This appears to have been the practice of the Store for some time; and in making such adjustment to conform to the June 30th inventory Form 23 for that month absorbs the under-estimates applicable to the five previous months, or a total of some $900. 00. In other words the merchandise sold. irl the last six months amounting to $39620.72 is estimated to have cost only five-sixths of that sum, but an inventory develops that the estimate for the period was about $900.00 too small, which is taken care of by adjusting in June accounts. Every article sold at the Tono Store carries a margin compatible with market fluctuations and of competition. ,. .~ If our understand'is incorrect, we would be glad to have �[. • /· Mr. :lm. • Hann .

The statement should show, regarding each note, date, by whom issued, for what issue d , time, rate of interest, and amount; also the date up to which the interest has been paid. It is noted from your· report covering examinat ion of Treasury· Department's accounts, l~ovember 10_, 1914, regarding ~63,000 worth of notes given by iJaba sh Lumber & Shingle Co. covering def erred . . payments ·on purchase price of timber on land belonging to the Washington Union Coal Co., that if any of the notes or accrued interest thereon are not paid for a pe·riod of 90 days after due, the Coal Co. may declare the agreement forfeited and cancelled. It is presumed the contr~ct protects the Coal Co. by a provision restricting the cutting and removal of timber until certain payments have been made. stated differently, is it pos s ible for the Lumber Co. to remove all the timber covered by the contract from the land before payment therefor has been made?

Rock Springs. Wyoming, in service 1 year, was examined at my office November 11 0 19310 He gave me the following h~story: He had an operation for appendicitis two years a go in Italy. His present complaint is continuous pain in back except when quieto He alleges that this pain is due to an accident that he received on May 41> 1931, while working as timberman in Rock Springs Coal Mine Noo8. He was struck ·on the shoulder by a rock 1·rom the roof. He was taken to The Wyoming General Hospital where he was treated by Dr. Arbograst for one month. Examination of chest and spine by x-ray shO'Ned the following: "Chest: Some enlargement of peri bronchial glands. Some infiltration toward the bases more markea right side with some extending toward the apices. Apices clear. No. ToBo "Entire Spine: Cervical spine: negativeo Dorsal spine lies diagonally from above downward to the left with slight curvature ·to , the right in the upper dorsal, and to the left in the middle dorsal and to the right again in the lower dorsalo Lumbar spine shows a marked curvature to the left with deformity of all the bodies. No x-ray evidence of tuberculous destruction of the vertebral bodies. Slight lipping of the lower dorsal arul all the lumbar vert ebrao" His urinalysis was as follows: "Clear, amber, Sp.Gv. l'.ll9, acid, no albumen, no sugar. Microscopical negative." Examination of his blood was as follows: ed . rred Will �~ poM / ~ line Ired. rred "Reds 4,560,00J Whites 6,9(}~ Hemoglobin 90% Polymorphonuclear neutrophilic 62% " eosinophilic 1%.

There was no evidence of Tuberculosis of lungs or spine. In my opinion, it is possible tha t an injury to his back has probably aggravated an old arthritis of his spine which predated his injury. • .

