Not Destroy �INTRODUCTION The Wolf Flame Safety Lamp 1s a I I bonneted, double gauze, underied, naphtha burning lamp, magnetically locke I and equipped ,,·ith internal igniter. The air enters the lan ip through the ga uze protected opening at the bottom of the glass cylinder as we ll as ove r the top of the glass. The products of combustion pass through double gauz es and escape through a large op ~ni.ng at the top of th e lamp between the bon net and hood, and through numerous small slits in the sur· face oi the bonnet. It is \\·idely used by the mining industry for detecting methane (firedamp) and the presence of oxygen deficiency m coal mine atmospheres.

In filling the lamp only a sufficient amount of fu ei_to saturate the cotton'. with which the font is : packed, should be used. After the lamp has been fill ed 1t h ould be tu:ned ups1de-d?wn so that any ex- : cess iuel will drain out. Care should be taken to r emove any fu el \\'h1ch may remam on the outside of the font after filling. This precauti,on is necessary becau se when the lamp becomes heated this excess fuel may eyaporate and enter the testing flame; thereby tending to give false indications. EXAMINING AND CLEANING WIRE GAUZES The wire gauzes constitute the safety feature of the lamp and any deterioration of them, slight as it may be, is a direct source of danger. It is therefor very important that they should be examined carefully for indications oi wear or any other imperfections. Even though no indication of wear is visible, the gauzes should not be used for too great a length of time, since the heat of the flame oxidizes the wires which gradually reduces the diameter of the wires. This increases the area of the mesh of the gauzes. thus permitting the entrance of a greater amount of air with a subsequent decrease in the saiety ie_ature of the lamp. The air admission ring of the lamp is also provided with two wire gauzes which require careful attention. Although these latter gauzes are not exposed to the heat of the flame th ey should be carefully examined frequently to determine whether they are in good condition and are pr~perly connected to the ring. If found deteriorated in any way, they should immediately be replaced w, th new gauzes. ASSEMBLING LAMP should be taken to ensure the lamp has been properly assembled after filling or deaning. , SomeCar_e ot the errors lik I t .

A fte r th e igniter has been ·operated, it should be lowered by pulling down on the S\\'ivel; after \\'hich th e s wi vel should be swung to a horizontal position so as to clear th e knob for the \\'ick adjustment. The wick is adjusted by turn in g· the wick adju stm ent knob which is located on the bottom of the iont. \Vhen th e lamp is not in use the wick shoul d be lowe red a ll the way clo wn to pre vent evaporation of the fuel. PREPARIN G LAMP FOR TESTING After the lamp ha s been prepared for use it should be care full y examined to ensure that all parts are in good condition, that th ey fit prnpc rly a nd th at no pa rts a re mi ss ing. It is very importa nt that the gauzes are free from dust , o il , rust , soo t, or a lly o th er obstru ctions whi ch will inter fe re with the air circulation of the lamp. A ttention sh ould also be g ive n to th e wi ck. It shoul d ·be trimm ed o f excess crust to prevent clogging ; so that the fuel will -feed freely and produce a Aa me whi ch is s tabl e and uniform. The lamp should be lighted some time before it is tak en to th e place th at is to be examin ed for the pn:sence oi gas, so that it may have an opp ortunity to reach its norm al opera ting temperature. OBSERVATION OF THE FLAME .-\ Safety Lamp flame \\·ill show th e presence oi gas before th e percentage of gas read1es th e lower exp!,)sive !it,;it. The elongation of th e flam e of th e lamp, caused by ga s, is a pale blu e flame (cap) that appears to ride on the lamp flame. Two different methods are employed in testing for gas with a Safety Lamp-the use -of a short, almost nonluminous· flame, about l/ 10" to 1/ 8" high , and the use of a normal service flam e which is about 3/ 4" high. Doth of these methods are reliabl e and accurate. A careful observer ..:an detect as little as 11/n of gas, or at least th e approximate percentage of gas present. \ \"hile making tests th e lamp must be held firmly upright \\'ith the hand underneath the fuel vessel. It should be raised v~ry slO\\"ly. In a mine, gas ( methane ) rises to the roof because it is much lighter than air; thus th e proporti on of gas in th e atmosphere \\"ill usually be found to increase as the roof is approached. and \\"l{en the behavior of the Aame indicates that a dangerous percentage of gas is being approached the lamp should be \\"ithdrawn. Deficiency of oxygen in mine air \\"ill be indicated by a dimming of the flam e, and when the oxygen gets as lo\Y as I 7% the flame will be extinguished. The reduction oi oxygen in mine air is due tc) tht• presence of black clamp and often some of the oxygen in the air being absorbed by the co,il. PRECAUTIONS Certain precautions should be observed in the use of Safety Lamps: I. Be sure that the lamp is locked before being taken into the min e. 2. Examine it carefully yourself to see that it is in good condition, even if it has passed the L:unp Inspector. 3. Do not set your lamp on the bottom of the mine. It may be acciclently upset and extinguished, and the glass globe may be broken. It is better to hang the lamp on a timber by a stout nail. -1-. \\Then testing for gas be careful to prevent dripping water from striking the glass globe. 5. \\'hen gas flames up in your lamp, withdraw the lamp slowly and careiully, and ii lhe llame goes out retire to fresh air before attempting to relight it.

