There is hereby created a fund to be known as the "industrial accident fund," which shall be held by the state treasurer and by him deposited in such banks as are authorized to receive deposits of the funds of the state. The treasurer in making said deposits shall divide the said industrial accident fund into two distinct funds, one to be known as the "general fund" and the other to be known as the "reserve fund." The "general fund" as near as may be, shall be used for payment of all awards, claims and items of expense chargeable against the industrial accident fund, and .the "reserve fund" shall not be used for any of said payments unless the "general fund" at the time is insufficient to �WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION ACT 15 meet the demands upon it, in which case the treasurer shall transfer from t he "reserve f und" to the " general fund" a sufficient amount to meet the • immediate demands upon said "general fund." The purpose of creating said "reserve f und" is to provide a f und within the industrial accident fund sufficiently large to pay great a nd unu sual demands upon the industrial accident fund which might be caused by a large disaster or by several such disasters occurring within a short time, a nd the "rese rve fu nd" shall be kept apart from the "general fund," and as near as may be unused in accordance with said purpose.

Such payment shall be so made on or before the 15th day of the month follo,ving the month for which such payments are computed and paid. Each employer shall continue to. make monthly contributions as above provided unless his account, after making the hereinafter specified deductions therefrom, shall equal full two per cent (2%) of his annual payroll computed by multiplying his current month's payroll' of workmen engaged in eA'tra-hazardous employment by twelve and shall likewise be not less than three thousand dollars ($3,000.00) provided, however, that any employer whose account is overdrawn shall be required to pay monthly a sum of �16 WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION ACT money (including the payments as above specified) equal to four per .cent ( 4 % ) of the money earned by each of his employes engaged in such extrahazardous employment during each calendar month of such employment until such overdraft shall be paid.

In additi on t o the other paymen ts r eqµired by this section to be paid into the indu strial ac.cident fund, every employer engaged in any of t he occupations herein defi ned as extra-hazardous shall make a payment to be known as a "service and policing charge."

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 depositors, 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 deposits of four banks which have been closed since the Corporation went into operation were being 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. Page2 �THE CORPORATION 1. Q What is the FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION and how 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 Who controls the 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. 3. Q. Where are the offices of the 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 INSURANCE 4. Q. What 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 1, 1934. THE FUND 6. Q. What is the Temporary Federal Deposit Insurance Fund? A. A fund created by payments from insured banks. Page3 �~ 7. Q. How long will the temporary phase of deposit insurance continue? A. By act of Congress itis to continueuntilJuly 1, 193 5, when it will be replaced by the permanent plan. 8. Q . Is the FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION a permanent organization? A. Yes. g. Q. What is the source of the moneys of the Insurance Corporation? A. They come from three sources: A subscription from the Treasury of the United States of $150,ooo,ooo, 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 moneys 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 I I. Q. Do all banks have deposit insurance? A. All banks which are members of the Federal Reserve System (which includes all national 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. Q. How are insured banks to be distinguished? A. After October 1, 1934, insured banks will 12. carry the insignia of the F.D.l.C. at their receiving windows. (A reproduction ofit is to be found on p. I 1.) Further, they ha.,ve 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 1, 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. 15. Q. Can savings banks become members ef the Temporary Federal Deposit Insurance Fund? A. Yes; together with all banks doing a deposit business they are free to apply for insurance. 16. Q. Among insured banks, wlzy 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 of interest 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 not 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. CLOSED BANKS 17. Q. Wizen a bank is closed through inability to pay its depositors, does the Insurance Corporation make the insured portion of deposits immediate?J 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. 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. 19. Q. Does the new national bank set up by the F.D.1.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 tlze 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 1. 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 ! �DEPOSITS INSURED 22. Q. What is meant by the 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. 23. Q. Are any deposits preferred under the scheme of deposit insurance? A. No. All share equally in the benefits of deposit insurance. 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. 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 depositor's claim. 2 7. Q. If a 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 iT1Sured 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. 30. Q. If a bank customer has unused traveler's checks in his possession at the time the 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 r. 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 $5,000. PageB �---~ . Q. Wo~ld it be po~sible to take four equal negotiable certificates of deposit for an account of $20,000 33 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.

C ou.pled to this situation, I think we should ask Mr. Murray to go over the community houses, inspecting the equipment ·w hich might be knocked down, not only fire extinguishers, but clocks, pictures, etc., all of which should be safely fastened.

He uas standing in the crowded vestibule, and, in a spirit of friendliness , reached out to slap a friend on the buck who \'Jas passlng through the door and then stepped back and his shoulder caught the bottom of the fire extinguisher and dislodged it from the hook. The extinguisher, ~eighing about 45 pounds, fall and ca ught him on t~e foot, breaking his foot. The extinguisher \'las hanging in the southeast corner of the vestibule and the top of it ~as&} feet from the floor. It was installed on a regulation hook ~1hich wa s in good condition and, i n addition, had spikes on each side of it to keep it from suaying, so that it uas necessary to raise the extinguisher before i t could be dislodged. The accompanying sketch will shocr the approximate p os i t ion of the extinguisher and a diagrw:i of the room. I am als o including the hook which held the extinguisher, for your observat ion.

