/es tor

,

Enclosed are copies of vrording of joint stipulations· which are being
used in the various districts in settlement of claims for compensation for the

iccount of The Union Pacific Coal Companyo
Please note that part of stipulation which we use in Sweetwater County

iii.th reference to Final Settlement.

This form was dictated by Mr. Taliaferro for

the very purpose of a.voiding such an occurrence as the White case.

I am not sure

that this stipulation t.rill answer the purpose for which it is intended or not,

but think 1'Iro Taliaferro has successfully resisted re-opening of a number of cases

tbich he.d been settled by this form for some of the other operators whom he rep-

resents.
This form was not drawn Yri.th the idea of depriving any of our workmen

of their rights, but ·was intended to definitely close cases where the Surgeon

ad reported that workmen have fully recovered from the effects of the injury,

nd ther

.
e is no loss of tissue or function.

to additional compensation

As soon as we receive this repo

rt from exam-

ertifying as to the percent of disability which was present at the
board' c

tiIDe of f J.n

•
based on final report of examining. board ' and
• a 1so stipulated

due ''

award shall be in final settlement of all claim for compensation for this
tbat
..,j.icular injury sustained by workman.

paru

If such a thing is possible, we should adopt some standard form of word-

ipulation that would, r1ithout question, definitely close these cases so
ing of st
that vihen cases are reported to our General Solicitor as being closed we could

ieel that we were c ir: rrect in so reporting them, and not find later that our report
\'IB.S misleading

and that cases are continued instead of being closed.

Dear Sir:--

Someti1i1e I thinlc it might be VJell for y o •J to hav e a conversation Vli th Dr. Arbogast upon the pha. s e of bis f i nal reports
which appear to me to be rather speculative. Sometime ago we received a final report from the doctor, in which he s aid that in his
judgment, the workma.n "will be able to resume his duties in a.bout three
wceks. 11 It is obvious we could not stipula te e.n award for three weeks
ahead of the stipulation and 1:tf e declined to do it.
We frequently get final reports from Dr .. Arboga.st in which he gives

it as his opinion that the employee may resume 'Hork in one or two days.
I am wondering if, frequently these one or tvm day s are not gratuitous.
Please understand tl:1at I do not say this is true, but I do believe that,

vihere every__ influence is to stretch out the time, especially where the
number of &lt;1ays of work per week, is small., that it might be vrnll the f'irst
time you see Dr.Arbogast to remind him that the st~tute ±s, that compensation is to cease when the injured person :«can perform work at
'fu1. occupation.n

an,y

gain.-

The thought I wish to convey is this, that in looking over these
reports, the surface indication is, that two or three days are always
given after the date of the final report;
It seems that some of these
dates would be coincident with the final reporto
I am just suggesting
what occure_?._ to me, and I thought in .a diplomatic way, without reference
to this- letter, you might sometime call the doctor's attention to the
fact, that it is quite desirable, if possible to have the final reports
definite.
I feel a hesitancy in authorizing the payment of State funds upon
a final report that says that a workman may be able to go to work in
three or four days, and then to give that workman three or four days extra
con1pensution upon a mere supposition.
We are constantly returning these
final reports to the surgeons, requiring them to be made more definite
and certain in this behalf.
We have in mind a recent occurance. A workman is drardng compensation at the rate of $90.00 per month. Mrs•Emery noticed that he is
walking around town, and asked the camp surgeon why a final surgical
~eport is not forthcoming. The surgeon replied that this would pr?~ably
e e1one in two or three months, but Mrs• Emery said 11 I see him wal.1-C1ng

�around on the streets" upon v, h ich the surgeon replied, 11 Yes, I have
t;o1d him he could worlc at some lieht work, but he hasn't been able

to get a J.ight job."

A policy of this kind works very \'Jell in those sta tes HheI· e
coropensa tion is b a sed upon the a ver&amp;. ge wa ges a n d time of the en1ployment
exhibited for the past t wo or three yea rs.

rt does not v,cor1c wher e, as we d o i n Wyomi n g , p ay the highest
awards 3rnov1n in any cornpensa tion l avJ, and t ha t rJi thou t r efe r e nce to the
workman s probable earning ca pacity o
I hav e tri ed to make t he
Courts understand the lib er ality of our l aY, and tha t it needs no
stretching to satisfy what they ca ll in othe r s t a t es n1ib eral
construction."

Yours truly ,

!Jr. G. B. Pryde:

In Mr o Harrington rs monthly report . of compensation

cases for December, 1927, the Gus Ebner case, No. 2042,is
still carried on the docket, "Compensation disputed, protest
filed. 11

As v,e arranged to pay Mr. Ebner $40.00 per month_.
effective with the month of November, 1927, this case should
be cleared from Mr . Harrington rs docket.
Please have Mr. Harrington advise just what is

meant by a disputed case, as, for example, his summary o_f
Winton cases for December shows "Pending disputed cases 1 ' II
While the detail report shows five cases in the disputed

column.