Y~ �HIS pamphlet describes our improved permissible Wolf round burner flame safety lamp using a thermo·· static bimetal coil recently developed by the United States Bureau of Mines. It is our thought that this new method of detecting methane will greatly aid the mining profession, especially the fireboss in making his inspections more safely and reliably, since it offers a po sitive means of indication. T This new device operates on the principle of the bimetallic thermostat; that is, two metals united by riveting, brazing or welding one metal possess ing a high co-efficient of expansion and the other a low co-efficient of expansion. vVhen exposed to heat or temperature rise the material of high expansion properties will expand or lengthen. The other material being of low expansion properties will have little or no expansion. The result is a bending action. vVhen the temperature drops, the high expansive material shrinks back to its original length and the bimetal straightens back to its original shape. The application of a bimetallic coil to a flame safety lamp has made it possible to obtain double indications if methane is present. (a) ( b) By an increase in th e height of th e fl ame. By a movement of th e pointer rod along th e sca le. FIG. I-Illustrates th e approved safet y lamp with th e bimetallic unit as embly and should be used as a guide for the installation of this unit in lamps already in service. FIG. 2-Shows unit consisting of stainl ess steel mounting, bimetal coil, pointer rod, graduated glass chimney, metal banded scal e, vented knob, slotted w ick adj uster rod, w ick holder and extra heaving wicking. THE FOLLOWI NG P ROCEDU R E IN HA TDLI G Il'vIPR OVED WOLF FLAME SAFETY LAMPS I RECOM l\'IENDED WHE T TESTI 1TG FOR GAS: 1. With flame height adj usted o middle lin e of glass, let the lamp reach app roximately constant temperature and flame height whil e going into the min e. 2. Before leaving fr esh air, reset flame height with tip of flame exactl y on th e middle line of the glass. 3. lVIove scale until the pointer coincid es w ith zero of th e scale. 4. Proceed to place 'vvhere test for meth ane is to be made. If methane is present, the lamp will give a double indication: (a) By an incre-ase in the height -of flame above the line of setting. (f)" By a decided movement of the pointer to the right. In this observation , first note the change in height of flame and then the resulting movement of the pointer rod. 5. Recheck the lamp as to flame height when back in fresh air. PROCEDURE WHEN TESTING FOR OXYGEN DEFICIENCY: 1. Let lamp reach normal temperature while going to the mine workings. 2. Before leaving fresh air, set tip of flame exactly on middle line ·of marked glass. 3. l\liove scale until pointer lines up with 2-inch mark on the scale. -1-. Proceed to place where test for oxygen deficiency is to be made. If there is any considerable oxygen defi- ciency the lamp should give a \\;arning as follows: (a) ( b) ( c) (d) By a change in the color of the flame. By a decrease in the height of flame below the line of setting. By a decided movement of the pointer to the left. If the oxygen deficiency is very bad, the lamp will go out and the air will not support life. NOTE: The most suitable fuel to use in this lamp is Atlantic 70° Naphtha produced by the Atlantic Refining Company; obtainable either at Pittsburgh or Franklin, Pennsylvania. f!Vhen adapting the Bimetallic device to lamps already in service it is very essential to equip the fuel vessel with the complete wick assembly, as shown in figure 2. This change is required in order to provide a positive vent so that there will be 110 tendency to build up a pressure within the fuel vessel while the lamp is burning. The Bimetallic Unit is not applicable to flat burner lamps . • Wolf Safety Lamp Co. of America, Inc. 68-72 EME°RSON PLACE BROOKLYN, NEW YORK ��Distributors . - _ Mine .Safety Appliances Company ._ --- - · - -- PITTSBURGH, -· PENNSYLVANIA ' . - - -~~ -- ~ - � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

