Union Pacific Railroad
Wins Safety Award
NATIONAL Safety Council, sponsors of the
1940 Railroad Employes' National Safety
Contest, recently announced that employes of the
Union Pacific Railroad Company again were winners of the 1940 contest for safety operations.
The contestants include employes of Class 1 railroads who worked 50,000,000 man-hours or more
last year. This was the fifth consecutive year that
Union Pacific's employes had the lowest accident
frequency rate for large railroads.
Because the contest's· rules prevent the same railroad from winning in two consecutive years, Union
Pacific has been the technical winner in only three
of those years. Col. John Stilwell, president of the
council, said:
"The Union Pacific led the group in the contest
for 13 of the last 18 years. This record did not just
happen. It has been made possible by leadership
which so emphasized the importance of safety to
all branches and groups of the Union Pacific organization that effective accident prevention was
maintained as the first rule of the railroad's operation. To President William M. Jeffers should be
given full credit for the splendid esprit des corps
which so emphasized the importance of safety
throughout the railroad."

THE

Schools
Twenty-six hundred inquiries have been received
at the University of Wyoming in relation to its
summer session. This is many times the number received last season.
Up to this writing, no person has been selected
to follow in the Presidency of the Wyoming State
University in the stead of Dr. A. G. Crane.
The Rock Springs High School debaters met def eat at the Lexington, Kentucky, national speech
tournament, the team sending them down being
from Laporte, Indiana. Our · lads and lasses still
stand· high in our estimation.
Superior High School, on May 22nd, graduated
53 students, the largest dass in its history.
The Associated Women Students of Wyoming
University recently held their election, . and Marguerite Mortenson, Cheyenne, a Junior, was named
as its President; Priscilla Ann McKinney, Cheyenne,
Treasurer; Jennie Frolich, Superior, Vice President; Beth Hillyard, Auburn, Secretary; Billie
Kennedy, Laramie, Presidential delegate-at-large;
and Donna Jean Foote, Rock Springs, Vice Presidential delegate-at-large.

I sat by my window one evening
As the sun went down in the west;
I thought of the people of Europe
With their war, their strife, and unrest.
I thought of the people of Britain,
And the horrors of war they stand;
Of women and children a-weeping
As England fights for her land.
Then I thought of the air raids,
And of the siren's sound.
I could see the· people hurrying
To their shelters under ground.
And when the air raid is over,
And the people come back in the sun
To see what death and destruction
Was brought by the savage Hun.
But Britain's pilots are not sleeping
As over the Channel they roam
To bomb the German ·cities
As was done to theirs back home.
And then I thought of the future
When the dictators' rule is o'er,
I vision the people 9f Europe
Happy and peaceful once more.
Then as the evening grows darker
And my thoughts come back to me,
I think of my home in America,
And what it means to be free.

You'll probably recall the last contest at which
a "brand new" outfit, (boys from the General
Office ) came in at the eleventh hour and walked
off "with the bacon," much to the surprise of all.
Admission is free, and you might see something
or learn some wrinkle that will in after years stand
you in good stead.

Safety Shoes
There was a time when it was news
To know a' man wore safety shoes;
But nowadays, all those who care
About their toes will wear a pair.
A mashed toe hurts and makes you feel
Like the kind of a fellow who's called a " heel:"
For the thinking man who really shows
Respect for his feet protects his toes,
And just as long as there are ways
To injure feet, we know it pays
To guard them well. So take your ·cue
And keep each foot in a safety shoe.
Quote it in poetry, set it in proseThere's really no difference. Everyone knows
The worth of protection, but just to be sureRely on PREVENTION, it's better than CURE.

W' e are explicit as to time and place because
what happened there, in the years to come, will become history, real and vital. The occasion was the

established to honor men who have made for themselves an enviable position in the work of min e accident prevention. Forty-three supervisory officials
of the Company became charter members of SIGMA

the tremendous value and importance of working
safely.
Safety Engineer R. R. Knill also spoke from the
stage of the Old Timers' Building, pointing out the
nearly two million cumulative man hours of effort
put forth during the last half of J 940, represented
by this grand prize for Safety, contrasted with the
probably less than thirty seconds required for the
occurring of the fourteen accidents which were suffered during that period.
Thomas Berta, of the Fox Rialto Theatre, Rock
Springs, conducted the drawing, supervising the
depositing of the capsules in the "churn" and calling the names of the winners. He was ably assisted
by little Miss Shirley Dickson, who, blindfolded,
drew the capsules from the "churn," and by Roy
Sather and Allan Hensala, Presidents of the Rock
Springs Local Unions. Messrs. Sather and Hensala
mixed the capsules thoroughly, and witnessed the
entire conduct of the drawing, as well as checking
the names of the winners after they were drawn
from the glass container by Miss Dickson.

'B oy Scout Activities

I

Kenneth Lehto, Scribe for Troop 92, Winton,
contributes the following items:
At the recent Court of Honor held in the Congregational Church, Ro-ck Springs, eight boys received their Second-Class badges, and one the
Tenderfoot award.
Winton has two patrols, the Coyote and the Moose.
The leader for the latter is Roy Busko, the assistant
Ernest Nigra. Leader of the first-named patrol is
Louis Shifrar, his assistant being Lawrence French.
At the last Camporee, Troop 92 was not very well
equipped, and they have hopes of being in better
shape before the next gathering is scheduled.

The \~'inton boys are enthused to a high pitch,
and their Scoutmaster, James Johnson, a teacher in
the High School at Reliance, who lives at Winton,
is doing diligent work amongst the boys and accomplishing results, for which he should receive
the -commendation of the parents and other residents of the district.

• Death Of Wm. A. Willia111s
A. WILLIAMS, whose last occupation with the
WM.Company
was as a Machine Boss in old No.
10 Mine here many years ago, died at the home of
his sister, Mrs. Edith Traher, in Rock Springs after
an extended illness. He was first employed in 1896.
His fraternal connection was with the local Odd
Fellows Lodge, and the pallbearers were selected
from that organization. The funeral service was in
charge of Rev. E. L. Tull, and the Episcopal choir
also officiated, the remains interred in Mountain
View Cemetery March 14th.
The deceased was born in Wales, and was brought
here by his parents at an early age.

Have Faith In God
"I said to a man who stood at the gate of the
year: 'Give me a light, that I may tread safely into
the unknown,' and he replied, 'Go out into the
darkness and put thine hand into the hand of God.
This shall be to thee better than light and safer
than a known way.' "
-King George VI

All in a ll , the evening of Thursda y, February
27, was an eventful one, marking a new high in accid_en_t prevention work, Sa fety Engineer Knill able
to rnform th e members of the new society that if no
accident occurred on the pro pert y in th e succeeding
twenty-four hours, the Compa ny's nine mines will
have passed the first two month s of the year without a lost-time acciden t. Mr. Knill 's praye r was answered, and no acciden t occurred on Februar y 28,

Our Standards Are
In1proving
In 1927, eleven so lid gold medals were awa rded
to mine foremen for having co nducted their respective mines one year without a fa tal accident.
The eleven presentation s, together with three watches, were made in the respective location s wh ere the
mines are located. It will be understood° that the
mine foreman was onl y required to conduct his
mine for twelve months without a fatal accid ent to
win an award in the year 1927.

Mr. :\lcAuliffe, in explaining the purpose of the
organization. that of honoring the men who qualified for membership and still further extending
the work of mine accident prevention. addsed the members that
special Iy designed keys of solid
gold. bearing the letters STE in
the Greek alphabet. and the name,
The Union Pacific Coal Company,
on the face. with the name of the
member and the year 1941 on the
reverse side, are now being manufactured. The keys bearing the
names of the forty-three charter
•
members will also bear the letters
C:\1. indicating charter membership.
Mr. McAuliffe further said that he saw no reason why other coal and metal mining companies
who are anxious to further the cause of mine accident prevention should not organize chapters of
SIGMA TAU EPSILON, setting up their own bylaws and qualifications for membership, in which
event The Union Pacific Coal Company mother
chapter might adopt the name of Alpha Chapter,
it not improbable that within a few years, numer-

Medal awarded D. C. Foote in 1927.
Since that time, the standard of efficien·cy in accident prevention has been increased until a number of our mine foremen have proven their ability
to conduct their mines for a period of twelve months
without a lost-time accident, either fatal or nonfatal. The climb upward has been a slow and
tedious one, and now mine safety has become an
accepted requirement in the operation of our mines.

Q

Science vs. Chance

M

R. LEWIS H. BROWN, in addressing the newly
organized SIGMA TAU EPSILON, Safety
Honor Society, on February 27th, delivered a meaty
and pertinent address. We present Mr. Brown's remarks in full:
"I have been allotted five minutes for a few
remarks, and I am going to retell an old story
and endeavor to make some application of it
to present day problems. About 1867 Mr. Mark
Twain wrote a pleasant and humorous sketch
entitled 'Science vs. Luck' which should per-

�164-

EMPLOYES' MAGAZINE

haps be more properly called 'Science vs.
Chance', and this story is briefly as follows:
"The State of Kentucky passed very strict
laws against what was termed 'games of chance'
and, as is frequently the case, these laws were
more honored in the breach than in the observance, with the result that some very reputable gentlemen were indicted and taken into
court charged with playing a game of chance
known as 'Seven Up'. Their lawyer was at
somewhat of a loss to know just what defense
to present, but finally the brilliant idea occurred to him ( possibly out of his own experience) , that 'Seven Up' was not a game of
chance or luck but that it was a game of science,
so when his clients appeared at the bar he
entered a plea of not guilty on the ground that
the game known as 'Seven Up' was a game of
science and not a game of luck or chance.
"The court was quite amused and somewhat
incredulous, but was willing to try the case upon the theory presented by the defendants'
counsel, so expert witnesses were called for the
prosecution who testified that the game of
'Seven Up' was a game of chance or luck, pure
and simple; the defense called an equal number of expert witnesses who testified and demonstrated that the game of 'Seven Up' was .a
game of science, and, this sort of expert testimony getting no where, it was agreed that a
more practical way would be used; it was
agreed that a jury of 12 men would be selected, 6 by the prosecution and 6 by the defense, and these 12 men would be given a
deck of cards, sent to the jury room, and left
to make a determination of the momentous
question.
"The prosecution selected four deacons and
two prominent church men as the 'chance' jury
men and the defense selected six - old veteran
'Seven Up' professors to represent the 'Science'
,:ide of the issue. In about two hours Deacon
Peters sent into Court to borrow $3.00 from
a friend. This caused a sensation; in about two
hours more another churchman sent in to borrow a stake (another sensation). During the
next few hours other 'chance' jurymen sent in
for a loan.
"About daylight the following verdict was
brought to the Court:
VERDICT
"'We, the jury in the case of the Commonwealth of Kentucky vs. John Wheeler, et al,
have carefully considered the points of the
case. and tested the merits of the several theorie~ advanced, and do hereby unanimously
decide that the game commonly known as old
sledge or seven-up is eminently a game of
science and not of chance. In demonstration
whereof it is hereby and herein stated, iterated,
reiterated, set forth, and made manifest that,

APRI&lt;"l94I

during the entire ni ght, the "chance" men
never won a game or turned a jack, although
both feats were common and frequent to the
opposition ; and furtJ1ermore, in support of this
our verdict, we call attention to the significant
fact that the "chance" men are all bu ted, and
the "science" men have the money . It is the deliberate opinion of thi s jury that the " chance"
theory con cernin g seven-up is a pernicious doctrine, and cal culated to inflict untold suffering and p~cuni a ry loss upon any community
that takes stock in it.'
"This delightful and humorous story by i\Iark
Twain always brings to me th is thought : In this
game which we are pleased to call ' life', the
man who knows the fa cts of the game, and who
applies to those facts meth odical , scientific effort, will alwa ys oµt-di stance the man who depends upon chance or luck to get hy. Mr. Ju stice Hughes once said, 'If the Court can get the
facts, the decision will write itself.' I say that
if you know your facts, and if you will appl y
to those facts practical, methodical , scientific
effort, the decision will al so write itself.
"The prevention of accidents, this thing
called 'Safety' , both in and out of industry, is
not a luck or chance problem; it is a scientific
problem to be treated methodically and scientifically, and into your hands is placed this
great trust and this great privilege called 'Safety' to administer for the welfare, the happiness
and the benefit of yourself and your fellow
workmen."

