Dear h!Ir. ~Aulif fe: Mr. Pryde has come to Cheyenne to-day and we have gone over the bills \'lhich 1Ir. Taliaferro has prepared with reference to the compensation law. Copy of my letter to Mr. Lazear which is enclosed herewith ~ill in- dicate the action we have taken. In addition t hereto \'le have furnished copies of Mr .. Taliaferro' s letter to me explaining the bills and copies of the bills themselves to Ur. Llullen and Mr. O'Leary. lt seems i;o 111e that Mr. 'l'aliaferro has fully and carefully covered the instructions which you gave him, and I have no suggestions to make except to suggest the possibility that the amendment to Section 124-120 R. S. 1931, as amended by Chapter 129 Session La\'1s of Uyomine, 19 33, occurring in the last paragraph of sub-section {a) thereof, may not be entirely clear. I have not, however, at ~empted to make any change in this e1:1ended provision, thinking that it will be better to take this up in connection with other possible amendments to be discussed with the Senate Committee to which the bills are referred. I V1ill advise you when the matter is set for hearing before the Senate Committee. Very truly yours, JUL-T cc - Mr. T. S. Taliaferro, Jr. �COPY / / Cheyenne, Wyoming, Jan. 16, 1935 . .Jr. Edward To Lazear, Building. Dear Mr. Lazear: I hand you t1erewith the three bills prepared by Mr. Taliaferro with reference to the Workmen's Compensation Law; the catastrophe fund and the law with reference - to motions for new trial. t also enclose copy of Mr. Taliaferro' s letter to me in explanation of these bills. With particular reference to the bill amending the law vi.th reference to new trials, the purpose of this amendment is to place a limitation upon the time within which motions for new trial upon the ground of neuly discovered evidence can be filed. As the law now exists, at least as interpreted by Judge Tidball, there is no such limitation and this has an important bearing, as will be apparent to you, of cases under the compensation law. Ii' there is no sue h limitation an injured \'Jorkman may years after the occurrence of the injury file a motion for new trial in a proceeding for an a~ard upon the ground of newly discovered evidence and open the v1hole case . I have spoken to Senator Pearson about these bills and he understands that you ~ill introduce them. I suggest that you speak to him, telling him you have the bills in your possession, and be certain that he is in the chair when they are introduced so that he will refer them to the proper committee. He advised ~e that he ~ould refer the bills to the judiciary committee. 'When the bills have been referred to that committee, of which you are a member, the coal operators and others would like to have a date for hearing before the coI:lffii.ttee set far enough in advance so that ample notice can be given to all interested and the matter can be carefully considered by the committee. Will you kindly advise me of the action you have taken in this connection. Very truly yours, JUL-T c~ - Mro T. So Taliaferro, Jr. Mr. Eugene McAuliffe. �Jc.:.1u;;.r~,r 14 t h , 19 5 t:, . .Toh1 U.