C ou.pled to this situation, I think we should ask Mr. Murray to go over the community houses, inspecting the equipment ·w hich might be knocked down, not only fire extinguishers, but clocks, pictures, etc., all of which should be safely fastened. Needless to s~y, the fire extinguisher must be positioned so that it can be taken down quickly, and I am wondering if a small metal bracket placed underneath the base would not serve to prevent its being 11:f'ted accidentally from the hook from which it hangs. �S1AHOAAD IMt-10.000 FORM 2.t03 SUBJECT: THE UNION PACIFIC COAL COMPANY OFFICE OF Rock Sp rin g s, Wyoming, Ap ril 1 8 , 1 93 6 Attorney IN REPLY PLEASE REFER TO NO.

He uas standing in the crowded vestibule, and, in a spirit of friendliness , reached out to slap a friend on the buck who \'Jas passlng through the door and then stepped back and his shoulder caught the bottom of the fire extinguisher and dislodged it from the hook. The extinguisher, ~eighing about 45 pounds, fall and ca ught him on t~e foot, breaking his foot. The extinguisher \'las hanging in the southeast corner of the vestibule and the top of it ~as&} feet from the floor. It was installed on a regulation hook ~1hich wa s in good condition and, i n addition, had spikes on each side of it to keep it from suaying, so that it uas necessary to raise the extinguisher before i t could be dislodged. The accompanying sketch will shocr the approximate p os i t ion of the extinguisher and a diagrw:i of the room. I am als o including the hook which held the extinguisher, for your observat ion.

I now plan to have Dro Chambers and Dro Lauzer make a complete examination and report, together with recommendations, on this caseo I am inclined to believe that these doc.~ ors will recommend that Corra be sent to some other doctor for an opinion. I also discussed with these doctors the matter of the Medical Advisory Board's not fu.ncti~ning properly and Dro Chambers told me that he will go before the doctors at their next meeting and re quest that they make decisions on the oases which are put before the Board, trying to handle them in an orderly way. He admits that the way the Board h.e.s been handling oases has not been satisfacto:cy, but he still thinks that it can be rre.de to work out.

Upon the face of it;., Doctor Krueger's letter is a "negative preg:uantn., and does not in fact answer your question. I think it would be well, some time next week, to have the Doctor come to my office, so that we can dismuss the matter from the viev~-point of the la:w, and the facts,. It would certainly seem to the writer _that a rupture caused from lifting, \"lhile the i'iorkman nas actually performing work in extra~hazardous employment with The Union Pacific Coal Company, inould show ·some breaking of tissues, or there could not have been then and there a rupture. It would seem to the writer that this is a selfevident axiom. To determine whether or not there was tearing of tissues at the time and place of the employment is essentially the province of the surgeon, and if the surgeon cannot discover any such rupture, the s1 tuation is no diffe1.. ent than if the ,i'!orkman had been struck on the head by a hammer, and could not discover who struck him. Hernias resulting from trauma or violence, causing rupture, are compensable, but hernias which are congenital, of slow but steady development, and which may be "fired" by the person stepping in an automobile, bending over to pick up a pin, or lifting some heavy substance, are not compensable, because the ~ernia in fact existed long· before the time and place of the pain, and long before the time and place .of the rupture, and ·was not primarily due to the employment, but was primarily due to the person's physical condition, like the gradual loss of hearj,ng, which the v.Titer is experiencing, or the gradual dimming 'o f 'the eyes, which the writer is experiencing. . �STAld>AllO ll>-Gt-10,000 FORM 2103 SUBJECT: THE UNION PACIFIC COAL COMPANY, IN REPLY PLEASE REFER TO OFFICE OF NO. I think you migb:c talk this over with the Doctor, and then at ·a convenient 'time next week, send him to my office.

