. And
the main reason why we have so much government in business is that the politicians give business men what they actually want.
Rodney A. Elward, a Kansas farmer, in an
article in Nation's Business for July, commented
upon the way "business men shudder at the
word socialist," and said:
"Paternalistic schemes of government are
agitated, not at farmers' meetings, but in business men's organizations. I have heard more
socialism preached at meetings of commercial
bodies than in socialistic gatherings."
Mr. Elward and· I have spent our lives in different fields, but we · have come to the same conclusion.
•
•
Probably no statem_ent~ in Herbert H~over's
speech accepting nommat10n for the Presidency
were more generally endorsed by business men
than these:
"It is the duty of the Government to avoid
regulation as long as equal o~po~tunity_ to all
citizens is not invaded and pubhc ngh_ts vb10l~ted.
The Government_ sh~uld _n_ot en~age m usmess
in competition with its citizens.

It has been constantly asserted that the. Federal _Government has built larger and more expen:'1ve post office buildings than private compames would have built to handle the same
amount of business, and that the Federal Govern~nent has was~ed large amounts in "improving"
waterways which never could be made navigable
for a row boat.
But did anybody ever hear of a business man
opposing the expenditure by the Federal Government of $200,000 upon a building or anything
else in his own community ,vhen $100,000 would
have been sufficient, or even too much? Reo-ardless of the merits of the Boulder Dam controversy, for example, is it not significant th~t

. Th_e re is only a handful of theoretical socialists
this country. Extremely fe w of our business·
men are theoretical socialists. But that is no
rea~on why we should comfort ourselves with the
belief that socialistic policies will make no
progress, especially if we have only to look
a round us to_ see that they are making progress.
Our danger 1s not from the theoretical socialist
but from the practical socialist.

The theoretical socialist favors public ownership and management of all the means of production, distribution and exchange of wealth. He
is not dangerous because he cannot get enough
people to agree with him. He takes in too much
territory. Nobody wants any of his own territory
taken in.
Some Socialists Are Dangerous
A practical socialist is a man who will favor
almost any form of governmental action, however socialistic, which he believes will benefit
him. Now the woods are full of practical socialists; and they are dangerous because there
are so many of them, and because, unlike the
theoretical socialists, they get something done.
You canno·t get many people to favor government regulation or ownership of all business, but
you can always get a gr~_at many to fa":or almost
any kind of govern~ent interference ~1th almost
any one kind of busmess. Hence while the general doctrine of socialism makes almost no progress in this country, practical socialism grows

. E . E . Vv atson, an actuary, after an investigalr&lt;;&gt;n,. r~portecl abQ_ut a year ago · that the West
V1rg1111a workmen's compensation fund was "impaired" to the ex~ent of almost $5,000,000, a conclition sa id by insurance experts to be the result
of t he charging by the state of a rate much lower
th an has been shown by actuarial figures to be
sou nd . The result is; in effect, that the public
i pay ing part of the premiums for workmen's
comp ensation insurance in West Virginia, and
t ha t taxes in the state are thereby made higher
than they otherwise would be.
F ine examples of the inconsistency of many
business men who profess to be opposed to "government in business" are afforded in the field of
transportation. The railway came after the
waterway and the highway, but for almost a
hundred years has been our principal carrier of
commerce.
Some say the 9wnership and operation of ~ailroads is prope-rly ~ . governm 7nt f~nctwn.
Whether it is or not, 1t 1s a funct10n \Vh1ch our
Government does not perform. Our busmess men
are mainly responsible for this. They always
have opposed govern·m ent ownership of railways.
After two years of government ~anagement !he
railways were returned to p~1vate &lt;;&gt;Pe.ration
mainly because an ove~whelmmg ma;onty of
business men demanded 1t.
As business men favor private management
they might rea_sonablf be expect_ed to favor co~ditions conducive to 1ts success, a_nd the condr•
tions

experiment to determine whether such a service
could be successfully conducted. Probably it
would have been conceded at that time bv all
its advocates that eight years would be sufficient
for the test. Recently, however, Congress, with
the approval of business men, especiallr t~ose_ of
the Mississippi -Valley, trebled the cap1tahzat1011
of the Government's corporation in order that
it might correspondingly enlarge its service.

