CITY ··-;,- ,:::-:·-;-.. ' • ; ' f ~ • ·~ " !. .... ~ \7 Dear Sir:-- .,.J• , - J ? •✓ . 1/ . -• .. .... ~ ~/ Someti1i1e I thinlc it might be VJell for y o •J to hav e a conversation Vli th Dr. Arbogast upon the pha. s e of bis f i nal reports which appear to me to be rather speculative. Sometime ago we received a final report from the doctor, in which he s aid that in his judgment, the workma.n "will be able to resume his duties in a.bout three wceks. 11 It is obvious we could not stipula te e.n award for three weeks ahead of the stipulation and 1:tf e declined to do it. We frequently get final reports from Dr .. Arboga.st in which he gives it as his opinion that the employee may resume 'Hork in one or two days. I am wondering if, frequently these one or tvm day s are not gratuitous. Please understand tl:1at I do not say this is true, but I do believe that, vihere every__ influence is to stretch out the time, especially where the number of <1ays of work per week, is small., that it might be vrnll the f'irst time you see Dr.Arbogast to remind him that the st~tute ±s, that compensation is to cease when the injured person :«can perform work at 'fu1. occupation.n an,y gain.- The thought I wish to convey is this, that in looking over these reports, the surface indication is, that two or three days are always given after the date of the final report; It seems that some of these dates would be coincident with the final reporto I am just suggesting what occure_?._ to me, and I thought in .a diplomatic way, without reference to this- letter, you might sometime call the doctor's attention to the fact, that it is quite desirable, if possible to have the final reports definite. I feel a hesitancy in authorizing the payment of State funds upon a final report that says that a workman may be able to go to work in three or four days, and then to give that workman three or four days extra con1pensution upon a mere supposition. We are constantly returning these final reports to the surgeons, requiring them to be made more definite and certain in this behalf. We have in mind a recent occurance. A workman is drardng compensation at the rate of $90.00 per month. Mrs•Emery noticed that he is walking around town, and asked the camp surgeon why a final surgical ~eport is not forthcoming. The surgeon replied that this would pr?~ably e e1one in two or three months, but Mrs• Emery said 11 I see him wal.1-C1ng �around on the streets" upon v, h ich the surgeon replied, 11 Yes, I have t;o1d him he could worlc at some lieht work, but he hasn't been able to get a J.ight job." A policy of this kind works very \'Jell in those sta tes HheI· e coropensa tion is b a sed upon the a ver&. ge wa ges a n d time of the en1ployment exhibited for the past t wo or three yea rs. rt does not v,cor1c wher e, as we d o i n Wyomi n g , p ay the highest awards 3rnov1n in any cornpensa tion l avJ, and t ha t rJi thou t r efe r e nce to the workman s probable earning ca pacity o I hav e tri ed to make t he Courts understand the lib er ality of our l aY, and tha t it needs no stretching to satisfy what they ca ll in othe r s t a t es n1ib eral construction."