There is hereby created a fund to be known as the "industrial accident fund," which shall be held by the state treasurer and by him deposited in such banks as are authorized to receive deposits of the funds of the state. The treasurer in making said deposits shall divide the said industrial accident fund into two distinct funds, one to be known as the "general fund" and the other to be known as the "reserve fund." The "general fund" as near as may be, shall be used for payment of all awards, claims and items of expense chargeable against the industrial accident fund, and .the "reserve fund" shall not be used for any of said payments unless the "general fund" at the time is insufficient to �WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION ACT 15 meet the demands upon it, in which case the treasurer shall transfer from t he "reserve f und" to the " general fund" a sufficient amount to meet the • immediate demands upon said "general fund." The purpose of creating said "reserve f und" is to provide a f und within the industrial accident fund sufficiently large to pay great a nd unu sual demands upon the industrial accident fund which might be caused by a large disaster or by several such disasters occurring within a short time, a nd the "rese rve fu nd" shall be kept apart from the "general fund," and as near as may be unused in accordance with said purpose.

Such payment shall be so made on or before the 15th day of the month follo,ving the month for which such payments are computed and paid. Each employer shall continue to. make monthly contributions as above provided unless his account, after making the hereinafter specified deductions therefrom, shall equal full two per cent (2%) of his annual payroll computed by multiplying his current month's payroll' of workmen engaged in eA'tra-hazardous employment by twelve and shall likewise be not less than three thousand dollars ($3,000.00) provided, however, that any employer whose account is overdrawn shall be required to pay monthly a sum of �16 WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION ACT money (including the payments as above specified) equal to four per .cent ( 4 % ) of the money earned by each of his employes engaged in such extrahazardous employment during each calendar month of such employment until such overdraft shall be paid.

In additi on t o the other paymen ts r eqµired by this section to be paid into the indu strial ac.cident fund, every employer engaged in any of t he occupations herein defi ned as extra-hazardous shall make a payment to be known as a "service and policing charge."

Smith, an employee of the C~lL!~~,.?1 Coal and Coke _C_oilp~ny, 0800.0b, on account of an alleged clcdm of loss·-or -nesrlng; · be.cause of Rn alleged injury, which he recel ved in the evJploy of the Central Coal ~.nd Coke Company. I listened to th0 testimony of the workm z.n, and to the testimony of Doctors Lauzer and 't'anm~r , and coul d d:i.scover but little, if any, defect in his hearing. The fact of the matter is he could he~r what ~ms said to him better than I could heer the questions. Bllt this is not the issue.

I do not believe that there are any grounds upon \·,h1ch the judgment of the Court can be reversed, chieny because of the attitude of the Supreme Court of myoming in recent cases brought before it. What occurs to me is this, by granting ~800 .. 00 to this ~orkman on account of his clairn thet his he~ring has been affected f;rom the slight injury rnich he- received, the court must have found that . the testimony of Vice-President Albert Roberts u2s true, and Albert Roberts• testimony is nABSOLUTELYn Steve Smith is a dangerous man to be .e mployed in the. mine. I hope I am not going beyond my sphere as an .attorney, but I think that I' would be a poor legal representative i:r this s:ttuation v,,ere not called to the attention of the head officials of' the operators.

