In the following pages these questions have been answered in the light of the law under which the insurance is afforded. It is hoped that this pamphlet will give de- 1. Q. Wlzat is tlze FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION and lzow was it established? A. It is a Corporation created for the purpose of insuring bank deposits. It was established by an act of Congress approved June 16, 1933. 2. Q. Wlzo controls tlze Corporation? A. A board of directors of three members. Two are appointed by the President by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. The other member is the Comptroller of the Currency, who serves ex officio. Not more than two directors can be from the same political party. posits of four banks which have been closed since 3. Q. Where are tlze offices of tlze Insurance Corporation? A. The main office is in Washington, D.C., and there are 15 district offices situated in various sections of the country. (A list of these district offices, with the territories they serve, is to be found on p. 10.) the Corporation went into operation were being THE INSURANCE positors, in particular, and the general public as well, a clearer idea of what deposit insurance is doing for them. In actual results the plan has been eminently satisfactory. For example, insured de- paid on August I. It was estimated that 99 percent of their depositors would be paid in full. The depositors of closed insured banks are assured of immediate payment. In the four suspensions cited above the Corporation has begun paying depositors within ten days of the appointment of a receiver. 4. Q. Wlzat is deposit insurance? A. The protection of depositors against loss of • their deposits in the event of bank failure. At the present time the maximum amount insured for each depositor is $5,000. 5. Q. When did the FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION begin insuring deposits? A. January r, 1934. THE FUND 6. Q. What is the Temporary Federal Deposit Insurance Fund? A. A fund created by payments from insured banks. Page2 Page3 �7. Q. How long will the temporary phase of d:sit insurance continue? A. By act of Congress it is to continue until] uly 1 1935, whenitwill be replaced by the permanent plan: 8. Q. Is the FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CoRP0RATI0N a permanent organization? A. Yes. g. Q. What is the source ef the monrys ef the Insurance Corporation? A. They come from three sources: A subscription from the Treasury of the United States of $150,000,000, a subscription from the Federal Reserve banks of about $140,000,000, and payments by insured banks. 10. Q. How large is the Fund and how are its monrys invested? A. At the present time it amounts to $320,000,000 and is being held in cash or invested in United States Government securities. The Corporation may also issue its bonds to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to the amount of another $250,000,000, although this has not been done as yet. ELIGIBLE BANKS II. Q. Do all banks have deposit insurance? A. All banks which are members of the Federal Reserve System (which includes all nati~nal banks in the United States and some State banks) were required by law to join the Temporary Federal Deposit Insurance Fund. State banks not members of the Federal Reserve System were free to apply for insurance or not as they chose. The great majority of them are now insured. 12. Q. How are insured banks to be distinguished? A. After October r, x934, insured banks will carry the insignia of the F.D.I.C. at their receiving ·windows. (A reproduction of it is to be found on P· x_x.) Further, they have been supplied with a certificate of membership which they will be glad to show you. Page4 ' I 3· Q. How many banks are members ef the fund? A. On August I, 1934, there were 14,054 of the nation's banks in the fund. Of these, 963 were State member banks of the Federal Reserve System, 5,438 were national banks, and 7,653 were State nonmember banks. 14. Q. Can mutual savings banks become insured by the Corporation? A. Yes. The benefits of deposit insurance are available to mutual savings banks. I 5. Q. Can savings banks become members ef the Temporary Federal Deposit Insurance Fund? A: Yes; together with all banks doing a deposit busmess they are free to apply for insurance. 16. Q. Among insured banks, why has interest on demand deposits been prohibited and a maximum interest rate set for time and savings deposits? A. Under the Banking Act of 1933, banks. which are members of the Federal Reserve System are prohibited from paying any interest on demand deposits and it is made the duty of the Federal Reserve Board to adopt regulations prescribing the maximum rates of interest to be paid on time and savings deposits. To carry out this policy and in the interest of sound banking the Federal Reserve Board set the maximum rate ofinterest at 3 percent on time and savings deposits. The member banks to which this regulations applied were required to insure their deposits. Other banks were permitted to insure their deposits upon voluntary application. Congress declared that all banks should enjoy equally the benefits of insurance. In order to secure such equal enjoyment it was necessary for the FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION by regulation, to prevent the banks which were no; members of the Federal Reserve System from paying any interest on demand deposits and from paying a higher rate of interest on time and savings deposits than could be paid under the lawful regulations of the Federal Reserve Board. An important Page5 �, , attribute of sound banking has thus been extended to all insured banks. DEPOSITS INSURED 22. Q. What is meant by tlze phrase "owner of a claim arising out of a deposit liability" of a closed bank? A. Any person holding evidence of a bank's deposit obligation to him or evidence of some debt arising from the bank's deposit obligations is considered the owner of a claim against the deposit liabilities of a closed bank. CLOSED BANKS 17. Q. When a bank is closed through inability to pay its depositors, does the Insurance Corporation make tlze insured portion of deposits immediately available? A. Yes. Just as soon as a receiver or liquidator has been put in charge the Insurance Corporation proceeds to make the insured deposits available to the depositors. 