Dear Sir:
Replying to your ~

-]._~ of the 27th ultimo:

-

month is assigned as the "Estimated Cost of ?terchandise Sold" on

'--- --- --------------

-----

Form 23, and that this estimate is subject to adjustment when
inventory is taken. This appears to have been the practice of
the Store for some time; and in making such adjustment to conform to the June 30th inventory Form 23 for that month absorbs

the under-estimates applicable to the five previous months, or
a total of some $900. 00.
In other words the merchandise sold. irl the last six months
amounting to $39620.72 is estimated to have cost only five-sixths
of that sum, but an inventory develops that the estimate for the
period was about $900.00 too small, which is taken care of by
adjusting in June accounts. Every article sold at the Tono Store
carries a margin compatible with market fluctuations and of competition.
,.
.~
If our understand'is incorrect, we would be glad to have

Balance Sheet - Washington Union Coal co.

//7 u:t'7C&lt;1 1/~ ~-k-~

u ..e~

:Mr. F. :P. Briscoe,
Auditor, Washington Union Coal Co.,
Cheyenne, Uyo .

No . 5-38

Dear Sir:
Please furnish us a · detail ed stat ement of the balanc e in
" Hot es Receivable Account" •as s hown by balance sheet of \'-iashington
Union Coal Co., novemb e'r 30, 1914,- ~67,031.65.
The statement should show, regarding each note, date,
by whom issued, for what issue d , time, rate of interest, and amount;
also the date up to which the interest has been paid.
It is noted from your· report covering examinat ion of
Treasury· Department's accounts, l~ovember 10_, 1914, regarding ~63,000
worth of notes given by iJaba sh Lumber &amp; Shingle
Co. covering def erred
.
.
payments ·on purchase price of timber on land belonging to the Washington Union Coal Co., that if any of the notes or accrued interest
thereon are not paid for a pe·riod of 90 days after due, the Coal Co.
may declare the agreement forfeited and cancelled.
It is presumed the contr~ct protects the Coal Co. by a
provision restricting the cutting and removal of timber until certain
payments have been made.

stated differently, is it pos s ible for the

Lumber Co. to remove all the timber covered by the contract from the
land before payment therefor has been made?
Yours truly,
/

Omaha - November 17, 1931

Mro Eu.gene _McAuliffe,

Mr. Angelo Grel~i. age 33, Coal Miner. Rock Springs. Wyoming,
in service 1 year, was examined at my office November 11

0

19310

He

gave me the following h~story:
He had an operation for appendicitis two years a go in Italy.
His present complaint is continuous pain in back except when quieto
He alleges that this pain is due to an accident that he received on
May 41&gt; 1931, while working as timberman in Rock Springs Coal Mine Noo8.
He was struck ·on the shoulder by a rock 1·rom the roof.

He was taken

to The Wyoming General Hospital where he was treated by Dr. Arbograst
for one month.
Examination of chest and spine by x-ray shO'Ned the following:
"Chest: Some enlargement of peri bronchial glands. Some
infiltration toward the bases more markea right side with
some extending toward the apices. Apices clear. No. ToBo
"Entire Spine: Cervical spine: negativeo Dorsal spine lies
diagonally from above downward to the left with slight curvature ·to , the right in the upper dorsal, and to the left in
the middle dorsal and to the right again in the lower dorsalo
Lumbar spine shows a marked curvature to the left with deformity of all the bodies. No x-ray evidence of tuberculous
destruction of the vertebral bodies. Slight lipping of the
lower dorsal arul all the lumbar vert ebrao"
His urinalysis was as follows:
"Clear, amber, Sp.Gv. l'.ll9, acid, no albumen, no sugar.
Microscopical negative."
Examination of his blood was as follows:

Mr. Angelo Grelli is suffering from a

Rotatory Lateral Curvature of the spine together with an Arthritis
of the Lower Dorsal and all the Lumbar Vertebrae.

There was no

evidence of Tuberculosis of lungs or spine.
In my opinion, it is possible tha t an injury to his back
has probably aggravated an old arthritis of his spine which predated
his injury.

