Mr· A.

I ¥d sh you would please note attached

letter from Mr • Taliaferro regarding compensation
which should be pai d to An ton Dolence.

I think Mr.

Taliaferro's point is wal l t a ken and believe all
Superintendents r el y too much on Mr . Taliaferro to
decide the ext ent of compens a tion.

I wish y ou would take up with all
Superintendents in the Rock Springs field, advising
them that the y should p ersonally check the employees

claims before they rea ch Mr . Taliaferro's office, as
all claims should be scrutinized by the !.H ne Super-

intendents personally and not left en ti rely to the
judgment of the Mine Clerk.
Will you kindly take up with the Mine
Superintendents as instructed, sending me a copy of
Your

letter? . As Mr• Taliaferro says, we must watch

�Rock Springs - December 6, 1924.

Subject:

Time Limit on Reporting Injuries on Compensation
Cases, Nyoming Field.

Mr. Geo. B. Pryde:
In discussing the handling of compensation cases
with several of the mine superintendents, the question has
arisen of the proper reporting of injuries.

In our opinion

any legislation contemplated to the Workmen's Compensation
Act should include a clause requiring that compensation be
claimed within 30 days after the date of accident with the
further provision that the injury must be reported to the
workman's foreman or to the designated physician of the Coal
Company, within 48 consecutive hours of calendar days, subsequent to the injury.
