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.

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.

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. ~ �of c or:1p:Jl.'lco.t icm ue a lt..i?)od t:nd if th o aoow,t lie claimed Ir I Cb �r i I it n<-J:J d.ovol opo th&:G ih.iP rnohil'l0 do.y.

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 �RECEIVED MAY 2 11925 GEH£RAl MAHAGER ~--,~ ::-;; 0 ··• ;~ ... : "~ _; ;i ::, ?- ..... .... , ~·:~·~o: ~ .-~~-: :.:S, ...- ~ - - ~- , 0 ,. . ,. , .. . ◄ ,. ),- A. 1. • ..,; .,_..._, .. _ ,_. • ~ r-." ., :,O'\ - , ~ '-- ·-- · - r' \ : ... i..., . f"\ 11,. .,.