23. Q. Are any deposits preferred under the scheme of deposit insurance? A. No. All share equally in the benefits of deposit insurance. 18. Q. What is the method for making available to the depositors the insured amount of their deposits? A. A new national bank is immediately set up by the F.D.I.C. to pay the insured deposits of the closed bank. 24. Q. Do all types of deposits have the benefits of insurance? A. Yes. All types of personal and corporate deposit obligations, deposits of public funds, and deposits of other banks in insured banks are included in the plan. Trust funds awaiting investment are also included in this insurance. 19. Q. Does the new national bank set up by the F.D.I.C. pay interest on the insured accounts of the closed institution? A. No. Interest is not paid on the insured accounts of closed institutions. 20. Q. What happens to a closed bank after the Corporation has taken over the insured deposit liability? A. A closed bank is placed in liquidation. If it be a national bank the Comptroller of the Currency appoints the Corporation as receiver. If it be a State bank the Corporation may or may not be appointed receiver, depending upon whether the State law authorizes such appointment and upon the discretion of the appointing power. To facilitate liquidation the Corporation may purch~e the assets of the closed bank if it be a member of the Federal Reserve System. 2 I. Q. Does the Corporation pay the insured deposits regardless of the reason for failure of a closed bank? A. Yes. The purpose of deposit insurance is to prevent loss to depositors and hence the reason for failure does not influence the Corporation's liability. Page6 l 25. Q. Must' a depositor have $5,000 in his account before he can enjoy insurance benefits? A. No. Five thousand dollars is the insured limit for one depositor and all amounts up to and including that are fully insured. Accounts larger than that are insured up to $5,000. This does not mean that a depositor with an account of $ 100 will be paid $5,000 in the event his bank closes, but it does mean that he will get all of his $100. 26. Q, What proof of his claim is it necessary for a depositor in a closed bank to present in order to bepaid his insured deposit? A. His pass book, certificates, or other evidence of the closed bank's deposit debt to him and some means of personal identification are sufficient proof of the depoiitor's claim. 27. Q. Ifa depositor has billsfalling due and his bank is closed, can he check against the insuredportion ofhis account? A. No. The closed bank will be in the hands of the receiver. However, the new bank of the Page 7 �<? Insurance Corporation will make immediately available the insured amount due him so that he will not be greatly inconvenienced. 28. Q. How does the Corporation pay the insured deposits? A. As the claims of depositors are approved and allowed, orders are issued which may be paid at once or through the Federal Reserve bank of the Reserve district where the closed bank is situated. 29. Q. May the depositor get the insured portion of his account in cash? A. Yes. The depositor may be paid in cash if he so desires. ' 33. Q. Would it be possible to take four equal negotiable certificates of deposit for an account of $20,000 and thus procure full insurance? A. No. This would cause their holder to be an owner in the same right and in the same capacity and, hence, his insurance claim would be limited to $5,000. If after taking them out the original owner subsequently transferred them to four separate persons in the usual course of business, each of those holders would, however, have an insured claim. 30. Q. If a bank customer has unused traveler's checks in his possession at the time tlze issuing bank suspends, will they be accepted as claims against the insured deposit liabiliry of the bank? A. If the traveler's checks issued by the closed bank are the outgrowth of the holder's deposits they are acceptable to the limit of the insurance. 3 I . Q. If the books of a bank show that a husband and wife each have an account in each of their names and, in addition, have a jointly owned account, does each of these accounts come under the benefits of the insurance and are they considered separately in determining the amount due under the insurance limit? A. Yes; if the accounts are in fact owned as shown on the bank records. In the case of the jointly owned account, however, the right of survivorship must have been provided. 32. Q. If an estate of $20,000 is being held in a closed bank and there are four heirs to share equally in it, is the account thus fully insured? A. If the title of the account states the names of the four heirs and specifies that they are to share equally, the account is separately owned in four equal undivided parts and the individual owners are fully protected. If the title is not so held the account is considered as a unit and the amount payable by the Insurance Corporation is limited to the maximum of$5,ooo.