William Pryde, of this city) ; four sisters, ( one,
Mrs. John Christie, residing in Rock Springs).
Mrs. Kelley had been an invalid for six years
past, and had borne her illness with true Christian
fortitude, and her many friends and acquaintances
in this vicinity extend sincere sympathy to those
bereft.
Her husband, Hugh Kelley, predeceased her
twelve years ago.
"The church may have seen its duty imperfectly,
for it is made up of fallible human beings. but
when all is said it has been the one power through
nearly two thousand years which has ~too&lt;l for
peace, for brotherhood, for the cause of the poor
and distressed."-Errzest F. Scott, D.D.

Rock Springs - August 28, 1944

Mr. Eugene McAuliffe:
I talked to Mr. Hugh McLeod regarding his request for
an opinion from the Attorney General as to the legality of working women around the outside of our mines, Mr. McLeod stating
that Mr. Carey had asked him to get an opinion from the Attorney
General as it came,, under the State Coal Mining La,rs.
When Mr. McLeod was in Cheyenne during the early part
of August with Mr. John Lucas to interview Senator 0'Mahoney
{

regarding the possibility of getting a coal processing plant at
Rock Springs, he called at the Attorney General's office, merely
making a social call.

The Attorney General v,as not in, but Mr.

McLeod later received a letter from him, which he showed me, in
\

Jhich the Attorney General said that he was sorry he had been out.

1

Since the Attorney General has rendered his opinion,
Mr. Carey asked Mr. McLeod to inquire from the Attorney General
as to how he arrived at bis decision, Mr. McLeod advising Mr.
Carey that he had no further interest in the matter, as to hov&lt; the
Attorney General -arrived at his decision was none of his concern.
He has had nothing further from ~. Careyo

July 10 9 1944

Mr .. Hugh McLeod
State Inspector of Coal Mineo
Rook Springs, tvyoming

Dear Mro McLeodi
Your letter of July 3» 1944 9 ha.s been receivecio In it
you request 11 a. tv"'I'itten opinion as to i;rhether it is legal or not
for women to work in or about coal mines othe~ than in office
work or 1n other clerical oapacit1eso 11

The question seems to be clearly answered by a provision
of our Constitutiono
Section 3 of A1•ti cle 9 of the Constitution reads (omitting
inapplicable parts) as foll ows:
11

&lt;&gt; ,:; &lt;) no women or girl of any age shall be employed
or permitted to be in or ebout any coal 9 iron or
othe1' dangerous mines for the purpose of employment
therein; provided, hmiever, thi s provision shall not

affect the employment of e boy or femele of suitabl e
age in an office or i n the performance of clerical
work at such mine or colliery o 11

Here s fundamental policy was adopted by a vote of the people;
its importance 1s shot-m by the fact it was made a part of the
Constitution.
At the fir st session of our State Legislature it passed an

Act entitled
11

An Act relating to the care, custody and binding
out of children, and providing punishment of persons
who cruelly treat or neglect them. 11 (Chapter 20,
Session Laws of 1890-91)

Section 5 of that Act ( Section 20- 106, l'lyoming Rev1 sed Statutes,
1931) reads as folloirrs:
11

An:y person who shall takep receive, hire or employ, either
in his or her o~m behalf, or as the agent, servant· or
employe of any person, person s, associations of persons ,
oopartnership, company, corporation, any boy or male
child under the age of fourteen years, 21: any woman Q.!:
girl of any age, or shall allow or permit the said persons
to be in or about any coal, iron or other dangerous
mine, or underground works or dangerous place whatsoever

• I

�- 2 in this stat e, for t he purpose of employment ther ein
or thereabouts, shall be fi ned not le e s tha n t trenty- 'five
dollars , nor . more than one hundred dolla rs to which may
be added i mprisonment in the county jail no t more than
six months; provided, however , t hat the pr ovisions of
this sect i on shall not s.ffe ct or apply t o the empl oyment
of a boy or f emal e of suitabl e age in an offi ce , or in
the performance of cler ical work at such mine 11 col liery
or pl ace . 11

The purpose of this Ac t i 1as, no doubt, to facilita te t he
enforcement of t he Constitut ional pr ovision set forth above;
however p I have grave doubts about the validity of the penal
statute just quoted insofar a s it i mpo ses ~ fine and imori sonment fo r empl oying femal e s in or about coal mines in non~clerical
't•Jork. The reasons f or my doubt s a re the s e:
Section 24 of art icle 3 of the Cons titution provi des :

"No bill, except general appropri at ion bills and bills

for the codificat i on en d general revision of t he laws ,
shall be pa.seed conta inlng more than ™ subJect, t-Thi oh
shall be el enrly expr essed i n its titl e ; but i f any
subject is embr a ced in a ny a ct l·rhi oh is not eA-pressed
i n the t itle, such a ct shall be void only a s to so
much t h ereof e.s shal l not be so expreseed . 11

You ,1111 see from the title of t h e Act t hat its purpose was
to protect ch ildren and insofar that i t does so there can be no
Constitutional objection , however, i t went beyond that purpose
and in Section 5 , set out above , it prohibited the employment
of 11 any 't~roman ~~ ~~ * of any age 11 ~hich , i n my opinion, is a subject
not included in the title of the Act and not germane thereto o
Therefore, 1f you should attempt thG enfor cement of the penal
provisions of the Act you might be conf r ont ed with it s i nvalidi ty .
tihen I discovered the above s ituat ion - 'l;·! hich would not be
noticed without examining the Original Act a s pa ssed in 1890 I thought it might be cured by the general revisions end compila tions of our laws made in 1899 , 1910, 1920 and 1931, but, strange
as it may seem, the Legislature h a s never adopted any of them .
So , as I view the question, the provisions of the Act are the same
a s originally enacted.

While in the above I have questioned the legality of the
penal statute to the extent that it applies to women worki ng in
coal mine employments, other than clerical, it does not necessarily follow that the constitutional provision {Sec. 3 of Articl e
9) is rendered impotent through l ack of legislation to facilitate
its enforcement for if the const i tutional provision is selfexecuting, as it appears to be , i t probably could be enforced
in a oiv11 action.
You: s ver y truly,
Loui s J. O'Marr
Atto rney General

1969
Mr . E. McAuliffe:
Referring to your inquiry concer ni ng whe ther the
l aws of \'lyom1n g are vi ol a t ed by the empl oyment of l1omen at
the tippl e of various mine s:
Arto 9, Sec. 3, Constitution of Wyoming , provides:
No boy under the age of fou r teen years and no
woman or girl of any a ge shall be employed or permi t ted to be i n or about any coa l, iron or other
dangerous mi nes for the pur pose of employment therei n ; provided, however, thi s pr ovi sion shall not affect the employment of a boy or femal e of suitable
age i n an offic e or i n t he performance of cleri cal
~-Jorli: . at s uch mine or col l i ery . 11
11

This constitutional pr ovision s erves t o decl a re t h e policy
of the state but is not sel f - enfo r cing and no penalty is
provi dedo
Sec. 20-106, Wyo. Revo Stat . 1931 , provides:
"Any per son who shall t ake, receiv e , hire or
employ, either i n his or her own behal f, or a s the
agent, s ervant or employ e of any person , persons,
a s socia tions of persons, co-partnership, company ,
corporati on, any boy or male child under t he age of
fourt een years, or any ·woman or girl of any age, or
shall allow or permit the said persons to be in or
about any coal, iron or other danger ous mine , or
underground works or dangerous pl a ce whatsoever in
t his stat e, for t he purpose of employment therein
or thereabouts, shall be fined not l e s s than t wentyfi ve dollars , nor more than one hundred dollars to
which may be added i mpr isonment in t he county jail
not more t han six months ; provi ded, however, that
the provisions of this section shall not affect or
appl y to the employment of a boy or f emale of suitable age in an of fice , or 1n t he performance of
clerical work at such mine, colliery or place _11

�r

Mr. E.McA.

July 14, 1944

It \-Jill be noted that the language of the statute
plainly forbids the employment of "any t·1oman or girl of any
age," this without reference to occupationo The l anguage
is much too broad to be limited to employment of the ·woman
or girl in or about a coal mineo Note the disjunctive "or"
after the word 11 age 11 , 11 or 11 being follm-ied by the language
which prohibits 11 the s a id persons to be in or about any
other dangerous mine -}:• {:•, 11 the necessary construction of
the sta.tute leading to an absurdity and is something that
obviously the legislature never intended and which in my opinion would make the statute unconst1tut1ona lo

,·

This section of the statute was enacted as Seco 5

of Chapo 20, Session Laws of t'Jyoming, 1890-91, Nhich a ct

·was entitled, 11 An Act Relating to the Care, Custodjr and Binding Out of Children, and Providing Punishment of Persons
\1ho cruelly Treat or Neglect Themo II That portion of the act
relating to ,;•1omen was unconstitutional at the time of its
enactment because of violation of Seco 24, Art. 3 of the
Constitution of Wyoming, which provides : HNo bill, except
general appropriation bills and bills for the codification
and general revision of the laws, shall be passed containing
more than one subject, which shall be clearly expressed in
its title ; •::• &lt;:11 A purpose to prohibit or regulate the employment of women was not reflected in the title of the act
l-Jhioh dealt only with 11 the care, custody and binding out of
children and providing punishment of persons who cruelly
treat or neglect them. 11

There have been three revisions of the Wyoming
statutes since the section referred to was enacted, but in
none of them can I find a purpose to breathe life into what
was a dead statute at the time of the revisiono
If we assume the validity of the a ct and that it
conta1 ns a valid prohibition against permitting women II to
be in or about any coal, iron or other dangerous mine, 11 the
question would arise whether the work these women do in
picking rock from the conveyors at the tipple comes within
the prohibition of the statute.
The statute in question does not :itself define
"mine. 11 This term is, however, defined in the Wyoming Workmen's Compensation Act, the definition being, however,
limited to the purposes of the compensation act; but, as so
defined., "mine II includes the appurtenant structures or

'1

�#r. E.McA.

machinery at or about the opening s of the mine and any adjoining or adjacent workplace where the material from a mine
is pr epared for use or shtpmento In my opinion the definition given in the compensa tion a ct is without purpose in
determining ,-1hat 1s prohibited by Sec o 20-106 o Help should
be had in determining the meaning of the language in consideration of the purposes of the act, the purpose undoubtedly being to protect boys of tender years and women and
girls from the dangers of a certain empl oyment, and while
the word 11 nbout 11 in the statute is one of some ela sticity,
it ordinar,-l y means, as used here, 11 in close proximity toa 11
Obviously the t hing f orbidden is the employment in such
close proximity to the mine as to subject the protected employee to the hazards or dangers incident to the mi ningo
While not familiar with the m&amp;.nner in which these
female em:9loyees perform their work, as I understand it I
see nothing more hazardous about their employment than there
would. be if they ,-,ere employed to pick rock out of the coal
moving on a conveyor belt of some kind after it had been
loaded, shi:9ped and reached a point extremely remote from
the mine.
There has never been a construction of the act by
the 1.·1yom1ng court, and w1 thout this no one can say exactly
the view the court l-Ji l l take, but because of the things
?Ointed out in this letter and the apparent attitude of the
Wyoming authorities I would regard the empl oyment of the
women as attended with no substantial danger.

uaa that Alle.1 and l!i gro advised District ?resident Carey of
their 1ntent1on t o recoooend t o llr. Leu is that all operators be
regui red to dismiss the t·ro□en t-1orkera, other than those em.ployed

On July 7th and 8th, Alfred Carey, President, and Virgil

The state inspector 'tfas interested in the matter

from a desire to obtain an ·opinion that u ould protect him and hi s

not ~ant an opinion f~om him, he having stated to the0 and the State

TTith you, it ey particular thought that the matter be then sub□itted

to the head of the Solid Fuels Department, Secr etary Ickes,

If a strike

is threatened, 1 think we should immediately ask that the mines be

RECEIVED

JUL6 1944
PRES!DENT's OFFICB

Omaha - July 5, 1944

I

.I

Mr . Wo M. Jeffers:
I mentioned to you per sonally the threat made by
President Alfred Carey, District 22 , U .M. \·Jo of A. , to order
the dismissal of the women employed around our mines , which ,
on June 18, were 98 in number, many of t he se working on the
tipples cleaning coal , others working in the shops, et c .
Mr . Carey, in a letter written July l p 1943, author i zed the
employment of these women, who are all members of the mine
workers' union, that is, they pay an initiat ion fee immediately
after their employment, with subsequent monthly payment s of
union and hospital dues .
,1e

could use 400 additional men at the present time

and are making extraordi nar y and expensive ef fort s to recruit,
which work has been carried on for some t wo years .