Bayless City Dear Sir: '!he inclosed letter to Mr. Russell may be of interest to you. At any rate, I wish you would pass it on to Mr. Pryde and Mr. McAuliffe, because the matter of this statute was considered by them during the last two sessions of the Legislature. The matter is particularly interesting because the County Attorney told me he was going to open up a judgment of years ago in reference to a Cumberland miner, and I have heard of t,10 other cases in which an attempt is going to be made here in Rock Springs. Yours truly, (Sgd.) T.S. Taliaferro,Jr. TST:ga �l.ilJJ:' l August 9, 1935 Mr. T. C. Russell, Ass't. Mgr. Coal Department Anaconda Copp er Mining Co. 304 North Main Street Butte, Montana Dear Sir: Ackno,,l edging receipt of your letter of August 5th: I have before me the files obtained from the Clerk of the Court at Kemmerer in the accidents to August Mustonen, one occurring October 27, 1930, and the ather occurring October 2nd, 1925. This claim is being agitated by a man by the name of Dan Pallie, of Rock Springs, who is undertaking to induce workmen, whose compensation claims have been settled by final awards, to petition the court to reopen the judgments, under claims somewhat akin to the one that August Mustonen has filed with the court. In 1931 a commission of three lawyers brought in a revision of the Wyoming Statutes. These "revisioners" unwittingly, I think, caused the Legislature to repeal the statute, fixing one year as the limit within uhich "new trials" could be had and judgments modified because of "nerrly discovered evidence". In the Legislature of 1933 and in the Legislature of 1935, I tried to have the omitted statute restored by the Legislature, but the bills failed of enactment, not because there was any objection to them, but because it was difficult to get a sufficient number of members of the Legislature to see the importance of restoring the law, with the result that the bills lost out in the rush of busi11ess toward.a the end of the forty day term. During the Legislature of 1935, there was a consultation between the coal operators and the union officials at Cheyenne, and for the first time, Dan Pallie, and his associates, became aware of the unintentional mistake of the revisioners in 1931. Now the limitation of one year in which judgments may be opened, on account of the discovery of new evidence" is a general law, and was the law of the State of Ohio in 1886, when the Legislature of the Territory of Wyoming adopted the Civil Code of Ohio. 0 However, there are many cases now being th~eatened because Dan Pallie and his associates have discovered that the �- 2 - lirnitation was abolished in 1931, and they think that many cases are to be reopened under the claim that "new evidence" has been discovered, showing that the final settlements of years ago did not represent the full measure of the injuries. Of course, as men have gotten old, and weak, they are prone to claim their ailments are the result of their work, rather than the result of their age. The writer is getting quite weak, but he knows it is his age, and not any overwork that he ever dido Since receiving your letter, I have been giving this ' matter additional investigation, and I am inclined to think that notwithstanding the repeal of the statute, that these cases, which were settled ·t hree or four years ago, ~th stipulations, signed by both the employers and the employees, which is the situation in the Mustonen case, cannot be readjudicated by the court. In your case I have filed a "Special Appearance" in the court obj acting to the courts considering that the Diamond Coal and Coke Company has been brought under the jurisdiction of the court. I am inclosing a copy of this letter, if you care to pass the copy on to Mr. J. V. Dwyer. Yours truly, (Sgd.) TST:ga cc-Bayless, Pratt & Dwyer T. s.

Among her ctivities that involve danger to rnanY a ·f1 e an d limb are the extra-hazardous l occuPa tions of building and road con.on excavation work, and lumberstruc ti ' a jnu, 0 1 Visitors to this state have comrnented with surprise upon the lack of 1 a modern state program for dealing with occupational accidents. Florida increasingly needs accident compensatiox;t, which fifteen years' ex perience in America has demonstrated to be beneficial alike to employers, employees, and the whole community; Employers as well as safety experts and public officials throughout the country have given eloquent testimony to the fact that workmen's compensation laws, in addition to providing reasonable and certain care for injured workers and their dependents, have proved a most effective stimulus to Accident Prevention.

Coi::pt:n!J !io:i 1..:1·"'·• wit~ Sratc Fun c:J WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION LAWS Florida is a black spot on the Workmen's Compensation Map. In addition to the forty-three state laws shown on this map, Haw aii and Porto Rico, and the federal government for its own employees, have compensation laws. And Congress has just enacted a federal accident compensation law covering harbor workers in all states who are injured while at work on board a vessel. Every Canadian province is covered by such legislation, and the countries of South America are rapidly falling into line. Will Florida act now, and remove the black spot that projects from the map so conspicuously? at a work accident means to e Wage-earner's family and to the COlJUnunity .th .

