interruption of the opt.Jrations s:1ould be studied ce:.rufully to ;orevent

In reply to t :ie suu;cstion that thu ;:lembcrs of .::.ir;r.-,a 'f au Lpsilon
nritc a letter r.1.akinc so1.1e reco:1J;1end.:i.tio11 for safety, .( uould like to rccouraend that· all han~-operated ci.rillint; r,w.chines be equipped 11it!1 a sd'ety

•.e have had quite a nur.1ber of injuries fror:1 C:.rillil.1:;; r1iacl1iw.Js am.i

remetliecl.

I thil.1.k ne have a r;ood Safoty Pro£,;ra1. but it is not lived up to.
I thillk by closer supurvision anc el1.f orcint the rules ::1ore nc 11ould have
a better safety recorC.: il.1 all the r,tlnes.
I noulci like to SUGJ est fror.1 a safety standpoint t hat all pans on
uischart,:;e end of shaker conve;yors be i'rce fror.1 lu.;s, fans t ;w.t ;1~wu be en
broken, or lugs broken off, could be used insteau of cut tin:; oi':1.' ~;ooLi lJ2 l1S.
we do not practice this ·a1tog;etlwr in our r;dne but I think it ,:oulC: b e
so1.1e a&lt;ivantaie, ;w.so use a rail instead of tics or props i'or a deacl i.,ru1,
I think that all uen should be thorouchly instructul about the use
of brattice, for bratticc is usucl like doors and should be closed at all
tii.1es. The majority of men G.O not understand this, and leave thc1:1 open, re..;arclless of r1i1eru they uay be, in roor.i necks or travelil.1.:; r!ays.
To rily estiuation this is a very danaerous practice, especially il.1
old mines ~-rhere ii1en aru Y!orlcil.1c in entry stuups, two or three hundred feet
in fror.~ tl!c outside roou. lf there should be any gas-cs in the C:eac: ends,
ancl if t!w brattice is loft opr,.a1, it nill s!1ort cut the air and 1,1ay back out

I don 1 t know oi' any accidc.mts that i1av&lt;::: happuned on this account
but if this practice is o.llov1ed to contil.1uc, an accident r:i.ay happen.
I noulcl like to r.:iake the folloi·,in 0 sui;;gestion in re card to safety
in our mines:
I think the job of tiGberiJ.1g should be Given a little more thoue;;llt.
·:i1ile we are usint:; a I.tore or· less systeHatic methoq. of t.iEbering in our r.tlnes,
I ti1.ink ,·, e should pay more attention t"o each particula1· place, and if one
s~•stcu does not suit, ci.cvise one that \"rill. I think a little more care al.on.:;
thos~ l.ines ~1oulcl probably llavu soue effect in rcducin.'.; our accidents due to
falls of top.
Safety should be thought of at all tir,ies -r:hether at 11ork, at hone,
or on the higlmays. iJy thinking of safety it alv1~ys rGr,t lncis us to be carei'ul and also the r1en that are w1clcr your jurisdiction. If everybody '.!oulcl
think more of safety, I believe ne would have a better safatJ· rucorc.i.

In ans~1er to your request for SU[;;f;estions for so.f ety, I ·.:ould
recon11aend the use of leather gloves when llanclling uaterial, c:. • o t:.at

In reply to your letter of April 24, will s i,.~go~, . that after a
lost-time accident, the parties involved and witncs t: &lt;.::~ 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:&lt;.: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&lt;..: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,

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 &amp;,...,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?

Mro Ho CD Livingston:
Your letter of December 23 , together with
copy of letter from Mro Pete r nell, Safety Engineer,
. suggests action along the line tha t I had in mind in my
letter of December 16, e.nd would suggest th0.t you h ave
Mro Peternell and Mro Tibbs develop in detail the kind
and co s t of equipment they would require for this program,
keeping in mind that these are changing timeso
A general discussion of this subject by the
entire staff will be desirable, and I would suggest that
you schedule such a discussion for the week of January 6,
which I expect to spend in Rock Springs.

We are giving this matter due consideration

and \?e attach, hereto, copy of report by Safet7 Engineer Peternell.si
dated December 20, 1946, t,his subject.
The first step in kecpine the employes informed of progress
will be the postine of a larae scale graph nt. each mine, graph approximately 24 11 x 36", showing in black the trend during the previous year
and in red the trend durins the curri::mt year, i7hich will he extended

VJe believe the visual it0ms mentioned in Mr. Peternell' s

report have merit.

\ie can obtai n motion pictures for our safety meet-

ings and Yle believe that photographs taken on the property, with scenes
staged for safety violation a nd pictures posted on bulletin boards,
would be helpful.

This wi ll acknowledge re9eipt of the statement
of injuries and man-hours worked per injury for November,
and for the per1.od January 1 to November 30, 1946,. compared
·With 19450

You should continue to send this information to me,
and I would suggest that you have this information duplicated
and posted on all bulletin boards at the mines, the bulletins
to be changed each month.
It will be necessary that we devise some method of
keeping employee informed of progress in accident prevention,
as we do not want any letup in safety.

In fact we should try

to improve our safety record as employes become more stable.
Suggest .you discuss this matter with your staff and on my
next visit to Rock Springs t1ould very much like to discuss
this and agree on a program.

Omaha - April 2, 1946

Mr. H. C. Livingston~
Your letter of March 31, reporting lost-time
injuries; date January l to March 31 shows 87,973 man-shifts

for 1946, and ll5~4S5 for 1945, same period.
It is absolutely necessary thet our Safety
and Operating staffs get on the job and stop the trend
of increase in injuries.

I am somewhat fearful that

Safety Engineer Peternell is not follouing up as he should
on men reported .as receiving hernias Md slight injuries.
You should also have it distinctly understood by the

supervisory ataff that injury reports must be made promptly
by.the foremen in charge of the work, and no injury report
will be made from hearsay, as was the case at Winton.

Omaha - February 12, 1946

Mr. H. C. Living ston:
The safety record for January, 1946, shows a
further decline in man-shifts worked per injury, and w•i th
one fatality, it indicatee that we e.re not off to any too

good a start for the year 1946.
Therefo re, I would suggest that you ask Mr .
Murray, Mr. Hughe s and Mr . PeteI•nell to a ttend loc al staff

meetings at all districts in an effort to work up some
enthusiasm in our safety p rogram.

You realize, of course,

that it is easy to lose ground, but requires definite
effort to regain lost ground .

TO _l:EMBERS OF SIGl:A TAU tPSILO~
I am attaching copy of letter from. 1:r. Knill,
Safety Engineer, which is self-explanatory.
I am somewhat disappointed but ho~e that you
will follow the suggestion made to you at your last meeting
and that each of you will write lj,. Knill making some
suggestions 0

Let us try this, at l east until the next

meeting of the Society.
I am expecting that Lr. Knill w.i.ll get a
suggestion from each of you 1rl.thin the next ten days.

lbeD the Sigma Tau Epsilon had ;its la.st meeting, ;rou requef:ted
aambera to write the Safety Engineer a letter once a month giving soue
ooastructive ideas in regard to Safety or good working practices.
I have tailed to receive a letter from any of the 1,Le111bers.

To date

I believe that

70ur BU£gestion followed out l'lould be one v1ay that the s. T. E. could help
our 8afet7 program.
I am enclosing a list of the uembers of the S. T. E. in case you

care to draw their attention to this a!)parent oversight.

Rock Springs - November 19, 1941
" l!r. R. R. Knill:

I would suggest that we have a meeting of the Sigma
Tau Epsilon Society at 9 A. M., Saturday, November 29.
~Je 1·d.ll endeavor to work the mines through five days
straight, allowing them to be idle on Saturday, if possible.
If anything should develop which makes it impossible
to hold a meeting on this Saturday, it could be postponed.
I suggest, however, a meeting be called and all
members and Superintendents notified.

as nearly all accidents are the result of violation

Charter members of Chapter No. I, Sigma Tau Epsilon, Rock Springs, Wyo.

HE Union Pacific Coal Company
Testablished
a new milestone in coalmine accident prevention on the evening of February 27, when there was
organized under the auspices of the
company at Rock Springs, Wyo.,
Chapter No. 1 of the first GreekLetter: Mine Safety Society established
in connection with any branch of the
mining industry in any part of the
world.
The Union Pacific Coal Company
enjoys an enviable mine-accident record, suffering one lost-time accident in
its nine Wyoming mines for each
114,700 man hours of exposure during
the three calendar years 1938, 1939,
and 1940, while the bituminous mines
in the United States as a whole developed an average of only 15,000 man
hours of exposure· to each lost-time
accident in the same period. Prior to
the inception of the company's intensive accident-prevention campaign, the
accident toll in its mines was comparable to that of the country as a
whole.
The new society, known as Sigma
Tau Epsilon, came into existence with
45 charter members, the major number of whom qualified for membership
by carrying the mine workers under
their supervision for three successive
calendar years without a lost-time
accident.
The organizat ion will be maintained
on a definitely democratic basis. Mine
superintendents who receive memberAPRIL, 1941

confined to the mines of the Union
Pacific Coal Company, any other mining company, coal or metal, which

similar lines will be privileged to do so,
making full use of the society's name,
by-laws, etc., which can be amended
to meet varying conditions.

At Rock Spring§
Tribune Intermountain V\'ire
ROCK SPRINGS, Wyo. -The
Greek letter fraternity came to
1he coal mines Thursday when
Chapter One, Sigma Tau Epsilon,
was organized among 45 employes
of the Union Pacific Coal company
-all men who had quall!ied by
carrying men working under them
safely through extended working
periods without a lost-time accident.
The step Is the latest in the company's safety move that hao reduced the lost-time accident rate
in the company's mines to o.lmost
a tenth of the rate of 18 years
ago. Sigma Tau Epsilon becomes
a safety honor society for groups
of mine officials having the most
direct contact with the men under
them. It Is believed to be the only
organization • of Its kind In the
world.
Unit foremen and outside forem an havtng charge of ~roups of
m en who work for a three-) ear
period without lost-time accidents
for the entire group ln his chnrge,
with 1938 being the first year to
be considered, are eligible lo membership with the right of voling
and holdlng office. Mine superintendents In general chari;e of
any certain mine which has won or
which may In the future win the
coveted Sentinels of Safety n, ard
for safety, or any mine for":nan
ln local charge of a mine winning
that award, will be eligible ror
m embership, but without voting
or office-holding privileges.

The unusual honor society was
organized at a safety dinner Thursday evening with I. N. Bayless,
general manager of the coal company, as toastmaster, and President Eugene McAuliffe e.)q&gt;lainlng its purposes. OllH'r speakers
included George B. Pryde, vice
president of operations; L. H.
Brown and A. L. Talinferro, Rock
Springs attorneys for the company; James Sampson, Wyoming
state mine in~pector; E. H. Denny
of the U. S. bureau of mines;
James McKim and George G. Bywater of the United States Geo·logical survey, and n. R. Knill,
company safety engineer.
President McAuliite pointed out
that the membership Is composed
of men who have aclually participated In the saving of life and
limb in the company coal mines
through extension of the ~a!ety
program to a point that the results have commanded attention
not only In the United States but
in Canada and Great Britain as
well. During the first five :,t·:\rs
of the safety drive, 1923-27, l'J67
lost-time accidents occurred l;. the
company mines, during the mi1 •ng
of 14,368,523 tons of coal. ln• the
last five-year period, 1936 !O, 16,468.358 tons of coal were mined
~·ith but 163 lost-time mishaps.