In reply to your letter of April 24, will s i,.~go~, . that after a lost-time accident, the parties involved and witncs t: <.::~ t o i.-, e accident, including the Unit Foreman, give an account of' the ac-:;:i(i,_. J. to thu Safety Engineer as s?on as possible, to get the true facts of t , ,; :::as e . ..lso that the management finds out more facts on just how it happer, :' , and b o a littltr more strict about the case. Accidents that have been happuning in the Hanna Mines are due to a lot of carelessness, such as a nipper splicing a cable without taking off the power, causing a severe burn of t he hand; also of a motorman letting a knife slip and cutting another man on the leg, resulting in a bad cut on leg which took eight stitches. These accidents should have. been avoided and I think they should have been investigated. There are too many accidents of that kind ancl should be stopped by the Unit i"oreman . and the S~fety Engineer, with the help of the management. Maybe we do not talk enough or raise enough 11 hell, 11 but I think it i s time to do something about it, I am writing to you my ideas in regard to safety as it was suggested at the last meeting of the Sigma Tau ~psilon. First of all, the rooms should have plenty of timb er, they should be of the right siz u and set up in the right plac es, Ther e should also be a clearance throughout the mine at all timus. Subject: Safety Suggestion for No, 4 Tipple, Rock Springs: Our pros unt practice at No, 4 I.fine is for the tipplcman to bell thu Engineer to stop on the knuckle, othurwis e he comes straight through. I suggest that the engineer be instruct ud to stop on th(; knucklu every trip, unless he gets e. bell to pull onto th e tipple . Thi.:r c is a. possibility that the bull may gut out of order o.nd th e engint:<.:r mo.y not gut a. . bell to stop, If there should be a loaded trip standing on thi.: tippl u hu would push it through the dump, with our pres~nt pr~ctic 0. This would probably reduce the possibilit y of an r1cc i d<..:nt by ::. mechanical failure, or man f .- iilure, In accordance with your suggestion at the la~·t ..., . 'L .:.:i. rnu0t:i.ng for suggestions concerning safety or production, I would liko t o sugg8st that all new men, that is all men starting to work for the Coal Compa.ny, should be shown where the first aid equipment is kept on their section so that if they ever need it, they will not have to wander all over the mine to find it. Liy suggestion on safety is on cross bonds, grounds and wires for lights on partings or haulage ways where the men travel back and forth to their work, Since I have been in D. O. Clark Mine in 7 Seam, 2 North Parting, when coming off shift I had two men trip on a ground wire and -it was just good luck that they did not get hurt. I think the cross bonds should be nailed down to the ties and the ground wires to the lights should be trenched in the bottom or a flexible wire used. In regard to my suggestions toward improving our safety record, I have found nothing new of importance to suggest, only in a general way. As I a.'il on a committee on handling and use of e}.."J)losives, the Book of Standards and State Laws are adequate on this. However, I would like to suggest that everyone be sure the pv:;0r is off before taking powder to the face. Also that working places b e kept in as good a condition as possible, by keeping them clean and well timbered to improve efficienay and safety. One suggestion I should like to uakc, as a s a f vt,:: :Ieasure, would be to equip all drilling machines with clutches t hat n ill vie-~· J,; d-.;::.• :u1y conditions and at all times, �I / / I - 3 - In Prevention of Injuries from Slipping and Falling of Persons I personally think too much can not be said of the importance of seeing th~t the heels of mine shoes are kept up, that is, when worn off at the back 1 sides or worn down low, are replaced with new ones so that when stepping on a piece ~f coal, roe}{ or other object and slipping, one has a better chance to prevent himself from turning an ankle or "falling, or other injury by being able t'o regain balance sooner as stepping on anything with center of foot will very soon throw one off guard or bal~nce, and an unworn heel or sole can be of great help. Heads up- (if not too low coal) and alertness can be of great help in safety. In regard to some safety practice as requested by the Sigma Tau Epsilon, I suggest the follow:iing: I have noticed the unsafe practice of timbering in conveyor places where Duckbills are used, Timbers are not always secure where they are subject to being knocked out unnoticed with Duckbill while it is being moved. More caution should be taken while swinging Duckbill.s. I am writing in :regard to a safety suggestion. I have noticed as mining machines are pulled to the face that the hook on the cutter bar sheave does not get a full hold on cutter bar and it flies off. As a r ul e the faceman and Duckbill man are loading with their backs to the machine and the cutter bar sheave might hit one of them and cause an accident. I think t hat a hook on the cutter bar sheave should get a full hold of the cutter bar. I think that if we c·o uld instill into the workers the t hought af ob- serving their surroundings themselves and not depend on someone else to draw their attention to what might happen, it would help a lot in lowering the accident rate, One of the worst things that I notice 'is, 11 lJh Hell, that I s good enough - let the other shift fix it up, tr in other words ,just fix it -·so we can get by for this shift. Sooner or later this practice catches up with the fellow that does it and an accident follows. Another thought which comes to me is that when there is a change made in any working condition or practice that same should be posted at the mine so the worker would know what to expect from the Unit Foreman and a more uniform method of instructing worker would result. I believe that some of the