M. as the date for a conference at our office with reference to possible changes in the compensation law and 01.1r- subsequent exchange of telegrams with reference to the availability af August 16th for the conference: I note that the 16th would not be available for the reasons suggested and we will re-arrange our schedule here so that the conference can be held on the 17th. I have arranged to have Mr. Calverly here and will also arrange through him for a representative from the Midwest Refining Cctm.pany to attend. He has suggested that Mr. Osborne of Ca~per representiri;g . : the Standard in such matter, should be here and I have asked him to arrange that also. He also promised to give me a list of other persons mom he would suggest should attend. When I have received same, I will give the matter further consideration. Presumably you and Mr. Mc.A.uliffe have given consideratiOll to having a representative of the labor organizations here and concluled that it would not be wise. Judge Lacey lns suggested that we have al- ways been in agreement with the labor organizations, a situation which has been very helpful in getting compensation legislation through the Legislature. I suggest this so you and Mr. McAuliffe may consider whether it would be advisable to have Jimmy Morgan and Mr. Fox at the conference.

PRYDE V �STAHllARO lll-.2>10,000 FORM 2103 ~ OFFICE OF THE UNION PACIFIC COAL COMPANY Ro ck Sp rings, Wyoming J uly 7, 1932 IN REPLY PLEASE REFER TO NO, Attorney mr. George E. Pryde Vice President and General Manager Th e Uni on Pe.ci f i c Co al Corn a.ny Rock Sp r i ng s, Wyoming 1 l t ear Si r : I think there should be a conference between some of the larger em)loyers of' lab or in extra- hazardous employments, to vmrk out several proposed ch ange s in th e law, to be presented to the coming Legislature. Here i n Si7e e t r1ater County , an effort is being made to use the Compensation Law a s a poli t ical convey ance. It is unnecessary for me to go into detail as to nho is doing t hi s, and the inconsistent and unreasonable changes which are being proposed. Ho ~ever, the County Attorney has gone so far as to state to the Judg e of t h e dist r ict court that the hernia statute will be repealed by the next Legislatur e. Of course, such action by the Legislature would be in violation of moder n scientific thought upon the subject. Some of the things that I think should be considered are: A law limiting the number of witnesses which the County Attorney may subpoena at the expense of the employer. Non-resident employers of labor to give surety as to contributions to the f und. ·r he constitutionality of the service charge to non-resident employers should be considered. The eff ect of lower wages upon the awards as fixed by the schedule, and the inevitable diminution of the fund, under present schedules. • A modern schedule of loss of vision should be pro posed~ in lieu of the present schedule. The sta tuto ry fees for investigatio n s made by Commissioners u p on reference by the Judge to be fixed by law. I wrote a letter, a few days ago, to Judge Tidball, protest~ng the bringin3 bJ the County Attorney of many witness e s, in behalf of claimants who are iuduced to bring suits by one Dan ~allie. I stated to the Judge' I t I I �Sl'Alll>Al!ll FORM 2103 111-29-10,000 THE UNION PACIFIC COAL COMPANY IN REPLY PLEASE REFER TO OFFICE OF NO. t ha t almos t every t hi ng t hat t h ese witnesses would testify to v:ould have been admitted without any witnesses. But that is not the idea. The using of t he s e vi tnesses is a t the exp ense of employers, and is a gratuity. I think it would be well if you would consider this l.etter, and s e e i f ar range2nents can be made, sometime before it is too late, for such a meetin; , and t o h ave a p rogram for consideration which has been well thought out . At lea st t hose who attend this meeting should be those who have had a ctual experience in t h e op eration of the law, and who have given consideration to t h e administration of the law in other states. It vmuld seem to the writer that Rock Springs would be the most favorable pl ace to have the meeting. '.Cb'.C:H �t _"'J [\ 'i \ .\ i: ~. \.''