Dear Sir,
I inclose you a letter t hat I have written Mr. Vi . A. Mui r .
This may seem a small t hing , but the reason t axe s a r e so high is
because we have not watch ed small t hing s, whi ch t h rough t he years
have developed intu large t hing s. The con t ingent expen s e s of
County Orficers and State Or f i cers have soa red sin ce 1 91 2 . ¼e ar e
paying monthl y salaries to Constabl e s, wh o have n ever done one l ick
of' work in consideration of their s al a r i as. 'I'he Cor oner' s 01 1 i ce is
a needless expense, and the work coul d be a s Pel l and bett er per f ormed by J~stices of the Peac e .
If the custom should be t hat County and Prosecuting Attor neys
can be paid. out of publ ic i'unds for maki ng i nv e stigations, in compensation ca ses, they woulQ be ~aking t heir s ea sona ul e va ca·tion s
from tn e At l an tic to the Paci f ic, inspired ~::::::-:;,,:=, , in the hope to
establish mer itorious cl aims f or- comp ensation, Ht he curtailment oi
public expens e s sh oulQ not be consictered~1
But little consia.eration is nov1 exercised because the
expens es 01· investigation s are saddled onto t h e employer , and what
public o1'1'icer cares as long as a coal company or an oil company is
chargeable with the expens e s·:'
In a recent case, the County and Prosecuting Attor ney of this
County brought an osteol?ath to Green River, and he vrn. s allowed
expert witness fees oi· $10.00 a day, and his mileage. 'l'his was done
while I was a way in Denver, but it seems to make no ciii'ference to .
public oi'i'icials what the expenses are as long as they are chargeable
to private enterprise. The dii'ficulty is not i 'undarnentally that
pubJ.ic of ficers do _not care. I run not charging that. But, the
public oi'i'icer is generally nothing more than a man· in the- street,
anu he a.oes not recognize or know t11e awful struggle that the
business man has to ma.Ke in order to meet his payroll, and to .keep
the wheels of industry turning. The man in the street, who is out
oi" a job, sympathizes with himself, -but put him to v10rk tomorrow,
he would not speed up his own motions, or his own activity a hair's
breadth because in so doing, he could help his employer. It is but
the old ciassic saying that:
HT.he hog never loo.ks up to him who thrashes a.ov,rn the acorns 11 •

D0nr Sir,
I:n re alleged in;jury of JU.bert Ko p1•01,;ski.

The above is a case that needs some e:ir.pL.illa t ion, &amp;nu I think
it might be w0ll that· our Omaha officia ls shoul d be made f amili ar
....-,d. t h tlle facts.
The ·,hn•kma 1 v,-::i.s undou·bc·e1.Uy_ suffering from l umbago and

arthritis, which caused pa:J.n in h:i.s back.

Ile v-1ent to Doctor Arboga s t

on the 4th of Febi•uar~-, 1931 i'ol' treatment, but said nothing to

Doctor Arbogast a bout being injured in the wine.

On Che 15th or 16th

of February, ArbogHst dh;chai·get1 him as convalescer1t. This iw.s done
at the rec1uost of t_1e \"JOrkhlan, ~h3 1,0:i.·lt.~an cl,.dming t hnt h e u.esired to
go to rmrl\'. i n an automobile 1•epair shop.

Th0 po:rtion of the mine whore the workman v1a s employed v.ti:1s
shut down Oli the Gth of F-abr1...cu:y, 1931, and the r;orkma11 i nfo1•med that
there \:Jas no further viork in the mine for him at pre8ent.

Still suffering from arthri,cis., the v;orkma.J1 i,ent t o an
ost~opath (i:;. B. Sturges)., v,ho claim~d au. injury to his hip belor; the
poirLt that Doctor Arbogast found affected with lurubagov The osteopath
o. Jl)Oa~s to huve bui~nC:ld him severely vii th an electric appliance, and to
hnvo gotten from him, ·as fees, all of his money.

It seems that he then went -to the Vcterans 1 Hospital at Denver

(fi tzsimons), having been ae1nt tuere by the American Logion, he bejJ1g

Doctor Lauzer reported that he had his cnck fractured at or
about t!-ie t\"-:elfth tlorstl vez-·t~br:'J-; ~.nd took

~0V (!:'.'r-..1

X-ray pictures

of the -r;orkman.

