The coal

~-,hich 'Ne. s cut and lying loo s e lay there to the credit of Williruns.
In order to a void in t h e future the giving of labor credits
to a man v1ho has not performed the labor to the final fulfillment of the
ag reement, I believe it 1·.rill be best for the Foreman to place to the
crecli t of the extra machine runner the lo a ding of a certain number of
hand loaders or loading rn,3.chines.

This, then, v1ill accrue directly to

the extra man in his labor credits shown on the pay roll and v1ill constitute as near an approach as it is possible for us to accomplish in
indicating on the pay rolls an exact status of the earning s of the individua ls concerned.

Ur. George. B. Pryde,
Referring further to the compensation case of
Waino Williams, Machine Runn er No 4 Mine, will advise tha~ we find
that :i-5 i n in g Machine operate~bJr Williams, an d White, worked on Feby
7th, 9 t h, and 10th.
I questio:!'l ed White, Williams partner, and he states that the only
men t hat work ed wi t h hi m durin g t h e time that Williams was idle
on accoun t of hi s injury, were Purta, and Luota, and that \'!illiams
mu s t h a ve worJced on February 7th, 9th, and 10th.
Our Electric Lamp record shows that lamp was issued to Viilliams
on I1'ebrua.ry 7th, 9th, and 10th.
I queotioned v· 1111a□ s, and the ·only explanation he can offer, for
claiming co~pensation on February 7th, 9th, and 10th, is that he
thought the mine worked six days instead of eight, Feby lat, to 15th.
I would not care to sa;v that 'W illiams mane a claim for compensation
that be knew was not due him, but I do think that he should have
known the number of days he was idle account of his injury.
There is no question but that Williams worked on February 7th, 9th,
and 10th, and that he is not entitled to compensation for those
datea.

�Hanna, Wyo. Bay 5th, 192B.

Mr. Geor g e. B. Pryde,
Re plying to your letter of the 4th, inst, tith
further reference to the case of Waino Williama, machine runner in
--=-:o,

No 4 mine, vl'ill advise that Willie.ms made no other statement than
that given in my letter as to why he claimed compensation for the
dates he work ed.
Williams word wa s tak en for the - n u mber of day s compensation he claimed,
and no che c k was made o? the p a,

roll to prove or disprove his claim .

It has not been the usual practice here to check the Doctors final
report a gainst the pay roll to find out number of days injured person
was oft' work. Williams case is an unusual one, and the first to come
:,... .~

-

up where there would be a n y g rounds for questioning a mans word,
therefore ~o chec~ was made. In future oasee close check will be
made of Doctors final report and pay roll and lamp record.
If Williams is prosecuted, and found guilty of obtaining money under
false pretenses, or of perjury, or ot' both, he has no one to blame
but himself, and will have to stand the consequences.
It will probably be a good lesson to him and others, if he is, as
there is no question but that the co~penaation law is badly abused
at all the camps.

GENERAL MANAGER

Omaha - May 18, 1925
Mr. G. B. Pryde:
Yours of May 15th vr.i. th additional papers on the compensation

,,,, __
·,

I

allowed \ifaino Williams, Hanna. No. 4 Mine

0

I cannot agree that Mr. Williams was responsible for any of
the various developments which were occasioned by his layoff after his
accident.

I have the very definite feeling that the responsibility

rests vrith Superintendent Butler and I vr.i.ll be frank in saying that
it would never occur to me ' to ask for legal advice as to the desirability
of prosecuting "'fillia.mso
As I have stated repeatedly to our entire staff, including
the superintendents, the men in charge are either leaders or incapable
of leadership, and I in no way blame Williams for asking the foreman for
authority to employ a substitute, paying him direct the time that he should
have received from the company, same to be credited to 1'villia.ms on the
payroll.

The offense was in allovring the arrangement to be made.
The mechanical method vrith which your Hanna office ground

out affidavits for the signature of the foreman, Williams, and those
that assisted him, when the mine office and mine records should have
clearly shown that Williams worked on the 7th, 9th and 10th, is a fair
example of the loose methods obtaining.
Lately, I am given to wondering just what a comprehensive
study of the situation of the different mines would develop, if suoh
were made, the 1'1inton weight steal, the Williams matter, and the overpayment at Hanna, suggesting possibility of man;y irregularities, if the
faots were knov,.

