I have arranged to have Mr. Calverly here and will also arrange through him for a representative from the Midwest Refining Cam.pany to attend. He has suggested that Mr . Osborne of Ca~per representing .. : 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 m.om he would suggest should attend. When I have received same, I wi 11 give the matter further consideration. Presumably you and Mr. McAuliffe have given consideration to having a representative of the labor organizations here and concluled that it wo·u ld not be wise . .Judge Lacey ms 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 .Timmy Morgan and i.u-. Fox at the conference. CC-Mr. Eugene McAuliffe W.II'. T.S.Taliaferro,.Tr.

STAHDAJIO FORM 2103 IKt-10,000 SUBJECT: THE UNION PACIFIC COAL COMPANY OFFICE OF Rock Springs, Wyoming July 7, 1932 IN REPLY PLEASE REFER TO . NO. Attorney Mr. George B. Pryde Vice President and Gener al Manager T-he Union Pacific Coal Comp any Rock Springs, Wyoming \ Dear Sir: I think there should be a conf er ence bet~een some of t h e larger employers of labor in extra-ha zardous employm ents, to work out several proposed changes in the law, to be presented to t h e coming Legislature. Here in Sweetwater County, an effort is being made to use the Compensation Law as a political conveyance. It is unnecessary for me to go into detail as to who is doing this, and the inconsistent and unreasonable changes which are being proposed. Honever, the County Attorney has gone so far as to state to the Judge of the district court that the hernia statute will be repealed by the next Legislature. Of co urse, such action by the Legislature would be in violation of modern scientific thought upon t h e subject. Some of the t hing s that I t hink 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 e~ployers of labor to give surety as to contributions to the fund. Tl e cons ti tutionali ty of the service charge to non-resident employers should be considered. •i The effect of lovTer wages upon the awards as fixed by the schedule, and the inevitaole diminution of the fund, under present schedules. • A modern schedule of loss of vision should be proposed~ in lieu of' the present schedule. I I I .I II I i I The statutory fees for investigations made by Commissioners upon reference by the Judge to be fixed by law. II I ,I I wrote a letter, a few days ago, to Judge Tidball, protesting the bringing by the County Attorney of many witnesses, in behalf of claimants, who are induced to bring suits by one Dan Pallie. I stated to the Judge I l 1 �I' I I I tf.lHDIJID FORM 2103 IMt-10,000 SUBJECT: THE UNION PACIFIC COAL COMPANY IN REPLY PLEASE REFER TO OFFICE OF NO. that almost every t hing t ha t t h ese wi t n ess es would tes t ify to would have been admitted without any witne s ses. Bu t t hat is no t t he i dea. The using of these vd tnesses is at t he ex ens e of empl oyers, and is a gr a tuity. I think it would be well i f you would consi der t his letter, and see if arrang emen ts can be made, someti me befo re it i s too late, for such a meeting, and to have a progr am fo r considera tion whi ch has been well thought out. At least t hose who attend t hi s meeting should be those who have had actual experience in t h e operation of t h e l aw, and who have given consideration to the administra tion of t he law in other states.
