Dear u i r ; ...
A f ew days ago a commi tt ee of f our men
r e pre se nti ng the Lo ca l Union here came in t o see
me and put in a claim for$ 1000 00 fo r the burial
of James Dumas ,a miner who v1as kille d by going ba.kk
on a shot he had lit up in h i s r oom in Hoo7 ~ mine
O!l 24th day of IJarch o
9

9

Thls claim they sa id was 5-n line with the
last f our l i nes of para graph D of Section 19 of Workrn -n Compensat i on Act of t hi s state which reads: - - ---~1
\'fhen dea t h , results from an tnjur y

the expense of bur i a l,shall be paid
n ot t o exce ed One Hundred Dollars
($ 100.00) in any case unless other
arran~ements ex ist bet ween emplo~er
and employee under a greemm t.
9

I re f err e d t hem to page ten of our agreeme nt which cove rs cases of this kind where in the
tpiners contribute $ 1 . 00 per man,!ind the company
~~ 50.00 which in my op inion rel•i evea the company
from paying this $ 100.00,but they co~tend that this
is contri buted for the benefit of the dependents,and
not for bur mal purposes.
Later they took this question up with_James_
llorgan,a.nd they tell me that he sustains them in th!1r
olaim\and I understand that they are now taking this up
With the county attorney to get n ruling on it.

�Mr George B Pryde.
This is the fmrst time this question has been
raised,and we have never paid the h1Lndred dollars in
cases of this kind,,and in further support of my standoI
wish to call yomr attention to lines 30J31,32?33 9 34,35,
a.nd 36 of our agreement which sayso
In case there is no family or heirs,

all money collected as above shall be
returned pro rata to the company and
local union 9 from whom collected after

funeral expenses have been pa~do

Thi s i ~ my opinion shows that it is an ag:xced
agreement to cover case~ of this kind 9 and relieve the
company of pay i ng this~ 100000

Yours truly o

~ine Superintendent.

De ar Sir:The f ollowin g edi toria l a pp ea red i n t h e \"Jyomin g State Tribune
issue 0 £ Oct ob er 6th o
n~he news papers of Uyomi n g :b.ave been convinced that the Workmen's
Com~ens a tion act needs revi s in g. Every industry is placed On the
extra haza rd ous li st . The f ollowing from the Wyoming State
Jou rnal a t Lani e r th r ows some li ght on the situation .
The \1y omi n g Y/ orkmen rs Compensa t i on act needs amending about as
badl y a s any of t h e l aws on the statute books. All indust±res
th at come un der i t s pr ovisio n s pa y the same flat rate regardless
of t he haz a rd of empl oyment . For instance, print shops pay the
sa me a s c1a l mines 1·,:hen ·a s a matter of fact', since the passage
of this law n ) printer in the entire state r2s been seriously
injure d, exce pt one and he was a homesteader on the Si.de and his
t eam ran avvay an d near ly killed him while he Was out working on
his home~tead. Some of the ne wspapers of Wyoming have raid as
much as ~)3, 000 in ta this fund without any of their employe s
ever having ha d occasion to call for relief. The tax ought
r ightly to :fall upon the more hazardous forms of employment. "
~hougnfi;erhaps you might hav.e o'ver-looked this and wanted to call
it to your attention.
For your information, I have sent a copy of this to Mr. Quealy,