In substance, I think what you will have to do, is to

�)

tighten up ver:y definitely on your mine supervision, giving the
superintendents to unqerstand that they must know more about what is
going on in the matters of weights, pay rolls. instructions issued
by foreman, etco

Geoo

Bo Pryde:

Referring to Joseph 1':TcTee, Sro ~· who was injured in Rock
Springs Noo4 Mine on March 5 9 1931 9 by striking himself on
the right hand with an axe, cau sing contusion 9 laceration and
fracture of the 4th finger of the ri ght hando
On .Tune 10th, Dro Arboga st disch arged Mr o l icTee as recovered and stated that his permanent p a rtial disability due to
and result
of accidental injury above mentioned was equal to
,
the loss of the distal joint of the ri ght 4th fingero

The period of disability due to this injury, four months
and th:¢ee days, appears to be somewhat excessiveo

I bad on

two or, three different occasions called Dr. Arbogast regarding
I

McTee's condition and v1as advised by the doctor that he was
not as yet recoveredo

Mro Murray took exception to the time

lost aycount of this injury and instructed me that we should
dispute the claim, as to temporary total disability.
On .Tuly 30, 1931, I vrrote Dr. Arbogast as follows:
"We are in receipt of your final report of personal injury, Form 151, wherein you state that the
period of disability due to the above injury extended
from the 6th day of March, 1931, to the 10th day of
.Tuly, 19 31.
"We feel that this period of disability - 4 months
and three days - is excessive for an injury of this
character and we are wondering if Mr. McTee has been
carried for a longer period than was actually necessary. iJ/e are aware that the infection would no
doubt extend the period of disability, but our Safety
Engineer, llr. Murray, is of the opinion that the
amount of time lost account of an injury of this
character is unusual."

�-2-

vre received the followin g reply from him on .Tuly 319
1931:
11-r have your inquiry the tenor of which seems
to question the length of time I gave .Toe McTee
temporary total disability because of the injury
he received lla.rol5pl93lo You -will notice ' from
your primary report that he received a contusion 9
laceration and fracture of the fourth fi nger of
his right hand, which means &amp; comp ound fracturel)
c,lready infected, as are all acci dental wounds,
and this means where bone is involved that the
length of time that a total disability may _be incurred may be all the way from three to four months 9
until the limb is amputated depending larg ely upon
the kind or type of infection and the resistance
of the mano In the case of Illro McTeel) the infection
Vias considerable and drained about 10 -weeks, after
v,hich time it healed up but only temporarily to reopen and drain because of a rekindling of the infectiono Then after draining some three or four weeks,
reheale d and after a few days he developed pain which
existed almost to the time I made my final reporto
The resulting pain in the latter part of his trouble
was caused by _a pressure due to a partial ldndling
up again of the infection as well as a congestion
which is an atterr..g;)t on the part of nature to bring
ab out a final healing in the Osteogenet ic process
of regeneration. I did not make final report for
Mr. McTee until I could be reasonably sure that there
would be no recurrence of the infectiono

11

1 am sorry that you and your safety engineer
:(ee.l that Mr. McTee has been extended more leniency
in tenworary total disability than is usual to
·give. I feel sure that of course you are neither
prompted by ulterior motives, but that your conclusion is accounted for by a complete lack of
knowledge of pathology which unfortunately laymen
in your position are without. I feel sure that if
you and Ur. Murray could be possessed of the necessary lmowledge of pathology to understand these things
you would feel entirely in ace ord with the length of
disability in this case.~
Vlhen Mr. Murray instructed me to dispute: the claim, I called
llr. McTee into the office and informed him regarding the stand
we took in the matter and asked him as to his feeling in regard

�to insisting on bein g paid for the full time of disability.
He advised me that it was his intention to claim compensation for the period indicated in the doctor's final reporto
I assisted him in preparing an Employee's Report and Claim,
which ·was filed by him with the Clerk of the District Courto
I would like your opinion as to what should be done in
the matter of settlement of this claimo

Dear Sir:

I am sending you a copy of the letter that I have
written to Mr. McAuliffe. •Please understand that I do. not
in any way question Mr. McAuliffe's action in accepting
Galicich's thought in the matter.
Still, I think that I owe myself a duty, and that duty
is to make my position plain. Mr. Harrington will say that we
have never consented to· deviate in the least by stipulation
from the plain expression of the statute.
If Mr. Galicich can say that one tenth of the sight
of an eye is the equivalent to the loss of an eye, Mr. •Muir can
say that one fifteenth is the equivalent to the loss, and Mr.
Brown can say that one twentieth is the equivalent to the loss.
The result of all of which is that you have an elastic
system which will expand or contract, in accordance with how the
Court, lawyers and jurors feel about it.