The osteopath, Sturges, claimed he hnd some injury to his thigh,
or his spine, below the place of .fracture, as repo;etoc. lJy l"locto1• Lauzar.
The result wao that Doctor Arbogast hatl X-ray pictuTes talren
at the \-yoming General Hospital at Rock Sp:-ings, and could discover no

1n3ury or fracture nhetsoever.

Dur~ing this time., tl·w 110:d.rnum had tQlked to one Dan Pallie,

·t' lnt he had a cracked bone :in his back)) v,hich it uppears caused the
no.i..k12an to consult Doctor r..auzer.

Th,e dispute betwaen Doctor 1lrbogast 9 r,·ho could. find .no injuxy,
the osteop~th, ';;ho found a hip brokan., nnd Doctor Lau.zer, who found

a spine fi•l!.ctl..!re, and so@e chips of Sl.:drie bones · flouting around in the
r; rkman 1 s nnatomy., crGatod a controversy, uhich caused Mr~ W.. Ao Muir.,

t ho -Com::i.ty a.no.. P1~osecuting Attorney, without notice, or consultation
\;i·c.;h the company, or v,ith the v;ritcr, to bri~ a suit for the "i;:;-orkman
i the District Court, arlu. 'i..o llavG a 1-,artial hearing when the ·wri te:r

Doctor Lauzer stE.tea. that th 8 .iuj-ury to the v7orkman i'.ra s equiv~lent to
one half of permanent total disability, -r1hicb. v., ould involve some

In ordt::t i,o J.·0concil0 this dispute ·oetr:een the doctors, I paid

'l:hGre ar0 many reason -~hy this case must bJcontested to its very
linit,; among the chi~.f reasons is that a p1·ecedent l.-1ill be set i.f the
c, ployer lays dom., introducing into our comp0.ns;:;.tion systsm ..'as11onsibi.lity
on our ~a1·t for t disev.sesn, r:hich may be aggi•avated or rvfired upn, as the

You -:nill apprcci.:i.te how far this r;oµld go if the •:-1orkman, 1n
dul l ti.!Jles., such u;: r:e are now h2ving, shol;lld be t:illowea to claim that
every ill that the body has is the result of some lnjuryo
•
This al so would mnke a fair field for osteopaths, and chiropractors,.
and other quack peddle:!.9s., to oper~te in.

I received this mor-nin_g an order from the Jud:;e of the District
Court, requiring the surgooDs of tho Fit~si.mons Hos:,itn.l to ste.te in a
deposi t1on what they found to be the mr.tter ,"ii th th0 workman, after which
I will take the depositions of the flve doctors in Salt Lt1ke City, going
both to Denver and to Salt Lake City for this purposeo

�/

It is true tho witness fees for t hese doctors, end the expenses

of t ~Jting these dor, o~iti.onsp tog ether with ex p ensG s already paid by r.ae,

n111· nmount to several hundred dollar s, but it is one of these cases

t hat must be cleRncd up, or urller.; s it i s cleaned up, will g!'01.1 into a

That this case should be defo.ncled to i ts full conclusion, is
'i;o t he :intfJrest of ever y et1ploy0r of labor in the St s t0 of Wyomi ngo

Mr. G. 13. Pryde:

Herewith copy of letter from Mr. Charles Congleton,
Secretary, Local Union 2616, Superior.
Will you please give me a full report on this case.

�Ul.TI:TED MINE WOIUCERS OF AMERICA

Local Union No.

2616
Superior, Wyoming, May 14th, 1931.

Mr. Eugene McAuliffe,
President,Union Pacific Coal Co.,
Omaha.

Dear Mr. McAuliffe:
I am writing to you for advicm on a disputed compensation claim of one of our members. Brother Louis Tamboni was
injured, ruptured, dropping a railroad car on or under :B mine tipple,
September 5th, 1930. :By advice of the doctor, after securing a truss, he
continued to work until Febr. 22nd, 1931, when it became necessary for
him to go through an operation. He lost two months work through the
operation. \'ihen the employees report of the accident went in, which
was when he went to the hospital, he °\'7aS told the five months limitation
had expired, and therefore, void. As Secretary of the local I fill out
the majority of claims for the members, but would not think of sending in
a report of injury where no time is being lost. I suspect this is my
fault not reporting or sending in the yellow sheet 9 when the accident
happened.