"Eventually he may go to the county hospital for a long period of time, and his wife will be taken care of by the ,Associated Charities, or will undertake work beyond her strength and in turn become ill. "The employer has to break a new man into the work. "The community, friends or relatives have to support the family, and the man is inefficiently and haphazardly taken care of because of lack of organized social endeavor to meet the problem presented." • -· �Costly "Damage Suit" System Stilll Exists in Florida N FLORIDA, under the antiquated system of employer's liability, both employer and em" ployee 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 damages; the injured employee who sues his employer gets practically nothing; even when he wins. he must divide what he gets with his lawyer. I "Don't Be Tricked!" Missouri Employers Warned the Public ~-- · · Unsuited to Modern Conditions Commissions on employers' liabil·t I y ap. pointed in over twenty states have, aft er e:x:haustive investigation, recommended a com. plete departure from this system of law. It was demonstrated that the doctrine of employers' liability is unsuited to modern conditions of employment; that industry is now 80 complex and highly organized that the causes of accidents have become obscure and difficult fo identify. As a result, r eports show that in a substantial ¼ r': .,....- ~ -~'.:.. ~-=-~, number of cas_e s no recovery whatever is possi- ,~;,', .I ble and in a still larger proportion, the damages \ awarded are negligible. Occasionally, we hear of large awards 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 50 per cent of the sum granted consume a sub• stantial part of the money awarded. M ISSOURI employers and wageeamers, 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 game" counter proposition put forward by a certain class of "damage suit" lawyers. I~ its campaign literature the Missoun employers' association declared that the workmen's compensation law "will boost Missouri" and that it "will en<:,ourage 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 Florida now do as well? Finally, a law suit stirs up hard; feeling be• tween the worker and his ~mployer. Harmful to the Community The present system in Florida assumes that the workman accepts the . risks of his employ• ment and gives him the right to sue, ~nd to col• lect a sum as damages for the injury received, only if his employer is negligent. Forty-three states have already adopted workmen's compensation laws because theY have come. to recognize that the law of ein· ployer's liability is inherently unfitted to inod· em indusbial conditions, grossly unfair to tbe worker, vexatious and sometimes very co5tly to the employer, and harmful to the coJ11• munity. �How Florida Call1l lighten the Burden p.MJL!ES that are plunged into 't tion as a result of a work dest1 u . . t that kills or disables the breadacciden ust be ass1ste • d .

HE time is ripe for Florida to join the other forward-looking states in adopting a Workmen's Accident Compensation law. The great strides that Florida is makingindustrially as well as in street and highway a nd b uilding construction - is attracting nationwide attention. Greater production and construction mean more accidents, and call for the modern and scientific remedy. Employers' liability, with iis long-drawn-out, costly and· uncertain damage suits, is an unjust and outgrown system. Workmen's compensation - the modern plan - provides adequate and certain payments on a weekly basis at the time they are most needed. lll!: 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 industrial cripples. This legislation, which is supplementary to workmen's compensation, is in effect in forty states. Having taken this forward step, why should Florida delay any longer in adopting a workmen's compensation law? There is an additional - and a new - reason why the need for action by Florida at this time is more than ever urgenL On March 4, Congress enacted a law ext~nding fed· eral accident compensation to local harbor workers injured on board a vessel at the dock, The harbor workers thus covered include not only longshoremen who load and unload vessels but also ship repairmen and others - no less than twenty-two different crafts. The new federal law, effective July 1, 192 7, applies to all states including Florida, But in Florida - unless the legislature promptly adopts supplementary legislation - these same employees, if disabled or killed while working on shore, have no recourse except suits for damages against their employers with "the laws delays" and the expenses and uncertainty and friction of litigation. Now that workmen's compensation is for the first time to be in operation in Florida covering a large number of hazardous employmen.b, isn't it timely an,d fair to all other employers and their employees to adopt a reasonable state workmen's compensation law?

They have no accident comp ensation law, not even an em loyers' liability statute, and there is P • l e prov1s10n •• f or not 50 much as a s1mp accident reporting, to say nothing of the most elementary regul ations fo r accident prevention. Employees engaged in building construction and woodworkin g p lan ts, painters, electricians, drivers and elevator operators, are amo ng those workers in extra-hazardous occupations in the District of Columbia who are left with practically no protection when injured in the course of employment. Employers as well as safety experts and public officials throughout the country have given eloquent testimony to the fa'ct that workmen's compensation laws, in addition to providing reasonable and certain care for injured workers and their dependents, have proved a most effective stimulus to Accident Prevention. ·strict of Columbia C The Tragedy of Work Accidents What a· work accident means to the Wage-earner's family and to the community without compensation protection has been · vividly set forth by Warren H. Pillsbury who served as a rnember of the California Industrial Accident Commission. Describing the tragedy of un• compensated disability to a worker, he wrote: ''%en obliged to leave work, the mcoJJ1e • ?f hunself and his family is ended. His sav- lllga will seldom last for more than a week or hvo of idleness.