Mine safety fraternity
is organized
Union Pacific Coal Company unit may become
model for nation-wide organization
• W I T H the founding at Rock
Springs, "'yoming, 011 February 27, of a mine safety
(raternity, to be known as
Sigma Tau Epsilon, a new concepLion
of safety as a bond of fellowship comes
into being, and a new visla is perceived
of a national fraternal organization
uniting in one brotherhood the foremen at mines of all kind and degree
who have won conspicuous distinction
in the establishment of safety records
by the units under their supervision.
Fittingly, for its mines l1ave capLUrecl
the Sentinels of Safety trophy on five
separate occasions, The Union Pacific
Coal Company and its president,
Eugene McAuliffe, an indefatigable
worker in the cause of mine safety, become the sponsors of the new society.
The fraternity's charter specifically
bars company executives from membership.
The initial meeting o( the fraternity
held on the evening of February 271
was addressed by Eugene McAuliffe,
president, I. N. Bayless, general manager, George B. Pryde, vice president,
and R.R. Knill, safety engineer, all of
The Union Pacific Coal Company; also
J ames Sampson, Wyoming State Coal
Mines inspector, E. H. Denny of the
U. S. Bureau of Mines, and others.
Forty-three foremen and superintendents of the company's mines qualified for charter membership in the
fraternity. Of this number, by far the
majority are unit or outside foremen,
who have won this honor by reason of
having carried the men under their
supervision for three years or longer
without a single lost-time accident.
T hese men are the backbone o( the
successful practice of safety by the company organization. By the same token
they will form the core of the fraternity's membership and, by the exclusive
privileges of voting and holding office,
will gujde its course and conduct its
affairs.
Mine foremen having local charge of
any mine which has won or in the fu.
ture may win the Sentinels of Safety
trophy, or in which no lost-time accident has been recorded for one calendar year, are als~ eligible_ for membership b~t have neither voting nor office-

holding rights. Mine superimen&lt;lents
in general charge of any mine winning
the Sentinels of Sa(ety trophy wi ll auto•
matically qualify for membership, but
arc likewise barred from voting or
holding office. Foremen who subsequently advance to higher positions
forfeit their voting privileges but retain membership. There will be no
honorary members. Thus the principle
of maintaining the fra ternity on a
thoroughly democratic basis is established and implemented.
R egular mecti11gs of the fraternity
will be held t1uartcrl)'· in addition to
which there will be special meetinffs
called by the president whose duty 1t
is to arrange suitable programs for the
meetings. No dues are LO be collectecl
from any member, and no expenses
may be incurred withou t the approval
of the general ma11agc:111ent or T he
Union Pacific Coal Company.
Commiuees on safe practice recommendations, appointed by the president at the first quarterly meeting ol
each year, will study accident prevention methods and submit repons LO
meetings. Approved reports will be

pa~~cd on to the company's safety engineer for consiJeration o f the management.
The underlying purpose of the fraternity, lo couLribute LO the advan cement of safety, is perhaps best summed
up in the by-law which outlines the
funcLions of the commiuees: "It will
be understood that the real work of the
several commiLLees is to observe bad
practice, making recommendations regarding same, thus an ticipating and
auempting to prevent accidents."
The emblem of the fraternity, to be
donated by The Un ion Pacific Coal
Company, will be a handsome key, engraved with Lhe member's name and
year of election.

or radio connection.
We expect to have our friend Mr. Thomas Berta,
assisted by a young lady, conduct the drawing at

~ New Safety Society For Unit

Five days after his escape from Pretoria, Mr.
Howard informed him that he had developed a plan
to get him o-ut of the country which in substance
was that of hiding him in a goods car, together with
a supply of food consisting of two roast chickens,
some slices of meat, a loaf of bread, a melon, and
three bottles of cold tea, the car loaded with wool
packed in bales and destined to Komati Poort
and Lourenco Marques, Portuguese territory. When
the train arrived a crowd of Kaffirs advanced to
unload it, ,Churchill slipped out al the end of
the truck bet"\veen the couplings and reached the
yard where he stood, his slovenly and unkempt
appearance enabling him to mingle with the
Kal:Tirs. He then made his way to the gates,
reaching the streets of the town and there a
man by the name of Burgener, a ·correspondent of
Mr. Howard' s, was found waiting without. After
an exchange of glances, Burgener turned and walked
off into the town, Churchill following twenty yards
behind. Agai n we will quote Mr. Churchill:
"We walked through several streets and
turned a number of corners. Presently he
stopped and stood for a moment gazing up at the
roof of the opposite house. I looked in the same
direction, and there- blesr vision !- I saw floating the gay colours of the Union Jack. It was
the British Consulate."
Returning to the army, the youth served gallantly through the remainder of the Boer war,
taking part in the relief of Ladysmith, including
the battle of Spion Kop.
Eventually returning to England, Mr. Churchill
was elected to the British parliament which was
the beginning of a stormy political career which
enmeshed him for many years, including the period of the Great War, a peri od cousisting of alternate political successes and failures, his sending of the British fleet into the North Sea twentyfour hours before Germany invaded Belgium one
of the high points of his ·career, the failure of the
Gallipoli campaign looked upon as one of his unfortunate enterprises. Perhaps he was not to blame
for this disaster. With a lifetime of military and
political experience, Winston Churchill came to
be looked upon as the one man most capable of
defending Great Britain and the theory of free
government against the Axis powers, a position now
occupied by him.
Few will &lt;tuestion "Time's" designation-Man of
the Year.

Fore1nen and Outside Foremen
In Particular
Department of this issue of the EmI ployes'Safety
Magazine will be found an outline of
N THE

the organizalion of a Greek letter Safety Honor
Society to be known as SIGMA TAU EPSILON.
which will take place in Rock Springs on February
27, 1941.
The purpose of this organization is to give due
credit to the various Unit Foremen in our several
mines who work continually in connection with the
actual production of coal while the mines are in
operation, the matter of adequately looki11g after
the men i n their charge their first and greatest responsibility.
The new Society "\Vill he conducted by the Unit
Foremen and Outside Foremen who are q,ualified
for admission therein and The Union Pacific Coal
Company who strives to keep dose to the head in
mine safety effort, doubtless will be justified in saying that SIGMA TAU EPSILON will be the first
Greek letter society ever organized in connection
with the work of mine safety.
Regular quarterly meetings will be held four
times annually, with special meetings when same
are deemed necessary, and the government of this
society, including the exclusive right to hold office
and vote, will rest with tl1e Unit Foremen and Outside Foremen. Mine Superintendents and Mine Foremen will only be eligible for membership when
the mines in their charge prove successful contestants for the Sentinels of Safety trophy. All managerial officers will he barred from membership, unless same has been attained before their promotion
to various managerial offices and no honorary memberships shall at any time he established by this
society.
A suitable insignia, to be worn as a watch fob,
is being designed and each such insignia will bear
the name of the member and the date of bis admission to the society. The organization of a Greek
letter so'Ciety and the work it will attempt is very
largely patterned after The Hudson Coal Companr's
organization, "Safety Key Men," the key men of
this very large anthracite company extremely jealous
of their part in the organization with its fine record
of Safety achievement which we hope will be
equalled by the members of SIGMA TAU EPSILON. Not less than 44 qualified members will be
taken in at the organization meeting on Februarv

~th.

"Let him give me food, a pistol, a guide, and
if possible a pony, and I would make my own
way to the sea, marching by night across country far away from the railway line or any
habitation.
"He would not hear of it. He would fix up
something. But he enjoined the utmost caution.
Spies were e,·erywhere. He had two Dutch servant-maids actually sleeping in the house. There
were many Kaffirs employed about the mine
premises and on the pumping-machinery of the
mine. Surveying these dangers he became very
thoughtful.
"Then: 'But you are famishing.'
"I did not contradict him. In a moment he
had bustled off into the kitchen, telling me
meanwhile to help myself from a whisky bottle and the soda-water machine which I have
already mentioned. He returned after an interval with the best part of a cold leg of mutton
and various other delectable commodities, and,
leaving me to do full justice to these. quitted
the room and let himself out of the house by a
back door.
"Nearly an hour passed before Mr. Howard
returned. In this period my physical well-being
had been brought into harmony with the improvement in my prospects. I felt confident of
success and equal to anything.
" 'It's all right,' said Mr. Howard. 'I have
seen the men, and they are all for it. We must
put you down the pit tonight, and there you
will have to stay till we can see how to get you
out of the country. One difficulty,' he said,
'will be the skoff (food). The Dutch girl sees
every mouthful I eat. The cook will want to
know what has happened to her leg of mutton.
I shall have to think it all out during the night.
You must get down the pit at once. We'll make
you comfortable enough.'
"Accordingly, just as the dawn was breaking,
I followed my host across a little yard into the
enclosure in which stood the win.ding-wheel of
the mine. Here a stout man, introduced as Mr.
Dewsnap, of Oldham, locked my hand in a grip
of crushing vigour.
"'They'll all vote for you next time,' he
whispered.
"A door was opened and I entered the cage.
Down we shot into the bowels of the earth.
At the bottom of the mine were the two Scottish
miners with lanterns and a big bundle which
afterwards proved to he a mattress and blankets. We walked for some time through the
pitchy labyrinth, with frequent turns, twists,
and alterations of level, and finally stopped
in a sort of chamber where the air was cool and
fresh. Here my guide set down his bundle, and
Mr. Howard handed me a couple of -candles, a
bottle of whisky, and a box of cigars.
" 'There's no difficulty about these,' he said.

·I keep them unclt&gt;r lock and key. Now we m\.
plan how to feed }ou lo morrow.'
" 'Don •t you m oYe 1· rom l1erc, w hatever happens,' was the parting injunction. ·There will
be Kaffirs a bout the mine after daylight, but
we shall be on the look-out that none of them
wanders this way. None of tJ1e111 ha!&gt; seen anything so far.'
" My four friends trooped off with their lanterns, and I was left alone. Viewed from the
velvety darkness of the pit, li fe seemed bathed
in rosy light. After the perplexity and even despair through which I had passed I counted upon freedom as certain. Instead of a humiliating recapture and long months of monotonous
imprisonment, probably in the common jail, I
saw myself once more rejoining the Army with
a real exploit to my credit, and in that full enjoyment of freedom and keen pursuit of adventure dear to the heart of youth. In this comfortable mood, and speeded by intense fatigue,
I soon slept the sleep of the weary- but of the
triumphant."
Mr. Howard's inquiries developed that the Pretoria government was making tremendous efforts
to re-capture Churchill, special attention aiven to
the Middleburg mining region as a likely place
for his hiding as all of the people of England connected with the coal mining region were more or
less suspe_cted. Expressing his willingness to try
to work his way out, particularly if a Kaffir guide
and pony w~re f~rnished
~r. Howard urged
that he remam qwet, assuring hun that in due time
plans for his escape would be worked out. Mr.
Churchill's stay in the mine and his experience with
mine ra!5, which before the coming of the electric
locomotive were an established institution in nearly all coal mines, is best told in his own language:
"'Here,' he said, 'you are absolutely safe.
Mac' (by which he meant one of the Scottish
miners) 'knows all the disused workings and
places that no one else would dream of. There
is one place here where the water actually
touches the roof for a foot or two. If they
searched the mine, Mac would dive under that
with you into the workings cut off beyond the
water. No one would ever think of looking
there. We have frightened the Kaffirs with
tales of ghosts, and anyhow, we are watching
their movements continually.'
"He stayed with me while I dined, and then
departed, leaving me, among other things,
half-a-dozen candles which, duly warned, I
tucked under my pillow and mattress.
"I slept again for a long time, and woke
suddenly with a feeling of movement about
me. Something seemed to be pulling at my
pillow. I put out my hand quickly. There was
a perfect scurry. The rats were at the candles.
I rescued the candles in time, and lighted one.
Luckily for me, I have no horror of rats as

Re : Fl le 410-05

Here in 0 1J.r on1nion is a good looking key design, but that v1hich
is f ~r more important has to do t•,1 th your rea ction to it . The
desi~n purports to r.epresent a key of one piece construction ,
thut is to say, the ends TI1ll be modelled tn th~ die, rather than
applied and the back r'Jf: the key ,1ill be flat.
Assuming that you wi=i.nt something of exce-ptionally good ouality,
we hc&gt;ve ::'igured upon the use of lOK go:i.d, at an estimated 3 dwt.
eech, The price fi gures .. $3 ,44 per key so made, but 8t t~e outset there \'Jould bP. a die and cutter charge qmounting to .. $2?.50 .
Because this item ~euresents the co s t of the direct labor and material without any 0verhead or profit, it is made with the understanding that the die re~ains at all times in our possession, but
available for your exclusive use . That has an advant age, because
should at any time the die become worn, or even broken, we agree
tn reDair or replace it at our own ex~ense.
Of course, \·Je h..~ve o":; r..er.quali ties, but 'Ne think it advisable to
s~bmit this first for your cons1dP.rat1on before doin~ any more

You will note

the me mbership is restricted to Foremen, the Mine Foreman the

high e st official eligible.
I wish you would undert a ke to do some preliminary work

o n thoae who are eligible on our properties.