Mr . Ca rey

is not sympathetic with the order , which was brought to a oonolusion by the recommendations of two out- of-state repr esentatives of the national union, sent out by ¥..r. Lewis .
I have agreed to take no action until I receive formal
copy of the mandate, and I wil l get together figure s on labor
turnover and absenteeism, the latter reaching appalling proportions this week, perhaps submitting same to Secretary I cke s
and Chairman McNutt of the WMC .

In any case , I will discuss

the matter with you before taking formal action .

70 WOMEN WORKING

AT CARBON 1¥.llNES
More than 70 women are working in Carbon coal mines, according to John C. Forrester, manager of the U. S. Employment Office . in Price. These workers are
employed •in tipple operations and
other surface jobs. They are doing as good work as men, on an
-average, possibly a little better,
st ates William McPhie, vice president of District 22, United Mine
W orkcrs of America.
Mr. McPhie believes that women
mine workers should agree, when
.hired to give up their jobs after
the war in favor of returning soldier s.
Miners are advised not to be in
a hurry to stop work, immediately after receipt of notice to report i
for physical examination for army
service.

MURRAY HILi.. 2-8673

September 17, 1943

Mr. Eugene McAuliffe, President

The Union Pacific Coal Company

1416 Dodge Street
Omaha 2, Nebraska
Dear Mr. McAuliffe:

Thank you very kindly for your wire declining to have photographs
made of your women workers. We appreciate thoroughly that it involves your
company policy and we heartily subscribe to your desires in the matter.
Our regret is that we could not use it because we believe it would have gained
wide currency and would have been helpful in pointing up one aspect of the
bituminous coal industry, that is, that coal mining is basically a man' s job
and is a war manpower problem of the first magnitude.
In answer to your question the Institute, which is an a£filiate of
the National. Coal Association was organized to conduct a long range, broad
gauge public rel.ations prografu for the bi~ous coal industry "_1hiru:1 includes
publicity, educational projects and advertisil;g. Our general obJecti~es are
to keep the public sympatheticall y coal conscious, show how coal is aiding·the
war ei'f'ort show that coal is modern, progressive, has glamour, is the best
fuel for h~me and industry and of particular importance, to svd.tcb the public
mind :from its unfortunate connations about the industry in its social and
economic aspects.
In your excellent periodical "Employee' Magazine" which you hav.e so
graciousl.y sent. on to us - and which I have personally read .from cover to
cover - I observed a reference to the "Ol d Timers Association". Would you
be kind enough, i.£ this organization is composed of bituminous coal miners,
to ascertain .for us its approximate size, the number of years worked in the
mines by the various members and apy information about the men themselves
that would have a personal warmth. We have lately learned of a somewhat
similar organization in Bluefield, West Virginia o.f a "50 Year Club" that
embr aces almost 600 members. This is startling to the l ayman. Who in the
hell ever heard of a coal miner working 50 years, or even living that long?
Public attention drawn to facts o.f this kind will serve to show by indirection
that coal miners live long, that the work could not be too dangerous, that
all do not die obviously from silicosis and in spite of certain public
utterances to the contrary, that the coal mining fraternity is a thoroughly
happy one. Along this l ine we are hopeful that vii.th t~e passing of not too

much time we can develop 25 and 50 yea:r clubs of bituminous coal miners
throughout the entire United Sta tes that should have a saluta:ry effect upon
public opinion.

I wish that I might be able to promise a visit to your ntilles in Utah
because I happen to b~ a native far westerner myself, coming from the Pacific
northwest. Hpwever, I do hope that I may get to your properties eventually.
In the meantime I am wondering if you will be in Cleveland next month at the
meeting of the National Coal Association. If you plan sc to be, please advise
me at what hotel you plan to register so that I may have the pleasure of
meeting you in person.
Thank you for your several courtesies and knou that we are here to
be at your constant service in creating better public relations for the
industry.
Yours

H1tuminous Coal Institute
Urges New England to
Use B.ltu::rninous Coal
Boston, .Ma&amp;s .. Aug. 3O.-(Special Correspondence)..:...Governors of six New
England states were urged to consider
the use of bituminous coal in greater
quantities to prevent a threatened fuel
shortage among domes tic consumers next
winter. In a letter to the governors of
r.Iaine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts,
\ ' ermon t, Rhode Island and Connecticut,
Harry :\I. Va\\'ter, director of the Bituminous Coal Institute, pointed out there
is 110 shortage of bituminous coal, and
that none is anticipated.
:\fr. Vawter also stressed that many
New England families have been using
bituminous coal for heating purposes for
many years and that through proper
firing instructions thousands of home
O\\'ners who heretofore used· other fuel
may efficiently burn bituminous coal next
winter. He also offers these instructions.
"It is true that bituminous coal is the

Ur. Eugene McAuliffe

President

Union Pacific Coal c~mpany
U. P. Headquarters Building
Omaha, Nebraska

Dear Mr• McAuliffe:

I am writing at the suggestion of Mr. Nobel Snider of the Consolidation Coal

Company here.

You may or ma;y not be familiar with the fact that a group of the operators
have establis!led this educational and public relations bureau as an industry wide
activity. Undoubtedly you are conversant with the several false starts that have
been made in the past. This time it is fully under r1ay.
Tie h nve been very much interested in ascertaining the part of \7omen, if any,
in coaJ. mining. Our inf'ormation is that there has been a general superstition
legend or ostracization of female workers, ,,hi c..li is in sharp contradistinction to
the large number of nomen in other branches of heavy industry, such as ship building,
railroading, etc. Nobel Snider says it is his impression, hor,,ever, that you do have
some \7omen em,;_)l.oyees. He \78.S uncertain whether they i7ere ,,orking in the tipple, in
the mines, or about the mine head. If' you do have '17o.ne.&gt;'l coal miners it would be an
interesting publicity story ,1hich \7e uould like to get :from you and release nationally.
If so, would you be kind enough to give us any details about iiomen in mines,
such as \7here they work, are they unionized, does the union object to their i1orking,
horr do they compare with men ~orkers , what percentage of rromen rrorkers are there to
:nen ,., orkers, what is the legend or basis of superstition against women working in
the mines, any colorful incidents or personalities about the uomen in the mines; in
general, \7hatever in.formation you could pass on that ~·,ould be of interest to the
public.
":Te would also appreciate any news of national interest that may happen in
your activities :from time to time. If' you publish a house organ 11e t1ould be
pl.eased to be placed upon your lists.

Thank you in advance for any courtesy extended.

a conferenc e with Alfred Carey t oday, on the
emplo~r·rment o

v,omen 1· n our s h o ps an d around our tippl es , t he protest

by hlr. Alb e rt Robe r t s to }f.r . John L. Lewis, Hr . Lewi s passing
e st back to M
r . Carey to handle.
I

Ur . Bayl es s t o ld t!.r . Car ey that n e wer e going to cont i nue to

l ep those Vionen i n our employ. and add to the number of them wherever
possibl y could, and that if the v des i r ed to take it to court, i t would
be entirely satisfactor ~ to us .

No judge today would give us an adverse

decision, i n v iew of t he fact that so ria.ny women a re being employed in
industry i n t he United St at es, and the Gove r nment i s asking that many
more be e mployed to t ake the plac e of men during t he wa r period.
IT . Carey stated he advised Mr. Lewi s that t he t'lOCTen who were
employed in our shops and around our tipples are no different than the
many thousands being employed on railroads throughout the count r~r, and

on the Union Pacific Railroad, where a great many ~~men are employed
to do similar work.
The whole thing simmers down to the fact tha t Albert Roberts
i s making polltical medicine a gainst Carey, as, within t wo weel{s, nominations will be made for district officials, and Roberts wants t o participate, as usual .
I don ' t think anything further will come of the complaint.
certainly we cannot afford t o back down .

The ·:,omen a re gi ving us good

service , and it would require the same number of men to .fill t heir places,
those men not available at the present time.

�2

L~. Carey also a dvis e d Mr. B~yless, pr ivately , that the

all set for a fini s h f i .~ht with the u. M. 11. of A. ,
John L. Lewis, and that was t he reason tha t Lewis appealed

to the A. F. of L . for re- admission, a nd he was supported in t h is by
both Green and l,iurra.,v, who were not in favor of the Administration I s
plans to break the U. M. H. of A.
This attemot on the part of Roberts to inject himself into
the Mine· .iorkers I election situation is nothing nevi, and we mar expect
more of this from Roberts and other aspirants to office during the
Ca'llpaign , ,·1hich 1·1 ill occupv s everal weeks.

/it, John u. Loomis, General Attorney

Cheyenne, Wyoming

Dear Mr. Loomis :

Re: Women employed at coal mines

Vie have
r
!fr. McAuliff a_ copy O your letter of January 13, 1943, addressed to

l'lith
e l.n regard to the above subject, and although we agree
yo your general analysis of the matter, we would like to submit for
ur consideration the following views:
Vie agree that a constitutional amendment would be entirely too

cumbersome and would take too long to obtain, even if the people were
favorable to it .
Relative to getting a law through the Legislature, such as you
suggest, it is our opinion Mr. John L. Lewis is definitely opposed to
the employment of wanen in connection with any coa1 mining operations,
and although it is possible that local labor might not affirmatively
oppose the enactment of such a statute, we are of the opinion it v,ould
be impossibl.e to get its cooperation, and that it would not be inclined
to go on record in favor _ of' such an e~ctment.
.
ll we could obtain an opinion from the present attorney- general,
somewhat simi1ar to that written by Mr. Kerr, it might be helpful in
the event any- dif'ficu1ty should _arise.
It seems to us the word "a.bout" or •11 thereabouts" can either ·Jiave
a restricted or a broad meaning and we are inclined to believe that
under present circumstances ·in view of the general policy of the
government and in view of the war necessities, a Court would not
extend these words to cover the particular operations involved, if
i t could reasonably avoid it.
These rock pickers who are ;egregating the impurities from the
coal. at some distance from the mine itself; could vecy ,vell be
cl.assi.fied as engaging in a processing operation and not in a coal
mining operation. As to the machine shops this is not necessarily
a mining operation at all. To · be sure both of these ope-rations have
a connection with coal mining but does the statute intend to prohibit
every kind and type of employment that has any connection with coal
mining, ~r done on the physic~ property of the company.
Perhaps we are in error, but we feel that this statute should
be given a reasonable interpretation in accordance with the necessities
of the hour.

�I
rt is not the purpose of this letter to disagree with your views

.,
the necessities of the situation, coupled with the fact that this ·

nation is at war; that this railroad must be operated; coal must be

I

produced; meat and food must be raised and distributed( men must. be
provided for the Axmy, and all these requirements must be given consideration at the present moment. This is not to argue that the
necessities of a nation at War changes the law, but rather that in
t he interpretation of laws, Courts will stretch their II judicial
conscience" a long ways in the public interest and properly so.
Sincerely,
(sgd)

Lewis H. Brown.

McAuliffe - Omaha
Re: Vlomen employ ees at coal mineso
Re~lyi~g to y our letter of January $th, in addition
t o the constitutional provision quoted b y you there is the following statutory provision:
11

20-106 o Any person who shall take, receive, hire or
employ, either in his or her own behalf, or as the agent,
servant or employe of any person, persons, a s sociations of
persons, co-partnership company, corp oration, any boy or
male child under the age of fourteen years, or any woman
or girl of any a g e, or shall allow or permit the said
p ersons to be in or about any coal, iron or other dangerous mine, or underground works or dangerous place whatsoever
in t his state, for the purpose of employment therein or
t her eabouts, shall be fined not less than twenty-five dollars, nor more than one hundred dollars to which may be
added imprisonment in the county Jail not more than six
months· ·urovided, ho~ever, that t he provisions of this section shall not affect or apply to the employment of a boy
or female of suitable a ge in an off ice, or in the p erformance of cJ.erical work at such mine, colliery or place."