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 damages; the injured employee who sues his employ · . er gets practically nothmg; even when he win h s, e must divide what he gets with his lawyer. Unsuited to Modem ·conditions It was d e monstrated by investigating commissions in over twenty states that the doctrine of employers' liability suits for damages_ which a t least so ftened somewhat the harsh is unsuited to r..:10de rn conditions o f employment; that industry is now so comp lex and highly organized that ~he c~uses of a ccidents have become obscme a n d difficult ~o identify. r ules o f the old common law - As a result, reports show that in a substantial n umber of ca ses no recovery whatever is possible and in a still larger proportion, the damages awarded are negligible. Occasionally, we hear of large awa1ds being made after a case has dragged through the courts for years during which time the family ~;•~-ij5~·.::-rt_P:~-;~ - ;.. - ~ · ISSOURI employers and wageM earners, through their state organizations, actively supported the workmen's compensation law which was recently ratified by popular vote. In the campaign, they widely distributed the above cartoon warning the voters not to be tricked by a "shell • • put f orward game" count er propos1bon by a certain class of "damage suit" lawyers. In its camp~n 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 fac- tories 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 Congress now do as well for the District of Columbia? has been left destitute. But even in a successful suit, court costs and attorney's fees sometimes ranging as high as 50 per cent of the sum granted consume a !!Uh• stantial part of the money awarded. Finally, a law suit stirs up hard feeling be, tween the worker and his employer. Harmful to the Community Under the present procedure in the Di5trict of Columbia •perhaps five~sixths of the work· men seriously injured at work receive no corn· pensation. Forly-three states have already adopted workmen's compensation laws because they . • f suits have come to recogmze that the system 0 for damages is inherently unfitted to 111od· • d ustr1·a1 cond"1tions, • ern m grossIy unfair to the • · costly work er, vexatious and somet"unes v ery co111to the employer, and harmful to the munity. �flow Accident Compensation C AMILIES that a,e plunged destitution as a result of a work 1 accident that kills or disables the breadwinner must be assisted. A responsibility falls upon the State, wheth e r or not the accident is due to the hazard of the job or to the negligence o f e m ployer or employee. If the State h as no compensation law a heavy burden of relief is thrown upon pub lic and private charity, and the community shares this burden. But the d istribution of the burden is not just, _a,.1_1d ~µch reliance on charity is uncertain a~d grading. --de:- • an ig ten the Burden into F L• h ,..., -- • i•II, I ' !',',( :•11 : Vi/orkmen's C ompensatlon • Stimulates Accident Prevention The modern principle is that the ~his c ~ art shows graphically the reduction of industrial burden' of ac.::ident relief should b e a ccide n ts m one lar g e ~stahlishment following the enactment of borne by the industry.

The American Association for Labor Legislation has recently made a survey of work accidents in the District, supplementing its ~imifa~ study canned on in 1923-24. It shows · · that, while Congress delays, tragedies occur nn ~he homes of injured workers. These findings have been laid before Congress. Of sixty-one accident cases just examined in ,vhich ihe compensation is known, fifty. two received absolutely nothing from their employers as compensation for their injuries. Only three men received something-after strong bra.de union 1pyessw·e had been applied-from liability insurance companies. In twenty-one of ~hese 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 relation 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 Christmas holidays, he went to the widow with a check for $1,500. Her son was out of a job, her married daugh• ter could .not help, her yQunger 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 scaffold. Such a condition is indeed "intolerable," Congress alone can provide the needed remedy. Accident Compensation Bill Now· Squarely Up to Congress Earlier efforts to secure this legislation have been blocked by private insurance coJJl• panies. Recently the A~erican Association for Labor Legislation, in cooperation with workers directly affected, has worked out a compromise with a view to getting the long-deferred remedy at th is session of Congress. The simple formula is embodied in a brief bill intro• duced by Senator Blaine ( S. 3565), which by reference simply extends to private employees in the District the provisions of the federal Longshoremen's Compensation Act of 1927.

Practically every increase • government interference • with b in • taxes. and in usmess is due more to our business men t h an to our politicians. Business men are the most influential class in !he country. They never had so much influence in any ot~er.country as they have here, and never so ~-u~h mfluence here as they have now. Most poht1c1ans do not disregard what business men want. They may disregard what business men say they :vant, bu~ 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 Nation'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 statem_ent~ in Herbert H~over's speech accepting nommat10n for the Presidency were more generally endorsed by business men than these: "It is the duty of the Government to avoid regulation as long as equal o~po~tunity_ to all citizens is not invaded and pubhc ngh_ts vb10l~ted. The Government_ sh~uld _n_ot en~age m usmess in competition with its citizens.