accidents occurring at and near the working face of our mines, caused by falls of roof, face and rib coal, may be prevented by training and frequently reminding the men to sound the roof often, to keep the working places sufficiently and properly timbered and to promptly take down all overhanging face and rib coal, · Since Unit Foremen make frequent visits to the working places in their sections, they should carefully observe the condition of them, promptly have.any unsafe condition corrected and explain to the men the importance of the working pr.actices ment~oned herein. I think that if all switches were kept clean that there would be less trouble. Some rope riders or motormen throw a switch not paying any attention whether there is dirt between the latches or not and then run the trip in, Sometimes the latches are a little open and of course off the track they go, then of course they are put on the track, sometimes spreading :it • . ,:.1ki!:g it necessary to take track layers from another place, which is u : t , • ..•. for, There are other things such as cars behind brattice, which I con &,...,er dang.Jrous both to men and rope runners, also. where lll8n leave nails in boards or 2x41s, which. is a dangex-ous practice. �I Very often men, while moving the ratchet across the room face j~st . walk up and knock out a prop to le~ them across the face. The prop halbeen placed there for a purpose and should not be knocked out until another has been placed as near as possible to the one to be knocked out. I would suggest a campaign be made by all concerned to train our men as a whole to use this method. In reply to 1ir. I. N. Bayless' request, I am in favor of this corporation with anything pertaining to safety and feel it is our duty as Unit Foremen to offer our suggestions, and I, myself, with nearly 50 years of experience in coal rnining in Wyoming and Utah at all kinds of work in or around coal mines and I sincerely believe that the main thll'.lg in coal mines is the careful laying of tracks to see if they are well balanced, levelled and well filled in, good clearance, well timbered where necessary, especially on haulage ways. I am always willing to do my part for better and more up-to-date practice. I'll stick to the same as I suggested to you about a month ago when you were on my section, that is the nips in the mining machine cables should be installed within fifty feet of the mining machine in room and pillar workings. The safety end of this is that as props are set it often intraps the cable so that they have to be knocked out to release the cable. It also saves time and parts. As it is, often the controller sticks, arcs and fires before you can run to pull the switch and the: controller is burned to costly repair where the cable could bu jerked vury hard to pull the nips apart to cut the power off. I notice that the loads at times arc wildcatted down the high line from the outside landing yards immediately after a motor trip and the nipper rides these loads until they catch the motor trip which is also in motion. At times it bumps very hard and the nipper jumps from car to car, standing up as the trip is going down to the tipple. He gets in between the bumpers to couple on the main trip and it the trip pulls apart or gets off track he is in a very bad spot. This is a bad practice. Suggest these men read Book of Rules on haulage. Does our failure to reduce the accidents occurring on the outside serve as evidence that the men who do the work do not hear enough about safety methods to make them Safety-Conscious? • Accidents due to carelessness are by far too common. Will frequent advice to be more cautious and careful, especially at the beginning of a new job, serve as a present n·ecessary incentive? It is my opinion that the Company Rules together with the Book of Standards cover nearly every phase of the Union Pacific Operation, however no systematic study or follow through on these two books has ever been undertaken. In this connection another suggestion has been advanced by Mr. Bayless relative to a study or educational course for Unit Foremen. V~,y not have someone in the General Office abstract these two books, sending mimeogr:.: . phed copies each two or three weeks to each camp of a part of these two books for a general talk and discussion that would cover about one hour and thus study and review the contents of the Standards and Rules? � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

A~parently there is a confusion as to whether this L'lall is an employee of the Rattlesnake Creek ~ater Company or an em- ployee of the Union Pacific. Coal Company. Dr. Strader is under the i1:1pression that his pre~ious fee of f;ll0.00 was paid by the Hospital Commission at Hanna , when perhaps tha t Commission had nothing to do ,tlth the caoe.

Finch, Coal Company Physician at Hanna, for treatment of an eye injury. Our records show that he was~reated at the time as a Coal Company case and we rnade no report to the State Compensation Department nor to the County Clerk. Tie were paid ten dollars (~10.00) presumably by the Hospital Coliliilission, although our r eco rds do not show definitely that the check car.1e from the Hospital Commission. On ~rch 6th, 1926, he ,re.s referred by Dr. Finch with a letter stating they wished to have a final examination oade to determine what vision he has in the injured eye. The letter also stated that he uas a compensation case and that at the time he uas injured he uas Yrorking for the Rattlesnake Creek Water Company and is still an employee of that company. I might add that his vision in the injured eye - right - is 20/70 and with correction" is 20/30 plus. He has a very ·slight linear scar across the center of the cornea. I run giving you this history of the case so that you may advise me whether this should be reported as a State Coriipensation case' at this time, nearly a year after the injury \78.S received, Liarch 21, 1925.