Your inquiry is with reference to women rock nickers
on the tipples, and women employee in the ma.chine shops:
In my opinion both the constitutional provision and
the statute are ambiguous with respect to their applicability
to such employments.
However I believe the statute is less
ambisuous than the constitutional provision and that our courts
n ouJ.d probably hold that the statute at least applies to the
rock pickers. \7hether it would be held to apply to the workers
in the machine shops would, in my opinion, be less certain.
The element of danger might become important in that connection.
You will note the constitutional provision prohibits the
employment or presence of women in or about any coal, iron or
other dangerous mines for the purpose of employment therein .
The statute, however, makes such prohibition apply to employment therein or thereabouts.
Therefore the statute is apparently much broader in application than the constitutional
provision.
The _only certain way of avoiding the provisions of
the constitutional provision would be by const itutional amendment. This would require a vote of the peopl e and would be
cumbersome, and it is doubtful, in my opinion, nhether it
could be accomplished.

I believe we must take a
t·
uation and sugg e s t the following : prac ical view of the sit-

the ambia- It is prob~ble that a leg islative interpretation of
consider~~~~se¥~ovision of the constitution would be given
prohibitions
ec~hby the Supreme Court . There are some other
which
rha upon u e employment of women in other industries
Th
pe
ps also should be avoided during the \var emergency.
n ' ehtenactment _of the following provision by the legislature
ug accomplish the desired purpose:
11

During the present war emergency and for :six months
thereafter, _ or until further action by the legislature, it
shall.not be unlawful, notwithsta nding existing statutes
of this state, to empl oy, without restriction, women or
children uho are over the age of sixteen years in any otherwise lamul emp loyment, except in the interior of mines
and in such other employments as the following elective
officers of the state, that is the Governor and Secretary
of State, the State Auditor, t he State Treasurer, the
Superintendent of Public Instruction, or the majority of
them, shall specifically determine to be too dangerous for
the employment of such women or children. Provided that
such t1omen and children shall be paid on the same overtime
basis as men in similar employments, and provided, further,
that existing laws ui th respect to the employment of women
and children under the age of eighteen years shall remain
in full force and effect."

I believe it would be necessary to get the co-operation
of labor to pas s such a statute. Uith such co- operation I believe it could be passed .
After consideration I will appreciate your further
instructions.
If any such action is to be taken, it is my opinion
that 1 t should be taken promptly.
Very truly yours,

At our conference in Mr. Bayless 1 s off ice on Saturda,y, November

21st, Mr. Carey brought up the matter of Pclivments for women on our
t i pples .
lvir. Carey stated tha t he was perfe ctly agreeable to the ma.tter Is
being handled in accordance with my letter to you of October 17th,
showj_n g that the women should be paid $5 . 23 f or a six-months ' period,
ina smuch as they could not change the screens and do work of that kind .
Ho;,:ever, as a question had come up from one of our districts , not from
the women but from the men, ,·re t old wr. Carey that if any controversy
crone up we would pay the ~6 . 44 r at e , this being the same as the rate
paid men for similar work.

I am attaching herewith cop~ of letter written by Mr. Bayless

OFFICE OF SOLID FUELS COORDINATOR FOR WAR
For Immediate Release

d
Solid Fuels Coordinator Harold L. Ickes said today that the coal mining in~stry, faced with a shortage of manpower, has begun to hire women to keep pace
with the Nation 1 s expanding wartime fuel requirements .
He said that the gravity of the growing mine manpower problem is emphasized
by _a telegram received from Eugene I'1cAuli.f.f, .Omaha, Nebraska, president of the
U~ion Pacific Coal Company, stating that the company had hired ·22 women at its
lll.ine at Rock Springs, Wyoming. Half o.f them are to work in the mine shops and the
remainder are to pick slate on mine tipples . The company is a subsidiary of the
Union Pacific Railroad.
Coal production ihvolves grimy, hard, phdyfsical labotr~ whi~h tfhrequ~ntly is
hazardous. Although women have been emp1 oye
or genera 1ons 1n e nu.nes of
other countries coal production had been reserved traditionally for men in the
United States ~rior to the present manpower situation. However, no instance has
been reported' yet v.here women are being substituted for actual mining or other
underground work in Atnerican mines.
The coal mi.ning industry has experienced a net loss of more than 50,000 men
since January 1, 1942 according to surveys made by the Solid Fuels Office, and
reports indicate that'the ms.npower situation is becoming progressively worse.
These losses are due to men entering military service, or shifting to other war
industries. The situation is more acute in some sections than in others, and in
certain inst&amp;nces the lack of manpower is seriously limiting production capacity.
Coordinator Ickes has requested producers and mine labor to eliminate the
provisions in existing industry wage agreements that limit the number of hours
that miners can be employed in the production of coal to 35 per week.

stay on the job and get out oocl.
If I uer(3 to give these women a fair brea!t :in the ri1atte:!!&gt;

to hf_v1ng their pictures taken in the mine tipples, ~,:hich would •

Dear Sirs 0
I wrote the Rock Springe Rocket some weeks ago asking
their picture editor if he would be able to supply me ,11th a photo-

g?'§\l)h of one of the ,-,omen you have hired to work in your coal mineo
I have bad no answer to my letter so am appealing to you in hopes
you can arrange for such a photograpJ\ in view of the puvlici t y it

will give the Union Pacific Coa l Company. (We are perfectly willing to

I

I am preparing for LOOK magazine a feature showing women de-

ing jobs formerly held by men. Not factory jobs but civilian jobs
like driving ta.xis, lobster-fishing. cleaning locomotives and mining.
The type of photograph U&gt;OX wants is an action shot of one
of the g1.rl.e workiD&amp; in the mine, picking slate or whatever looks
most realistic. If she wears overallj, a miner's cap and a dirty
face---a.ll the better. We want down to earth realism.
May I hear from you whether or not this can be arrangedT I
mu.et plan my layout soon and should hate to omit a Rocle Spri.ngs
mining woman unless I have no chance of getting a picture.

Dear Mr. McAuliffe,
• Thank you for your letter (014) of November 9th in r eference
to pho~raphs of women ,-, orkin~ on your mine tipples.
I hope my letter wa.e not misleading. Ne.tu1•a lly l had no idea
of the nature of the uork these women o.re doing, hence my reference to miners'
ca.pa. Our approach to the ariticle which 1 am preparing on women ~ing over
~

where the men have dropped out due to the draft, is in deadly ~est. LOOK
,.-111 attempt to illus trate that all war jobs for ,·,omen are not glamour and

.

acetylene torches. Tb.e.t i:iany humdrum Jobe mu.et be taken over while our 111en

~ts of this total war. ~hese women are

fight for freedom on the far flung f

doing caa mu.ch towards winning the war as anyone. They are the women behind the
home front. They drive trucks and taxis and buses, they cut hair and fish for
l.o'bster and work in your mine. Do you see what 1 mean?
Perhaps '9his letter will explain better the purpose of the
article and perhaps you will agree to let us have a photograph of one of your
,-,omen at work on one of the coal tipples!
May I hear from you as soon as possible on this as my story
should go to press as soon as can be arranged.
Sincerely,

PATRICIA CQ]'FIN

William Paulenko, Edxmrd. iJovnk, • md Jou~1i:. wson u0ro cnploycd in th:ki
place, they hnd just fired tr, A ots oqu::ir·in -the pl0.cc up in prepeJ;"ation

croscba.r close to the f n.co. All three ·t;srG in tho ~ct of roootting this
bar r4len the roof collapsed witbou.t ruw . arnine, ldllin~ Paulonko;

seriousl.3 injuring Larson and slightly :iJ1jm"'ing movclc.

\'men the roof coll psed, it broke three crosGbar~ 't' lich \·;•ore set a.bout
four feet apart. The crossbars uood in this p].uce \, re fou.rtccn foot

This Department feel.a that if tho crossbars had boen co11ter propped Ql'ld.
safety props at tho .orldng face betr;cm the lo.st crossbar and tho coal

interest ed in knowing j us t wha t employee of the

Coal Company have bee n classified as engaged in extr aw_hazp..r dou~

Treasury fo r t he be nef i t of the I ndus t r i a l Accident Fund, l - l/2%
of t he moneys earned by such empl oye so

In other words, as I

understand the l aw, the Co~l Company i s not r equired to pay 1-1/2%
of the wages of all of its employee but only those engaged in
extra hazar dous e~pl oyment and I desire t .o be assured that we
Office a nd Store Department
are paying only wha t ie r equired.
employee are as I take it , not engaged i n extra haza rdous employment and it may b e that certain of the gr ound men in the service
should not be s o classified.

No doubt the s t ate has been called

upon to interpre t the 1aw and possibly has issued a list of
employee to be regarded a s engaged in extr a hazardous employment
and if s o, I would be gl ad to have you send me a. copy of t he
ruling.

�If you have not already arranged. to do so, perhaps
it would be we~l to have your Auditor check the amounts and
returns made by the Union Pacific Coal Company to assure us
that we are making payments only as axe required by t~e lawo

An injured compa ny official is

Judge V. J . Tidball of the Second I

Guy S. Weston claim&lt;id roimbursee ment for injuries r eceiYed while 1n
s the employ of the Consolidated Cop•. per comp.my at Euc,unpment. The

_ claim. Fol1o,\-ini; t lte usual prnoed- '

2 TrPrasurer A. D. Hoskins for pa.y- tt

Mr. Hoskilw, howl',·er, had access n:

Dear Sir :
Refer ring to questionna ire sent out by
Ao D. Hoski ns , Stat e Treasurer, hav i ng referen ce
to cont empla ted c hanges in the compensation l aw,
I am enclos ing herewith , copy of my reply.
Think this m~t ter should. receive our vigorous consider a tion, and protest agains t the State
Treasurer, or any other State Officer taking upon
himsaJ. f by way of r ecommendation or otherwise, the
e st a blishment of s ome form of commis s ion or other
expensive method which will increase the cost of
compensation, a nd reduce the net result to the
employee.
I have therefore sent out notices calling a
meet i ng at Rock Springs, January 2nd, and feel that
the operator s should get to geth er a nd fight vig orously, the questions contained in this questionnaire.
Yours truly,

LP:LM

My dear Mr .

