Dear l.Ii-. rhAulif'fe:
Mr. Pryde has come to Oheyoone to-dny and we have eone over tho

bills· which llr. Taliaferro has prepared with reference to the compensation

law.

Copy of m:y letter to Mr. Lazear ooicb is enclosod harem.th gill in-

dicate tbo action 1:1e have token.

In addition thereto go have furnished

copies of llr.. Taliaferro• e letter t~ ne explainin&amp; th e bills and copios
ot the bills themsolvos to IJr. Uullen and Mr. O'Leary .

It oeoms to Ile

that Ur. Taliaferro has fully and carefully covered the instructions ghich
you gave him, and I have no suggestions to make except to suggest the

possibility that the amendoent to Section 124-120 R. S. 1931, as amen~ed
by Chapter 129 Session Laws of 'i'lyoming, 1933, occurring in the laat para-

graph of sub-section (a) thereof, may not be entirely clear.

I have not,

ho't18ver, at .. emp-ted to make any cbange in thie a:iended provision. thinking

that it will be better to take this up in connection with other po.esible
amendments to be discuaeod with the Senate Committee to \7hich the bills
are referred.

I will Gdvise you when tho matter is .eat tor hearing betore

tne Senate Committee.
Very truly rours,

cc - Ur. T..