After establish-

ing the positions which a re e lig ible, see how far back the list
c a n be carried in order to sta rt out with a fair working membership.

You might find it desirable to require, for exampl e , a

Unit Foreman to c a rry a clea r section for t wo, three, or more

yea rs, depending on wha t your records develop .

In the c a se of

the Mine Foreman, ~ho is responsible for all men employed in-

aide and outside, I think one year should be sufficient.

It

might be advisable to requi re the Outside Foreman to shori two
or more years freedom from accident.

I have a line on the cost and manufacture of the Safety
Keys :, and when m~ have an opportunity, I would like to help worlc

out the deta ils of the organization, which I think will prove
of great value.

\By Means of Safety Key Meni's Ou-gai1111o~arlrn@!ri1
NEW approach L? the pro~lem of
accide nt prevenlwn was maugurated by the Hudson Coal Co. in Novemlwr. 1938. This effort is based on
the ro·rmation of a group o[ officials
known as the "Safety Key Men's Organization,'' briefly described by Daniel Harrington in the March, 1939,
iss ue oi the Min.in.;; Safety Newsletter.
This article will outline Lhe organization, operation and objectives of the
new plan.
The continuing Lrend from soUd
ruinul"' Lo pillar and caved-ground
work i1as tended to increase mjury
hazards in recent year s, highlighting
the need for a helter method of combating them. We have hopes that
elTective help will be provided by our
Safety Key Men's Organization, as it
is universally recognized that the most
important s ingle factor in safety succcs,; is selling the idea to the foremen
in immediate charge of the workmen.
The Hud~on Coal Co.'s safety efforts
ulways ha,·c been directed to that end,
hul we feel that the pas t never has
JJro&lt;luced a device Lo do it as simply,
clTcctively and directly as our Safety
Key Men's Organization.
The com_pany in the past has made
various awards to foremen for noteworthy injury-prevention records.
These arc to be continued in conjunction with the award of membership in the Safely Key Men's Organizutio11. Past awards have consisted of
engraved certificates to sectional foremen who go 3, 6, 9 and 12 months
without a lost-time mjury; pocket
knives and lapel buttons to sectional
foremen finishing a calendar year
wit.bout a lost-time injury; presentation of the company safety flag to tlie
mine with the best quarterly record;
und an all-expense trip to the National Safoty Council convention each

year to the colliery supe.\'intendent,
mine foreman and sectional foremen
with the best injury records.
Attempts have been made in the
past to organize foremen's safety organizations- mem·bership generally
being open to all who were interested.
It is in this respect that our Safety
Key Men's Organization shows a
fundamental difference. Membership
in the new organization is restricted
to foremen with outstanding safety
records and consequently is more
worili striving for. In recognizing
performance by officials it is a truism
of good management that "results
cowit--excuses won't pay bills." Our
method of selecting members for the
Key Men's Organization is merely the
application of this recognized principle to injury-prevention.
Requirements for membership in
tl1e Safety Key Men's Organization
are that sectional foremen and other

inely interested in safety work hut
also were we11 versed in gelling tangible results they found the interchange
of ideas among themselves both stimulating and interesting. The result
was an organization of such exce1Ient
humall material that it sold itself to
both members and non-members from
the start. The group was formally
organized in November, 1938, at a
·banquet at the Scranton Club in ]1onor
of the men qualifying for membership.
The principal speaker was Mr. Harrington, chief of the health and safety
branch of the U. S. Bureau of Mines.
A dual function was visualized for
the Safety Key Men's Organization
from the start. First, i t was t() be a
rneans of conferrfog merited honor
11nd recognition upon foremen for outstanding achievements in injury prevention. Second, the organization was
designed to take an active and continuous part in the company's safety program. Inasmuch as membership was
to signify substantial progress in preventing injuries, h was Ielt that the
insignia should be cnmmensurate
with the achit:vemt&gt;nt it represented.
Therefore, it was decided to present
each member with an attractive gold

[c OR 16 years the annual Coal Conventions and
[f Expositions of the American Mining Congress
have "sparked" progress in the art of mining coal,
with the result that modernization of equipment and
methods is forging resolutely ahead and coal is maintaining its position as the nation's leading energy
source. The momentum of this progress is allimportant and can ,b est be maintained through the
industry's concerted support of these annual meetings.
The 17th Annual Coal Convention and Exposition will he held at Cincinnati the week of April 29,
and again will bring together thousands of mining
men and manufacturers for their yearly review of
the modern way in coal mining. Past experience
has proved the tremendous influence which these
gatherings exert toward improved operating conditions and practices and their effect on the general
welfare of the coal industry.
Each year, a nationwide committee of practical
operating men selects a convention px,ogram covering
coal's most pressing problems. The convention discussions b ring out the best thought of the industry
on methods and equipment for eacli particular phase
of operation by showing how our most progressive
mines are turning coal out safely and efficiently.
Coupled with the formal program discussions is the
informal ·exchange, or "swapping," of ideas.
Every year, also, the nation's leading manufacturers of mining machinery, equipment and supplies
exhibit their products and services, with special
emphasis on new developments and new adaptations
of proved products. The far-reaching value of such
an array of exhibits can hardly be overestimated.
Through this medium, coal men are privileged each
year to learn at first hand just what is available for
every operation in producing coal fuel.

Convention week each year renders still another
valuable service in bringing together the coal-mining
men of the nation. Their acquaintance and intimate
association make for the close-knit industry person•
nel which is all essential in the cooperative efforts
required in meeting harassing economic and operating difficulties.
The 1940 Coal Convention and Exposition promises
to take its rightful place in the ascending order of
these vital industry events. With the uncertainties
facing the industry and the ever pressing question
of successfully meeting the competition of other
fuels, every operating man in the country should
attend this meeting to devote serious study to means
for the betterment of the industry. I sin~erely hope
that every coal executive will attend, together with
as many of his operating officials and key men as
possible. Come out and give us the benefit of your
help in setting the coal industry further along the
road of modernization.

them to take an active pa rt in the
company's safety program they were
divided into committees of three to
five men. Naturally, each man was
assigned to the committee where his
record and experience indicated that
he could do the most good. These
committees are as follows:

1. Roof Falls (Inside).
2. Transportation (Inside).
3. Handling Material (Inside) .
4. Tools and Machinery (Inside).
5. Gas and Miscellaneous (Inside).
6. Explosives and Electricity (Inside).

10. Publicity.
The Publicity Committee edits The
Sa/ety Commentator, the company's
monthly publication devoted to safety
matters, and also awards a $5 prize
each month for the best safety sugges•
tion submitted by any employee in
the previous month. The other _committees have the following functions:
1. Study 0£ all accidents in its particular class whfoh occurred on company property during th': past year
and preparation of bulletms on prevention based on that study.
2. Investigation, as a committee,_ of
fatal accidents in its class occurring

When all the reports have been

status of company safety rules.
After the sectional foreman has

safety questions, stimulates them to
continue their accident-prevention efforts and thus helps forestall the letdown that naturally fo1lows a longsustained campaign.
T·he bulletins, it is true, do not introduce new ideas on safety very often
because our experience has been analyzed so thoroughly in the past that
we a lready a re well acquainted with
the various types of injuries and ways
of preventing them. H owever, they
do furnish a novel, timely a nd authorita tive means o f repeating safety
rules already in effect, as well as an
excellent method of introducing new
r ules and modHying old ones.
Forty-five bulletins were issued by
the commiltees in 1939. These have
been reprinted in a convenient pocketsized booklet for distribution to our
foremen. Upon reading these bulletins, one is impressed with the fact
that they have achieved a muchneeded integration of the various
safety rules applicable to the p·articular hazards with which they deal.
General bulletin form and content are
shown in the examples reproduced
elsewhere in this article.

Fatalities Investigated
When a fatal accident occurs the
appropriate committee is summoned
to investigate. It visits the scene as
soon afterward as possible, looks into
attendant circumstances, questions
witnesses and immediately prepares
a report for transmission to the assistant general manager. This investigation and report are separate and
independent of the customary investigation by the company's safety
department.
In initiating this practice of accident in.vestigation ·by the Key Men's
committees, the management visualized several salutary effects. First, it
stimulates supervisory officials to
greater efforts in the discovery and
eliminatioµ of hazards which might
cause fatalities. Second, we get the
opinion of several disinterested yet
competent observers on the cause and
prevention of_ our fatal accidents.
Third, it broadens the viewpoint of
the Key Men, who have shown by
their records that they are the men
most likely to grasp the lessons of
experience. Further, through the Key
Men, the knowledge gained from close
contact with the circumstances attending fatal accidents is more widely
disseminated. In every case where a
committee has investigated an accident, it is worth noting that it hos
gone about it zealously and exhaustively, yet with utmo!it fairness nnd

tia/ity. The 'l'esult h as been
enhanced respect for the
S4fety Key Men's Organization.
As i t still is only 18 months since
the inception of the organization it
is obvious that we cannot say 'yet
what pe.rmanent effect it will have on
our accident record. However, as we
have watched the development of the
plan we have beco?1e convinced of its
soun?ness and merit. It will, of course,
r~CJU:Ire two or three years to obtain
s1gmficant statistical results. But
though the effectiveness of the program cannot yet be shown by figures
the attitude of employees and non:
member officials furnishes one means
of gaging "its anticipated value. The

The second annual banquet of the
Safety Key Men was held Oct. 28
1939, at which time twelve additional
foremen .qualifying during the year
were admiued, bringing the membership to 55. How these Safely Key Men

We can do no better, in conclusion
than to reiterate the two hasi~
t~ougltts behind the plan: (1) to
smgle out for deserved honor and
recognition those supervisory officials
who have achieved outstanding safety
records and (2) to utilize the talents
and prestige of such officials in the
most advantageous manner in the
furtherance of safety work.

I NING what is termed the Eagle
seam in Logan County, West
Virgi.rua, the Monitor Coal &amp; Coke
Co., Wilkinson, W. Va., now uses
low-vein mobile loading machines to
recover an average of 40 in. of coal
under 9 to 15 in. of rash and 4 to 15
in. of drawslate. An average of 14
in. of these impurities must be handled
by gobbing or loading out, and under
these conditions performance per man
employed undergro·und was 13.2 tons
of coal per shHt in August, 1939.
Impurities handled brought the total
output per man employed underground
(coal and impurities) up to 19.3 tons
per shift.
The third company in Logan
County to ship coal, Monitor started
operations in 1905 and has been
under the same management ever
since. Until 1930, when the Eagle
seam was opened, mining was done
in the Island Creek seam. The organizat..ion has experimented mth
mechanical loading since 1921 and

COAL AGE

With an average of 14 in. of rash
and drawslate to he handled, the
Monitor Coal &amp; Coke Co. is mining the 40-in. Eagle seam in
Logan County, West Virginia,
with mobile loading machines
accompanied by slabbing units
for cutting in the rash over the
coal. Performance in August,
1939, was 13.2 tons per man employed underground.

By ARTHUR DOWNING
Vice-President, Monitor Coal &amp; Coke Co.
Wilkinson, W. Va.

was the first in West Virginia to load
coal with a Joy machine. In 1922,
a Goodman power shovel was put to
work, and in 1926, over a period of
six months, two power shovels load-

,

Q

ing into 3-ton cars averaged 275 tons
per shovel per shift. In all, these
shovels handled over 300,000 tons of
Island Creek-seam coal. Scraper
loaders also were tried by the company in 1923.
The Eagle-seam mine, with which
this article deals, was opened in 1930
with the idea of mechanizing it from
the start. Accordingly, an experimental Joy 8BU loading machine was
purchased and used for about six
months. But with the economic con•
ditions prevailing in 1931, mechanical
loading was abandoned for a time in
favor of hand loading, which also was
considered the safest in view of the
physical conditions encountered in
extracting the Eagle coal.
Changing economic conditions,
however, compelled a revision of
viewpoint in 1938, with the result that
the management again decided to
experiment with mechanical loading
to see if a system for future mining
could be developed which also would

63

J

�&amp;ssurc the requ1s1te safety for cm·
·1,.-•ployees.
In this adaptation of
mechanical loading to the difficult
conditions encountered underground,
C. A. Cook, general superintendent,
took a vital part.
The first step was to thoroughly
overhaul the 8BU machjne purchased
in 1930 and put it to work driving a
six-heading entry two shHts a day.
In the first fourteen days of work, in
April, 1938, the machine averaged
165 tons per shiit. In May, we decided lo put tl1e loading machine on
a two-,:hifts-per-day five-days-per-

week schedule. The average output
over the month was 189 tons per shift
or 378 tons per day of two shifts. In
view of this performance, the man·
agement decided that there were great
possibilities in mechanical loading
and consequently ordered two more
8BU machines for delivery in July
and October, the idea being to place
the old machine on the spare list and
use the new ones in active coal production. The new machines actually
arrived in August and November,
and, as they had to be coupled with
Goodman slabbing machin.es, a new

cen_ter line of track to face 35 ft. from the camera position. Top portion of the
40-,n. seam appears at the extreme left. In this heading an effort was made to
hold the 40:in. immediate slate top but it came down anyway. Even so, headers
w,11 be required to support the remaining intermediate slate.