. 1f . o~ial_isti c policy in the field of transportation 1s desirable, why not in all lines of business?
It is easy to understand why the Government
sho uld g et out of a business in which it makes a . '
failur e, but will not private enterprise sho~ a
great deal of imprudence if it stays out of the
barg e business until it has been made a success
at the expense of the tax-payers, and then tries
to grab it in order to get the profits?
What Makes a Failure?
There are still other questions that may be
asked of business men who are backing government ownership and operation of the barge line.
What evidence will be required to show that
it is a failure? What will be done with it if it
is a failure? No answer ever has been made to
these questions by either the business men or
the politicians who have got the Government to
engage in transportation.
If the measure ·of success or failure is to be
merely the freight rates charge~, and not the total capital and operating costs mcurred as c?mpared with the service rendered, then plamly
the Government may incur heavy !osses to. be
paid from taxes without the &lt;;xpenm:n_t b~1~1g

�It is g_enerally agreed by business men that
the growmg burden of taxes and the 1·
·
,
ncreasmg
ten d encY: of th_e Government to interfere and
engage m busmess, are twin menaces to our
welfare.

~ repeat th~t business men themselves are
chiefly respons1~r these menaces. They are
constantly P:omotmg schemes on a local, state
and even national scale to increase ·governmental
expenditures and thereby taxes.
Business men are constantly backing projects
fo r increased governmental interference and
competition with other people's business. They
do t hese things in their supposed self-interest.
By doing them, however, they usually, in the
long nm, work contrary to their own interest
and tha_t of everybody else. They have to help
pay the increased taxes that they make necesary, and they set prec_edents, by pr~motin~
o·overnm ent interference m other peoples bus1~ess, t hat are used to justify simila'r interference
in thei r own business.
A nd thus they go on, year after year, increasin&lt;T taxes while denouncing the politicians beca~se taxes are high, and helping to establish a_
socialist state while talking at th_eir lunc}te?ns
and dinners and conventions agamst socialism
and socialistic policies.

Dear Mr. Pryde:

I

\"\)

I t hank you for having written me your letter

February 21 calling ~ttention to the mistake made in my article
in The Nation's Bu siness f or November, re p:arding the workmen's

compensation insurance law of Wyoming.
Of course, I make no pretense of being an expert
upon this subject.

All the statements made ill my article were

based upon information given in a memorandum which was prepared
for me by a man who bears the reputation of being an expert regarding insurance matters.

I am very sorry if the statement made

by me was misleading, but I feel sure that it did 1ittle harm.

I am glad you enjoyed reading my article.
Yours very sincerely,

sod-s

To my mind. t h is will all be avoided by adopting the same

Dear Sir,

I have all of the records for the State Treasurer except
some affidavits which Mr.

M. cPhie, at Reliance, is to make out.

I wonder if you may not call somebody on the telephone
and urge him to get them to me tomorrow, if possible.

Visitors to this state have comrnented with surprise upon the lack of
1
a modern state program for dealing
with occupational accidents.
Florida increasingly needs accident
compensatiox;t, which fifteen years' ex perience in America has demonstrated
to be beneficial alike to employers,
employees, and the whole community;
Employers as well as safety experts
and public officials throughout the
country have given eloquent testimony
to the fact that workmen's compensation laws, in addition to providing reasonable and certain care for injured
workers and their dependents, have
proved a most effective stimulus to
Accident Prevention.

WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION LAWS
Florida is a black spot on the Workmen's Compensation
Map. In addition to the forty-three state laws shown on this
map, Haw aii and Porto Rico, and the federal government for
its own employees, have compensation laws. And Congress
has just enacted a federal accident compensation law covering
harbor workers in all states who are injured while at work on

�Costly "Damage Suit" System Stilll Exists in Florida
N FLORIDA, under the antiquated system of
employer's liability, both employer and em" ployee are at the mercy of law suits. When
an industrial accident occurs, the employer may
have to pay - in addition to the expense of a
trial - a big sum of money for damages; the
injured employee who sues his employer gets
practically nothing; even when he wins. he
must divide what he gets with his lawyer.