However, the man did not know and the doctor was not
sure whether an operation would be necessary or not. Tamboni•s condition t1as known to the outside foreman, Mr. Ward, and to · ·t he Mine
Superintendent, Mr. G. A. :Broun, from the time it happened until he
came be.ck from the hospital.
Please answer at your earliest conv:enience, With
kind personal regards and best 'l'lishes.
Respectfully yours,
(Sgd) CHAS. CONGLETON

Mr. Eugene McAuliffe,

,&lt;

-i-::~~·~-- y•

Mr. Angelo Grel~i. age 33, Coal Miner. Rock Springs. Wyoming,
in service 1 year. was examined at my office November 11, 1931.

He

gave me the following history:
He had an operation for appendicitis two years ago in Italy.
His present complaint is continuous pain in back except when quiet.
He alleges tha-t this pain is due to an accident . that he received on
May 4 9 1931, while working as timberman in Rock Springs Coal Mine Noo8o
He was struck ·on the shoulder by a rock from the roof.

He was taken

to The Wyoming General Hospital where he was treated by Dr. Arbograst
for one month.
Examination of chest and spine by x-ray showed the following:
"Chest: Some enlargement of peri bronchial glands~ Some
infiltration toward the bases more marked right side with
some extending toward the apices. Apices clear. No. T.B.
"Entire Spine: Cervical spinG negative. Dorsal spine lies
diagonally from above downward to the left with slight curvature ·to , the right in the upper dorsal, and to the left in
the middle dorsal and to the right again in the lower dorsal.
Lumbar spine shows a marked curvature to the left with deformity of all the bodies. No x-ray evidence of tuberculous
destruction of the vertebral bodies. Slight lipping of the
lower dorsal and all the lumbar vertebra."
His urinalysis was as follows:
"Clear, amber, Sp. Gv. 1·) 19, aoid, no albumen, no sugar.
Microscopical negative."
,
Examination of his blood was as follows:

-

___ _,

--.....;._

�"Reds 4,560 00()
Whites 6,90()
Hemoglobin 90%
Polymorphonuclear neutrophilic 62%
"
eosinophilic 1%
"
basophilic
0%
Mononuclears Large 4%
Lymphocytes 33%
9

Conclusions:

Mr. Angelo Grelli is suffering from a

Rotatory Lateral Curvature of the spine together with an Arthritis
of the Lower Dorsal and all the Lumbar Vertebraeo

There was no

evidence of Tuberculosis of lungs or spine.
In my opinion, it is possible that an injury to his back
has probably aggravated an old arthritis of his spine which predated
his injury.

Regarding the settlement with Mr. Petrovich, Judge Lacey
writes under date of the 13th that he approves the plan suggested
in my letter of the 12th, copy of which was given Mr. Taliaferro,
that the matter be tal-cen up with Judge Tidball.

I suggestedi that

the better way would be to make two payments, one for the a.mount
due under t..h.e compensation act, the other for the $750 cash gratuity 1 plus accrued rental, fuel, iivater, etc., furnished, a receipted bill for the rental, fuel, water, etc., to be given with
$750 in cash, in settlement of the second voucher.

,

Of course, Judge Tidball has no authority to pass on our

gratuity, but Judge Lacey states that he approves of informing
him in connection with the request for cash settlement of the
amount due under the act.

OFFICE OF

Attorney

IN REPLY PLEASE REFER TO
NO,

Mr. H.J. Harrington
Rock Springs, Wyoming
Dear Sir:
In reference to the voucher of $750.00 authorized
to be paid to John Petrovich as a gratuity:
Mr. McAuli ffe understands the circumstances under
which this voucher is autho r ized. It seems to me the
situation is a delicate one and t hat a general release
might or might not be deemed advisable.
We are to stipulate $750.00 by way of compensation
is to be awarded, and we believe that that award is all that
the workman is entitled to under the law, yet it is proposed
to give him $750.00 more, and not to continue him in our
employ.
A situation of this sort to my mind should be
carefully considered lest at some future time our own
act in the premises may be construed as recognizing a
condition bordering upon permanent total disability.
Of course I disclaim any such thought. Still, it seems
to r.ie that it would be wise to have Mr. McAuliffe consider
the situation and to decide the language to be employed in
draVIing the voucher, and whether or not some form of
contract in the shape of a "general release" might be
deemed advisable .