1416 Dodge Street
Omaha, rlebra ska
Dear GiJ•,

I received this morni116 a copy of the l ett".r add1: " 3sea. 'by you
to hlr . P:ryde, dated September 30 th, in re the cas e of Mike Pavich.
Of course 1 the letter is a comman to l:lr. Pryde to instruct
Iir . H~r:cing·co:n to stipulate for the awarv., Et:-. Galicich c:.nd the
conir.muity knoning that the ar:ar d ·i •s in the na t 1.1
. re of c. settlement,
outside of all legal questions involved .
~ver since the compensation..~ m.mt into effect, this o.ffice
has never consented that 11 permanet.'t~cu.sability" should be a matter
of a.p :i;io1"'tionmeut . t he sta1ute sp e cirically requires that all awarcis
for injuries greater than the schedule fixed for the loss of an
eye, a l •::.g, &amp;n a:cm, or a foot, shall be based upon those schedules .,
and none other. Ever since 1915, \ihen the -l aw ·\'J ent into effect,
and t..rirough fu1 unbroken line of jud.icial decisions, no such inju:cy
has ever been c.dr1itted as "partial total disabilityn . .All perl!l&amp;nent injuries have heretofore been -classif ied as nperl)lanent total
disabilities" or "permenent partial disabil:Lties 11 •

This is not true in many of the other stat ~s, but one must
reme1Uber that the \,hole ·s ystem of the Wyoming lav1 is basad upon a
different foundation than other . systen;s. And this is the reason
that the Vlyoming law pays to the unskilled injured wo:::-kman, who has
worked only intermittently, like coal miners, sometimes only t \'Jo days
in the vieek, the greatest aviards at the least expense to the employers.
Your letter changes fifteen continuous years of construction,
a.no. holds that one ,'jho has practically 10% of the sight of an eye,
that was injured while in the employ of The Union Pacific Coal Com-

pany. is to 'be considered, 'because of disease destroying thG. sight
in the other eye, "permanently totally ctisabled".

During the last fifteen years, the American Medic~l Associatior~
has been driven from pillar to post upon the same subject. At one
time 1 t a.a.opted an expression "industrial blindness'' , Vihich of course
did not adapt itself to any tangible theory, e.s 2. r orkman might, ba
Ttinciustrially blind 11 in the repairing of Geneva watches, ana no-c
"ind.ustr·ially blind" in sawing cord uood. This . enabled Compens r-:tio:1
Commissions not only to play "battledore a.116. shuttl1::cock" wita
I

�industrial enterprises, but politics with the workmen., their tlamilies,
their friends, and their unions.
So we find in Colorado, that workmen who retained 20%, and who
had lost 80% of t heir vi. c•ion ,ii h~ve been declared by commissions, and
courts, to be "industrially blind". The American Medical Association,
a t i t s. m,?. eti :ng e t Atlant i c City, in 1925., di s allov:.red blindness if 1%

of vision was retained.

So that, Pavich does not come within the more

moder n r ul e ad.op ted by the Alileric0l"1 t ur geons 1 nor r,i t hin the rule t hat

has been in vogue in the courts of Southern Wyoming for the past fifteen
y sa:cs.
1

But the a.bov,~ is a sm&amp;ll I:oiri t i n tr1 e ca ~e .

Tllo T'yoming sta tut e make s :2.ll a1:: ard s II judicial determination£"
bet,,e en the employer, the employee, e.nd the compensation fund. The
anoun·~ :~aia to P0.vich may not be s o nn t erial. . The vm.y it is computed
is very m~ terial, and in directing Mr. Pryde to carry out at·torney
Gc:.li ci cl.1. ' s co:mim t ,::i. t i on, SGts a pr e c edeut , ,.rhich to my mind is untsnabl s,
a s i t i s i llogi cal . .An excerpt from the statute reads as follows:
nrn.1.er a t here h as been z. ? revious disability, as the loss of
on &amp; eya, ,J1~ t l1e sigh t the reof.., one h aud, oue foot, or any

othe:r pr evious p ermensnt dis~e.bility, the p,3 rcentage of disa t i lit;,;, for a suos0qu3!!t i n j ury shtJ.l b.e dsts1~u11ned by dec-11ct i n g t herefr,'.)m the Je~cen tc.g $ of the· pr evious disability,
as it . ex isted at the time of the s1.f bscquent inju-r~y ~n

Time and space will not allow me to discu ss the legal ·construc.tion
of thG wo1~ds . "PREVIOUS D!SABIEITY".

Ii' :fr. Galicich is satisfied that one 1.n:hose eye has · been affected
by cat,_~:c act;, out~.dus oi' any kn.o~m injury, either i!i nile 1n the employ o:f

The Union ? a cific Coal Company, or any other industry, comes w·l thiu the
t ern nprevious disabilityr1, I 1.ould ce1·tainly neither affirm nor de:ay.

In the P.avicili ·case, while in the eciployaent of' The union Pacific

Coal Company, the partial loss of the _sight of one eye is the extent of
what the sta.·tut·s calls 1Tinjur y in the course of employinent;n.
0

Whether Pavich had lost all v.:;.siou in the iu.jurad ey•'e; any
deduction could be made .for the eye destroyed through years and years of
disease, is a question that I desir r:3d, in .connection with o·ther mat·t;ers,
to take up wlth my superiors in the legal profession.