I y ap.
pointed in over twenty states have, aft er e:x:haustive investigation, recommended a com.
plete departure from this system of law.

It was demonstrated that the doctrine of
employers' liability is unsuited to modern conditions of employment; that industry is now 80

complex and highly organized that the causes
of accidents have become obscure and difficult
fo identify.
As a result, r eports show that in a substantial

¼ r': .,....-

,~;,', .I

ble and in a still larger proportion, the damages
\

awarded are negligible.
Occasionally, we hear of large awards being
made after a case has dragged through the
courts for years during which time the family
has been left destitute.
But even in a successful suit, court costs and
attorney's fees sometimes ranging as high as
50 per cent of the sum granted consume a sub•
stantial part of the money awarded.

M

ISSOURI employers and wageeamers, through their state organizations, actively supported the
workmen's compensation law which
was recently ratified by popular vote.
I~ the campaign, they widely distributed the above cartoon warning the
voters not to be tricked by a "shell
game" counter proposition put forward
by a certain class of "damage suit"
lawyers.
I~ its campaign literature the Missoun employers' association declared
that the workmen's compensation law
"will boost Missouri" and that it "will
en&lt;:,ourage the building here of new factories which are now being located in
states having workmen's compensation
laws."
Thanks to general support of the
plan Missouri is no longer a black spot
on the compensation map. Will Florida
now do as well?

Finally, a law suit stirs up hard; feeling be•
tween the worker and his ~mployer.

Harmful to the Community
The present system in Florida assumes that
the workman accepts the . risks of his employ•
ment and gives him the right to sue, ~nd to col•
lect a sum as damages for the injury received,
only if his employer is negligent.

Forty-three states have already adopted
workmen's compensation laws because theY
have come. to recognize that the law of ein·
ployer's liability is inherently unfitted to inod·
em indusbial conditions, grossly unfair to tbe
worker, vexatious and sometimes very co5tly
to the employer, and harmful to the coJ11•
munity.

�Will Florida Rise fco

err lPrre§elliltt Ojpportunity?

HE time is ripe for Florida to join the other forward-looking states in adopting a
Workmen's Accident Compensation law. The great strides that Florida is makingindustrially as well as in street and highway a nd b uilding construction - is attracting nationwide attention. Greater production and construction mean more accidents, and call for
the modern and scientific remedy.
Employers' liability, with iis long-drawn-out, costly and· uncertain damage suits, is an
unjust and outgrown system.
Workmen's compensation - the modern plan - provides adequate and certain payments on a weekly basis at the time they are most needed. lll!: furnishes the necessary
stimulus ,to safety work through which accidents are prevented. it lessens the community
burden of charitable relief. "A workmen's compensation law is one of the means by which
men judge the social status of a state."
Florida has already enacted legislation for the rehabilitation and retraining of industrial cripples. This legislation, which is supplementary to workmen's compensation, is in
effect in forty states. Having taken this forward step, why should Florida delay any longer
in adopting a workmen's compensation law?
There is an additional - and a new - reason why the need for action by Florida
at this time is more than ever urgenL On March 4, Congress enacted a law ext~nding fed·
eral accident compensation to local harbor workers injured on board a vessel at the dock,
The harbor workers thus covered include not only longshoremen who load and unload vessels
but also ship repairmen and others - no less than twenty-two different crafts.
The new federal law, effective July 1, 192 7, applies to all states including Florida,
But in Florida - unless the legislature promptly adopts supplementary legislation - these
same employees, if disabled or killed while working on shore, have no recourse except suits
for damages against their employers with "the laws delays" and the expenses and uncertainty and friction of litigation.
Now that workmen's compensation is for the first time to be in operation in Florida
covering a large number of hazardous employmen.b, isn't it timely an,d fair to all other
employers and their employees to adopt a reasonable state workmen's compensation law?