Brooks:·

I was very gl ad to hear from you regarding your
opinion of t he Wyoming Workmen's Compensation Law.
On Sunday I had a conference which was attended
by a number of representa tives of labor 9 the St ate Mine
Inspector 9 and Mr. William Sammon, who has charge of the
admini stration of this law. The more we discussed the
mat t e·r the more doubtful I became as to the amendments and
changes that appeared to be necessary. I am not an expert
on wor1onen' s compensation. It is a very complicated matt er a...~d after listening to those who seemed to know so much
mor e about it than I it was difficult for me to arrive at
any p os i t i ve conclusion. I will say, 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 should be amended to include practically all workmen
within the State; second, ~he amount paid for temporary
to t al 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 getti:ng
along pretty well .
Very truly yours,
,

Rock Springs, Wyomingo

My dear Mro Brooks:Your. letter of December 23r,d reached me i n due

s e a son, e-..nd have endeavox·ed to comply w1 t h your reque st,
but for 1~e a.sone herei na,fter enumerated have be en unable t o
do so promp t ly o

In the fir 13t plaoe the r eport for the year ending
October 31, l.920 shoul d have been out of the pr inter s ' hands

long before thi s , but f or some r eason is not yet off t he press.
I have been waiting to get thi s year •a exper i enoe, as I have
no doubt this is t he one you would desi re t he most. Even the
reports of l ast year are hard t o get, and am having the
•
Olympia office send you some di rect , hoping you may f ind
information i n t hem that will be beneficial i n your work there.
Several co~i es of the Mining code, together wi t h amendments
of the l egisl ature of 1919 are being sent under separate cover ,
as per your r equ eato
As to the personal feature in dealing with administ :rati ve problems, I am inclined t o t he:.be:l:ief that most states
a.re top-heavy with oommi esions., resulting in a great deal of
wa.ete of the t axpayers ' money, merely paying poli tibal debts
in a large number of cas e s to men who may be good politioians
but l ack admini strati ve and eseoutive ability, not to speak of
intens e i nterest i n the work assigned the• •
Ae to my opinion regardi ng t he personnel suggested

by you r law, were men to f all into the hands of a just judge,

,-...

they would indeed be fortunat e, but an act of this kind should be
as f ar remo ved f r om legal and fi nanc i al interests as it is possible
fo r t hem to get, and plaoed in th e hands of upright, unbiased
admini strato!'a whose sole objeot would be to administer the law
e~ui t ably and considerately to all parties concerned.
Different
stat es have had different exper iences, and I am loath to criticise
without having eonorete fact s foT guidance, but I do think our
own l aw could be handled at muoh l ess expense than it is now.
You appreciate that the admini st ration expens e s are paid for by
general taxation, an appropr i a t i on made by the legislature for
thi s pu t"i::io ae . .And yet I am i nf ormed by Mr . Andersen that under
the Montene sy stem, wh ich i s eleotiYe as to whether they come

unde1" the state or private administration, their co.eta are lees
with higher compensation awards than are paid in our own state
Ho .tv t h is can be I have no means of determining, but such is the
statement made by Mra Andersena

I should suggest that a.side from your District Judg·e ,

some man not directly connected with the oourtp such as the

clerk, but 1·ather a public spirited citizen, either a. laboring

man or aor:)e level headed busine s s man., be en..G:rusted with the
admi nistration of your l aw. It looks too one- sided to have the
whole-hearted support of all elementa of sooietyo
This is
merely my own humble ori-'Gioism for yourself personally, and

not as expert advice for public uaeo

Misa ryashburnD the Association and myself appreciate
your greetings ., and eJtt end tbe same to yourself and Mxsa Brooks.
Hoping that you will live to see me.ny happy returns

of t~e season, and ~1th kindest personal regards, I am

I notioe o n ~ nine of this re~, tlJa

toot tm fund is 1n a position to oany this incnaae as the earnings for 1920 o.ro ninaty peroe:nt above tha expenditures. mo doubt

tlr:l prcduction of oil and coal, tm two oOlllDOditlea oo:ntributmg
tl:9 cost momy to tha fund uare at t lleir :beighth. I oannot speak

surpassscl all pi:evious yaa.rly .Pl"Odu.c tions and worlmd more dqs darbJg
1920 than any previous years.
As our a ssesmmnt is based u;pOll }Ja1'rOlls, this
natural~ means that we contribuiad moro money to the fmld. I tb1nk
tln condition in 1921 will be tm reverse .. I believe \710JD,1Dg tonna&amp;fl
u ill b3 much less and tba nmcber of working~ will be greatq de-

croasad. ~ will mean smllor ~ l l s and consequent~ a leaa

pensation ftmd.
!inlare is a question 1n ~ mind as to wmther
this should be done inasmuo~s tbe taxpayers and .tba state desire the workman's com,pensati~ fUnd, and in order to get it
started9 appropriated a certain amount of mcmey each year. NOW
that the workman's compensation fund bas becoma self-supporting, 1
do not believe it is right for tmm to ask tbat this money be given
back to them.
However, I do think that the amo1mt contributed
could be decreased over a period of tbree or four ye~s so that at
tha end of this time 9 tha State wou.ld be relieved of tb&amp; contribution.
I believe that State officials and particular~ the
employees are endeavoring to receive benefits from t:ba large tn:nd that
has accumulated and have entirely ignclred the employer who has created
this fund, in thai~ desire to distribute a portion of it. If tha f'aDd
has beooma top llaavy and it is the belief that it is now self-supporting 9 I think that t he rate paid by tha employer should be red'QOed possibly to one and a quarte.r percent or ona parcento
The COD:!P8nsation
to the employee incx-aases an~ tlm State gradual~ t;4 relieved of its
contributiO~o
•
I think wa should not lose sight of thl faot tllat
their are thrae parties interested in this i'mld9 the e:q&gt;loyer, th&amp;
employee and t ha state. It is interesting to note the awards made
for injuries during the existence of the workmen• s com;pensation.
Thsse are show in ths fourth report and tl:Ja supplenant report, and
I lis t t llam below for your infornation:First Period

You will note that the awards for 1njuries ha.'98
gradually inoreasad each year. ~ s no doubt, being dm to the fao"t
that tha workmen's coJii)8llsation law is gradualq extend.mg tlB scope
of its wor-It and :naturally more injuries a1'8 comiDg 1:111der ita jur1ad1ction9 so that 1 feel that during 1921 the departnant will be faced
t1ith an increased amount of awards with decl'9aeed receipts.
I believe that tha idea of having a coDIDission to
handle this compensation is a dead issue as it seems that all &amp;Jll)lOJ9ra
and eDW,loyees are opposed to it, and while it has been advocated in
tha Treasure-r's report 9 I do not believe it will becOJD9 an issue.
1 tallmd wit h M;ll'tin Cahill and Janes Jlorgan quite
a number of tines. I believe that they are very reasonable 1n their
dellB.llda from the standpoint of t he employee. Morgan aeema to teal
that \"iYOming •hould be a t tm head of t~ 11st of all ot:ber states
in its co?qpensation to employees, but I believe this la goblg a li~tle
strongo I think records shOw that out of tlla forty fi'98 states aud
ts:rritories, that W7oming ranks fit"teenth in tlB amount of compensation.
Or in other words, \?YOming is in the first third which I. think is ex.Ji
fba.t our ooiqpensatlon law is
oo llent position conside

about only five years oldo While I believe it would be nide for
our state to head the 11st, I hardly ithink. it 3,s just the time for
us to increase the compensation too much.
There are quite a number ot otmr minor correct-

ions of tlla law which Will COD8 up, but I do not believe tbay Will
affect tha emploJer one way o:r another.
If at any time I can be of assistance, I will be
very glad to have you call on ma.

Dear Mr o Brooks:! have your letter of the 11th and I
consider the thought as expressed therein an
excellent idea.
The doctors certainly do not come through
with reports so as to be abl e to settle matters
promptly; and furthe1°more 9 i t is getting so that
they are leaning more towards the miners than the
companies; as they get their appointments and election from the miners, it will be neoessary for us
to impress them, i n some way, so that we will get a
fair deal and prompt action o

I very much favor your scheme. and I will
be glad to participateo
I take it the ex~ense of
this matter will be borne by Southern Wyoming Coal
Operators Associationo
Yours truly,

PJQ-P.

Mr o Eo S . Brooks 9
P r e s i a en t,
Rock Springs, ~iyoo ,
De ar Sir:

Re fe rr ing to your lett er of September 14, relative
to the reporting on ou r summary received from the Workmen's

Compensa.tio n Department of the n ames of men in the service of
t he John Wo - Hey Coa 1 Ccmp any, Hanna , Wyoming, who are injured
from time to time:
Upon receipt of your letter I wrote Mr • .A. D. Hoskins,
State Treasurer" who is in ohare;e of the Workmen's Compensation

Department, and he advises under date of September 19, as follows:
"Replying to your letter of the 17th
instant, beg to advise you that at no time have we
considered the Jobn fl. Hay Coal Company as a subsidiary
of the Union Pa cific Coal Company, and that we have .not,
charged any of the award s to employees of the John w.
Hay Coal Company to the Union Paci~ic Coal Company funds."
From this letter I assume that we have not been charged
with any payments which should have been charged to the John W.
Hay Coal Company.
Yours respectfully,

Dear Sir:A fev,.r iays ago a committee of four men
representing the Local Uni9n here,came in to see
me and put in a claim for ~) 100000 for-· the burial
of Ja,mes Dumas ,a miner who 1tJas killed by going b~k
on a shot,he had. lit up in his room in Moa7½ mine
0':1 24th day of IJarche

Thls clai:a1 they SE'id. was 5-n line with the
last fol1r lines of paragraph D of Section 19 of V'lark1aen Corr:1:,ensa.tion .J..ct of this state which reads:
-- ~Tnen death, results :from an tnjury
the expense of burial,shall be paid
not to exceed On!? Hundred Dollars
( $ 100. 00) in any case unless other
arrangements exist between employer
and employee under a~reemmt.

----

9

I referred them to page ten of our agre~ment which cove rs cases of this kind where in the

}!liners contribute $ 1. 00 per man, ·1nd the compe.ny
0 50.00 which in WY opinion relieves the company
from pa:7ing this ~ lOOeOO,but they contend th~t t is·
is cor.:trm.bu.ted fol' the bene'.fi t of the dependents ,and

not for burmal purposes.

Later they took this question up with J mes
1'.Iorgan,and they tell me th&amp;.t he sustains them in rtht tr
cla im•,a.nd I u.nderstand that they are now taking t. is up

Dear Sir:The following ecli t oxtal appeare d in the riyomi ng State Tribune
issue of October 6th.

il_~he newspa pers of Uyomi ng have been convinced that the rtorltmen 's
Compensa tion act need s r evising. J~very industry is :placed on the
extra ha za rdous li s t. The follon ing :from the Wyoming State
Journa l a t Lander throws some light on the situation..,
The i'lyomi ng ·Jor kme n rs Com-pe n s a ti~n act needs amending BI·bou.t as
badly as a ny of t he laws on t h e st a tute books. All industri•es
that come un der its provisions -cay the same flat rata regard,lesa
of the hazard of e mploymen+, . For instance, print shops pay· tJ,..e
same a s c )a l mines r.hen as a mat t er of f act, since the passage
of this lav; n ') printer in the enti r e state bas been s.e:tinualy
injured, except one and he r.as a homesteader on the stde andL hie
t eam r an av;•a;1 and nearly kill ed him while he was out v~orking on
his home~tead. Some of the newspapers of Wyoming have r-a id!. as
much as ,~3,000 into this f und ri i thout any of their emp•lo,yes'
ever having had occasion to call for relief. The tax· ought .
rightly to :fall upon the more hazardous forms of employment. 11
~hough} perhaps you might hav:e o"ve:r-looked this and wa.nted to call
it to your attention.
For you.r information, I have s ent a copy of this to r.,i r .. Quealy,
Yours truly.

Superintende nt s r el y too much on Mr . Taliaferro to

decid e the ext ent of compensa tion.
I wish y ou would t al&lt;e up with all
Sup erinte ndents in the Rock Springs field, advising
them tha t they should per s onally check the employee::1
cl ai ms b efo-re they r each ~Sr. Taliaferro' s office, as
a ll cla i ms shoul d be scrutini zed by the ·•.1ine Superintend e nts personally a nd not left entirely to the
judgment of the :-l ine Clerk.
Will you kindly tal&lt;e up with the ]fine

Sunerintendents

your letter?

As Mr • Talia ferro says, we must watch

careful consideration to the blanks furnished by you.

Hope

we '1:ill do some good in this connection.

The Moriyama case is just another case which shows

After our exnerience zd 1,h the .Amde r ton c a s e I think
it y,ould lJs ,vell for us to have L!I'o Wrieht exa..n1il'ltad
by a disinterested surgeon as to his physical condition, and a further exrunineation by DroStrader to
a_etermine if there has been any imp~ovement, or if
there is liable to be any iraprove~nent, in the ••double

followine mann.er "tfilile picJ.ring coa,l a piece

:f'levr and struck hiit1 in the eye"

Employers repor·t a£ Accid ent filed :.:ay 24th
1 924: voucher for ~~251 .. 6 1 for tc.u:, ora ry total
disability was mailed , by thP. Clerk of Court,
to Barvandakis on October 16th 1924.

