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

Sect.L.U.2616.