�/ Why Congress Should Provide Accident Compensatio forr

of C~lumbia. They have no accident

the most elementary regul ations fo r

Employees engaged in building construction and woodworkin g p lan ts,
painters, electricians, drivers and elevator operators, are amo ng those
workers in extra-hazardous occupations
in the District of Columbia who are left
with practically no protection when injured in the course of employment.
Employers as well as safety experts
and public officials throughout the
country have given eloquent testimony
to the fa'ct that workmen's compensation laws, in addition to providing reasonable and certain care for injured
workers and their dependents, have
proved a most effective stimulus to

The Tragedy of Work Accidents
What a· work accident means to
the Wage-earner's family and to the
community without compensation protection has been · vividly set forth by
Warren H. Pillsbury who served as a
rnember of the California Industrial Accident
Commission. Describing the tragedy of un•
compensated disability to a worker, he wrote:

''%en obliged to leave work, the mcoJJ1e

Costly "Damage Suit" -System Sti_ll .Exis~s· 1n
the District of Columbia

U

NDER the rules of common law, as there is
not even a liability statute for the District of Columbia, both employer and employee
are at the mercy of law suits. When an industrial accident occurs, the employer may have
to pay - in addition to the expense of a trial
- a big sum of money for damages; the

injured employee who sues his employ
· .
er gets
practically nothmg; even when he win h
s,

e

must divide what he gets with his lawyer.

Unsuited to Modem ·conditions
It was d e monstrated by investigating commissions in over twenty states that the doctrine

of employers' liability suits for damages_
which a t least so ftened somewhat the harsh

is unsuited to
r..:10de rn conditions o f employment; that industry is now so comp lex and highly organized
that ~he c~uses of a ccidents have become obscme a n d difficult ~o identify.
r ules o f the old common law -

As a result, reports show that in a substantial
n umber of ca ses no recovery whatever is possible and in a still larger proportion, the damages
awarded are negligible.
Occasionally, we hear of large awa1ds being
made after a case has dragged through the
courts for years during which time the family

ISSOURI employers and wageM
earners, through their state organizations, actively supported the
workmen's compensation law which
was recently ratified by popular vote.
In the campaign, they widely distributed the above cartoon warning the
voters not to be tricked by a "shell
• • put f orward
game" count er propos1bon
by a certain class of "damage suit"
lawyers.
In its camp~n literature the Missouri employers' association declared
that the workmen's compensation law
"will boost Missouri" and that it "will
encourage the building here of new fac- tories which are now being located in
states having workmen's compensation
laws."
Thanks to general support of the
plan Missouri is no longer a black spot
on the compensation map. Will Congress now do as well for the District of
Columbia?

has been left destitute.
But even in a successful suit, court costs and
attorney's fees sometimes ranging as high as
50 per cent of the sum granted consume a !!Uh•
stantial part of the money awarded.
Finally, a law suit stirs up hard feeling be,
tween the worker and his employer.

Harmful to the Community
Under the present procedure in the Di5trict
of Columbia •perhaps five~sixths of the work·
men seriously injured at work receive no corn·
pensation.

Forly-three states have already adopted
workmen's compensation laws because they

�Will Congress End This "Natipnal Disgrace''?
OR seven years bills to provide accident compensation for wage-earner~ ~ Private

F

employments in the District of Columbia and to remedy what the W ashingto~ News calls