We should pay what is absolutely just and right in this case, as we do in all cases, but I do not. believe we should agree to any undue payment beyond the extent of the injuryo I am glad to know you discussed with Dr. Chambers the matter of the Advisory Bos.rd. I also discussed this matter with Mr. litcAuliffe as you suggested, and he thou@l.t your suggestion that we bring the dooto~s in with Arthur Lee Talieferro was a good one.

I now plan to have Dro Chambers and Dro Lauzer make a complete examination and report, together with recommendations, on this caseo I am inclined to believe that these doc.~ ors will recommend that Corra be sent to some other doctor for an opinion. I also discussed with these doctors the matter of the Medical Advisory Board's not fu.ncti~ning properly and Dro Chambers told me that he will go before the doctors at their next meeting and re quest that they make decisions on the oases which are put before the Board, trying to handle them in an orderly way.

Bayless Assistant General Manager The Union Pacific Coal Company City Dear Sir: I have read the corres1Jondence.? including the letter of Doctor Krueger addressed to you.? and dated February "Ith. Upon the face of it;., Doctor Krueger's letter is a "negative preg:uantn., and does not in fact answer your question. I think it would be well, some time next week, to have the Doctor come to my office, so that we can dismuss the matter from the viev~-point of the la:w, and the facts,. It would certainly seem to the writer _that a rupture caused from lifting, \"lhile the i'iorkman nas actually performing work in extra~hazardous employment with The Union Pacific Coal Company, inould show ·some breaking of tissues, or there could not have been then and there a rupture. It would seem to the writer that this is a selfevident axiom. To determine whether or not there was tearing of tissues at the time and place of the employment is essentially the province of the surgeon, and if the surgeon cannot discover any such rupture, the s1 tuation is no diffe1.. ent than if the ,i'!orkman had been struck on the head by a hammer, and could not discover who struck him. Hernias resulting from trauma or violence, causing rupture, are compensable, but hernias which are congenital, of slow but steady development, and which may be "fired" by the person stepping in an automobile, bending over to pick up a pin, or lifting some heavy substance, are not compensable, because the ~ernia in fact existed long· before the time and place of the pain, and long before the time and place .of the rupture, and ·was not primarily due to the employment, but was primarily due to the person's physical condition, like the gradual loss of hearj,ng, which the v.Titer is experiencing, or the gradual dimming 'o f 'the eyes, which the writer is experiencing. . �STAld>AllO ll>-Gt-10,000 FORM 2103 SUBJECT: THE UNION PACIFIC COAL COMPANY, IN REPLY PLEASE REFER TO OFFICE OF NO.

This case ,llill be of interest to you, because I think The Union Pacific Coal Company has one or t wo similar caseso I ·want you t .o read the testimony given by Dra ,'ianner, which illustrates the jeopardy vre are in at all timeso I find out that I make a mista ke in a former case, which mistake I avoided in this case, and I also avoided it in the Union Pacific case of Eugene Griglione. I 'think I told you the many letters and messages that I sent to General Attorney Loomis. I had this transcription made especially for the benefit of 1~r. Be.yless, and I ask you to turn it over to him when you have read Dr. 'Jlanner' s testimony. On second thought, I think it would be well for you also to get a good picture of how easy it is to get one Doctor in ten or fifteen togive testimony, which will support almost any outrageous claim. If Dr. ·:!anner ha d examined this vrnrlciilan constantly from the time that he went to the Denver specialists, the Lion Coal Company would have lost the case. It may be expensive, and this case was ex9 ensive for the Lion Coal Com·Jany, but we must send our patients to the specialists near the ti~-e of trial and after local Doctors have committed themselves. This case was expensive for me, the time that I put in on the case being worth a good deal more than the Lion Coal Company ;.- .•ill pay : ! e f or two :1ears. 1 Kindly treat this letter e,s confidential between you and Ifr.

I was unable to find any physical eviaence to support the man's sympt0ms at a ny time.

Do you mean , d i d I find any objective signs, signs th&t I could see, of physical disability? Yes, objective symptoms. We speak of objective si g ns as something we can see, a nd subjective as something tha t the patient feels. I hc1.ve never been able to find any objective signs at all to account for his alleged trouble or symptoms. Now, in your opinion, do you believe tl1at there are subjective symptoms or that there is something wrong with the man mentally? Yes, I have formed a definite opinion in that regard through this period of time in which I had observed him and in readin.-:, the re1Jorts of the specialists wbo have examined him, and I have fanned a definite opinion as to what I think his trouble is. Q, What is that opinion? A. My opinion is that he has a condition known as post-trau.-rnatic �4 neurosis, or p sy chosis. I believe the man believes in his o wn mind tha t these thin gs a re wron g with him. At first I wa s incli ned to believe, li k e the oth e r men, t ha t the man v1 a s an out-and-out ma ling er er, but I am convince d now that he is not. I believe , if y ou wan t to so c all it, tbat it is a mil d form o f insanity. Q, . In y o u r opi nio n , is this mental con d ition due to the inj ur ie s whi ch he s u st a i ned i n Octo ber , 1 93 1? A. In my personal opinio n , it could be _p ossi ble . MR .