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 compensation. The longshoreman if injured-while on shor~ has the protection of state compensation laws. But let him walk up the gangplanlc and step aboard a ship with his load and he is denied that protection. If injured aboard a vessel his sole recourse-a damage suit-is under maritime restrictions that make it unworthy the· name of "remedy." The compensation principle bas been almost universally adopted ~or work accidents elsewhere. Why are these great groups of men m ~ra-hazardous employments-longshoremen and local ship ~e~nnen-given a less favorable opportunity when they suffer T IDJUry? When the states in 1911 first enacted worlanen's compensation laws, they included longshoremen and repairmen at the ~ocks as a matter of course. These workers were so protected until tbe ~~preme Court in 1917 held by a five-to-four decision that when IIIJured on board a ship, the accident was "maritime" and tberefore �outside of state jurisdiction.1 Twice Congress attem these objections and remedy the desperate conditio ptfed to tneet • • to them the protenoti" the1ong. shorernen by specifically reservmg • laws. These efforts, desp1te • their • charact c on. of. state compensation "statesmanlike" by the minority Justices, were held to b e:zation as authority of Congress in that such power delegated :O ehy0nd the • t e states would mterf ere w1'th t he proper h armony and uniformity maritime law.2 of the It is important to note that longshoremen alone are not th e only harbor workers affected. A carpenter, an upholsterer a . . . b . k . h , pamter a machinist, a 011er m ha er-m s ort, a_ny one of the repa~ representing no less ~ an 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 tht 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.a Meanwhile, America has step by step, in state after state, discarded as unfit the outgrown and discredited 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 workmen's compensation to injured workers, to their employers, and to the whole community. There can be but one satisfactory remedy for local harbor workers-a federal accident compensation law. But these men, longshoremen and ship repairmen, are employed not only in our seaports 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 1 Southern Pacific Co. v. Jensen, 244 U. S. 205. . • Knickerbocker Ice Co. v. Stewart, 253 U. S. 149; State of Washington fl, Dawson & Co., 264 U. S. 219. • State of Washington v. Dawson & Co. 264 U. S. 219. • the :~ithout doubt Congress bas p~wer to alter, amen~ o~ rev~se and !llantime law by statutes of general application embodying its 11 gen· Judgment. This power, we think, would permit enactment O a ting ~r!tl employers' liability law or general provisions for cornpensa tnJured employees." t �f both related classes reside, a federal commission, with its • • ilar f unctions • authorized to exercise sim by state appointfepUtl~uld insure prompt and efficient administration. nelli/ tiJne is more than ripe for this comprehensive and final . en of a vexatious national problem. For years, hundreds of . • 0Juuo • -~nds of our most essential workers at the docks have been boU:,o,• " • • • ,, b cl htlttled about- out agam, m agam - Y osely divided opinions ,f the highest court. Patiently. they have exhausted every legal roach to the local compensation remedy. Both they and their :PP • a si·t uation • that is • m • def ensible and unmployers are now 1eft m earable. The officers of the longshoremen's union, with the same careful onsideration that won high praise from distinguished judges for heir earlier "statesmanlike" efforts, are again utilizing every facility t their command to reach a remedy that will be liberal to injured 1orkers, fair to employers, and just and stable under the constituion of the United States. Other national affiliated railway and epair workers' organizations have promptly offered their endorse1ent and support. The American Federation of Labor, at its recent Jnvention, gave to the project its unanimous vote. It is known that recently employers in the shipping worldnpressed it is said by injustices and wastefulness of present conitions-have gone so far as to have their attorneys work on the raft of a federal compensation measure. Meanwhile, influential . labor groups with their advisors, in ,operation with the American Association for Labor Legislation 1d several public officials, were already perfecting a bill for introJction in Congress. Having worked consistently year after year 1r adequate accident compensation, the Association is actively 1rticipating in this promising new movement, and will continue ; efforts until a satisfactory federal measure is in successful ieration-the most urgent next step toward the completion of ,mpensation protection. The pending measure, which has been approved by compensation ficials throughout the country, and endorsed by the workers for hom this protection is primarily intended, was introduced in )Dgress by the chairmen of the judiciary committees-Senator llllmins and Representative Graham. This bill (S. 3170 and H. R. 9498) embodies the best features existing compensation acts. The scale of benefits is wisely based NO rker . 5O �on the schedule in New .York-the state .having the greatest nu mer b _ 1 of these workmen. . E mp oyers are to msure payment of accid • by any ofh ' d methods. Admient. compensation t e common aut h onze istration of the act is through local federal deputies cooperaf n with state compensation officials wherever the latter choose to ass~f all under the uni£ying supervision of the experienced United stat ' Employees' Compensation Commission which was •created ;; Congress in 1916. The government is to bear none of the costeven the necessary preliminary appropriation to initiate the administration of the law is to be reimbursed. The necessary and desirable limited appeal to the courts on questions .of law is, of course, provided. Modern provision is made for cooperation in rehabilitating disabled workmen, and special emphasis is given to stimulating accident prevention. The bill is a carefully considered and adequate measure. Its early enactment should be urged upon Congress. "THE cla111 of longshoremen needs the protection of compensation as much if not more than any other claas of workmen. Their occupation, so essential to the prosperity of the trade of the United State,, is extra hazardous, both on account of its nature and on account of the pressure under which it; must often be performed. It is unjust to these men and to their families that the burden _of loss resulting from thousand, of accidents annually should be left by the law Qn theil"I shoulders. The resulting discontent and disaatisfaction ~asy to understand.