• " have been urged upon Congress, but final action has been
an "into1erabl e state o f a ff airs,
delayed.
The American Association for Labor Legislation has recently made a survey of work
accidents in the District, supplementing its ~imifa~ study canned on in 1923-24. It shows ·
· that, while Congress delays, tragedies occur nn ~he homes of injured workers. These findings
have been laid before Congress.
Of sixty-one accident cases just examined in ,vhich ihe compensation is known, fifty.
two received absolutely nothing from their employers as compensation for their injuries. Only
three men received something-after strong bra.de union 1pyessw·e had been applied-from
liability insurance companies. In twenty-one of ~hese cases suits were brought for damages.
Thirteen of these-necessarily under the rules of the common law since there is not even a
liability statute for the District-were unsuccessful and three had not yet been settled.
Three verdicts had been secured, only one of which bore any reasonable relation to the
losses sustained.
What frequently happens when some sort of a "settlement" is made is illustrated by
the following case: The widow: of a man, killed in a work accident, was induced by a lawyer
to let him represent her. He kept postponing the case. Finally, during the Christmas holidays,
he went to the widow with a check for $1,500. Her son was out of a job, her married daugh•
ter could .not help, her yQunger daughter had had to leave school and go to work. She
accepted the settlement, of which the lawyer took $500. Other widows fared even worse, like
the one who, with eight small children too young to work, had to accept charity when her
husband was killed by the collapse of a scaffold. Such a condition is indeed "intolerable,"
Congress alone can provide the needed remedy.

Accident Compensation Bill Now· Squarely Up to Congress
Earlier efforts to secure this legislation have been blocked by private insurance coJJl•
panies. Recently the A~erican Association for Labor Legislation, in cooperation with workers
directly affected, has worked out a compromise with a view to getting the long-deferred
remedy at th is session of Congress. The simple formula is embodied in a brief bill intro•
duced by Senator Blaine ( S. 3565), which by reference simply extends to private employees
in the District the provisions of the federal Longshoremen's Compensation Act of 1927. This
proposal, which provides the superior commission method of administration but per.nits
private insurance' ap pears

me, as it did before I

1Vas relieved of the clerical part of this business.

From what I have seen and from what I hear, the adl□ inistration of comP~sation cases, is more expensive in some other parts of the state
than al ong th e railroad, which oug h t no t t o b e.•

~I n~te tha.~,., Mr Bottom~ y states that the Clerk of the Court :L~
allo ea. a £ee of ~o .. OO for each invest:i.gationo I apprehend that this
charge against the fu..,id is made because the court must have evidence
upon nhich to base the i;~ :1 r s and the clerk is used as a m. tness after
~ving accumulated the evidencea Of course~ the court is entirely
justified if the employers do not furnish the court with the proper evidence. No such fees to the Clerk of the Cour~~ has ever been allowed,
so ~~r as l am a,:---are ofj in the court·s of Southern Wyoming, be~ause the
Soumern 12Jyon:dJ.--ig employews of· labor present 99 per cent of the cases
to the court~ m. th the evidence not only complete ·y developed., but upon
nftipulation ', duly s 1orn t o, between the employer and employee, that
tne a a.rd may be made in accordance with the stipulation. As you k..Y1ou,

�I am returning papers received uith yours of Mey 4th

on excess eharg~o made by doctors in ths northern Wyoming coal field.
I discussed this ma.tten." lrlith Mr. Calve1·ley Saturdey last and he says
the practi~e is carried on, the responsibility resting ~holly with the
opera.tors who endorse the doctors&amp; bills.

This is something X hopa

to cover by the c ircu.la:i-;.. \?e planned some time ago and which Mr.
Calverley seemed disin~lined to go alo~.g uith. When I get som.g
spare time I will try to work up aotrathing in connection with Mr.
Taliferro ..

The Treasurer advised me that the Blazon Company had pa.id

up all but $1500, the suit still hanging over them, so I think that
debt ~ill be taken eare of, the Fund in· some~hat better shape.

Dear Sir,

In r~ Teresa Margan, widon of Fraulc M&amp;rgon. and your letter
to Grace Siegert of October 23rd, 1~28:
'
Soill~ six rnonths- ago I r l· 1 ed a protest in th~~ District Court
against paying Teresa Mar 6 on any furthe1· compensation because of
her re-ma1~riage.
I understand. t~at Judge ';:ic1ball does not Wb'.nt to sign the

order paying Teresa .Margon ~270.00, and cancelling all .further compensation., but is inclined to m~Jre the contrary order, anci have us

test the constitutionality of the Statute.