I think I wil .1 l et the a nsvrnr stand. Does this post-traumatic neuro sis d isable this man from performing work a t a t,ainful occup a tion? As lon g as it exists, yes. I wil l ask you to state whether or not, in your o,l)inion, the post-traumatic neurosis condition that you found to be present in connection with this case, or this p a rticular workman, Vfa sil Levkulich, is permanent or merely temporary. I am unable to _answer that ciefinitely, but, to quote again from the authorities on similar cases, I would say that many times in such 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 has been settled. Doctor, are you a member of the Sweetwater County lunacy commission? Yes, sir. �5 Q,. A. Q. • A. Vlha t would you say as to the mentality of this workman? Is it normal, above normal or , below normal? Not knowing the man before his present condition, I would not be able to say definitely, but I would probably classify him as being somewhat below normal. From your e xamina tion of this man, Doctor, do you know definitely, or even approximately, when this post-traumatic neurosis was cievel oped or wh en it became present in the man to such an ext ent that he could not :perform work at a gainful occupation? I under s t and the man llR. TALIAFERRO : I object to what h e understands, if Your Ho nor p le ase . A. You mean, since t~'le injury? A. Q• Since the injury. It is my opinion that the trau ma tic ne uro s i s took place i!Ilmediately follo wing h i s injury. Q, . And was present at the da te o f your last examin ati on in A. September, 1 g33? Yes, sir. Q.. A. Coul d you state from your casua l observat ion of this man after t hat ti me whether t ha t con diti on still existed at the time you saw him, and. , if so, appro xima tely what time or date that VJ as? The only ·way I could an s v1er that is that the last time I personally s aw him and e.xan1ined him, it existed, and tn t a lki ng to ::!l.embers o f his family and others, the condition was app a rently the ea..--ne v1hen I would inquire about him. A. In othe r v1 ords, you keyt in close touch with this case sin ce its inceptio n to the p rese n t time, is that correct? Fairly close, through asking about his v1elfare from his other doctors and his wife a nd one or t wo qf his children that I have seen. A. I will ask you to state, to ascertain anci to realize that 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 which· are demonstrated by actual physical findings, such as x-ray pictures, and there are some that we are not able to demonstrate and yet we know they exist. Q, . Q,. A, 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 symptoms. �6 Q, A. I will ask you, then, in a case like this, referring to this particul ar case of this man, V/ asi 1 Levh.7J.li ch, could some d octor, ·by ex amining him only once, determine whether or not he was sufferin g from tra umatic neurosis or · would it require ~n ob s erva tion over a period of time? I believe it would be necess a r y to observe a ny type of neurosis or p s ychosis to d etermine whether it was present and to ,vha t degree. !lIR . GiiLICICH: You may cross-examine.

When did I form tha t opinion? Yes, when did y ou form tha t o_p inion? I believe I form ea. th a t opinion after the man wa s examined in Denv e r. Not until a fte r he v1as e xami ned in Denver did you form that opin io n? Ye s, s ir. Did you form that o p i n ion, a s y ou h a ve stated, from the report s tha t were received fro m these specialists in Denver and Sa lt Lak e? The r eJ!orts woul d indic a te t hat the man d id not have a traumatic n eu ro sis. ~A. An d you fanned that opinion af ter you had read these reports? Yes, sir. Q. • So th a t you didn't f orm y our o pinion as to the physical and men ta 1 condition o f this c l a i!llant from what these o th.er sur6 eon s ha Ye said? I was able to se:para te the v,hea t from the chaff, so to speak, a nd from the highlights of their findings, these complete re_t->orts, I was able to sift down and correlate them, a.nd I formed my opinion from that source rather than from what the doctors' opinions were of the case. A. Q. A. You testified at one time that you arrived at that conclusion as to the condition of this workman from \'!hat the specialists had said about him, v1 ria t they reported? I did. • ~A. You arrived at it from what they said? Yes, sir. Q.

But you h a ven't e xan1ined him since he returned from Denver a nd Salt L a ke, except to see him on the street'? According to my records, I don't believe I have examined him. I say, you h a ven't examined h im since ·you sent him to Denver-: He h a s been s ince tha t, yes. He went to Mayos' since then. Have you exam in ed him since he ,a ent to :Ma y os''? No, sir.

I hand you a copy of a letter, and see if you can identify that as being a letter tha t you wrote. The ori gin a l, of course, is in Denver. Yes, sir. A. You wrote that letter, did you? Yes, sir. Q,.

No, th a t is not true, in my sense of the interpretation of it, a s to what other means I had.