Pryde , Vi~e ~res~d~nt and General Manager • union Pacific Coal Company c1t1, Dear Sir:-- I do not think we ought to pass up in silence the last paragraph of Dr. Arb ogast ' s letter of December 23rd, wherein he states: has not been my custom to r eport cases on Form 150 ~ince the Compensation Law took effect unless the in Jury be suff ici ent to disable for seve~ days or more.; ~I~ I would suggest that Dr. Arbogast•s attention be called to Section 8, Chapter 124, page 130,Session Laws, 1925 which is as follows: flNOTIFICATION BY DOCTOR se:tion 8. Every doctor who accepts the case of an in Jured workman, and every hospital which ac9epts the case of an injured workman,shall within ten ~10) days after accepting such case file a written notice thereof with t he Clerk of the District Court and shall send a copy of such notice within said ten (10, days to the State Treasurer and another copy within said period to the employer of the injured workman. Any doctor or hospital failing or refusing to file the notice within the time designated with the Clerk of the Court or to send copies thereof within ~a~d period to the State Treasurer and the employer of the inJured workman shall forfeit any remuneration or award from the compensation fund for any services,care or • attention rendered to such injured workman or any facilities furnished to pim.m · h L i 1 ture because physicians Thi s Section was enacted by t . e eg s a ~~ spitals l.m.dertook to determine for themselves the circums t ances �ll'ottN 2103 5TANDARO 1-21-10000 THE UNION PACIFIC COAL COMPANY IN lU!lPLY PLEASE REIJ'MR TO NO, under which an i n jured workman, disabled should be reported or not reported. I remember di stinctly having this matter up with the late yr,E,s.Brooks and with all the other coal operators in ~outhern Wyoming, calling their at tention to t h e fact that it made no difference how slight the injury might b e or where or how it might have occurred, whether in the perfor man ce of t he injured workman's duty as an employee or not, if an in j ury occ urr ed either upon the premises of the operator I • and not in the course of t he workman s employmentj or off of the premises of the oper ator, a nd in t h e course of the workman's employment,it should be rep ort ed, and that the Court and not the mine superintendent must determine the ultimate f act as to whether or not compensation is ' to be awarded,and especia lly,neither the mine superintendent, the injured workman or the camp surgeon were authorized to determine that an injury need not be reported because of its extent,duration or circumstances. The case of Mr- Hunter demonstrates the situation. If Dr. Arbogast is looked upon as having any official connection with the llledica1 department of the Union Pa ific Coal Company, his failure to report the case might, by the judgment of the court of competent j'lll'1sdj_ction,subject the coal company to a fine of $ 500.00; and llll"1tt1ngl'111_, , _ of course, in bis fa ilure liolat to report this case,he has ed the law. It might be well for me to say that we are not much concerned �1 8TANDAAD 1-21-10000 ,.,,;."· THE UN!ON PACIFIC COAL COMPANY IN RJ!JPLY PLmA.sl!l IU!lFilllt TO NO, ~ether the surgeons report to the District . .

We are concerned, under our system ·of medical and surgical attendance to our employees, that every case of injury treated by our camp surgeons are r eported to us, and we would impress aj)on them that it· is neither their province nor our province to usurp the prerogative of the court and to det'ermine when an injury is not to be awarded. Excuse me for making this letter so positive and so long,but the matter is important,and it is also a matter tiiat I have dwelt upon before, and it seems as if it should be restated.

