Omaha - June 27, 1934

Referring to Mr. MoAuliffc' s joint letter to you and
of June 25th , euggest1ng tha.t lessees o'! our mineral pronertiee
p ~tioularl y 1n the s~at~f --wv:ami•ng , be oheoked Up to s ee that
they are nlting payments required by the Workmen ' s Oo ensa.tion Law.
1

Section 15 of our struidard oil and gas l ease reads
ae follow :
"The Les~ee , in the operation and develop ent of the
rights hereby granted , shall be eubjeot to all applio ble
Fed ral ena.otments and to tbose of the State 1n wh ich a id
pre ieec :..re located , 1nolud1t1g those =relating to Employe~s•
Li bility , Workmen ' a Coa:penaation and workmen• s In surance;
and
ea to hold the Ra ilroad Co any har less from and
to in e nify it against the payment of any and all 'damage ,
claims , coats and expenses due to the existence of such
enactments , :.nd from and against any and all demands, ooets
and expenses in connection therewith under any asserted right
of aubro tion pr·y1ded for by said ~nactmente or otherwiee o"
Thie clau e would seem to protect us as against a
solTent lessee . I do not mow what situation,~ would be in,
bo e••r• •1th respeot to an insolvent lessee who had not met
his obli gations under the 'iorkmen •s Co pens tion Law. We have
iailu but· not identical proYisions in our ooal· and other 1n1ng

leaaee.

If you think we should follow the suggestion in the
laet paragraph of Mr. ¥oAul1ffe 1 c letter, I will advise the
Audit
too ok this ~tter up a t the ti
he oheoke the royalty
pa111ent with respect to producing oil and gas propertiee a nd with
respect to 1 ■ es on mineral lands other tl1an coal on which t here
is production. Since Mr. Pry4e ' s men make the current oheoks of
royalty paJllents under all coal mining lea e , I belieTe he can
handle the ituation in ofar as they re concerned. In the case
of oil md gas and a ining leases other than o oal on wh ich drilling
and ■ ining operation• aay be in progreae, although there ia no
production. this depart• nt 1'111 undertake to write directly to
eaoh euch l e&amp;eee and aak the■ if they are co plying · 1th the require ents of the Wor kmen ' s Ooapenaation L&amp;w.
Will you pleaae ad.vine.