This v1orlGnan t ·uhen r1?.I)Orti11g to Dr.Finch for
treatment, did not advise the doctor of any
previous injury,and :!)r. Jri,1ch was not a cquainted with "lihis fact until advised some "d.me
l f!,ter , by Dr.Strader,that. Barvandak:1.s had this
s~~e eye lnjurcd in 1918 while serving in the
Greek Ar.11.y.,
It appears as though l3arvandaJ.c is int ends to
base his claim for loss of vision, vrhich clai;u
he filed. in October 1924 v;i th the Clerk of ~i'le
court of Carl:ion Coubty, on a. le tter from the
cor.w1issioner of Immigration, in reply to Ba rva,ndal(is' inquiry, regarding condition of the
workman's eyes ~t the t ime of his admission to

this countryo
DI'. Finch could not state the cha.ra.ctea: of the

eAamination given the eyes of immigr~nte, but
he ii:: of the opinion that they were examined only
fo~ contagious disease.
Hc.ve v,r:ttten the commissioner of Imra.ie;ration at
):1ew York a:slting further information :regarding this
examination.

In hie report to the court,regarding thtscase.

Dr o Strao.er says "It is extremenly doubtful if the
~article of coal which the man got into the eye
had anything to do with the loss of visionoin my
opinion the lose of vision is entirely due to old
changes in the vitreous, and the vitre ous are in
all probability due to the old wa1• injury" o

In viev1 of the fact that Dr. Str'ader does not think
~hat this loes of vision wae due to injury received
in our mines , we should resist any further awards,
of any kind,to Barvandakis as it begins to look as
though nthe \7orkman was imp osing on us.

On account of the advanc ed e.ee of 'i/alton,
68 years, Dr. Finch is of the opinion that
the chances e,re very remote of the fra ctured
bones ever making a complete and servic eabl e
union, a ncl. he has little d oubt but that this
will be a case of permanent tota l disabilityo
vralton is married, lifo children, which entitles him to ~6Oo0O per wonth, at present,
fo~ temporary total disabilityo

The doctor reports t hat ,his patient has
shown a u1arked improvement .:~ ·i;he past week,
and ar&gt;pears to be getting stronger, e a.ts
heartily and sleeps well.
It would be well perhaps to allow this case
to run along for a period, of s ay si:.c i.1ont hs ,
and if at the end of this period he does not
show a marked improvement we could have an
exa.minat10:1 made with a view to final settlement.

Mr• G, B. Pryde:

Confirming our conversation September 21st:
When men employed on a monthly basis, who are not members
of the United Mine Workers Union, receive injuries disqualifying them from
service and which automatically bring them under the 'terms of the Compensation Act, the usua l report of' the accident should be made and claim
made for compensation by the individual, you to determine the amount of
compensation paid by the State, continuing to pay the individual so in-

jured the difference betV1een the amount of compensation received or
payab~e and his previous monthly salary; this arrangement to continue
for three months from date of injury, after which any case requiring
further determination should be submitted for consideration and disposition .

Curnberland, Wyo., Jan. 25th, 1926,

Mr. George Bo Pryde:

In an.swer to your letter of Jan. 19th, regarding
coal contTactors carried on our rolls and paid compensation
i11 case of injurJ , wish to say that we have never had any

accidents for which we ha ve paid them cd&gt;mpensation. We also
use our coal contractor on other terun work in cases of emergency and pay him just teamster's rate as per contract with
U.M. u. of A. He furnishes his own teams and equipment and

feeds his own horses. All v,e pay him for hauling coal is 75¢
per to.n . His earnings for the year 1925 were ~~2069.81 which
includes what extra work we give him for other hauling.

He

has to furnish

two teams and equipment for

Six months out of the twelve. I believe if we try to make

any ,c hanges from our present arr~gements we would not be
able to get this work done ·f or the price we are at present'
as our contractor does not make company wages.

Accident Compensation for Harbor
Workers Urgently Awaits
Action by Congress
By JOHN B. ANDREWS
HE introduction in Congress-by the chairmen of the judiciary
committees-of a federal workmen's compensation bill for the
relief of the group of workers most urgently in need of such protection, formally marks the opening of another chapter in one of the
most amazing developments in American labor legislation.
A third of a million "harbor workers"-engaged in the extremely
hazardous tasks of loading, unloading and repairing vessels at the
dock-are placed in a position that from any point of view is
indefensible.
Exposed to risks far greater than most factory employees are
pennitted to assume, these essential wage-earners suffer work injuries for which the individual states cannot provide accident
c-ompensation.
The longshoreman if inju,r ed-while on shor~ has the protection of
state compensation la-ws. But let him walk up the gangplank a11d
step aboard a ship with bis load and he is denied that protection.
If injured aboard a vessel his sole recourse-a damage suit-is
u.nder maritime restrictions that make it unworthy the name of
"remedy."
The compensation principle has been almost universally adopted
for work accidents elsewhere. Why are these great groups of men
in extra~hazardous empioytnents-longsh.oremen and local ship
repainnen-given a less favorable opportunity when they suffer
injury?
When the states in 1911 first enacted workmen's cortipensation
laws, they included longshoremen and repairmen at the d,ock~ as a
matter of course. These workers were so protected until the
?~Preme Court in 1917 held by a five-to-four decision that when
inJured on board a ship, the accident was "maritime" and therefore

T

�outside of state jurisdiction.1 Twice Congress attempted t
these objections a_nd remedy t~e desperate condition of th; t:e~
shoremen by specifically reservmg to them the protection of g
• h.
state
compensation laws. T he.se e_fft
orJ s, d. esp1te t eh1r characterization as
"statesmanlik~' by the ~monty ustices, were eld to be beyond the
authority of Congress m that such power delegated to the sta
would interfere with the proper harmony and uniformity of :~:
maritime law.2
It is important to note that longshoremen alone are not the only
harbor workers affected. A carpenter, an upholsterer, a painter
a machinist, a hotter maker-in short, a_n! one of the repairme~
representing no less than twenty-two different crafts involvedwhen his work takes him even for a moment on board a vessel cannot
in case of accident receive compensation under the laws of his
own state.
In holding that all such "maritime" workers throughout th,e
country must be treated with absolute uniformity, the court has
finally suggested the solution. The remedy lies in the adoption by
Congress of a law extending federal protection to harbor workers.l1
Meanwhile, America. has step by step, in state after state, discarded as unfit the outgrown and disc.redited system of employers'
liability suits for damages. Congress, also, has adopted the modem
principle of workmen's compensation for all civilian employees of the
government. Experience has shown the superior advantages of
worlanen's compensation to injured workers, to their employers,
and to the whole community.
There can be but one satisfactory remedy for local harbor
worl;(ers-a federal accident compensation law. But these men,
longshoremen and ship repairmen, are employed not only in our
seapo.rts and along the lake fronts but are scattered throughout the
country along river landings-in fact, wherever their work is to be
done upon vessels afloat. With benefits at least as liberal as
those of the compensation law in New York, where many of the

shuttled ~bout- out agam,_ m agam"-by closely divided opinions
of the highest court. Patiently_ they have exhausted every legal
approach to the local _co_mpens_atio~ remedy'. ~oth they and their
employers are now left m a situation that 1s mdefensible and unbearable.
The officers of the longshoremen's union, with the same careful
consideration that won high praise from distinguished judges for
their earlier "statesmanlike" efforts, are again utilizing every facility
at their command to reach a remedy that will be liberal to injured
workers, fair to employers, and just and stable under the constitutio.n of the United States. Other national affiliated railway and
repair workers' organizations have promptly offered their endorse•
ment and support. The American Federation of Labor, at its recent
convention, gave to the project its unanimous vote.
It is known that recently ~mployers in the shipping worldimpressed it is said by injustices and wastefulness of present conditions- have gone so far as to have their attorneys work on the
draft of a federal compensation measure.
Meanwhile, influential . labor groups with their advisors, ia
cooperation with the American Association for Labor Legislation
and several public officials, were already perfecting a hill for introduction in Congress. Having worked consistently year after year
for adequate accident compensation, the Assodation is actively
participating in this promising new movement, and will continue
its efforts until a satisfactory federal measure is in successful
operation-the most urgent next step toward the completion of
compensation protection.
.
The pending measure, which has been approved by compensation
officials throughout the country, and endorsed by the workers for
whom this protection is primarily intended, was . introduced in
Congress by the chairmen of the judiciary committees-Senator
Cummins and Representative Graham.
This bill ( s. 3170 and H. R. 9498) embodies the best feature~
of existing compensation acts. The scale of benefits is wisely based

"THE doss of longshoremen needs the pl"otaction of compe111ation as
much if not more than any other clil!l::i of workmen, Their occupa.
tion, so eS$ential to the prosperity of the tr.:ide of the United StateJ,, is
extr-a hazardous, both on account of its noture and on account of the
pressure undar which it must often be parformed. It is unjust to these
men and to their families tl1at the burden of loss resulting from thousa.ncu
of accidents a.nnually should be left by the law qo. theiJ'I shoulders. The
resulting discontent and diosotisfaction is easy to understand. The ship•
repair men fonn also -1 large dass among whom injuries are frequent,
o.nd they find it difficult to understa.nd why the carpenter, brass worker~
or plwnber employed to repnir a ship in tLe harbor ahould receive no
compensation, while if he were employed in n building on t.lie dock,
he wollld be proteded by the Stato c.ompens.ition law."-SENATOR
BORAH, in a report for the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, submitted in J92I.

!Jr• GeO •

B. Pryde :
Since talking with you the other day regarding our experience ~ith the

Nestor White Compensation Case, I have been wondering if any of the compensation
cases which t1e heve been reporting "Closed", in Report of Compensation Cases

'

Forni 11, are in fact closed, or are these cases reported as closed merely continued cases as in the Nestor \','hite Case.

Enclosed a re copies of 1;10rding of joint stipulations which are being
used in the various districts in settlement of claims for c~mpensation for the

account oi The Union Pacific Coal Company.
Please note that part of stipulation 't'Thich we use in Sweetwater County
uith reference to Final Settlement.

This form was dictated by Mr, Taliaferro for

the very purpose of avo i ding such an occurrence as the Whit.a case.

I am not sure

that this stipulation YJill answer the purpose for which it is intended or not,
but think Mr . Taliaferro has •s uccessfully resisted re-opening of a number of cases

which had been settled by Jchis form for some of the other operators whom he represents.
This form was not drawn with the idea of depriving any of our workmen
of their rights, but \".'as intended to definitely close cases where the Surgeon

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

and the

1ng board, certifying as to the percent of disability ~hich was present at the
ti.Jlle· of final examination, we stipulate with workman for an award in the amount
due

work!Jle,n, based on final report of examining board, and ti is also stipulated
,

tMJ award shall be in final settlement of all claim for compensation for this
·

part1CU

l aI' inJ· ur y sustained by workman.

If such a t hing is possible, we should adopt some standard form of word

4

ing of stipule.tion that would, \"1ithout question, definitely close these cases so
that when cases are reported to our General Solicitor as being closed we could
feel that \·,e were ccrrect in so reporting them, and not find later that our report

r.as misleading and that cases are continued instead of being closed.

Important
EFfEGl'IVE APRIL 1st, 1927,

In addition to the regular monthly premiums required by Section 4331 to be l)ald into the Industrial Accident
Fund, every employer coming within the purview of the Workmen's Compensation Act wlll be required to make a
monthly payment to be known as a " SERVICE A.ND POLIOING OHARGE."
The amount of balance in the Industrial Accident Fund to the employer's credit will not relieve him of his
liability to make this payment; provided, however that any employer whose account is overdrawn and who ls
paying a :rate of 4 % will not be required to make this additional payment.
The Service and Policing Charge will be computed on the monthly premium paid by the employer, or on the
premium which the employer would have been required to pay had he not been exempt.

The amount or the charge shall be determined according to the following schedule:

Omaha - January 31, 1928.

Mr. G. B. Pryde:
In Mr . Harri ngton's monthly report of compensation
eases for December , 1927, the Gus Ebner case , No. 2042,is
still carried on the dock et, "Compensation disputed, protest
fil ed."

As r,e arranged to pay Mr. Ebner $40.00 per month~
effective \"Ii th the month of November:, 1927, this case should
be clear ed from mr. Harrington ' s docket.
Pl ease h ave Mr. Harrington advise just what is
meant by a disputed case, as, for example, his summary ~f
l 11
Winton cas es for December shows "Pending disputed cases ,
While the det a il report shows five cases in the disputed
col umn.

