PRYDE �rrAHD.WI FORM 2103 SUBJECT: ll~-b-10,000 THE UNION PACIFIC COAL COMPANY Rock Springs, i~oming September 28, 1932 OFFICE OF Attorney IN REPLY PLEASE REFER TO NO, Mr. H.J. Harrington Rock Springs, Wyoming Dear Sir: In reference to the voucher of $750.00 authorized to be paid to John Petrovich as a gratuity: Mr. McAuli ffe understands the circumstances under which this voucher is autho r ized. It seems to me the situation is a delicate one and t hat a general release might or might not be deemed advisable. We are to stipulate $750.00 by way of compensation is to be awarded, and we believe that that award is all that the workman is entitled to under the law, yet it is proposed to give him $750.00 more, and not to continue him in our employ. A situation of this sort to my mind should be carefully considered lest at some future time our own act in the premises may be construed as recognizing a condition bordering upon permanent total disability. Of course I disclaim any such thought. Still, it seems to r.ie that it would be wise to have Mr. McAuliffe consider the situation and to decide the language to be employed in draVIing the voucher, and whether or not some form of contract in the shape of a "general release" might be deemed advisable . • TST:li �Form 2191 / UNION PACIFIC SYSTEM TELEGRAM Time Filed _ _ _ _ _ M I ~ J' // (Zz;.,___~ l OR SI K o~aha Aug 26 ,. l83Z GBP Rcck2.pl'i~s B-lOO s~tiafaotory settle on basis fifty per cent for leg t hru com~ens~ t ion fund xer.r.ainin.., fifty peroent gre.tuity b oth pr efer ably on wont hly payw.ent basiia . if necessary 1uake full oe.sh settlei:1ent M- 88 El, CA 1044 ~:;. n,Eii5aooM �Form2191 c.s.