H ere, in No. 4 Main, 20 in. of rock is taken down. C. A. Cook, general superintendent, inspects the top cut, which in this case was made in the coal because
here the frail top is principelly sandstone.

slabber also was ordered, arriving
late in November, 1938.
Because of broken working time
in December, 1938, and J anuary,
1939, mechanical-loading rcsulls were
not good. In February and March,
1939, however, the machines worked
five days a week and two shifts a
day, or a total of four working shifts
each day. In March, the daily aver•
age was 798 tons, or 198 tons per
machine-shift. At first glance, this
doesn't appear to be anything to brag
about, as lots of J oy loaders are get•
ting 300 tons or more per shift. How•
ever, conditions in the mine should
be ta.ken into consideration before
passing judgment. All the coal came
from two sets of six-heading entries
with crosscuts driven 80 ft. apart.
Ten of the headings were 20 ft. wide
and the other two were 18 ft. wide.
Average coal height is 40 in. and
the average thickness of impurities
which must be handled is 14 in. The
cutting is done in the hard rash over
the coal, using a Goodman 824-BA
low-vei~ slabber. Rash thickness, as
noted above, is 9 to 15 in. Cuttings
and other material out of the top
must be gobbed or loaded out. Every
shift, more or less, there always are
one or more places with 20 to 24 in.
of rash and drawslate. Each place
is timbered with four posts and half.
headers. Safety posts also are set
in each place.
In J une and July, 1939, an average
of 24 in. of impurities was encoun•
tered in each working place, and in
some places the rash and drawslate
aggregated 36 in. All this material
was gobbed or loaded out. In August,
there was an im11rovement in these
conditions, with the result that the

Sentinels of Safety trophy a,~arded by the
Hercules Powder Company.
"This is the second time that this beautiful
bronze representation of a mother and her little
child has been awarded to Hudson Coal Company men, the first award made to the men of
th~ company's Stillwater Mine at Vandling, in
1933. I hope that some of the men who worked
in that mine in 1933 are here today.
" The artist who conceived and e:xecuted this

sacred relationship that exists within the Imman race, that of the mother to her child. It
is a pity that more of us wlJo are fathers do not
accept our responsibilities toward our children

are prone to leave lo the mothers too many of
the dudes that we jointly owe our children, and
they suffer accordingly.

''How to bring about the greatest measure of
safety in and about our mines is the compelling
problem confronting the industry today. This
will not come through the mandates of either a
Federal or State Inspection law. The facts are,
that all that is worth while in our American
form of life, came not from sumptuary laws
but from an honest, conscientious spirit of cooperation between employer and ~vorkers, the
last mentioned the class who furrush the flesh
and blood, and who with their fami_lies endu~e
the suffering that follo_ws every ac?1~ent. It 1s
out of sincere cooperation and a sp1nt of workinu together that betterment will come, and you
m~st have much of that on The Hudson Coal
Company properties or you would not be
gathered here today.
"May I say a word as to the responsibility of
leadership? From the very dawn of civilization
some man, some class, has been compelled to
take leadership. In the Old World political
leadership was at one time a matter of in-

of that kmd of thing going on in the Old World
fo: _the past few years. Freedom of soul and

\\ orld. After more than nineteen centuries of
the teachings of Christ much . of Europe and

voice in the making of the laws that aovern his
affairs, and in establishing the conditions under
which he works, including hours and rates of
pay. There is yet opportunity in America for
a workman to select his employer. lVIay I say
further, that there is a very definite obliaa.
tion on the part of the workers to select for
their leaders men who have vision and capacity
for leadership, and who will continuously try
to do the best for their constituents rather than
to try to win higher office by creating strife.
There are men in every walk of life who have
depended on securing a&lt;lvan'Cement, by creating for themselves a 'nuisance value.'

:Poems For November
two exquisite verses by
F Sara Teasdale,we present
the American poetess whose
OR NOVEMBER

work is known to all lovers of poetry. Our first
:::election:
'·THE LONG HILL"
'·I must have passed the -crest a while ago
And now I am going down-Strange to have crossed the crest and not to know,
But the brambles were always catching the hem
of my gown.
··All the morning I thought how proud I should be
Tu :&gt;land there straight as a queen,
Wrapped in the wind and the sun with the world
undermeBut the air was dull, there was little I could have
seen.
..It was nearly level along the heaten track
And the brambles caught in my gownBut it's no use now to think of turning back.
The rest of the way will be only going down."
The second of :\1iss Teasdale"s verses chosen is :

"Infinite tenderness, infinite irony
Are hidden forever in her closed eyes,
Who must have learned too well in her long loneliness
How emptr wisdom is, ewn to the wise."
In a lighter , ein " c ha Ye chosen a poem by
Charles Ed ,•,ard Carr) I. born in New York City,.
December 30, 18 12. an officer and direct.or in various railroads, ,, ho wrote many lively and diverting ballads. ~fr. Larr} l died i n Boston in 1920.
Our selection rclatt&gt;s to that olcl friend of millions
of boys and girl- :
" ROBINSON CRUSOE'S STORY"
" The night was thick and hazy
When the ' Piccadilly Daisy'
Carried down the crew and captain in the sea ;
And I think the water drowned 'em ;
For they never, never found 'em
And I know they didn' t come ashore with me.

'·EFFIGY OF A NUN"
••( Sixteenth Cenb1 ry )"
"Infinite gentleness, infinite irony
Are in this face with fast-sestled eyes,
And round this mouth that lea:rned in loneliness
How useless their wisdom is to the wise.

..Oh! ' twas very sad and lonely
When I found myself the only
Population on this cultivated shore;
But I've made a little tavern
In a rocky little cavern,
And I sit and watch for people at the door.

'·In her nun's habit carved, pati,~ntly, lovingly,

" I spent no time in looking
For a girl to do my cooking,
As I'm quite a clever hand at making stews:
But I had that fellow Friday,
Just to keep the tavern tidy,
And to put a Sunday polish on my shoes.

By one who knew the ways of womankind,
This woman's face still keepi;, in its cold wistful
calm,
All of the subtle pride of her mind.
'·These long patrician hands, clusping the crucifix,
Show she had weighed the world, her will was
set;
These pale curved lips of he s, holding their hidden smile
Once having made their choice, knew no regret.
..She was of those who hoard their own thoughts
carefully,
Feeling them far too dear to give away,
Content to look at life with the high, insolent
Air of an audience watchin~ a play.

"If she was curious, if she was Rassionate

.

She must have told herself th.at love was great,
But that the lacking it might be as great a thing
If i;.he held fast to it, challen ~g fate.
"She who so loved herself anl:I her own warring
thoughts,

64

Watching their humoro\is, tragic rebound,
In her thick habit's fold, sleeping, sleeping,
Is she amused al dreams she has found ?

"I have a little garden
That I'm cultivating lard in,
As the things I eat are rather tough and dry;
For I live on toasted lizards,
Prickly pears, and parrot gizzards,
And I'm really very fond of beetle-pie.
''The clothes I had were furry,
And it made me fret and worry
When I found the moths were eating off the hair;
And I had to scrape and sand 'em,
And I boiled 'em and I tanned 'em,
Till I got the fine morocco suit I wear.
"I sometimes seek diversion
In a family excursion
With the few domestic animals you see;
And we take along a carrot
As refreshment for the parrot,
And a little can of jungleberry tea.

THINK FIRST

..

During the first nine months of 1940 there
were 137 FATAL injuries in the ~mthracite Mining
Indus try\} and 74 0 or a little over half of that
number 0 were the result of roof fallso
Di rect
falls were res1)ons ible for 51 and indirect falls
for 23 fa talities o
Of ti1ese 74 fata l injuries
13 occurred in the Hudson Coal Company' s mines.
\·/hat will the next three months show? This
we do not know - but we do know that most roof
fall injuries can be preventedo
A few minutes
time and thought and the necessary precaution is
•
all that is required.
During the year 1938 over 05 9 000 man-days
were lost due to injuries sustained by employees
of our compa.nyo
This resulted in a loss of ap~roximately $,425 9 000 in waITes.
If for no other
reason, we should all realize that an injury
avoided or prevented means more earning-so While
the monetary loss is something to think about it
cannot be com~ared with the untold suffering and
misery resulting from these injuries.
Transportation injuries are all too nwnerous o Men engaged in this work are constantly
reminded about working safelyo I ns tructions and
safety rules to cover all classes of transportation are in effect but too often they are forgotten.
Forgatten until a missing member or
other injuries serves as a remindero It is too
late theno .
\'ie should all realize that safety bulletins
are for our p~otection and benefit o It is only
by constant tnought and vigilance that injuries
can be preventedo -By Jack Hodgson, Miles Slope .

It will be seen from the above that there
has been a considerable decrease in the number
of bone injuries in the month of October 1940 as
compared with the sac.e month in 19390 This is a
very substantial improvement and it is hoped
that this good record may continueo

An inJ.u ry of this kind appears to be so usele-ss and
indicates a definite lack of instructions to haulage men.
I understand that there 't1as very little coal being mined
in the No. 9 Seam and the haulageway was not in any t:1ay
crowded, and the peeuliar circumstances under which Mr.
Russell was injured may cause an investigation by the Federal inspectors and elicit some criticism.

I would suggest that another campaign be put on to
inform all supervisors andhlave them in turn to instfouct all
haulage men as to the proper handling of mine cars underground.
All haulage men should be instructed in the dangers of coupling
cars while moving , or attempting to couple cars on the short
side of a curve; and they should be instructed not to get on
the low or close s ide of the tracks under any oircumstances
while cars are in motion.
Our foremen should be instructed to keep familiar with
our book of standards and book of rules .

Mr. H. C. Livingston:
I received your letter of May 24,
together with a copy of iL E. Greek's report of
injury to Lyman E. 1-'lelch, bony pi cker, at Reliance .

This represents a condition that should be thoroughly
investigated.

I ~ the conveyor sta.rted up without
any controls being handled, then the wiring would
have to be defective.

If the conveyor waE started

by the uee of the controls while ~~r . ~·lelch was in

the position he was on the conveyor , handling the
screening plate, lt represents a l ack of proper
caution and, to say the least, a very dangerous

practice.
Sugge st that you have a thorough investigation mad.e. and ',ring this to my attention fo.!' further
discussion .

Since Federal deposit insurance became effective on January 1, 1934, a great many questions
have been asked concerning what the FEDERAL

does. 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-

eminently satisfactory. For example, insured de-

8. Q. Is the FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CoRP0RATI0N a permanent organization?

g. Q. What is the source ef the monrys ef the Insurance

Corporation?
A. They come from three sources: A subscription

insured banks.
10. Q. How large is the Fund and how are its monrys

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

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

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.

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

�&lt;?

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.