Fr~n what I can learn about this caoe the injured man is, and has been for some time :past, in condition to resume work at a gainful occupation. The only trouble he appears to have at present is soreness and a slight drain in the center of the old scar. This trouole is, no daubt, caused by chafing of artificial limb. Think that it would be uell if we were to have Tomazin present himself to a dininterested ~urgeo~, at either Cheyenne or nawlins, for examination as this is a case where it appears as though the workman in taking advantag e of the Industrial Insurance Fund. Tomazin has drawn to date from the Insurance Fund a total of $2,350.00: $ 1,200.00 for permanent partial d i sability in addition he has also drawn $1,150.00, in monthly pay.ments, for temporary total disability which two runounts ill.alee up the above total. There is a question enters here on which I am not informed, Is the Industrial Insurance Fund liable for :payment of monthly compensation, 'for temporsry total diaabilityi during the period required by the stump to become hardened and accuBto~ed to the artificial limb,and is the Fund liable for co~pensation for loss of time or earning power through complications ariseing from the use of an artificial limb? If not,we should resist any further payments to Tomazin unt11 he is examined as above. �Harry w.ri.ght. Injured at Hanna Uines. january 28th 1924. Dr.Finch is still of the opinion that this patient, while he has been discharged from further treatment, is :=suffering from a permanent total dieibility. In his le tte r of April 7th 1925 Dr.Finch classifies this injury at ab out ,0% p ermanent disability. On April 22nd 1925 in writing further of this case Dr., Finch states that "He is suffering from a condition" "that will be a permenent disability and will laeve" "him impaired for the rest of his life". Mr.Wright has collected,to da,te, from the Industrial Insurance Fund $ 1,012.50 for a temporary total disability, and the probability is that these monthly payments will cont inue, as in the Anderton case, until such time as they reach a total equal to the amount allowed for pennanent total disability, after which a further claim may be filed for p ermanent total disability. After our exnerience with the .Alllderton case I think it would be well for us to have Ur . Wright examined by a disinterested surgeon as to his physical condition, and a further exrunineation by Dr.Strader to deter...nine if there has been any improvement, or if there is liable to be any improvernent, in the "double vision" condition. After getting reports from the different doctors we will then have something to case our fig u·tt:s on :for settlement. �Tony E a rv and ~a. a t H a nna. lVI :l.ncs. Injured llaJI 8th 1924. Barvandakie wa s injured May 8 th 1924 in the f ollowing manner "Vf. aile picking coal a piece :f l evr and struck him in the eye " Emp loyers report cr:f' Accident fil ed L1ay 24th 1924: Voucher for $25 1.6 1 for teri1:pora:i;y t otal disability was mai l e d, by the Cl e rk of Court , to Barvandakis on Oc t ober 16th 1924 . Thi s worlonan, when reporting to Dr .Finch f or treatment , did not advise the doct or of any previous inj ury,and Dr.Finch was not ac qua inted with this fact until advised some time later,by Dr.Strader,that Barvandakis had this s~ue eye injured in 1918 while s erving in the Gre ek Anny . I t app ears as though Barvandakis intends t o bas e his claim for l oss of vision, which clain1 h e filed in October 1924 with the c;erk of the court of Carbon Coubty, on a letter from the commis s ioner of Immigration , in repl y t o Barvandakis ' inquiry , regarding conditi on of the workman 's eye s at the tL~e of his admis s i on to this c ountry . Dr . Finch c ould n ot s tate t h e characte~ of the e xamination g i ven the eye s of immigr ants, but he is of the opinion tha t they were examined only for c ontag ious disease. Have writ ten the Comruissioner o:f Immigration at '!Jew York a s kin g furthe r information regarding this examination. 1n his report to the court.regarding thiscase, Dr. Strader SA.ya "It is extre1nenly doubtful if' the parti cle of coal which the man got into the eye 'had anything to do with the loss of vision.In my opinion the loss of vis i on is entirely due to oJ.d changes in the vi t reous, and the vitreous are in all probability due to the old war injury". In view of the fact that Dr. Stra der does not think that this loss of vision was due to injury rece i ved in our mines, we should resist any further awards ~f any kind,to Barvandakis as it begins to look a; hough ~the workman was imp osing on us. �A.

Min e c1·erk advises that Campbell begun work on April 6th 1925. �John Pickup. Inju~ed at Hanna Mines Dec.,12th 1924. Dr. Finch advises that X-ray examination shows complete union of the broken bones in the foot, but that natient still complains of pain in the foot and as far up as the kBee. Patient ,did not want splint removed. - This case should be sent to disinterested surgeon, as soon as possible, for examination as workman is drawing $90.00 per month, monthly compensation, from tile Industrial Insu:cance Fundfor temporary total disability, Workman has drawn, 't:l date, $360.00 from the fund and seems well satisfied \'{i th the present arrangement therefore the suggestion for an early examineation by outside doctor. �D.Hironga.

