Where the Industrial Commission proceeds
without any evidence in allowing compensation,

it Is without jurisdiction, and appe a l Iles to
the courts.
Id.
Even though the Industri al Commission a ct
did not a uthorize the question of ultimate li a bility of the employer to be r eviewed on appea l or by dir ect a c tion, such right would exist bl' virtue of sec. 2, art. 1, of the Cons titution .

calculated to ascertain the substantial rights of the parties and to carry out
justly the spirit of this title.
3150. Minor deemed sui juris. A minor working at an age legally permitted under the laws of this state shall be deemed sui juris for the purpose
of this title, and no other person shall have any cause of action or right to

Dear Mr. Livingston:

About two years ago, your company was very cordial on
an occasion when I brought Mr. Sewell Thomas, a consulting
engineer of Denver, to Do 0o Clark Mine where he saw a number
of things of interest, particularly the belt conveyoro Both
he and I appreciated your courtesy.

The Barber Asphalt Corporation, for which company Mr.
Thomas has been and still is Consulting Engineer, has sold
half interest to the Standard Oil Company of California, and
has changed its name to the American Gilsonite Company,,
The new President of this company, Mr. Hansen, has now
expressed the desire to visit your D„ 0„ Clark Mine, and your
Stansbury Mine.

So the purpose of this letter is to ask you if I may bring
him and Mr. Thomas and the Mine Superintendent, Mr. Barry,
sometime about the middle or latter part of May of this year to
see these properties and the points of interest in and around
them.
In all probability they will resume operations by then,
or before—I hope.

Thanking you, I am
Yours very truly,

Rock Springs, Wyo,

Dear Mr, Livingston,,
We have in Rawlins a Toastmasters Club, whose members at there meetings
give speeches on different subjects,,
I would liEe to make a talk about your coal mine at Superior, Wyoming,,
Iwould like to know if I could get your permission to go into your mine
at Superior, so I could actually see what a mine looks like, see how the
coal is really mined and also see the conveyor belt in action that brings
xhe coal to the surface, Then I would be more capable of really putting
my speech over to the club members.

If given permission, I would like to know if a Saturday or Sunday would
not be as good a day as any, to go through the mine.
Yours truly,

F,R, Anderson,
1309 Maple Street

Mr. 8. L. Eddersham
Graduate College
Leheigh University
Princeton, Weiv Jersey
Dear Mr. Eddersham:
This will advise receipt of your letter of Juno 10th
making inquiry concerning a visit to The Union Pacific Coal Company’s
property during the month of July.

I am sorry to inform you that I think it is not advisable
to visit the U. P. property during the month of July. For your
information, due to dieselization of the Railroad our mining dis­
tricts at Rock Springs, Reliance, Stansbury, kinton and Hanna have
all been closed and at the present time we are only operating the
Superior District one day every other week or approximately two
days a month, and our present program calls for possibly two or
three days work during July. Then too the miners' vacation begins
on June 28th and lasts through July Pth. Therefore, T do not think
you would gain a great deal of information from visiting the property
as the Superior raining district is on a very slight pitch, and all
of the mines that were operating in the steeply pitching seams have
been closed particularly at Hanna, Stansbury and Kinton. There are
no mines operating in the Rock Springs Field on steeply pitching seams
as all have been closed down.
There is one mine operating in the Kemmerer Field under­
ground and a strip pit operating a thick seam of coal.

It is rather unfortunate that I have to pass this informa­
tion on to you but nevertheless I deem it advisable that you cancel
your trip into this field.
Very truly yours,
Original

Mr. V. 0. Murray, General Manager

Rock Springs, Wyoming
Dear Verne:
I want to write and express to you my appreciation
for your many kindnesses to Eddie Horne, Andy Anderson, and
myself when we were with you and assure you that our visit
there was made most pleasant by the opportunity which we had
to get around the properties and visit with you.
I would have written you earlier but upon my
return I had to go East and have just returned to my office.
I have today written to Mr. Livingston thanking
him also and I hope that on my next visit I can take advantage
of the offer for a horseback ride, assuming of course that you
have a nice quiet animal staked out that I can use.

Let me take this opportunity to wish you and your
family a very happy Holiday Season.

My kindest personal regards,

Dear Mr. Murray:

I have written a note to Mr. Hughes, and I also
want to thank you again for the opportunity afforded Mr. Everett
and myself to visit your mining operations. We both feel that
the inspection of your mine will be very profitable to us and
that we can gain a great deal by using many of the methods
which you have adopted.
I am sure you realize that if you or any of your
staff wish to visit in the anthracite region that we will be
most happy to welcome you and to allow you to visit any of
our operations that may be of interest to you.
Best wishes.