State to Bring Action Against
Workmen's Compensasation Delinquent
Suit against the .)3lazon Coal ;
.90,., a p:tah corporation, opei ating •
mines at Kemmerer and Rock ,
Springs, charging to failure to .
comply with the state's compensation law, was ordered today by
, State Treasurer J. Kirk Baldwin.
Attorney General Ray E . Lee
this afternoon was drawing up 1
th~; papers in the case, Baldwin
sa1a.
The state will charge that the
Blazon company h as t aken out of
the state treasury $25 ,000 more
than it has paid in to sa:tisfy compensation claims. The firm now
is delinquent more than $4,000,
Baldwin said, and efforts by the
, state to collect have been unavailing.
•
Last week there was a fatality ,
in the mines of the company in
western Wyoming. Settlement of
.this suit alone may involve cost I:
to the state's compensation fund s
of about $4,000, Baldwin said.
Action against the Blazon com- I:
pa,ny is in line with the policy of r
.the state's compensation depart- t
ment to compel 11,ll firms in Wyo- t
1 ming to "get square" with this l
bureau and to keep up with their t
payments in the _fut~e. __ ~
~

�Blazon Company May Be
Heavily Penalized if
State Wins Suit
Steps for filing suit against a
large coal company charged with
evasion of compensation fund
payments to the state were taken
today when the attorney general's
office was asked to take action
against the Blazon Coal Company
1of Kemmerer,
I The move came following warnings sent out to delinquent industries and other concerns coming
under compensation department
regulations of the state treasurer's
office.
Charge that the Blazon Company, a Utah concern, owes the
state $4,000 in payments to the
compensation fund, t-hat it has
not contributed anything since
early . last year and disregarded
an agreement made in 1933 to
make monthly payments that;
would have satisfied the state's
demands, are being filed by the
treasurer's office.
.
If the state wins the action it is
expected that it will cost the company at least $9,000. In addition
to having to pay the $4,000 it is
now said to be in arrears, the
firm would be assessed a penalty,
which will double the amount. In
addition disregard of the state law
calls for a fine of $500. Added to
these sums would be costs of the
suit and the company's own at•
torney fees.
State TreClSUrer J. Kirk Bald•
:win authorized direct action
against the company following a
conference here two days ago with
Clair M. Senior of Salt Lake City,
attorney for the Blazon Co. He
said the company gave no assurance that it would pay up.
During the time it has fallen
behind in its monthly payments
to the state compensation fund,
the Blazon co. has d1·awn out
$20,000 more than it has paid in
to meet accident demands, records in the treasurer's office show.
Papers in the suit were being
drawn up today bY tho attorney
general's office.
The Blazon co. has a monthly
payroll of $11,000, the state treas•
urer's office said their figures
showed today. Duplicates of the
pay roll are sent in regularly to
qualify employes of the concern
for compensation in the event of
disability.

Aggressive action against busi1ness firms and industries of the
state that have not been meeting,
their ·compensation payments has
: resulted i'n more than 100 com, panies "coming into the fold" this
' month.
Receipts by the compensation·
' department last month increased1
' $13,000 above the immediately preceding 30-day- perrod. Recent di• rect action against a large com- '
pany that was $4,000 in arrears
and a vigorous drive throughout
the state has brought still bigger
increases · this month.
Business firms of the state are
requh'ed to pay a percentage of
their payrolls into the state's compensation bureau in order to provide a fund from which workmen ,
are given compensation in the I
event of accident.

interest ed in knowing j us t wha t employee of the

Coal Company have bee n classified as engaged in extr aw_hazp..r dou~

Treasury fo r t he be nef i t of the I ndus t r i a l Accident Fund, l - l/2%
of t he moneys earned by such empl oye so

In other words, as I

understand the l aw, the Co~l Company i s not r equired to pay 1-1/2%
of the wages of all of its employee but only those engaged in
extra hazar dous e~pl oyment and I desire t .o be assured that we
Office a nd Store Department
are paying only wha t ie r equired.
employee are as I take it , not engaged i n extra haza rdous employment and it may b e that certain of the gr ound men in the service
should not be s o classified.

No doubt the s t ate has been called

upon to interpre t the 1aw and possibly has issued a list of
employee to be regarded a s engaged in extr a hazardous employment
and if s o, I would be gl ad to have you send me a. copy of t he
ruling.

�If you have not already arranged. to do so, perhaps
it would be we~l to have your Auditor check the amounts and
returns made by the Union Pacific Coal Company to assure us
that we are making payments only as axe required by t~e lawo

An injured compa ny official is
not entitled to benefits under the
state workmen's com11e11Sation act,
says a decision h anded down by !
Judge V. J . Tidball of the Second I
: district, a copy o·e which was re-J
[ ! ccived at the office or t::1e work: 1.aen's compensation depart:uent to- '
r 'day.

Guy S. Weston claim&lt;id roimbursee ment for injuries r eceiYed while 1n
s the employ of the Consolidated Cop•. per comp.my at Euc,unpment. The
r I company illed its report and sl~niu ! fied its w1llingness to a llow the
_ claim. Fol1o,\-ini; t lte usual prnoed- '
ure, the court issued an Ordt?r for 1 d
o $116, -and seut tli&lt;' order to State n
2 TrPrasurer A. D. Hoskins for pa.y- tt
s ment.
C
Mr. Hoskilw, howl',·er, had access n:
0

i money should not be JMid. He no- It
J tlfled J udgo Ti'db~l t.o this effect u
a and asked for n r econsideration of p,
7 : lhe ~ase. A second· hceu.rlug resulted p

, 1 on tho grounds that l\fr. \Yeaton is

Dear Sir :
Refer ring to questionna ire sent out by
Ao D. Hoski ns , Stat e Treasurer, hav i ng referen ce
to cont empla ted c hanges in the compensation l aw,
I am enclos ing herewith , copy of my reply.
Think this m~t ter should. receive our vigorous consider a tion, and protest agains t the State
Treasurer, or any other State Officer taking upon
himsaJ. f by way of r ecommendation or otherwise, the
e st a blishment of s ome form of commis s ion or other
expensive method which will increase the cost of
compensation, a nd reduce the net result to the
employee.
I have therefore sent out notices calling a
meet i ng at Rock Springs, January 2nd, and feel that
the operator s should get to geth er a nd fight vig orously, the questions contained in this questionnaire.
Yours truly,

LP:LM

My dear Mr .

Brooks:·

I was very gl ad to hear from you regarding your
opinion of t he Wyoming Workmen's Compensation Law.
On Sunday I had a conference which was attended
by a number of representa tives of labor 9 the St ate Mine
Inspector 9 and Mr. William Sammon, who has charge of the
admini stration of this law. The more we discussed the
mat t e·r the more doubtful I became as to the amendments and
changes that appeared to be necessary. I am not an expert
on wor1onen' s compensation. It is a very complicated matt er a...~d after listening to those who seemed to know so much
mor e about it than I it was difficult for me to arrive at
any p os i t i ve conclusion. I will say, however , that the law
did not appear to be so bad as some have made out, but there
were three changes which appeared to be necessary: first,
the law should be amended to include practically all workmen
within the State; second, ~he amount paid for temporary
to t al disability seems to be inadequate; and third, there
appears to be no reason why the State should contribute to
the fund. Outside of these changes we appear to be getti:ng
along pretty well .
Very truly yours,
,

My dear Mro Brooks:Your. letter of December 23r,d reached me i n due

s e a son, e-..nd have endeavox·ed to comply w1 t h your reque st,
but for 1~e a.sone herei na,fter enumerated have be en unable t o
do so promp t ly o

In the fir 13t plaoe the r eport for the year ending
October 31, l.920 shoul d have been out of the pr inter s ' hands

long before thi s , but f or some r eason is not yet off t he press.
I have been waiting to get thi s year •a exper i enoe, as I have
no doubt this is t he one you would desi re t he most. Even the
reports of l ast year are hard t o get, and am having the
•
Olympia office send you some di rect , hoping you may f ind
information i n t hem that will be beneficial i n your work there.
Several co~i es of the Mining code, together wi t h amendments
of the l egisl ature of 1919 are being sent under separate cover ,
as per your r equ eato
As to the personal feature in dealing with administ :rati ve problems, I am inclined t o t he:.be:l:ief that most states
a.re top-heavy with oommi esions., resulting in a great deal of
wa.ete of the t axpayers ' money, merely paying poli tibal debts
in a large number of cas e s to men who may be good politioians
but l ack admini strati ve and eseoutive ability, not to speak of
intens e i nterest i n the work assigned the• •
Ae to my opinion regardi ng t he personnel suggested

by you r law, were men to f all into the hands of a just judge,

,-...

they would indeed be fortunat e, but an act of this kind should be
as f ar remo ved f r om legal and fi nanc i al interests as it is possible
fo r t hem to get, and plaoed in th e hands of upright, unbiased
admini strato!'a whose sole objeot would be to administer the law
e~ui t ably and considerately to all parties concerned.
Different
stat es have had different exper iences, and I am loath to criticise
without having eonorete fact s foT guidance, but I do think our
own l aw could be handled at muoh l ess expense than it is now.
You appreciate that the admini st ration expens e s are paid for by
general taxation, an appropr i a t i on made by the legislature for
thi s pu t"i::io ae . .And yet I am i nf ormed by Mr . Andersen that under
the Montene sy stem, wh ich i s eleotiYe as to whether they come

unde1" the state or private administration, their co.eta are lees
with higher compensation awards than are paid in our own state
Ho .tv t h is can be I have no means of determining, but such is the
statement made by Mra Andersena

I should suggest that a.side from your District Judg·e ,

some man not directly connected with the oourtp such as the

clerk, but 1·ather a public spirited citizen, either a. laboring

man or aor:)e level headed busine s s man., be en..G:rusted with the
admi nistration of your l aw. It looks too one- sided to have the
whole-hearted support of all elementa of sooietyo
This is
merely my own humble ori-'Gioism for yourself personally, and

not as expert advice for public uaeo

Misa ryashburnD the Association and myself appreciate
your greetings ., and eJtt end tbe same to yourself and Mxsa Brooks.
Hoping that you will live to see me.ny happy returns

of t~e season, and ~1th kindest personal regards, I am

I notioe o n ~ nine of this re~, tlJa

natural~ means that we contribuiad moro money to the fmld. I tb1nk

pensation ftmd.
!inlare is a question 1n ~ mind as to wmther
this should be done inasmuo~s tbe taxpayers and .tba state desire the workman's com,pensati~ fUnd, and in order to get it
started9 appropriated a certain amount of mcmey each year. NOW
that the workman's compensation fund bas becoma self-supporting, 1
do not believe it is right for tmm to ask tbat this money be given
back to them.
However, I do think that the amo1mt contributed
could be decreased over a period of tbree or four ye~s so that at
tha end of this time 9 tha State wou.ld be relieved of tb&amp; contribution.
I believe that State officials and particular~ the
employees are endeavoring to receive benefits from t:ba large tn:nd that
has accumulated and have entirely ignclred the employer who has created
this fund, in thai~ desire to distribute a portion of it. If tha f'aDd
has beooma top llaavy and it is the belief that it is now self-supporting 9 I think that t he rate paid by tha employer should be red'QOed possibly to one and a quarte.r percent or ona parcento
The COD:!P8nsation

I think wa should not lose sight of thl faot tllat
their are thrae parties interested in this i'mld9 the e:q&gt;loyer, th&amp;
employee and t ha state. It is interesting to note the awards made
for injuries during the existence of the workmen• s com;pensation.

You will note that the awards for 1njuries ha.'98
gradually inoreasad each year. ~ s no doubt, being dm to the fao"t
that tha workmen's coJii)8llsation law is gradualq extend.mg tlB scope
of its wor-It and :naturally more injuries a1'8 comiDg 1:111der ita jur1ad1ction9 so that 1 feel that during 1921 the departnant will be faced
t1ith an increased amount of awards with decl'9aeed receipts.
I believe that tha idea of having a coDIDission to
handle this compensation is a dead issue as it seems that all &amp;Jll)lOJ9ra
and eDW,loyees are opposed to it, and while it has been advocated in
tha Treasure-r's report 9 I do not believe it will becOJD9 an issue.
1 tallmd wit h M;ll'tin Cahill and Janes Jlorgan quite
a number of tines. I believe that they are very reasonable 1n their
dellB.llda from the standpoint of t he employee. Morgan aeema to teal
that \"iYOming •hould be a t tm head of t~ 11st of all ot:ber states
in its co?qpensation to employees, but I believe this la goblg a li~tle
strongo I think records shOw that out of tlla forty fi'98 states aud
ts:rritories, that W7oming ranks fit"teenth in tlB amount of compensation.
Or in other words, \?YOming is in the first third which I. think is ex.Ji

about only five years oldo While I believe it would be nide for
our state to head the 11st, I hardly ithink. it 3,s just the time for
us to increase the compensation too much.
There are quite a number ot otmr minor correct-

ions of tlla law which Will COD8 up, but I do not believe tbay Will
affect tha emploJer one way o:r another.