My son, Arthur-Lee, tells me this. I have had no conversation
Tiith Judge Tidball, but pr·opose to s peak to him the first ti.me I am
in Green River while he is holding court, and if he will not sign
m1 ore.er lllo·t,ing the i !..~'lO. 00, and cEti.cellir_ig the bglance, to let him
sign an order directing the widow to be paid, in which case·, I shall
take the me. tter to the Supreme Court.
I am writing this letter at "the request of the Clerk of the
Court.
Yours truly,

Dear Sir:

suggestion of her d~a t~, an~ n o~ified the Col ony Coal Com pany t Denver- , wh o employed the husband aun.ng his hf e time .
A letter from the Colony Coa l Compa ny~ dated November 13th, advises that your
office s?lows tha t t he widow r e c eived ~p2000.00 on September 13th, 1';)28, in full payQ

I would like to kn ov.1 hov1 t ;1is hap pened?
The Statut. e is perfectly plain that
lump sum payments must be made upon notice to the empl oyer. , and a setting of the case_ by
the court, and the hearing of evidence as to ths "NECESSITY . 11
I am getting next to a good many c~.ses where lump sums a.re being asked for to pay

I take action s of t his scrt ·to be no le s s than raids up on the compensation funds I and

Kemmerer. Wyoming

Yo ur le t t e r o f Jover.1be r 2 7th concernin g compensa tion matters.
I think t :e r e a r s ~vs r al things conn "' ctecl wi t h the ai.-;c ndme nt
of 192'{ t ha ~ o ught to b e st r •i ght ened out, n ot t,hat. it makes any change
so far as t .1:1 e wor kmen ar e conc e rn e d , but some c hange s hould be mu.de in
thG administra tion.

I wil i mention some of t h&amp;m :
1- Yuu art:: f!:lm il i a r wit h t he A.l i r ed Langset h mat t er I wheroupon Dr. Gold1)e r e ' s ce rt i fi c ate t he Cle r k o f t h ,. Co urt o t' Li ncoln County
has iJ G.id monthly compe n sat ion i n t he surn o!' ~5.50 . 00, ::h,~n in a letter to
hiD l u.\·tyers, Kirl g anti Ki ng of Salt La ke Ci ty , U~ :J.h , VJe declin e d to vay
more than ;55. 00. 1 would li ki; t o ha ve an ame11or11ent sayinb that the Clerk
of the Court s hal l not forvn:o..r d ~ionthl y con1pemmt ion wpon cer-c ificates of
continued di sabi l it y not autho~•i ze ri by • •.e e: 11 l oyer . It seer:1s th at the
Clor-k or t. ne Court. at Kemmerer \':oul cl authorize th~ paying out _·or . compensation funds at t he r eq uest o f any doctor. where;_:1.s no doctor saoulci have the
ri~ht to a ... t horize it . The Cl6rk of the Sweet wa ter Co unty Diutrict Court
~oald not t hi nk of do i nt suc1 a th i ng.

2. Upor. pay itlci tho SfJve r al Clarks t he fo t;:al fees, the law
should direct t ha t they shoul d 6 ive a list of all corn;ensi:ition cases
1~onthly to any emp l oy er r e que stin g th e; s ,ar.'le . In looking after the .
interests of t hE:: ~outhern ·:iyominb Coal Op era.tors Association I have been
unable to 6 et a repo r t from e i the1' Ca r bon or Uinta Counties. In Carbon
County the refusal has been direct and af firma._tive. Of course, there is
no law compelling the Cle.rk of t he Court t o ~ive ·the infon:iation, and the
Listrict Judge refuses to require her to do it•

3.

I think tt.e wording ·of the 3tatute ~hould be chan~ed so
that a survivine, S,l)OUse will receive ~45 .oo a :ionth until th!re 16 a
ren,arriage, in v,hich cas e ~2'/0,00 will be awarded. h~r as a fins.~ award~
anci provided fi..rther that the maximum that a surviv.rng spouse may receive