Why IFilorridla Should Adopt Accident
Compensation
LORIDA is undergoing a rem a rkable d evelopment. A m ong h er
many activities tha t involve d a nger to
life and lim b are th e extra-hazardous
occupations of buildine and r oad construction, excavatio n work, a nd lumbering.
Visitors to this sta le have commented with surprise upon the lack of
a modern state p r og ra m fo r dealing
,~ith occupatio na l accid e nts.
Florida increasingly need s a ccident
compensation, wh ich fifte en years' experience in A merica h as demonstrated
to be b eneficial alike to employers,
employees, and the w h ole community.
Employers as well as safety expe rts
and public officials through o ut the
country have given e loquen t testimony
t~ the fact tha t workmen's compensation laws, in a ddition to providing reasonable and certain care for inj ure d
workers and their d ependents, have
pro~ed a most e ffective s timulus to

WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION LAWS
Florida ia a black spot on the Workmen'• Compensation
Map. In addition to the forty-three ala.le laws ahown on thia
map, Hawaii and Porto Rico, and the federal government for
its own employees, have compenaation law,. And ConCTell
h.u just enacted a federal accident compensation law covering
harbor workers in all states who are injured while at work on
board a vessel. Eve ry Canadian province is ~vered b:, aucb
ler ialation, and the countries of South America are rapicll:,
falling into line. Will Florida act now, and remove the black
apot that projects from the map 10 conapicuoual:,?

wide attention. Greater production and construction mean more accidents, and
call for
the modern and scientific remedy.
Employers' liability, with its long-drawn-out, costly and uncertain d amage suits, is an
unjust and outgrown system.

Workmen's compensation - the modern plan- provides adequate and certain pay,
ments on a weekly basis at the time they are most needed. It furnishes the necessary
stimulus to safety work through which accidents are prevented. It lessens the community
burden of charitable relief. "A workmen's compensation law is one of the means by which
men judge the social status of a state."
Florida has already enacted legislation for the rehabilitation and retraining of in~~
trial cripples. This legislation, which is supplementary to workmen's compensation, 15 ID

in adopting a workmen's compensation law?

�Why Congress Should Provide Accident Compensation for the District of Columbia
ONGRESS has long neglected the

C private employees in the District
of Columbia. T h ey have no accid en t
compensa tion law, not even a n emJoyers' liability statute, a nd there is
~ot so much as a sim p le provision for
accident repo rting, to say nothing of
the most elem e ntary regulations for
accident preventio n.
Employees e ngaged in b uilding construction a nd woo d w orking p lants,
painters, electric ians, drivers and elevator op erators, a re among those
workers in extrn-hazard o us occupa tions
in the District of Columbia w ho are left
with practically no protection wh en in•
jured in the course of empl oymen t.
Employers as well as safety experts
and public o fficials throug ho ut the
country have g iven elo quent testimony
to the fact tha t workmen's compensa•
tion laws, in a ddit ion to pro viding reasonable a nd certain care for injured
workers and their dependents, hav e
proved a most effective stimulus to
Accident Prevention.

The Tragedy of Work Accidents
What a w ork accident means to
the wage-earner's family and to the
conununity without compensation protection has b een · vividly set forth by
Warren H. Pillsbury who served as a
niernber of the California Industrial A ccident
Conunission. Describing the tra gedy of un•
cornpensated disability to a worker, he wrote :

"When obliged to leave work, the income

~f hitnaelf and his family is ended. His sav•
lllgs will seldom last for more than a week or
two of idleness. He then becomes a charge

"In the Shadow of the
Capitol Dome"
MEN maimed for life while at their
work almost under the shadow
of the Capitol dome, but receiving not
a cent of compensation; widows defrauded of their just dues by shyster
lawyers; families running hopelessly in
debt for the necessaries of life while
court action proceeds at a snail's pace;
children's schooling prematurely stopped because of the family's urgent
need; failure to adopt the simplest safety
precautions and devices because no
pressure exists to make it worth while

Labor Legislation.

Costly "Damage Suit" System StiRil Exists ID
the District of CohJimbia

U

NDER the rules of common law, as there is
not even a liability statute for the District of C olumbia , both employer a nd employee
are at the mercy of law suits. When an industrial accident occurs, the employer may have
to pay - in addition to the expense of a trial
- a big sum of money for d am ages ; the

injured employee who sues his employer gets
prac tically nothin g ; even when he wins, he
mus t divide w h a t h e gets w ith his lawyer.

earners, through their state organizations, actively supported the
workmen's compensation law which
was recently ratified by popular vote.
I~ the campaign, they widely distributed the above cartoon warning the
voters not to be tricked by a "shell
•• put f orward
g ame ,, count er propos1bon
by a certain class of "damage suit"
lawyers.
In its campaign literature the Missouri employers' association declared
that the workmen's compensation law
"will boost Missouri" and that it "will
encourage the building here of new factories which are now being located in
states having workmen's compensation
laws."
Thanks to general support of the
plan Missouri is no longer a black spot
on the compensation map. Will Congre$8 now do as well for the District of
Columbia?

that the causes of a ccidents have become obscure and difficult to identify.
As a res ult, reports show that in a substantial
number of cases no rec overy whatever is possible and in a still larger propo rtion, the damages
awarded are negligible.
Occasionally, we h ear of large awa,rds being
made after a case has dragged through the
courts for years during which time the family
has been left destitute.
But even in a successful suit, court costs and
attorney's fees sometimes ranging as high as
5 0 per cent of the sum granted consume a sub·
stantial part of the money awarded.
Finally, a law suit stirs up bard feeling be•
tween the worker and his employer.

Harmful to the Community
Under the present procedure in the DiStiict
of Columbia perhaps five~sixths of the work·
men seriously injured at work receive no coill·
pensation.

Forty-three states bav:e already adopted
workmen's compensation laws because tbeY
have come to recognize that the system of suit•
for damages is inherently unfitted to 111odern industrial conditions, grossly unfair to tbe
worker, vexatious and sometimes very costlY
to the employer, and harmful to the colllmw:uty.

�How Accident Compensation Can Lighten the Burden
AMILIES that are plunged into
destitution as a result of a work
accident that kills or disables the breadwinner must be assisted. A responsibility falls upon the State, whether or
not the accident is due to the hazard of
the job or to the negligence of employer or employee. If the State has
no compensatio n law a heavy burden
of relie f is th rown u pon public and
private charity, and the community
shares this burd en. But the distribution
of the burden is not just, and such reliance on charity is u ncertain and degrading.

t e Condition of the Poor recently reported,

�Will Congress End This "National Disgrace''?
.
Years bills to provide accident compensation for wage-earners in Private
FOR seven
employments in the District of Columbia and to remedy what the Washington News calls
an "intolerable state of affairs," have been urged upon Congress, b ut final action has been
delayed.

The American Association for Labor Legislation has recently made a survey of work
accidents in the District, supplementing its similar study carried on in 1923-24. It shows
that, while Congress delays, tragedies occur in the homes of injured workers. These findings
have been laid before Congress.

Of sixty-one accident cases just examined in which the compensation is known, fifty.
two received absolutely nothing from their employers as compensation fol' their injuries. Only
three men received something-after strong trade union 'pressw·e had been applied-from
liability insurance companies. In twenty-one of these cases suits were brought for damages.
Thirteen of these-necessarily under the rules of the common law since there is not even a
liability statute for the District-were unsuccessful and three had not yet been settled.

Three verdicts had been secured, only one of which bore any reasonable 1-elation to the
losses sustained.
What frequently happens when some sort of a "settlement" is made is illustrated by
the following case: The widow of a man, killed in a work accident, was induced by a lawyer
to let him represent her. He kept postponing the case. Finally, during the Chrisbnas holidays,
he went to the widow with a check for $1,500. Her son was out of a job, her married daugb·
ter could not help, her Y&lt;&gt;Unger daughter had had to leave school and go to work. She
accepted the settlement, of which the lawyer took $500. Other widows fared even worse, like
the one who, with eight small children too young to work, had to accept charity when her
husband was killed by the collapse of a saffold. Such a condition is indeed "intolerable,"
Congress alone can provide the needed remedy.

Dear Sir: -You might be interested in a copy of a letter that I have
written to Mr. Knox in ansv1er to a letter that Mr. Bottomley urote to
ilr. Knox.

In this lette r I treat Mr. Harrington's office as a part

of my off ice, so ·rar as co.wpensation matters are concerned .

When a

report cooes to hi m, I have treated it as though the report came to

me, as i t di d befor e I ~as relieved of the clerical part of this business.
From v:hat I have seen and from what I hear, the administration of compensation ca ses, is more expensive in some other parts of the state
than along the railroad, which ought not to be."

I do not understand

ho11 the State Treasurer justifies the surgeon's bills uhich Mr . Bottomley says are being paid in the Sheridan District.

Ur• Bottomley

\il'ites l!lr. I&lt;"..nox that the surgeon charges !!lileage "from three to fift een ciollarsn for very slight injuries.

Under the la\, , I do not see

hoTT any such charges can be passed by the State Tr~asurer and the

st ate Auditor.
It n ay be said that at some coal car:,ps there are not enough
lniner-s

Be numo er- of' wor

no c..1·rm1g&lt;..meuts between

On the list that I

�·ved f r om the Clerk of the Court to-day, covering the month of
recel

is report od injured .

So is Lloyd Kamine of' Tobin Construction Company

frcd cruz, Gre en Riv• r Sand Pit, Ivan .l:!..Bro,:n and Norman Peterson of
the Utah Oil Refi n ing Company.

I am r:ondering, has it ever occurred to the Coal operators of the
southern \'iyor ing As so c:iation that it is necessary that I should look into such cases every ··onth in order to prevent excess and extravagant claims
oeing attempt ed bbth for injuries and for medical, surgical and hospital

charges?

But you r:i ll appreciate that I have access only to one

::ounty and that is Sr:eetwater , and in this behalf I have stopped a good
many extravagant cluims, some of them made by parties who are not en-

gaged at all in extra-hazardous employment .

Ue have omitted the earnings of Lti.ko Matozovich,

this boy is eeyloyed filling tamping bags by contract and do not
think t his is e. hazardous occupation.

Former boys were shcnm, for

this uork, QD hazardous for the reason that we b{l.d thee assist vi.th
the suitch-tending of the big electric locomotive, in bringing the
coal to the tipple, but the boys now employed do not do any of
this '\2ork.

If they should be carried as hazardous will you

. Business men deplore and denounce increases
m taxes; but the expenditures of state and local
govern~ents continue to grow. Many fortns of
ex~enditure by the Federal Government continue
to increase, and the total burden of taxes tends
to become heavier.
Who is resp?nsible? Ask almost any business
man, and he will blame the politicians. We shall
make more pr?gress in improving both govern~e.nt and bu~mess when we put the responsibility "Y~ere 1t belo~gs. Practically every increase m ta,xes and m government interference
with business is due more to our business men
than to our politicians.
Business men are the most influential class ·in
the country. They never had so much influence
in any other country as they have here, and never
so much influence here as they have now. Most
politicians do not disregard what business men
want.
They may disregard what business men say
they want, but they seldom disregard what they
know' the business men actually do want. And
the main reason why we have so much government in business is that the politicians give business men what they actually want.
Rodney A. Elward, a Kansas farmer, in an
article in Natio·n's Business for July, commented
upon the way "business men shudder at the
word socialist," and said:
"Paternalistic schemes of government are
agitated, not at farmers' meetings, but in business men's organizations. I have heard more
socialism preached at meetings of commercial
bodies than in socialistic gatherings."
Mr. Elward and· I have spent our lives in different .fields, but we have come to the same conclusion.
•
Probably no statements in Herbert Hoover's
speech accepting nomination for the ~residency
were more generally endorsed by busmess men
than these:
"It is the duty of the Government. to avoid
regulation as long as equal o_ppo~turuty_ to all
citizens is not invaded and public ngh_ts v1ol~ted.
The Government should not engage m busmess
• competition with its citizens."

