�THOMAS SEOOOH TAI.IAPERRO, I.IR ~
ATTORNEY ANO COUNSELOR AT LAW

ROCK SPRINGS,WYOMING

March 27th 7 1936.
l'Ir. T. J. O'Brien
t[r. Eugene t!clmliffe

l'lr. Georg e B. Pryde

Mr. J.M. Bernardin

Gentlenen:
On the 26th of !12.rch, 19 6, the District Court of' Sueet.wter
County awarded Stev~. Smith, an employee of the C~lL!~~,.?1 Coal and Coke
_C_oilp~ny, 0800.0b, on account of an alleged clcdm of loss·-or -nesrlng; · be.cause of Rn alleged injury, which he recel ved in the evJploy of the Central
Coal ~.nd Coke Company.
I listened to th0 testimony of the workm z.n, and to the testimony
of Doctors Lauzer and 't'anm~r , and coul d d:i.scover but little, if any, defect
in his hearing. The fact of the matter is he could he~r what ~ms said to
him better than I could heer the questions.
Bllt this is not the issue. The 1!ice-Presiclent of Dis.trict No.
2~ testified, un '.'.er h:i s o.sth, ns follor7s:
By rir . Galicich, County and. Prosecuting Attorney:.
nq . T'.ien to 1:Ji :. c::&gt; f11 Tiould be dangerous to him?
A. Absolutely. 11
0

I think :It. 1~ my iiut:- -t:o call the atten.tion of the coal
operato-..'s of the Sc,uthern ~omin_g field to this cas·e.. I do not believe
that there are any grounds upon \·,h1ch the judgment of the Court can be reversed, chieny because of the attitude of the Supreme Court of myoming
in recent cases brought before it.

What occurs to me is this, by granting ~800 .. 00 to this ~orkman
on account of his clairn thet his he~ring has been affected f;rom the slight
injury rnich he- received, the court must have found that . the testimony of
Vice-President Albert Roberts u2s true, and Albert Roberts• testimony is
nABSOLUTELYn Steve Smith is a dangerous man to be .e mployed in the. mine.
I hope I am not going beyond my sphere as an .attorney, but I

think that I' would be a poor legal representative i:r this s:ttuation v,,ere

not called to the attention of the head officials of' the operators.
Yours truly,

TST:ga
