Dear Si r : - I received in due course your letter of July 24 sending me compensation report for the m>nth of June, and woul d .be ob liged if you would let me have similar report f or J u l y and each succ eeding month in the future . I am in'tereeted in knowi ng j u st what employee of the Coal Company have been c l assified as en gaged in ext r a haz~rdous empl oymen_t, upon wh ose wages t he Coal Company pays into the State Treasury fo r the benefit of the Industria l Accident Fund, 1-1/2~ of the moneys earned by such employee. In other words, as I understand the law, the Co~l Company is not required to pay 1-1/2% of ~he wages of all of its employee but only those engaged in extra hazardous e~plo~ent and I desire to be assured that we are paying only what is required. Office and Store Department employee are as I take it, not engaged in extra hazardous employment and it may be that certain of the ground men in the service should not be so classified. No doubt the State has been called upon to interpret the law and · possibly has issued a list of employee to be regarded as engaged in extra hazardous employment and if ao, I would be glad to have you send me a copy ot the ruling. �- 2 If you have not already arranged. to do . so, perhaps it would be we~l to have your Auditor check the amounts and returns mad~ by the Union Pacific Coal Company to assure us that we are making payments only as are required by the law.

Think this m~tter should _receive our vigorous consideration, and protest agains t the State Treasurer, or any other State Officer taking upon · himsel f by w~y of recommendation or otherwise, the establishment of some form of commis s ion or other expensive method which will increase the cost of compensation, and reduce the net result to the employee.

Brooks, · General Manager, Union Pacific Coal Co., Rock Springs, Wyoming. My dear Mr. Brooks: I was very glad to hear from you regarding your opinion of the Wyoming Workmen's Compensation Law. On Sunday I had a conference which was attended by a nll!Ilber of representatives of labor, the State Mine Inspector, and Mr. William Sammon, who has charge of the administration of this law. The more we discussed the matter the more doubtful I became as to the amendments and changes that appeared to be necessary. I am not an expert on workmen's compensation. It is a very complicated matter and after listening to those who seemed to know so much more about it than I it was difficult for me to arrive at any positive conclusion. I will sa;y, however, that the law did not appear to be so bad as some have made out, but there were three changes which appeared to be necessary: first, the law sho~ld be amended to include practically all workmen within the State; second, ~he amount paid for temporary total disability seems to be inadequate; and third, there appears to be no reason why the State should contribute to the fund. Outside of these changes we appear to be getting along pretty well. Very truly yours, ~ I). CV~. �Jn.nuary 8 lnd5e. J . .1.

Brooks, Gen.Mgr., Union Pacific Coal Company, Rock Springs, Wyomi ng. My dear Mr . Brooks: Your letter of December 23rd reached me i n du e . s eason, and have endeavored to comply with your reque st, but for r ea.aons hereinafter enumerated have been unable to do so pr omptly . In the fi r st place the report for th e year ending October 31, 1920 shoul d have been out of the pri nters • hands long before this, bu t for some reason i s no t yet off the press. I have been waiting to get thie year ' s experience, as I have no doubt this is t he one you would desi re the moat. Even the reports of last year are hard t o get, and am haTing the Olympia office s end you some direct, hopi ng you may fi nd information in them that \7111 be benefici al i n your work there. Several oo~ies of the Mining Code , t oget her wi th amendments of the l egislature of 1919 are being s ent under separate cover, as per your request. As to the personal featur e in dealing wi th administ rati Te problems , I am inclined to the :. belief that most states are top-hea-yy wi th oommiasions, resulting in a great de al of waste of the taxpayers• money, merely paying political debts in a large number of cases to men who may be good politicians but l aok administratiTe a.nd exeoutiTe ability, not to speak ot intense interest in the work assigned the~. As to my opinion regarding the personnel suggested by your law, were men to fall into the hands of a just judge, they would indeed be fortunate, but an act of this kind should be as far remo ved from legal and financial interests as it is possible tor them to get, a.nd~laoed in the hands of upright, unbiased administrators whose sole object would be to administer the law equitably and oonsiderately to all parties concerned. Different states have had different experiences, and I am loath to criticise without having concrete facts for guidance, but I do think our own law oould be handled at much less expense than it is now. You appreciate that the administration expenses are paid for by general taxation, an appropriation made by the legislature for this purpose. And yet I am informed by Mr. Andersen that under the Montana syetem, which is eleot1Ye as to whether they come �I • lil', E• s. Brooks a I I under the state or private administration1. their costs are less · with higher compensation awards than are paid in our own state·. · How· this can be I have no means of determining, but sU:oh is the statement made by Mr. Andersen. I should suggest that aside from your District Judge, some man not directly connected with the court, such as the clerk, but rather a .public spirited citizen, either a laboring man or some level headed business man, be entrusted with the administration of your law. It looks too one-aided to have the whole-hearted support of all elements of society. This ia · merely my own humble criticism for yourself personally, and ' not as expert adTice for public use. Mias r.aehburn, the Association and myself appreciate your greetings, and extend the same to yourself and Mrs. Brooks. · Hoping that you will live to see many happy returns of the season, and with kindest personal regards, I am Ve:ry truly yours, �PERCY GILBERT coM1'fiSSiONERS SECRETARY H,L, HUGH~~AIRMAN ERNEST A , SEABORG E,S,GILL STATE OF WASHINGTON r --.. llj OFFICE OF I INDUSTRIAL INSURANCE: DE:PARTM E: NT .........