It has been constantly asserted that the. Federal _Government has built larger and more expen:'1ve post office buildings than private compames would have built to handle the same amount of business, and that the Federal Govern~nent has was~ed large amounts in "improving" waterways 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 Government of $200,000 upon a building or anything else in his own community ,vhen $100,000 would have been sufficient, or even too much? Reo-ardless of the merits of the Boulder Dam controversy, for example, is it not significant th~t thouo-h there is much opposition to it from business i:, men in other parts of the country, ~here is no perceptible opposition from the. busme~s men of Los Angeles and the surroundmg territory? · The expenditures on highways within recent have been enormous.

Th_e re is only a handful of theoretical socialists this country. Extremely fe w of our business· men are theoretical socialists. But that is no rea~on why we should comfort ourselves with the belief that socialistic policies will make no progress, especially if we have only to look a round us to_ see that they are making progress. Our danger 1s not from the theoretical socialist but from the practical socialist. ' 111 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 takes in too much territory. Nobody wants any of his own territory taken in. Some Socialists Are Dangerous A practical socialist is a man who will favor almost any form of governmental action, however socialistic, which he believes will benefit him. Now the woods are full of practical socialists; and they are dangerous because there are so many of them, and because, unlike the theoretical socialists, they get something done. You canno·t get many people to favor government regulation or ownership of all business, but you can always get a gr~_at many to fa":or almost any kind of govern~ent interference ~1th almost any one kind of busmess.

Vv atson, an actuary, after an investigalr<;>n,. r~portecl abQ_ut a year ago · that the West V1rg1111a workmen's compensation fund was "impaired" to the ex~ent of almost $5,000,000, a conclition sa id by insurance experts to be the result of t he charging by the state of a rate much lower th an has been shown by actuarial figures to be sou nd . The result is; in effect, that the public i pay ing part of the premiums for workmen's comp ensation insurance in West Virginia, and t ha t taxes in the state are thereby made higher than they otherwise would be. F ine examples of the inconsistency of many business men who profess to be opposed to "government in business" are afforded in the field of transportation. The railway came after the waterway and the highway, but for almost a hundred years has been our principal carrier of commerce. Some say the 9wnership and operation of ~ailroads is prope-rly ~ . governm 7nt f~nctwn. Whether it is or not, 1t 1s a funct10n \Vh1ch our Government does not perform. Our busmess men are mainly responsible for this. They always have opposed govern·m ent ownership of railways. After two years of government ~anagement !he railways were returned to p~1vate <;>Pe.ration mainly because an ove~whelmmg ma;onty of business men demanded 1t. As business men favor private management they might rea_sonablf be expect_ed to favor co~ditions conducive to 1ts success, a_nd the condr• tions es senti"al . to the successful private manageI ment of railroads are mu~h the same as t 10sef • J to successful pnvate management o essen t ia any business. v· . ..

What Makes a Failure? There are still other questions that may be asked of business men who are backing government ownership and operation of the barge line. What evidence will be required to show that it is a failure? What will be done with it if it is a failure? No answer ever has been made to these questions by either the business men or the politicians who have got the Government to engage in transportation. If the measure ·of success or failure is to be merely the freight rates charge~, and not the total capital and operating costs mcurred as c?mpared with the service rendered, then plamly the Government may incur heavy !osses to. be paid from taxes without the <;xpenm:n_t b~1~1g held a failure. , Furthermore, with munt~1paltt1es throughout the Mississippi Valley inves_tmg substantial amounts of public money m water t!JJ I I I [ f �terminals, it seems certain h measured by ordinary t <:t even though st d d h • economic and bus· ' an ar s, t _e experiment could b ~ness demonstrated to be a f .1 . e conclusively tremely difficult to o-et ~t~ it woul~ be exd d t:. arge service aban one ' or even to prevent it from b • tended. emg exG ove~nm~nt. ownership and operation of a barge l11~e is Just as -~ocialistic as government ownership and operation of steamships on the ocean, although business 1:1-en are trying to get the_ Govern_ment to ?ell its_ ocean steamships w hile favoring extension of its barge line operation s.

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.

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 .........