Sincerely yours,

Dear John:

This will advise receipt of your letter of
October 29th concerning Mr. Case and Mr. Lverett of
the Glen Alden Coal Company, arriving in Rock Springs
on November 11th.

Arrangements will be made for them to go
into the Stansbury Mine on November 12th. The only
fly in the ointment is that we are at the present time
experiencing some shortage of railroad cars which
makes it hard to determine whether the mines will work,
but I will make every effort to see that Stansbury Mine
is operating on that date, and they will be at liberty
to visit other properties on the 13th that are operating.
With kindest regards and best wishes.
Very truly yours,

Will this be all right with you?

I will endeavor to be in Rock Springs at the time
of their visit; however, if something should develop which makes

This will advise receipt of your letter of iSay 12th
informing us that Jir. p. ,V. Pelton and Sr. R. ii. Cross, of your

arrangements will be made with .Messrs. Hughes and

our Reliance Mine on Tuesday or ..ednesday and to see the shuttle
Ccir operation at Hanna on Thursday. .
For your information, there may be some difficulty
for these gentlemen to see the shuttle cars in operation at
ths mines on these dates due to our working time being somewhat
curtailed at the present time. During ‘the past weeks ths mines
have been working on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and I
am unable to state at this time just what days we will be work­
ing next week. In any event it will be at least two days and
I am hoping there will be a possibility of three days. Anyway,
these arrangements can be made when these gentlemen arrive.

Mr. Io No Bayless;

//

Referring to your letter of date May 11, 1948, at Rock Springs,
advising that representatives of the So Jo Groves and Sons Company of
Minneapolis, Minnesota, and their representative Mr, Mead, would call at

Rock Springs on Saturday, May 15.
We wish to make report of their visit, which consisted of a

party of seven men arriving by private plane at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 15,
the personnel arriving being as followss,
F, Mo Groves, President, So Jo Groves and Sons Company
A. Co Fletcher, Vice President, So J. Groves and Sons Company

Mr, Charles and the undersigned met the plane at the Rock Springs

airport and were advised by Mr. Fo M, Groves that their time was short and
I

they wished to visit Superior and Hanna and return to Sheridan on the evening
of the same day.

We took the men to our office and discussed the map describ­

ing the No. 1 Seam location in the vicinity of Superior D, 0, Clark Mine and

a short visit was made to this location.

The party, accompanied by Mr.

Charles, flew to Rawlins and v?as met there by Mine Superintendent Burress,
who took the men to visit the Nugget Coal Company strip operation, the strip

operation of the Monolith-Portland-Midwest Company and an inspection of the

potential strip area to the north and west of the Nugget Coal Company opera­

�- 2 We did not accompany the party on their Hanna trip for reason of over­

tion.

loading the plane and lack of enthusiasm for flying.

Our short discussion with the party left the following impressions5
1« The So Jo Groves and Sons Company have a considerable amount
of dirt moving equipment which they feel can be assigned to coal
stripping operation with a greater return or realisation than can be
derived from competitive bidding on highway and other work.

2. The personnel of Walter Bledsoe and Company, who we under­
stand are both coal brokers and mine operators, are primarily interested
in securing cheap coal to place in competition foi* marketing in the
Dakotas and Twin Cities area,,
3. The party had visited the Sheridan area on Friday and were
very much impressed by the comparative analysis of Superior, Hanna
and Sheridan coals.

4. The representatives Of ’Walter Bledsoe and Company would much
prefer to secure Hanna or Superior coal for marketing, however Hr.
Head of the S. J. Groves and Sons Company left us with the impression
that he preferred Sheridan coal and his reason is no doubt ease of
stripping as compared with other locations.
We furnished a plat of the area at Ho. 1 Seam, Superior, and did
not advise that we had relinquished the lease on same.

We also furnished

them copy of our analysis of Superior and Hanna coals.

No plats were furn­

ished of the Hanna potential strip location.

No committments of any nature

as to possibility of leasing or contract to strip or load coal for our
purposes or others was made by this office.

The inspection and discussion was very brief due to the fact that
the men arrived here at 10 a.m., left for Rawlins at ls30 p.m. without any

time out for lunch and returned to Rawlins from Hanna around 5 p.m.