Dear Sir:
Referring to your 1 etter of June 9, 1921, in
regard to occupations which should be classified as
Extra-Hazardous:

It is my opinion also, that Material Clerks and
their Assistants should be classed as holding Hazardous
positions.

Yours respectfully,

Dear Mr o Brooks:! have your letter of the 11th and I
consider the thought as expressed therein an
excellent idea.
The doctors certainly do not come through
with reports so as to be abl e to settle matters
promptly; and furthe1°more 9 i t is getting so that
they are leaning more towards the miners than the
companies; as they get their appointments and election from the miners, it will be neoessary for us
to impress them, i n some way, so that we will get a
fair deal and prompt action o

I very much favor your scheme. and I will
be glad to participateo
I take it the ex~ense of
this matter will be borne by Southern Wyoming Coal
Operators Associationo
Yours truly,

PJQ-P.

Mr o Eo S . Brooks 9

Rock Springs, ~iyoo ,
De ar Sir:

Re fe rr ing to your lett er of September 14, relative
to the reporting on ou r summary received from the Workmen's

Compensa.tio n Department of the n ames of men in the service of
t he John Wo - Hey Coa 1 Ccmp any, Hanna , Wyoming, who are injured
from time to time:
Upon receipt of your letter I wrote Mr • .A. D. Hoskins,
State Treasurer" who is in ohare;e of the Workmen's Compensation

Department, and he advises under date of September 19, as follows:
"Replying to your letter of the 17th
instant, beg to advise you that at no time have we
considered the Jobn fl. Hay Coal Company as a subsidiary
of the Union Pa cific Coal Company, and that we have .not,
charged any of the award s to employees of the John w.
Hay Coal Company to the Union Paci~ic Coal Company funds."
From this letter I assume that we have not been charged
with any payments which should have been charged to the John W.
Hay Coal Company.
Yours respectfully,

Dear Sir:A fev,.r iays ago a committee of four men
representing the Local Uni9n here,came in to see
me and put in a claim for ~) 100000 for-· the burial
of Ja,mes Dumas ,a miner who 1tJas killed by going b~k
on a shot,he had. lit up in his room in Moa7½ mine
0':1 24th day of IJarche

Thls clai:a1 they SE'id. was 5-n line with the
last fol1r lines of paragraph D of Section 19 of V'lark1aen Corr:1:,ensa.tion .J..ct of this state which reads:
-- ~Tnen death, results :from an tnjury
the expense of burial,shall be paid
not to exceed On!? Hundred Dollars
( $ 100. 00) in any case unless other
arrangements exist between employer
and employee under a~reemmt.

----

9

I referred them to page ten of our agre~ment which cove rs cases of this kind where in the

}!liners contribute $ 1. 00 per man, ·1nd the compe.ny
0 50.00 which in WY opinion relieves the company
from pa:7ing this ~ lOOeOO,but they contend th~t t is·
is cor.:trm.bu.ted fol' the bene'.fi t of the dependents ,and

not for burmal purposes.

Later they took this question up with J mes
1'.Iorgan,and they tell me th&amp;.t he sustains them in rtht tr
cla im•,a.nd I u.nderstand that they are now taking t. is up
with the county attorney to ~et a ruling on it.
1

---------- ~ - - - -- --

�____,,

Mr George B Pryde.
This is the fmrst time this question has be·en

raised,and we have never paid the hundred dollars in
cases of this lcind,and in further support of my standoI
wish to eall yolh.r attention t ,o lines 30,31,32t339.34,3S,
a.na. 36 of our agreement which says.
In case there is no ~amily or heirs,
all money collected as above shall be
returned pro r a ta to the company and
loca l union fr om whom collected after
f une r a l expe nses have be e n pa ido
9

This r~: my op ini on shows tha t i t is an a ~.
agreement to cover case~ of th i s ki nd, a.nd re li eve the
com-peny of payLng thi s~ 100.00

Yours truly .

Dear Sir:The following ecli t oxtal appeare d in the riyomi ng State Tribune
issue of October 6th.

il_~he newspa pers of Uyomi ng have been convinced that the rtorltmen 's
Compensa tion act need s r evising. J~very industry is :placed on the
extra ha za rdous li s t. The follon ing :from the Wyoming State
Journa l a t Lander throws some light on the situation..,
The i'lyomi ng ·Jor kme n rs Com-pe n s a ti~n act needs amending BI·bou.t as
badly as a ny of t he laws on t h e st a tute books. All industri•es
that come un der its provisions -cay the same flat rata regard,lesa
of the hazard of e mploymen+, . For instance, print shops pay· tJ,..e
same a s c )a l mines r.hen as a mat t er of f act, since the passage
of this lav; n ') printer in the enti r e state bas been s.e:tinualy
injured, except one and he r.as a homesteader on the stde andL hie
t eam r an av;•a;1 and nearly kill ed him while he was out v~orking on
his home~tead. Some of the newspapers of Wyoming have r-a id!. as
much as ,~3,000 into this f und ri i thout any of their emp•lo,yes'
ever having had occasion to call for relief. The tax· ought .
rightly to :fall upon the more hazardous forms of employment. 11
~hough} perhaps you might hav:e o"ve:r-looked this and wa.nted to call
it to your attention.
For you.r information, I have s ent a copy of this to r.,i r .. Quealy,
Yours truly.

Dear Sir:

Am watching this very carefully now and have again

taken up with the Mine Superintendents the matter of giving
careful consideration to the blanks furnished by you.

Hope

we '1:ill do some good in this connection.

The Moriyama case is just another case which shows
that if pro per investigation. had been made in the first place,

it y,ould lJs ,vell for us to have L!I'o Wrieht exa..n1il'ltad

followine mann.er "tfilile picJ.ring coa,l a piece

Employers repor·t a£ Accid ent filed :.:ay 24th
1 924: voucher for ~~251 .. 6 1 for tc.u:, ora ry total
disability was mailed , by thP. Clerk of Court,
to Barvandakis on October 16th 1924.

This v1orlGnan t ·uhen r1?.I)Orti11g to Dr.Finch for
treatment, did not advise the doctor of any
previous injury,and :!)r. Jri,1ch was not a cquainted with "lihis fact until advised some "d.me
l f!,ter , by Dr.Strader,that. Barvandak:1.s had this
s~~e eye lnjurcd in 1918 while serving in the
Greek Ar.11.y.,
It appears as though l3arvandaJ.c is int ends to
base his claim for loss of vision, vrhich clai;u
he filed. in October 1924 v;i th the Clerk of ~i'le
court of Carl:ion Coubty, on a. le tter from the
cor.w1issioner of Immigration, in reply to Ba rva,ndal(is' inquiry, regarding condition of the
workman's eyes ~t the t ime of his admission to

this countryo
DI'. Finch could not state the cha.ra.ctea: of the

eAamination given the eyes of immigr~nte, but
he ii:: of the opinion that they were examined only
fo~ contagious disease.
Hc.ve v,r:ttten the commissioner of Imra.ie;ration at
):1ew York a:slting further information :regarding this
examination.

In hie report to the court,regarding thtscase.

Dr o Strao.er says "It is extremenly doubtful if the
~article of coal which the man got into the eye
had anything to do with the loss of visionoin my
opinion the lose of vision is entirely due to old
changes in the vitreous, and the vitre ous are in
all probability due to the old wa1• injury" o

In viev1 of the fact that Dr. Str'ader does not think
~hat this loes of vision wae due to injury received
in our mines , we should resist any further awards,
of any kind,to Barvandakis as it begins to look as
though nthe \7orkman was imp osing on us.

r,rarch 2nd 1925.

On account of the advanc ed e.ee of 'i/alton,
68 years, Dr. Finch is of the opinion that
the chances e,re very remote of the fra ctured
bones ever making a complete and servic eabl e
union, a ncl. he has little d oubt but that this
will be a case of permanent tota l disabilityo
vralton is married, lifo children, which entitles him to ~6Oo0O per wonth, at present,
fo~ temporary total disabilityo

The doctor reports t hat ,his patient has
shown a u1arked improvement .:~ ·i;he past week,
and ar&gt;pears to be getting stronger, e a.ts
heartily and sleeps well.
It would be well perhaps to allow this case
to run along for a period, of s ay si:.c i.1ont hs ,
and if at the end of this period he does not
show a marked improvement we could have an
exa.minat10:1 made with a view to final settlement.

Confirming our conversation September 21st:
When men employed on a monthly basis, who are not members
of the United Mine Workers Union, receive injuries disqualifying them from
service and which automatically bring them under the 'terms of the Compensation Act, the usua l report of' the accident should be made and claim
made for compensation by the individual, you to determine the amount of
compensation paid by the State, continuing to pay the individual so in-

jured the difference betV1een the amount of compensation received or
payab~e and his previous monthly salary; this arrangement to continue
for three months from date of injury, after which any case requiring
further determination should be submitted for consideration and disposition .

Curnberland, Wyo., Jan. 25th, 1926,

Mr. George Bo Pryde:

In an.swer to your letter of Jan. 19th, regarding
coal contTactors carried on our rolls and paid compensation
i11 case of injurJ , wish to say that we have never had any

accidents for which we ha ve paid them cd&gt;mpensation. We also
use our coal contractor on other terun work in cases of emergency and pay him just teamster's rate as per contract with
U.M. u. of A. He furnishes his own teams and equipment and

feeds his own horses. All v,e pay him for hauling coal is 75¢
per to.n . His earnings for the year 1925 were ~~2069.81 which
includes what extra work we give him for other hauling.

He

has to furnish

two teams and equipment for

Six months out of the twelve. I believe if we try to make

any ,c hanges from our present arr~gements we would not be
able to get this work done ·f or the price we are at present'
as our contractor does not make company wages.

Accident Compensation for Harbor
Workers Urgently Awaits
Action by Congress
By JOHN B. ANDREWS
HE introduction in Congress-by the chairmen of the judiciary
committees-of a federal workmen's compensation bill for the
relief of the group of workers most urgently in need of such protection, formally marks the opening of another chapter in one of the
most amazing developments in American labor legislation.
A third of a million "harbor workers"-engaged in the extremely
hazardous tasks of loading, unloading and repairing vessels at the
dock-are placed in a position that from any point of view is
indefensible.
Exposed to risks far greater than most factory employees are
pennitted to assume, these essential wage-earners suffer work injuries for which the individual states cannot provide accident
c-ompensation.
The longshoreman if inju,r ed-while on shor~ has the protection of
state compensation la-ws. But let him walk up the gangplank a11d
step aboard a ship with bis load and he is denied that protection.
If injured aboard a vessel his sole recourse-a damage suit-is
u.nder maritime restrictions that make it unworthy the name of
"remedy."
The compensation principle has been almost universally adopted
for work accidents elsewhere. Why are these great groups of men
in extra~hazardous empioytnents-longsh.oremen and local ship
repainnen-given a less favorable opportunity when they suffer
injury?
When the states in 1911 first enacted workmen's cortipensation
laws, they included longshoremen and repairmen at the d,ock~ as a
matter of course. These workers were so protected until the
?~Preme Court in 1917 held by a five-to-four decision that when
inJured on board a ship, the accident was "maritime" and therefore