Injured at Ha nna Mines February 27th 1925. Patient discharged by doctor on account of com~lete recovery. Mine Clerk advises that Weijola started work on ~ arch 23rd 1925. �Joseph Wal.ton, Injured at Hanna Mines. March 2nd 1925. On accou...."'lt of the advanced age of Walton, 68 years, Dr. Finch i s of the opinion that the chanc e s a.re very remote of the fractured bones ever mak ing a comp lete and serviceable union, and h e has l ittle doubt but that this will be a case of p ermanent total disab i lity. Walton is married, No children, which entitles him to $ 60.00 per month, a t present , for temporary total disabili t y. The doctor reports thatvhi s pa tient has shown a marked improveraent , ...i.'.: the past week, and app ears . t o be getting stronger, eats heartily and sleeps well. It would be well perhaps to allow this case to run along for a period, of say six months, a nd if at the end of this p eriod he does not show a marked irn~rova~ent we could have an exarainatioa made- with a view to final settlement. �George Cotaifakis.

Subject: Time Limit on Reporting Injuries on Compensation Cases, Nyoming Field. Mr. Geo. B. Pryde: In discussing the handling of compensation cases with several of the mine superintendents, the question has arisen of the proper reporting of injuries. In our opinion any legislation contemplated to the Workmen's Compensation Act should include a clause requiring that compensation be claimed within 30 days after the date of accident with the further provision that the injury must be reported to the workman's foreman or to the designated physician of the Coal Company, within 48 consecutive hours of calendar days, subsequent to the injury. �~ . ..'

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

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

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

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

Tha basis of his argmoont being, th:lt tm fund is in a :position to carry this increase as the earnings for 1920 are ninety paroent above tha e:xpanditures. No doubt this is a fact, but must keep 1n mind that during tha yaar 1920 tm production of oil and coal, tla two oomnodities contributing the most money to tlla fund :ra at tmir heighth. I cannot speak on- the oil as intelligontly as on coal, but we all lmow that eyoming surpassed all p:revious Jaarly productions and worked more dqs during 1920 than any previous years. As our asseaSJIBnt 1s based upon payrolls, this naturall.il means that contributed more money to the t1md. I think the condition in 1921 will be tm 1"8verse •. I believe wyomillg tonnage will be much less and the nuni>er of worldl1g dqs will be greatq deo:reaaed. !lhis will mean smaller ~ l l s and consequently a less amount of momy paid into the f'1md, so that I believe tla t at t:m end ot 1921 this relation between receipts and expenditures of 1921 will exiat, so that I th1Dk these tacts must be ta.ken into consideration detemintng Just how much the oonp3nsation should be imreased. we belieft i t shoUl.d be im:reased, but not to tbe extent of ninety ;i P&l'Oe:nt. !be bill pnaented to the legislatme will no 4o'abt adTOO&te tm n:tandillg to tm state of soma t22e.e1t.66 whioh the State :baa transfer.red. t:L-oa ita ge:nanl t,mct to tm worlmants oom- 1!1!1 �SUPERIOR ROCK SPRINGS COAL CO . Page 2o (llr• E o So Brooks) o pensation f"an.d. There is a question in rru mind as to whatl:lar this should be done ina.smuoh-a.s the taxpayers and .the state desire the workman's compensatio~ fund, and in order to get it started9 appropriated a certain amowt of money each year. Now that the worlmlan 1 s compensation fund has becona self-supporting, I do not believe it is right for tllam to ask that this money be given back to thamo However, I do thinlt th.at th.a amotmt contributed could be decreased over a period of three or four years so that at tha end of this time 9 the State would be relieved of tha contribution. I bslieve that State off'ioials and particularly the employees ara endeavoring to receive benefits from tlla large flmd that has accumulated and have entirely igntirad tmi employer who has created this :f'Und 7 in their desire to distribute a. portion of' ito If the fund has beoome top heavy and it is the belief that it is now self-supporting, I think that the rate paid by th.a employer should be reduoed possibly to one and a quarter ~rcent or on.s paroant o The compensation to the employee increases and tha State gradually relieved of its contribution. I think yre should not lose sight of tha fact that their are three parties interested in this f'llnd 9 the employe:r, the employee and the state. It is interesting to note tha awards ma.de for injuries during the existence of the workman's compensation. These are sho\'Jll in tha fourth report and the supplement report, and I list them below for your information:First .Period second Period Third Period FOurth Period Fifth .Period $62,171.91 99,598.03 94,953.6'1 131'15'1.95 233, 02.7 • '11 You will note that the awards for injuries have gradually increased each year. !his no doubt, being dua to the fact that the worlm:en•s compensation law is gradually extending tm scope of its work and :naturally more 1njur;les are coming under its jurisdiction, so that I feel that during 1921 the depa.rtnent will be faced with a:n increased amount of awards with decreased receipts. I bel:leve tba. t the idea of having a commission to handle this conpensation 1s a dead issue as it seems that all employers and eiqployees are opposed to it, and while it has been advocated in the Treas1U'8r 1 s report, I do not believe it will become an issue. I talked with Martin Cahill and James Morgan quite a number of times. I believe that they are wry reasonable in their dellBD4a from the standpoint of the employee. Morgan seems to teal that \VYOmiDg should be at the head ot the 11st of all other states 1n 1ta oe>q,ensation to emplo19es, but I believe this is going a li'ttle strong. I think records show that out of the forty five states and territories, that \VYODlllJ8 ranks :tifteenth in tm amount of ooJll!)&nsation. Or 1n othar words, Wyoming is in the first third which I think is ~ oallent position o o n s i ~ t h a t om- OOJl!l)8J1eation law is �SUPERIOR ROCK SPRINGS COAL CO. page 3.-(Mr• E. s. Brooks). about only five years old. ll/hile I believe it woUld be · nide for our state to bead the list, I hardly 1think. it is just the time for us to increase the oompensation too much. There are quite a number of otbar minor corrections of the lav, which will come up9 but I do not believe thay will affect the employer one way or anothero If at any time I can be of assistance·9 I will be very glad to have you call on meo very truly yours 9 SO.PER!OR ROCK SPRINGS CO.AL COo o General Hanagaro HOM-te "' �Superior ock Springs C oal Co.