H these quc-stio11s must be answered in the
affirma tive, he may believe he is opposed to undue governmental activities and excessive goyernmental expenditures, while he is effectively
promoting them.
Now, anybody who will thoughtfully survey
• what is going on throughout the country must
agree that many business men are constantly
answering "yes" to these questions.
It has been constantly asserted that the Federal Government has built larger and more expensive post office buildings than private companies would have built to handle the same
amount of business, and that the Federal Govern·
ment has wasted large amounts in "impr~ving"
watenvays which never could be made navigable
for a row boat.
But did anybody ever hear of a business man
opposing the expenditure by the Federal Gove_rnment of $200,000 upon a building or anything
else in bis own community when $100,000 woRuld
have been sufficient, or even too much?
e·
gardless of the merits of the Boul_der. Dam co:~
troversy, for example, is it not significant th.
though there is much dpposition to it from business men in other parts of the country, ~ere
is no perceptible opposition from the. buSineri~
men of 'Los Angeles and the surrounding ter
tory?
The expenditures on highwavs

"' '1\\ 0 1

To

\1hat extent_ have local business men interested
t emselves m . these expenditures excepting to
pull for th e ~~nstruction of highways irt their
own communities and territories?
How many business men can say they have
nev~r favored the application to other people's
b~smess of any government policy which they
&lt;ltd not want applied to their own?
What often happens is illustrated by tbe
condu:t of t~e agent of a large insurance company m an important western state. He was
r~cently divi_ding his time between opposing at
111s state capital the establishment of a state fund
for workmen's compensation insurance and advocating the adoption of municipal ow~ership of
the local street railway system in his home city.
He thought he was opposed to socialism, and he
could easily recognize it when it was proposed to
apply 'it to his own business, but he did not so
quickly recognize and react against it when it
was proposed to apply it to the business of somebody else.
There is only a handful of theoretical socialists
in this country. Extremely few of our business
men are theoretical socialists. But that is no
reason why we should comfort ourselves with the
belief that socialistic policies will make no
progress, especially if we have only to look
around us to see that they are making progress.
Our danger is not from the theoretical socialist,
but from the practical socialist.
•
The theoretical socialist favors public ownership and management of all the means of production, distribution and exchange of wealth. He
is not dangerous because he cannot get enough
people to agree with him. He ta~es in too f!1Uch
territory. Nobody wants any of his own terntory
taken in.
Some Socialists Are Dangerous
A practical socialist is a man who will favor
almost any form of governme!'tal act~on, however socialistic, which he beheves will . benefit
him. Now the woods are full of practical socialists; and they are dangerous becaus~ there
are so ma.ny of them, and because, u_nltke the
theoretical . socialists, they get something doni:.
You cannot get many people to favo~ government regulation or ownership of all busmess, but
you can always get a great many to favor almost
any kind of government interference ~vith almost
any one k_ind of bu~in_ess. Hence while the general cloctrme of soc1ahsm m~kes al~o~t no progress in this country, practical soc1ahsm grows

Are Coal Operators Socialists?
State workmen's compensation insurance was
establis hed in West Virginia in 1913. A high
authority says it owes its creation principally to
the coal mine operators. Now, can you beat that?
Are the coal mine operators of West Virginia
:-ocialists ? Not as regards their own business.
No doubt they would unanimously oppose
g-overnment ownership of the coal mines, which
has had many adYocates, as "contrary to the
genius of American institutions and to every
~ound principle of economics." But how about
socialis m in the insurance business? Wellt hey are n ot in the insurance business.
E. E. 'Watson, an actuary, after an investigalion, reported abQ_ut a year a~o that the ~est
Virginia workmen's compensat10n fund was impaired" to the e~ent of almost $5,000,000, a condition said by insurance experts to be the result
of the c.:harging by the state of a rate much lower
than has been shown by actuarial figures to ~c
sound. The result is, in e~ect, that the publ~c
is p aying part of the premmms for_ w?r_kmen s
compensation insurance in West V1rgm1a,_ and
t hat taxes in the state are thereby made higher
than they otherwise would be.
Fine examples of the inconsistency of ~any
bus iness men who profess to be op~osed to government in business" are afforded m the field of
transportation. The railway came after the
waterway and the highway, b~t .for alm?st
hundred years has been our principal earner o
commerce.

" Inland \Vaterways Corporation" is merely a
s tage name for the GoYernment of the United
S_tat.es. The. barge service on the Mississippi
nver system is a plain case of government ownership and operation in competition with the
railroads.
The operation by the Government of this barge
line was begun eight years ago ostensibly as _an
e:-..1)eriment to determine whether such a sen•1ce
could be successfully conducted. Probably it
would have been conceded at that time by all
its advocates that eight years would be suffici~nt
for the test. Recently, however, Congress, with
the approval of business men, especiallr t~ose. of
the Mississippi Valley, trebled the cap1tahzation
of the Government's corporation in ord:r that
it might correspondingly enlarge its service.
Because the Government is furnishing and ~tending the service, municipaliti~s along tb e
Mississippi and its tributaries, influenced_ {
local business men' are building waterh termina
Govern-s
at public expense. In order to help t e • the
ment's barge line compete successfully witr h
railways, Congress has given a branch °Cotro:

told that it is socialistic and, therefore contr
to their avowed ~ri~ciples, they all ~ake :~
sai:ne answer. ~his _is, that government owner
ship and operation 1s to be temporary, that if
t!1e S7ov~rnment makes a success of the barge
hne 1t will be turned over to private enterprise.
T his raises some significant questions:
\ Vhen did private enterprise in this country
begin to show such lack of initiative and courage as to ask th_e Governmen_t to undertake any
p ro1ect that private enterprise really believed
could be made successful?
1f b usiness men believe, as most of them prof css t.o, that government management is sure to
he inefficient, how can they believe that government management of the barge line will be
efficient enough to make it a success?
If the Government does make a success of it,
why have the barge line taken over by private
enterprise? Why not have the Goyernment ontr
continue to own and operate it, and then see _1£
the Government cannot also make a success m
manufacturing, mining and other lines of buslness?
1£ socialistic policy in the field of transportation is desirable, why not in all lines of bus10ess?
It is easy to understand why th~ G?vernment should get out of a business in which_ 1t makes a •
failure but will not private enterprise show a
~eat deal of imprudence if it stays out of the
barge business until it bas been made a succ~ss
at the expense of the tax-payers, and th en tnes
to grab it in order to get the profits?
What Makes a Failure?
There are still other questions th at may be

�terminals, it seems certain that even though,
measured by ordipary economic and business
standards, the experiment could be conclusively
demonstrated to be a failure it would be extremely difficult to get the barge service abandoned , or e,·en to preYent it from being extended.

;o, ernment ow11ership and operation of a

It is generally agreed by business men that
the growing burden of taxes, and the increasing
tendency of the Government to interfere and
engage in business, are twin menaces to our
welfare.

I repeat that business men themselves are
9r these menaces. They are
chiefly responsi.
constantly promoting schemes on a local, state
and even national scale to increase governmental
expenditures and thereby taxes.
Business men are constantly backing projects
for increased g overnmental interference and
competition with other people's business. They
do these things in their supposed self-interest.
By doing them, however, they usually, in the
long run, work contrary to their own interest
and thc1:t of everybody else. They have to help
pay the increased taxes that they make ne~essary, and they set precedents, by promotwg
government interference in other people's business, that are used to justify similar foterference
in their own business.
And thus they go on, year after year, increasing taxes while dt!nouncing the politicians because taxes are high, and helping to establish a
socialist state while talking at their luncheons
and dinners and conventions against socialism
and socialistic policies.

Dear r.·r. Pryde :

I thank you for 11aving written me your l ette: of

February 21 callin½ attention to the mistake made in my article
i n The Nation's Business f or November, re uarding the vrorkmen' s

compensati on i nsurance l::i:,1 of Wyomine .
Of course, I make no pretense of being an exµe r t
uoon this subject.

All the statements made ill my article were

based upon inforrna tion given in a memorandum which was prepared

for me by a man uho bears the reoutation of being an exuert re garding insurance matters.

I am very sorry if the statement wade

by me was_misleading, but I feel sure tha t it did 11 ttle harm,

I am g lad you enjoyed reading my article.
yours very sincerely,

Dear Sir ,

I n o~der th~t a unif orm system may be in operation relative
to compen~&lt;:1-?1on cla~ms a1;d the employer's assent, may I not suggest
that tne 1,~ ne Su per1ntennent at Hanna make out the claim and assent

blanl{ in t r i plica t e, as t he same is done at Superior and that it be
forwarded by t he IJiine Su perintendent to Mr. Harringt~n at Rock Sprinas
for execution by t h e employer.
0

The cla i m and a s s fft \7ill • reach Mr. Harrington just as quickly
as the cla i m and. a ssent reaches him from Superior, Vlinton and Reliance,
so t here i s no i n convenienc_e or delay on this score .

I understan d· tha t there are a few lapses in the administration
because the Ra.11-~ a compensation awards do not come immediately under
Mr. Harrin~ton
' s supervision until after these documents are filed in
the court, 0 and i'reauent ly after the Judge has passed upon them .
To my .mind tru.s will all be avoided by adopting the same
system at Hanna as is in operati?n here at Rock Springs .

of the southern states• she sets an example for her four remaining neighbors that still lag without this modern accident remedy.
\'I i thin a week you should receive our March Review with the
symposium on the Neu Industrial South which • prepared for our
December meeting at Chicago• has been distributed piece-meal in
circulars, newspapers and pamphlets throughout North Carolina,
Arkansas and Florida. In it you wi 11 find. some suggestion of the
obstacles we have encountered in this campaign. Railway unions
a.~d ambulance chasing lawyers have cheerfully joined with reactionary employers in their short-sighted efforts to preserve the generally discredited and ant i quated system of suits for damages.

But the progressive citizens of all gr-oups have won in
North Carolina. We are n0\7 giving further attention to Arkansas
and Florida where the drafted bills and supporting material have
been circulated widely. Through our members in these states helpf ul conferences are under way. Our goal is to see the tour remaining black spots removed from the Compensation Map!
Without your help this crunpaign cannot go forward effectort now "desh·able social progress can be

Mr.

My

dear Frank:My

office and yours have hed some correspondence

recently in connection with one clause which you are putting
in deed of transfer in exchange for our land at Rock Springe,
that I would like to C1iecuss with you personally before we
agree to accept transfer ,rith this cloud on the title.
I appreciate the fact that there is little
probability of any other railroad ever coming into that country
and there is no desire on our part to make connections with
any other ~ine, but it is a long call from now until the coal
under this land ~ill be exhausted and it m9¥ be that we might
desire to dispose of the land some dB¥, and this might stand
in the way of our so doing, consequently as we are giving you
a clear title with no reservations of a.ey character or kind,
we ~hink you should do the same by us.

I would like t o talk with you about this matter
personally. I take it that a little del~ until ne can get

�liro Frank A. Manley.

No. 2.

together in the matter will not be any serious inconvenience

to you.

What has become of the deed?

�Memo to Mr. Manley:
Referring to Mr. Keith's letter attached.
After receiving your advice to have the right
of way reservation eliminated from deed for Section 19, I
had a conversation with Mr. Griffith and he told me that he
did not think Mr. Mohler would agree to making an exception
in the right of way matter.

I therefore took the matter

up with Mr. Mohler and he seemed to think that this should
not be done--in fact he told me it would not be done

I
0

therefore wrote llr. O'Flaherty and told him that under our
by-lews it would be impossible to eliminate the reservation.
I run just giving you this information so that
you may be able to reply to Mr. Keith.

Dear Sir:

Answering yours of the 4th in ragard to the sale by Union
Pa.oific R.R.Oo. to Union Pacifio Ooal Company of Section 19 at

Reliance, Wyoming, to enable it to trade with the Central Coal
&amp;

Coke Company for Section 30:
I note the reservations contained in the deed from the

Railroad Company to the Union Paoifio Coal Company, and am not
surprised that the Central Coal &amp; Coke Company refuses to

accept title ~ith suoh a oloud upon it.

It seems to me that a

neu deed, omitting the reservation, should be executed and
delivered to the Coal Company. If the Railroad Oompany is not
t1illing to do this unless the Union Paoifio Coal Company agrees
to deed to the Railroad Company a right of uay over Section 30,
after it has been soquired, I lmow of no legal reason why you
should not do so.
Very truly yours,