T

�outside of state jurisdiction.1 Twice Congress attempted t
these objections a_nd remedy t~e desperate condition of th; t:e~
shoremen by specifically reservmg to them the protection of g
• h.
state
compensation laws. T he.se e_fft
orJ s, d. esp1te t eh1r characterization as
"statesmanlik~' by the ~monty ustices, were eld to be beyond the
authority of Congress m that such power delegated to the sta
would interfere with the proper harmony and uniformity of :~:
maritime law.2
It is important to note that longshoremen alone are not the only
harbor workers affected. A carpenter, an upholsterer, a painter
a machinist, a hotter maker-in short, a_n! one of the repairme~
representing no less than twenty-two different crafts involvedwhen his work takes him even for a moment on board a vessel cannot
in case of accident receive compensation under the laws of his
own state.
In holding that all such "maritime" workers throughout th,e
country must be treated with absolute uniformity, the court has
finally suggested the solution. The remedy lies in the adoption by
Congress of a law extending federal protection to harbor workers.l1
Meanwhile, America. has step by step, in state after state, discarded as unfit the outgrown and disc.redited system of employers'
liability suits for damages. Congress, also, has adopted the modem
principle of workmen's compensation for all civilian employees of the
government. Experience has shown the superior advantages of
worlanen's compensation to injured workers, to their employers,
and to the whole community.
There can be but one satisfactory remedy for local harbor
worl;(ers-a federal accident compensation law. But these men,
longshoremen and ship repairmen, are employed not only in our
seapo.rts and along the lake fronts but are scattered throughout the
country along river landings-in fact, wherever their work is to be
done upon vessels afloat. With benefits at least as liberal as
those of the compensation law in New York, where many of the
: So~thern Pacific Co. v. Jensen, 244 U. S. 205.
.
Kniclcerbocker Ice Co. v. Stewart 253 U. S. 149 • State of Washington "'·
Da?'son &amp; Co., 264 U. S. 219.
'
'
State ~f ~ashington v. Dawson &amp; Co., 264 U. S. 219.
• e the
. ')Vtthout doubt Congress bas power to alter, amen.d o~ revi.s and
!llaritime law ~Y statutes of g~neral application embodying its will enJUdgment. This power, we think, would permit enactmeD,t of a fing
!!-r!!,1 employers' liability law or gerteral provisions for compeJ!Sa
tnJured employees."

shuttled ~bout- out agam,_ m agam"-by closely divided opinions
of the highest court. Patiently_ they have exhausted every legal
approach to the local _co_mpens_atio~ remedy'. ~oth they and their
employers are now left m a situation that 1s mdefensible and unbearable.
The officers of the longshoremen's union, with the same careful
consideration that won high praise from distinguished judges for
their earlier "statesmanlike" efforts, are again utilizing every facility
at their command to reach a remedy that will be liberal to injured
workers, fair to employers, and just and stable under the constitutio.n of the United States. Other national affiliated railway and
repair workers' organizations have promptly offered their endorse•
ment and support. The American Federation of Labor, at its recent
convention, gave to the project its unanimous vote.
It is known that recently ~mployers in the shipping worldimpressed it is said by injustices and wastefulness of present conditions- have gone so far as to have their attorneys work on the
draft of a federal compensation measure.
Meanwhile, influential . labor groups with their advisors, ia
cooperation with the American Association for Labor Legislation
and several public officials, were already perfecting a hill for introduction in Congress. Having worked consistently year after year
for adequate accident compensation, the Assodation is actively
participating in this promising new movement, and will continue
its efforts until a satisfactory federal measure is in successful
operation-the most urgent next step toward the completion of
compensation protection.
.
The pending measure, which has been approved by compensation
officials throughout the country, and endorsed by the workers for
whom this protection is primarily intended, was . introduced in
Congress by the chairmen of the judiciary committees-Senator
Cummins and Representative Graham.
This bill ( s. 3170 and H. R. 9498) embodies the best feature~
of existing compensation acts. The scale of benefits is wisely based

"THE doss of longshoremen needs the pl"otaction of compe111ation as
much if not more than any other clil!l::i of workmen, Their occupa.
tion, so eS$ential to the prosperity of the tr.:ide of the United StateJ,, is
extr-a hazardous, both on account of its noture and on account of the
pressure undar which it must often be parformed. It is unjust to these
men and to their families tl1at the burden of loss resulting from thousa.ncu
of accidents a.nnually should be left by the law qo. theiJ'I shoulders. The
resulting discontent and diosotisfaction is easy to understand. The ship•
repair men fonn also -1 large dass among whom injuries are frequent,
o.nd they find it difficult to understa.nd why the carpenter, brass worker~
or plwnber employed to repnir a ship in tLe harbor ahould receive no
compensation, while if he were employed in n building on t.lie dock,
he wollld be proteded by the Stato c.ompens.ition law."-SENATOR
BORAH, in a report for the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, submitted in J92I.

!Jr• GeO •

B. Pryde :
Since talking with you the other day regarding our experience ~ith the

Nestor White Compensation Case, I have been wondering if any of the compensation
cases which t1e heve been reporting "Closed", in Report of Compensation Cases

'

Forni 11, are in fact closed, or are these cases reported as closed merely continued cases as in the Nestor \','hite Case.

Enclosed a re copies of 1;10rding of joint stipulations which are being
used in the various districts in settlement of claims for c~mpensation for the

account oi The Union Pacific Coal Company.
Please note that part of stipulation 't'Thich we use in Sweetwater County
uith reference to Final Settlement.

This form was dictated by Mr, Taliaferro for

the very purpose of avo i ding such an occurrence as the Whit.a case.

I am not sure

that this stipulation YJill answer the purpose for which it is intended or not,
but think Mr . Taliaferro has •s uccessfully resisted re-opening of a number of cases

which had been settled by Jchis form for some of the other operators whom he represents.
This form was not drawn with the idea of depriving any of our workmen
of their rights, but \".'as intended to definitely close cases where the Surgeon

had reported that workmen have fully recovered from the effects of the injury,

and the

1ng board, certifying as to the percent of disability ~hich was present at the
ti.Jlle· of final examination, we stipulate with workman for an award in the amount
due

work!Jle,n, based on final report of examining board, and ti is also stipulated
,

tMJ award shall be in final settlement of all claim for compensation for this
·

part1CU

l aI' inJ· ur y sustained by workman.

If such a t hing is possible, we should adopt some standard form of word

4

ing of stipule.tion that would, \"1ithout question, definitely close these cases so
that when cases are reported to our General Solicitor as being closed we could
feel that \·,e were ccrrect in so reporting them, and not find later that our report

r.as misleading and that cases are continued instead of being closed.

Important
EFfEGl'IVE APRIL 1st, 1927,

In addition to the regular monthly premiums required by Section 4331 to be l)ald into the Industrial Accident
Fund, every employer coming within the purview of the Workmen's Compensation Act wlll be required to make a
monthly payment to be known as a " SERVICE A.ND POLIOING OHARGE."
The amount of balance in the Industrial Accident Fund to the employer's credit will not relieve him of his
liability to make this payment; provided, however that any employer whose account is overdrawn and who ls

Omaha - January 31, 1928.

Mr. G. B. Pryde:
In Mr . Harri ngton's monthly report of compensation
eases for December , 1927, the Gus Ebner case , No. 2042,is
still carried on the dock et, "Compensation disputed, protest
fil ed."

As r,e arranged to pay Mr. Ebner $40.00 per month~
effective \"Ii th the month of November:, 1927, this case should
be clear ed from mr. Harrington ' s docket.
Pl ease h ave Mr. Harrington advise just what is
meant by a disputed case, as, for example, his summary ~f
l 11
Winton cas es for December shows "Pending disputed cases ,
While the det a il report shows five cases in the disputed
col umn.

Why IFilorridla Should Adopt Accident

LORIDA is undergoing a rem a rkable d evelopment. A m ong h er
many activities tha t involve d a nger to
life and lim b are th e extra-hazardous
occupations of buildine and r oad construction, excavatio n work, a nd lumbering.
Visitors to this sta le have commented with surprise upon the lack of
a modern state p r og ra m fo r dealing
,~ith occupatio na l accid e nts.
Florida increasingly need s a ccident
compensation, wh ich fifte en years' experience in A merica h as demonstrated
to be b eneficial alike to employers,
employees, and the w h ole community.
Employers as well as safety expe rts
and public officials through o ut the
country have given e loquen t testimony
t~ the fact tha t workmen's compensation laws, in a ddition to providing reasonable and certain care for inj ure d
workers and their d ependents, have
pro~ed a most e ffective s timulus to

harbor workers in all states who are injured while at work on
board a vessel. Eve ry Canadian province is ~vered b:, aucb

wide attention. Greater production and construction mean more accidents, and
call for
the modern and scientific remedy.
Employers' liability, with its long-drawn-out, costly and uncertain d amage suits, is an
unjust and outgrown system.

Workmen's compensation - the modern plan- provides adequate and certain pay,
ments on a weekly basis at the time they are most needed. It 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 in~~
trial cripples. This legislation, which is supplementary to workmen's compensation, 15 ID

in adopting a workmen's compensation law?

This mo~ey i s col lected l)y t h e Uom9a.ny and turned over to the l:Iospita.l

Heretofere the local doctor made no oharge whatever f or t r eati ng minor injuries t~ mine '\'lorke-rs, a.nd only in the case
of seri ous i.i1ju.ry nhen a me.n lost considerable time and was taken to the

I ~ould be very glad to have a letter from 1our

�Why Congress Should Provide Accident Compensation for the District of Columbia
ONGRESS has long neglected the

C private employees in the District
of Columbia. T h ey have no accid en t
compensa tion law, not even a n emJoyers' liability statute, a nd there is
~ot so much as a sim p le provision for
accident repo rting, to say nothing of
the most elem e ntary regulations for
accident preventio n.
Employees e ngaged in b uilding construction a nd woo d w orking p lants,
painters, electric ians, drivers and elevator op erators, a re among those
workers in extrn-hazard o us occupa tions
in the District of Columbia w ho are left
with practically no protection wh en in•
jured in the course of empl oymen t.
Employers as well as safety experts
and public o fficials throug ho ut the
country have g iven elo quent testimony
to the fact tha t workmen's compensa•
tion laws, in a ddit ion to pro viding reasonable a nd certain care for injured
workers and their dependents, hav e
proved a most effective stimulus to
Accident Prevention.

The Tragedy of Work Accidents
What a w ork accident means to
the wage-earner's family and to the
conununity without compensation protection has b een · vividly set forth by
Warren H. Pillsbury who served as a
niernber of the California Industrial A ccident
Conunission. Describing the tra gedy of un•
cornpensated disability to a worker, he wrote :

"When obliged to leave work, the income

lllgs will seldom last for more than a week or

MEN maimed for life while at their
work almost under the shadow
of the Capitol dome, but receiving not

lawyers; families running hopelessly in
debt for the necessaries of life while
court action proceeds at a snail's pace;
children's schooling prematurely stopped because of the family's urgent
need; failure to adopt the simplest safety
precautions and devices because no
pressure exists to make it worth while
-such are some of the incidents encountered in a recent study of industrial accidents in the District of Columbia by the American Association for
Labor Legislation.

Costly "Damage Suit" System StiRil Exists ID
the District of CohJimbia

U

NDER the rules of common law, as there is
not even a liability statute for the District of C olumbia , both employer a nd 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 d am ages ; the

injured employee who sues his employer gets
prac tically nothin g ; even when he wins, he
mus t divide w h a t h e gets w ith his lawyer.

Unsuited to Modern Conditions

earners, 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

g ame ,, count er propos1bon
by a certain class of "damage suit"
lawyers.
In its campaign 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 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 Congre$8 now do as well for the District of
Columbia?

that the causes of a ccidents have become obscure and difficult to identify.
As a res ult, reports show that in a substantial
number of cases no rec overy whatever is possible and in a still larger propo rtion, the damages
awarded are negligible.
Occasionally, we h ear of large awa,rds 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
5 0 per cent of the sum granted consume a sub·
stantial part of the money awarded.
Finally, a law suit stirs up bard feeling be•
tween the worker and his employer.

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

Forty-three states bav:e already adopted
workmen's compensation laws because tbeY
have come to recognize that the system of suit•
for damages is inherently unfitted to 111odern industrial conditions, grossly unfair to tbe
worker, vexatious and sometimes very costlY
to the employer, and harmful to the colllmw:uty.

�How Accident Compensation Can Lighten the Burden
AMILIES that are plunged into
destitution as a result of a work
accident that kills or disables the breadwinner must be assisted. A responsibility falls upon the State, whether or
not the accident is due to the hazard of
the job or to the negligence of employer or employee. If the State has
no compensatio n law a heavy burden
of relie f is th rown u pon public and
private charity, and the community
shares this burd en. But the distribution
of the burden is not just, and such reliance on charity is u ncertain and degrading.

�Will Congress End This "National Disgrace''?
.
Years bills to provide accident compensation for wage-earners in Private
FOR seven
employments in the District of Columbia and to remedy what the Washington News calls
an "intolerable state of affairs," have been urged upon Congress, b ut final action has been
delayed.