But, uhatever migbt be the construction of the statute in relation

to the t •1;0 p:ropositi ons above discussed., the statute itself needs

careful analysis and consideration, and I can never accept as being
"judicial" the view that Galici.c h takes of it, which view appar ently
appeals to you.

Reau the excerpt from the statute given above, and then consider
Mr. Galicich's aue.1 3 sir:..

Quoting from Mr . Gallcich' s letter:

precedent, seems to w.e a ·wrong policy.

Not many days ago, in a sowewhat s.imilar case, I told court and

might stipulate \:1i ·i;h flavich that b.e had lost 99;,'b of the sight of the
eye injured while in the employ oi' the Union Pacific Coal C0.11~J&amp;.11y,
and that there would be no deduction made on acc.o unt of "temporary

ti1e deduction. of' Htem_pora~y total ar,;urds" is to my mind ¼uestionable.
But, ::lUch d~o.uc·i ;ion is .aot, involved, if tll~ 1.uatte1.• \';,~re ·;;o u:..=i c.:&gt;:n-

sidered fro~ my viev.point.
I sneak about a precedent bei11g s-et---eye cases are very
numerous;- spx·ains a1•e vel'Y umae.::eous. If the law 1s uh.i.wsically ~pplied

�it can be made a g:i:&gt;a.ft., s ~co11d 011ly to the Volstead. Act.

The amount of the award in the Pa.vich case is of little moment.,
an.cl I had figured. it &lt;mt to be even n.ore than the figures submitted by
li:'a t¼alicich.
I could ilot br:lng myself, ho-:7ever, to a ccep t lli."' .

Gc:,licich's theory, though it seems that he claims, at my hands., a

prGcedGn G tuerefo1
I:f the!'e eve1~ wa s such a pr eceden t., and. I approv€:ld
it., it was unr:i ttingly done.

But; it mrures much ctlfference--c,s I view it--i.f after careful
anslysis m,.-5. consic.era tion of the law., I should pass up to the cou:rt a
st,ipula.tion, knowing the same to Le illogical, u1T11orlcable, and. not
rei'lecting th~ lav1 .
Pavich, :l..n purvie-?.' of ;.,he '•.7yomin~ l a ~:, is not totaJ.ly Dliud.
P~-vich' s previous disability i.m s not the result of an injur·y, ci..lld to
ny llind. the \~yoming statute, when re·f erring to previous disabilities,
do~s not include lii11du.stric.J. d:1.seasesn. If -.;; 0 should so co1:-ist:cue the

situr~tion t hat :Ls troubling compensation commissions,., and the courts in

ih e Wyomi11g Sta.tute bases no injury upon the sum of money fixed

for npermanent total disability 11 , but o~ the contrary especiallY: states

T:J.l'! Supr emG Court of Wyomi:ng i1us .rmt y .e t s ai r: thc_t "temporsry

In couside1•ation of the above 1 and in view of the fact that
Pavich did net receive an iujur·y chile in th G employ of the coal company,
destroying more than 91 .. 8% or or,te eye., I am of the opinicn tha.t in law

I appreciate the fact that, according to the doctor's
report, this man retains 802% of the vision of his lef·i;
eye, ~Dut ba.se our claim that Pavich is permanently totally
disabled on our Sup:rem.e Court I s hold.i.ng in the Sakamoto

vs. Kemm.crer Coal Co. case 11 3G t ~oo 325~ uhich is to the
effect; that a workman is entitled ·l;o Permanent total dis~bili ty compensation ~hen it appears that he will never be
able to \70rk at any gainful occupa t;i on, e.v en though he has

not totally lost those mefilbers for the loss of \~~ioh he io

��Rock Springs, \'/yo.,
Dec. 11,1930.

N~. Geo. B. Pryde:
Tiith reference to the Joe Decora compensation case.
Hrs. Decora told me a short time ago that Er. Decora
would not approve the stipulation which we submitted for
his signature for an a mount of 02,000 .00 , based on l 1-3
of the amount provided for the loss of the leg above the
knee.

She stated that inas much as the COI!lp any had refused

to allO\'! L:Z. . Decora to continue in t he se rvice she was of
the opinion that his disab ility was tot al i nst ead of partia l.
Dr. Arbogast informs me t hat Mrs. Decora had also

talked ov er the matter with h i m a nd s he intimat ed to t he
doctor t h at

:r. Euir,Count y Attorne y , had informed her she

probably could r e cov er co n side r abl y mor e than t he i'. 2,000. 00
for ".":hich ,.._.e off ered to stipule.te t1ith her husb i,.nd.
Think it Y!Ould be ,:;ell if ,·.,e 1:m uld a.1101.7 the matter
to rest as it is until t h e workman takes sorae further action
in t he matter.

and I think that we should :follow the advice of the three doctors
