Tha basis of his argmoont being, th:lt tm fund is in a :position to carry this increase as the earnings for 1920 are ninety paroent above tha e:xpanditures. No doubt this is a fact, but must keep 1n mind that during tha yaar 1920 tm production of oil and coal, tla two oomnodities contributing the most money to tlla fund :ra at tmir heighth. I cannot speak on- the oil as intelligontly as on coal, but we all lmow that eyoming surpassed all p:revious Jaarly productions and worked more dqs during 1920 than any previous years. As our asseaSJIBnt 1s based upon payrolls, this naturall.il means that contributed more money to the t1md. I think the condition in 1921 will be tm 1"8verse •. I believe wyomillg tonnage will be much less and the nuni>er of worldl1g dqs will be greatq deo:reaaed. !lhis will mean smaller ~ l l s and consequently a less amount of momy paid into the f'1md, so that I believe tla t at t:m end ot 1921 this relation between receipts and expenditures of 1921 will exiat, so that I th1Dk these tacts must be ta.ken into consideration detemintng Just how much the oonp3nsation should be imreased. we belieft i t shoUl.d be im:reased, but not to tbe extent of ninety ;i P&l'Oe:nt. !be bill pnaented to the legislatme will no 4o'abt adTOO&te tm n:tandillg to tm state of soma t22e.e1t.66 whioh the State :baa transfer.red. t:L-oa ita ge:nanl t,mct to tm worlmants oom- 1!1!1 �SUPERIOR ROCK SPRINGS COAL CO . Page 2o (llr• E o So Brooks) o pensation f"an.d. There is a question in rru mind as to whatl:lar this should be done ina.smuoh-a.s the taxpayers and .the state desire the workman's compensatio~ fund, and in order to get it started9 appropriated a certain amowt of money each year. Now that the worlmlan 1 s compensation fund has becona self-supporting, I do not believe it is right for tllam to ask that this money be given back to thamo However, I do thinlt th.at th.a amotmt contributed could be decreased over a period of three or four years so that at tha end of this time 9 the State would be relieved of tha contribution. I bslieve that State off'ioials and particularly the employees ara endeavoring to receive benefits from tlla large flmd that has accumulated and have entirely igntirad tmi employer who has created this :f'Und 7 in their desire to distribute a. portion of' ito If the fund has beoome top heavy and it is the belief that it is now self-supporting, I think that the rate paid by th.a employer should be reduoed possibly to one and a quarter ~rcent or on.s paroant o The compensation to the employee increases and tha State gradually relieved of its contribution. I think yre should not lose sight of tha fact that their are three parties interested in this f'llnd 9 the employe:r, the employee and the state. It is interesting to note tha awards ma.de for injuries during the existence of the workman's compensation. These are sho\'Jll in tha fourth report and the supplement report, and I list them below for your information:First .Period second Period Third Period FOurth Period Fifth .Period $62,171.91 99,598.03 94,953.6'1 131'15'1.95 233, 02.7 • '11 You will note that the awards for injuries have gradually increased each year. !his no doubt, being dua to the fact that the worlm:en•s compensation law is gradually extending tm scope of its work and :naturally more 1njur;les are coming under its jurisdiction, so that I feel that during 1921 the depa.rtnent will be faced with a:n increased amount of awards with decreased receipts. I bel:leve tba. t the idea of having a commission to handle this conpensation 1s a dead issue as it seems that all employers and eiqployees are opposed to it, and while it has been advocated in the Treas1U'8r 1 s report, I do not believe it will become an issue. I talked with Martin Cahill and James Morgan quite a number of times. I believe that they are wry reasonable in their dellBD4a from the standpoint of the employee. Morgan seems to teal that \VYOmiDg should be at the head ot the 11st of all other states 1n 1ta oe>q,ensation to emplo19es, but I believe this is going a li'ttle strong. I think records show that out of the forty five states and territories, that \VYODlllJ8 ranks :tifteenth in tm amount of ooJll!)&nsation. Or 1n othar words, Wyoming is in the first third which I think is ~ oallent position o o n s i ~ t h a t om- OOJl!l)8J1eation law is �SUPERIOR ROCK SPRINGS COAL CO. page 3.-(Mr• E. s. Brooks). about only five years old. ll/hile I believe it woUld be · nide for our state to bead the list, I hardly 1think. it is just the time for us to increase the oompensation too much. There are quite a number of otbar minor corrections of the lav, which will come up9 but I do not believe thay will affect the employer one way or anothero If at any time I can be of assistance·9 I will be very glad to have you call on meo very truly yours 9 SO.PER!OR ROCK SPRINGS CO.AL COo o General Hanagaro HOM-te "' �Superior ock Springs C oal Co.

I very much favor your scheme, and I will be glad to participate. I take it the expense of this matter will be borne by Southern Wyoming Coal Operators Association. Yours truly, PJQ-P.