The

hurried nature of the trip by the visitors would indicate to the undersigned

that they are not particularly interested.

I would suggest that they be

allowed to visit the Nugget strip, Monolith strip and Shirley Coal strip at

Dear Mr. Bayless:

Confirming our telephone conversation of March 13th, I should like
to advise you that our party would like the opportunity of visiting your
mining properties on March 21st. In addition to myself, our group will
include the following individuals:

C. L. Waggoner, Supervisor, Raw Materials
R. C. Talbott, Plant Engineer
A. J. Stemberger, Jr., Mine Industrial Engineer

As I stated in our telephone conversation, we are most interested
in visiting those mines of your company which use shaker conveyors for
production mining. Since we have a total of 33 shaker conveyors at our
mine near Price, Utah, we would also appreciate the opportunity to compare
our results with this type of equipment with that which you are experiencing
in your mining operations. We are particularly interested in the effect
that manpower is playing in the production rate over the past three to
four years.
Your interest in providing us an opportunity to visit your property
is greatly appreciated. As stated previously, we will call at your office
in Rock Springs sometime Wednesday morning, March 21st. We are planning
to drive from Geneva and will, therefore, have transportation to reach
those mines which you believe it advisable for us to visit.
Yours very truly.

Reference the letter read by Mrso Williams from
George C. Near, State Supervisor, Bureau of Apprenticeship,
written to you, May 7, 1956:
You have a copy of my letter dated March 5 to Mro
R. G. May of the AAR, and I see no reason to objection to
Mro Mukerjee 8 s coming in, and you can allow him to visit the
properties underground and on the surfaceo
No doubt, ·we will work a day or two at Superior
during his stay which would allow him to get tne information
that he needs, and you should show him the usual courtesyo
In writing to Mr. Near, I would suggest that you say
that our mines have slowed down and are working very little
at this time but we would be glad to let Mr. Mukerjee visit
our properties,making the necessary inspections and receive as
much experience as possible.

�Rock Springs - May 10, 1956

Mr. I. N. Bayless:

Todny ue telephoned the attached letter for your information ns it was thought you might 1-rish to handle this matter
because of the curtailed 1-1orking time at the mines.

Dear Mr. Murray:
I believe that through negotiations between yourself and Mr. Charles M. Carlson, it was agreed that
Nr. J:;~ukerjee from India was to receive some training at
the Union Pacific Coal Co. at Rock Springs. As Mr.
Carlson has been transferred to Pueblo, Colorado I am
writing you regarding current arrangements.
I have just received a letter from Salt Lake City,
informing me that Mr. Mukerjee will complete his training at the Geneva Steel Co. and U.S. Fuel Co. the latter
part of this month and is scheduled to arrive in Rock
Springs on Wednesday, May 23rd. I will be receiving
shortly a more detailed itinerary regarding his travel
from Salt Lake to Rock Springs, and will keep you informed of these transfers as they occur.
It might interest you to know .that :r-:rr. Mukerjee is
accompanied by his wife and that they have been very well
received and well liked by all who have assisted in the
training program.
Thank you for your cooperation in this foreign training program and feel free to write me regarding this
trainee.
Sincerely yours,

�The final acceptance of applicants for training under this
program rests with the Bureau of Apprenticeship and depends in part
on the Bureau 9 s estimate of its ability to arrange suitable training
opportmlities in industryo
Jo Types of Grants: Various types of grants are issued to
trainees accepted under the programo A very limited number of grants
{Type 11A11 ) provide the entire cost of travel and maintenance from
Uo So Government funds o The largest nmnber of grants a.uarded {Type
"C") provide partial assistance eit her to'C:l'ards travel or maintenance
expenses, the balance to be paid by the trainee himseli'» his sponsor 9
or £rom t-1ages or subsistence allow.nces paid by the industrial establishment which gives the tre.iningo
A third category (Typs "B") provides administrative assistance
only (locating training opportunities» orientation» travel and living
arrangemants), and the trainee or his private sponsor pays living and
travel expanses o In some instances» training arra....-igements can be lll!1de
much include payment of uages or subsistence al1011B.nces by industry
as a help towards defraying those e~nseso The duration of the grants
awarded under this program is from six to t welve monthso* Upon completion, it is understood that the trainees i-rill return to their respective countries and utilize the training received -to the greatest possible advantageo
4o Arranging Training Opportunities: The application of each
trainee accepted under the program is referred by the Bureau of Apprenticeship to one of its thirteen regional officess tmich include 22$
local offices trl.th over 350 field representativeso The regional supervisor assigns the case to one of the field representatives ~ho contacts
appropriate industrial establishmentso rJhen an establishment expresses
interest in taking a trainee» an understanding is reached bet~een the _
establishment, and the Bureau of Apprenticeship., covering such items as
the ld.nd of training to be given9 mges or subsistence allowances 1
length of training and other significant factors o In arranging training
schedules the main emphasis is placed upon training rather than productiono In addition to actual training,11 emphasis is also placed upon
helping the trainee make contact w.l.th various community organizations
and to participate in cultural and social activities in the community,
since this is considered equally important in gaining a true picture of
life as it exists in the United Stateso