I very much favor your scheme, and I will be glad to participate. I take it the expense of this matter will be borne by Southern Wyoming Coal Operators Association. Yours truly, PJQ-P.

Fobes, Clerk of• the Supreme Court, in ,·,hich I _pointed out that the 11 workmans Compensation J!"und 11 was un r epr e sented in · 1ft"Jhat I believe to b .e a large majority of the Comp ensation c a ses. The Howard Parfitt case well illustrates a mos t d eplorable situation. George Parfitt has been a county officer f or man y years, receiving a substantial salary, for no _work , which I can discover, he has ever perfonned. Joseph H~ Gali cich , i s . a fellow county officer , and Joseph H. Galicich con ceives .that it is his official duty, under his oath of off'i ce. to p rosec u te, in favor of the claimants, all claims against th e Compensatio n . • fund. It is readily unaerstood that little equi ty can a rise at the h~aring of the P arfitt case. I know no thing of the financial relation shi p of Howard Parfitt with his father Geor g e Parfitt. Doubtless. Geo:['. g e Parfitt will make it aiJp ear to the Court that he wa s _d epen d ent upon Howard Parfitt for his living. Inquiries lead me to . believe that Howard Parfitt lived with his father and mother, and probably :Paid them board and lodging . This doe s not ·, to my min d , mean 11 dependency 11 • One might as well say that t h e Chinamen in the Grand Cafe are dependants upon every board er that they feed. I am powerless to appear i n Court r epr esen ting the Compensation fund. I have letters on file which show tha t Judge Tidball con si ders-- and probably rightly so -- tha t my interference is unlawful medling . When we consi der that George P arfi t t and J o seph H. Gali ci ch are both county officers, i t seems to me that this is a case in which the Attorney Gene r al ' s office should represent the fund, and this, e v en though the Cour t should decide that George Parfitt has, for f ive or six years, been the dependent of his dead son, Howard Parfitt. • I think justice can only be ·h elpe·d, while un der the pr esent situation it ge ts little help, by showing the court officers, one and all, that at least in the measure, some security is throvm around the Co mp ens ati on f und.