The American Association for Labor Legislation has recently made a survey of work
accidents in the District, supplementing its similar study carried on in 1923-24. It shows
that, while Congress delays, tragedies occur in the homes of injured workers. These findings
have been laid before Congress.

Of sixty-one accident cases just examined in which the compensation is known, fifty.
two received absolutely nothing from their employers as compensation fol' their injuries. Only
three men received something-after strong trade union 'pressw·e had been applied-from
liability insurance companies. In twenty-one of these 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 1-elation 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 Chrisbnas holidays,
he went to the widow with a check for $1,500. Her son was out of a job, her married daugb·
ter could not help, her Y&lt;&gt;Unger 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 saffold. Such a condition is indeed "intolerable,"
Congress alone can provide the needed remedy.

Dear Sir: -You might be interested in a copy of a letter that I have
written to Mr. Knox in ansv1er to a letter that Mr. Bottomley urote to
ilr. Knox.

In this lette r I treat Mr. Harrington's office as a part

of my off ice, so ·rar as co.wpensation matters are concerned .

When a

report cooes to hi m, I have treated it as though the report came to

me, as i t di d befor e I ~as relieved of the clerical part of this business.
From v:hat I have seen and from what I hear, the administration of compensation ca ses, is more expensive in some other parts of the state
than along the railroad, which ought not to be."

I do not understand

ho11 the State Treasurer justifies the surgeon's bills uhich Mr . Bottomley says are being paid in the Sheridan District.

Ur• Bottomley

\il'ites l!lr. I&lt;"..nox that the surgeon charges !!lileage "from three to fift een ciollarsn for very slight injuries.

Under the la\, , I do not see

hoTT any such charges can be passed by the State Tr~asurer and the

st ate Auditor.

Former boys were shcnm, for

.
. Business men deplore and denounce increases
m taxes; but the expenditures of state and local
govern~ents continue to grow. Many fortns of
ex~enditure by the Federal Government continue
to increase, and the total burden of taxes tends
to become heavier.
Who is resp?nsible? Ask almost any business
man, and he will blame the politicians. We shall
make more pr?gress in improving both govern~e.nt and bu~mess when we put the responsibility "Y~ere 1t belo~gs. Practically every increase m ta,xes and m government interference
with business is due more to our business men
than to our politicians.
Business men are the most influential class ·in
the country. They never had so much influence
in any other country as they have here, and never
so much influence here as they have now. Most
politicians do not disregard what business men
want.
They may disregard what business men say
they want, but 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 Natio·n'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 statements in Herbert Hoover's
speech accepting nomination for the ~residency
were more generally endorsed by busmess men
than these:
"It is the duty of the Government. to avoid
regulation as long as equal o_ppo~turuty_ to all
citizens is not invaded and public ngh_ts v1ol~ted.
The Government should not engage m busmess
• competition with its citizens."

\Vi l_l h e ia\'Or a form of government interferl'n ce 111. oth_er people's business that he would
oppose 10 his own business ?
H these quc-stio11s must be answered in the
affirma tive, he may believe he is opposed to undue governmental activities and excessive goyernmental expenditures, while he is effectively
promoting them.
Now, anybody who will thoughtfully survey
• what is going on throughout the country must
agree that many business men are constantly
answering "yes" to these questions.
It has been constantly asserted that the Federal Government has built larger and more expensive post office buildings than private companies would have built to handle the same
amount of business, and that the Federal Govern·
ment has wasted large amounts in "impr~ving"
watenvays 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 Gove_rnment of $200,000 upon a building or anything
else in bis own community when $100,000 woRuld
have been sufficient, or even too much?
e·
gardless of the merits of the Boul_der. Dam co:~
troversy, for example, is it not significant th.
though there is much dpposition to it from business men in other parts of the country, ~ere
is no perceptible opposition from the. buSineri~
men of 'Los Angeles and the surrounding ter
tory?
The expenditures on highwavs

years have been enormous. To what exten. d' "'

"' '1\\ 0 1

To

\1hat extent_ have local business men interested
t emselves m . these expenditures excepting to
pull for th e ~~nstruction of highways irt their
own communities and territories?
How many business men can say they have
nev~r favored the application to other people's
b~smess of any government policy which they
&lt;ltd not want applied to their own?
What often happens is illustrated by tbe
condu:t of t~e agent of a large insurance company m an important western state. He was
r~cently divi_ding his time between opposing at
111s state capital the establishment of a state fund
for workmen's compensation insurance and advocating the adoption of municipal ow~ership of
the local street railway system in his home city.
He thought he was opposed to socialism, and he
could easily recognize it when it was proposed to
apply 'it to his own business, but he did not so
quickly recognize and react against it when it
was proposed to apply it to the business of somebody else.
There is only a handful of theoretical socialists
in this country. Extremely few of our business
men are theoretical socialists. But that is no
reason why we should comfort ourselves with the
belief that socialistic policies will make no
progress, especially if we have only to look
around us to see that they are making progress.
Our danger is 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 ta~es in too f!1Uch
territory. Nobody wants any of his own terntory
taken in.
Some Socialists Are Dangerous
A practical socialist is a man who will favor
almost any form of governme!'tal act~on, however socialistic, which he beheves will . benefit
him. Now the woods are full of practical socialists; and they are dangerous becaus~ there
are so ma.ny of them, and because, u_nltke the
theoretical . socialists, they get something doni:.
You cannot get many people to favo~ government regulation or ownership of all busmess, but
you can always get a great many to favor almost
any kind of government interference ~vith almost
any one k_ind of bu~in_ess. Hence while the general cloctrme of soc1ahsm m~kes al~o~t no progress in this country, practical soc1ahsm grows

Are Coal Operators Socialists?
State workmen's compensation insurance was
establis hed in West Virginia in 1913. A high
authority says it owes its creation principally to
the coal mine operators. Now, can you beat that?
Are the coal mine operators of West Virginia
:-ocialists ? Not as regards their own business.
No doubt they would unanimously oppose
g-overnment ownership of the coal mines, which
has had many adYocates, as "contrary to the
genius of American institutions and to every
~ound principle of economics." But how about
socialis m in the insurance business? Wellt hey are n ot in the insurance business.
E. E. 'Watson, an actuary, after an investigalion, reported abQ_ut a year a~o that the ~est
Virginia workmen's compensat10n fund was impaired" to the e~ent of almost $5,000,000, a condition said by insurance experts to be the result
of the c.:harging by the state of a rate much lower
than has been shown by actuarial figures to ~c
sound. The result is, in e~ect, that the publ~c
is p aying part of the premmms for_ w?r_kmen s
compensation insurance in West V1rgm1a,_ and
t hat taxes in the state are thereby made higher
than they otherwise would be.
Fine examples of the inconsistency of ~any
bus iness men who profess to be op~osed to government in business" are afforded m the field of
transportation. The railway came after the
waterway and the highway, b~t .for alm?st
hundred years has been our principal earner o
commerce.

" Inland \Vaterways Corporation" is merely a
s tage name for the GoYernment of the United
S_tat.es. The. barge service on the Mississippi
nver system is a plain case of government ownership and operation in competition with the
railroads.
The operation by the Government of this barge
line was begun eight years ago ostensibly as _an
e:-..1)eriment to determine whether such a sen•1ce
could be successfully conducted. Probably it
would have been conceded at that time by all
its advocates that eight years would be suffici~nt
for the test. Recently, however, Congress, with
the approval of business men, especiallr t~ose. of
the Mississippi Valley, trebled the cap1tahzation
of the Government's corporation in ord:r that
it might correspondingly enlarge its service.
Because the Government is furnishing and ~tending the service, municipaliti~s along tb e
Mississippi and its tributaries, influenced_ {
local business men' are building waterh termina
Govern-s
at public expense. In order to help t e • the
ment's barge line compete successfully witr h
railways, Congress has given a branch °Cotro:
Government, the Interstate Commerc\ tes
mission broad power to fix the throng rake

When business men who a\'or t&gt; r10e are
ownership and operation of the barge

~f

[81

told that it is socialistic and, therefore contr
to their avowed ~ri~ciples, they all ~ake :~
sai:ne answer. ~his _is, that government owner
ship and operation 1s to be temporary, that if
t!1e S7ov~rnment makes a success of the barge
hne 1t will be turned over to private enterprise.
T his raises some significant questions:
\ Vhen did private enterprise in this country
begin to show such lack of initiative and courage as to ask th_e Governmen_t to undertake any
p ro1ect that private enterprise really believed
could be made successful?
1f b usiness men believe, as most of them prof css t.o, that government management is sure to
he inefficient, how can they believe that government management of the barge line will be
efficient enough to make it a success?
If the Government does make a success of it,
why have the barge line taken over by private
enterprise? Why not have the Goyernment ontr
continue to own and operate it, and then see _1£
the Government cannot also make a success m
manufacturing, mining and other lines of buslness?
1£ socialistic policy in the field of transportation is desirable, why not in all lines of bus10ess?
It is easy to understand why th~ G?vernment should get out of a business in which_ 1t makes a •
failure but will not private enterprise show a
~eat deal of imprudence if it stays out of the
barge business until it bas been made a succ~ss
at the expense of the tax-payers, and th en tnes
to grab it in order to get the profits?
What Makes a Failure?
There are still other questions th at may be
asked of business men who are backing govrnment ownership and operation of the barge me.

�terminals, it seems certain that even though,
measured by ordipary economic and business
standards, the experiment could be conclusively
demonstrated to be a failure it would be extremely difficult to get the barge service abandoned , or e,·en to preYent it from being extended.

;o, ernment ow11ership and operation of a

It is generally agreed by business men that
the growing burden of taxes, and the increasing
tendency of the Government to interfere and
engage in business, are twin menaces to our
welfare.

I repeat that business men themselves are
9r these menaces. They are
chiefly responsi.
constantly promoting schemes on a local, state
and even national scale to increase governmental
expenditures and thereby taxes.
Business men are constantly backing projects
for increased g overnmental interference and
competition with other people's business. They
do these things in their supposed self-interest.
By doing them, however, they usually, in the
long run, work contrary to their own interest
and thc1:t of everybody else. They have to help
pay the increased taxes that they make ne~essary, and they set precedents, by promotwg
government interference in other people's business, that are used to justify similar foterference
in their own business.
And thus they go on, year after year, increasing taxes while dt!nouncing the politicians because taxes are high, and helping to establish a
socialist state while talking at their luncheons
and dinners and conventions against socialism
and socialistic policies.

I thank you for 11aving written me your l ette: of

February 21 callin½ attention to the mistake made in my article
i n The Nation's Business f or November, re uarding the vrorkmen' s

compensati on i nsurance l::i:,1 of Wyomine .
Of course, I make no pretense of being an exµe r t
uoon this subject.

All the statements made ill my article were

based upon inforrna tion given in a memorandum which was prepared

for me by a man uho bears the reoutation of being an exuert re garding insurance matters.

I am very sorry if the statement wade

by me was_misleading, but I feel sure tha t it did 11 ttle harm,

I am g lad you enjoyed reading my article.
yours very sincerely,

Dear Sir ,

I n o~der th~t a unif orm system may be in operation relative
to compen~&lt;:1-?1on cla~ms a1;d the employer's assent, may I not suggest
that tne 1,~ ne Su per1ntennent at Hanna make out the claim and assent

blanl{ in t r i plica t e, as t he same is done at Superior and that it be
forwarded by t he IJiine Su perintendent to Mr. Harringt~n at Rock Sprinas
for execution by t h e employer.
0

The cla i m and a s s fft \7ill • reach Mr. Harrington just as quickly
as the cla i m and. a ssent reaches him from Superior, Vlinton and Reliance,
so t here i s no i n convenienc_e or delay on this score .

I understan d· tha t there are a few lapses in the administration
because the Ra.11-~ a compensation awards do not come immediately under
Mr. Harrin~ton
' s supervision until after these documents are filed in
the court, 0 and i'reauent ly after the Judge has passed upon them .
To my .mind tru.s will all be avoided by adopting the same
system at Hanna as is in operati?n here at Rock Springs .

obstacles we have encountered in this campaign. Railway unions

But the progressive citizens of all gr-oups have won in
North Carolina. We are n0\7 giving further attention to Arkansas
and Florida where the drafted bills and supporting material have
been circulated widely. Through our members in these states helpf ul conferences are under way. Our goal is to see the tour remaining black spots removed from the Compensation Map!