* In soma instances» the duration may be for periods of less than six
months; e go as in the case of foreign students already in the United
States l:Iho desire short periods of supplementary training on the job.

Dear Harry:
You have been so cooperative in allowing us to take
visitors to your mines that it really embarrasses
me to have to keep asking your permission to do
this.
There is a man from India by the name of B. P.
Jain, who has asked that we make arrangements for
him to see one of your mines on the morning of
July a. · Mr. Jain is the ovmer of seven coal mines
in India, all of which are on pitching seams, and
he is v~ry anxious to see one of your operations.
My plan' would be, of course, to have one of our
men, probably P. N. Beauchamp, meet Mr. Jain at
Rock Springs and take him to the mine in time to
make the man trip in the morning. I think probably
the best mine for him to see would be Winton.

I certainly will be very grateful to you if you
can arrange this for us and for Mr. Jain and hope
it will not inconvenience your operation to do us
this fa:vor.
Yours ]very

Dear Mr. McAuliffe:
We are -indebted for your address to Mr. A. L. Toenge
Principal Coal Mining Engineer, Central Experiment
Statlor. of
the U. 54 Dept. of the Interior, ~t Pittsburgh.
We are at present in t he United States representing .the Eti Bank of Turkey, which de.als t1ith mining exploitations
and the power . supply of that country.
• •
'

Insofar as Coal Mines are concerned, we have .some
lignite mines, with seam thickness varying from 12 to 20 meters,
in synclinal or 0-15° inclined types. We intend to increase
the output of these mines, insta11 ·modern equipment therein and
apply new methods of exploitation, - and are -therefore very anxious
td vi'sit mines in this country with characteristics similar to
those of our own mines.
It has · been suggested to us that your mines would
afford us a good example of a modern mechanised installation . and
we wonder whether we might have the privilege of visiting your
mine in order to st~dy such equipment and methods of operation.
We also have another problem and would venture to
ask your assistance concerning the expl"oitation· of our thick seam
coal mine, for which w·e have already prepared a preliminary project

I

We would like to have this preliminary project
studied and -revised, if necessary, to• be completed with an investigation on the site itself.

may be able to extend to us, we..remain,

Dear Sir,
I write to thank you for the courteous
reception afforded by you to Mr. R.P. Rosser of
this Comµrny during his visit to the Collieries
of the Union Paci f ic Coal Company, Rock Springs.
Mr. Rosser ms given me an enthusiastic
report on the progressive and efficient mining
he witnessed; and I myself hope to be abl e to
travel to the U.S.A. so□etime during 1946 when I
shall be visiting certain leading Mining Machinery
Manu.£'acturers.
I would like to include Rock Springs
in r,y tour since it appears that mining grades
and seam thicknesses there are in general very
similar to those obtaining in these coalfields.

I am, Sir,
Yours faithfully,

/s/ L. J. Barraclough

Dear Mr. Bayless:
I received your telegram of October 6th and was fortunate in
getting a hotel reservation for Mr. Rosser in spite of the
fact that the city is filled with conventions and the World
Series ball game.
Mr. Rosser came into the office October 8th and the first
thing he did was ask that we send, \vb.en writing you ;, his
sincere thanks for your hospitality and trouble in showing
him about the mines.
He intends to send his own letter of
thanks on return to India.
We greatly appreciate the courtesy as N~. Rosser is connected
with the coal mines of Andrew Yule &amp; Co. of India and until
the outbreak of war, had nothing but Goodman coal cutting
machines in their mines, and it is my belief that they had
probably over 60 of these in use.
They are accordingly, a
very valuable and loyal cliant.
Mr. Rosser expressed to me that the conditions he saw at
Rock Springs were very similar to those in India and he has
outlined a mining system for using Duckbills which will be
set up for their mines.
With very kindest regards.
Yours very truly