IN RE P L Y PLEA. S E H. EFER TO NO. 1\!Ir . George B. Pryde Gity Dear Sir, I inclose you a letter t hat I have written Mr. Vi . A. Mui r . This may seem a small t hing , but the reason t axe s a r e so high is because we have not watch ed small t hing s, whi ch t h rough t he years have developed intu large t hing s. The con t ingent expen s e s of County Orficers and State Or f i cers have soa red sin ce 1 91 2 . ¼e ar e paying monthl y salaries to Constabl e s, wh o have n ever done one l ick of' work in consideration of their s al a r i as. 'I'he Cor oner' s 01 1 i ce is a needless expense, and the work coul d be a s Pel l and bett er per f ormed by J~stices of the Peac e . If the custom should be t hat County and Prosecuting Attor neys can be paid. out of publ ic i'unds for maki ng i nv e stigations, in compensation ca ses, they woulQ be ~aking t heir s ea sona ul e va ca·tion s from tn e At l an tic to the Paci f ic, inspired ~::::::-:;,,:=, , in the hope to establish mer itorious cl aims f or- comp ensation, Ht he curtailment oi public expens e s sh oulQ not be consictered~1 But little consia.eration is nov1 exercised because the expens es 01· investigation s are saddled onto t h e employer , and what public o1'1'icer cares as long as a coal company or an oil company is chargeable with the expens e s·:' In a recent case, the County and Prosecuting Attor ney of this County brought an osteol?ath to Green River, and he vrn. s allowed expert witness fees oi· $10.00 a day, and his mileage. 'l'his was done while I was a way in Denver, but it seems to make no ciii'ference to . public oi'i'icials what the expenses are as long as they are chargeable to private enterprise. The dii'ficulty is not i 'undarnentally that pubJ.ic of ficers do _not care. I run not charging that. But, the public oi'i'icer is generally nothing more than a man· in the- street, anu he a.oes not recognize or know t11e awful struggle that the business man has to ma.Ke in order to meet his payroll, and to .keep the wheels of industry turning. The man in the street, who is out oi" a job, sympathizes with himself, -but put him to v10rk tomorrow, he would not speed up his own motions, or his own activity a hair's breadth because in so doing, he could help his employer. It is but the old ciassic saying that: HT.he hog never loo.ks up to him who thrashes a.ov,rn the acorns 11 • -Yours i'ST:ga �,, ·..._ ~_: : ,;.l _.,. ~ • (: :::--~~•\~~ ~;, /! :,.__~Q.~: ~t-;'"" ·;: •rt:/ . t ~•J_:~';..

Will you please give me a full report on this case. �Ul.TI:TED MINE WOIUCERS OF AMERICA Local Union No. 2616 Superior, Wyoming, May 14th, 1931. Mr. Eugene McAuliffe, President,Union Pacific Coal Co., Omaha. Dear Mr. McAuliffe: I am writing to you for advicm on a disputed compensation claim of one of our members. Brother Louis Tamboni was injured, ruptured, dropping a railroad car on or under :B mine tipple, September 5th, 1930. :By advice of the doctor, after securing a truss, he continued to work until Febr. 22nd, 1931, when it became necessary for him to go through an operation. He lost two months work through the operation. \'ihen the employees report of the accident went in, which was when he went to the hospital, he °\'7aS told the five months limitation had expired, and therefore, void. As Secretary of the local I fill out the majority of claims for the members, but would not think of sending in a report of injury where no time is being lost. I suspect this is my fault not reporting or sending in the yellow sheet 9 when the accident happened. However, the man did not know and the doctor was not sure whether an operation would be necessary or not. Tamboni•s condition t1as known to the outside foreman, Mr. Ward, and to · ·t he Mine Superintendent, Mr. G. A. :Broun, from the time it happened until he came be.ck from the hospital. Please answer at your earliest conv:enience, With kind personal regards and best 'l'lishes. Respectfully yours, (Sgd) CHAS.

Rock Springs. Wyoming, in service 1 year. was examined at my office November 11, 1931. He gave me the following history: He had an operation for appendicitis two years ago in Italy. His present complaint is continuous pain in back except when quiet. He alleges tha-t this pain is due to an accident . that he received on May 4 9 1931, while working as timberman in Rock Springs Coal Mine Noo8o He was struck ·on the shoulder by a rock from the roof. He was taken to The Wyoming General Hospital where he was treated by Dr. Arbograst for one month. Examination of chest and spine by x-ray showed the following: "Chest: Some enlargement of peri bronchial glands~ Some infiltration toward the bases more marked right side with some extending toward the apices. Apices clear. No. T.B. "Entire Spine: Cervical spinG negative. Dorsal spine lies diagonally from above downward to the left with slight curvature ·to , the right in the upper dorsal, and to the left in the middle dorsal and to the right again in the lower dorsal. Lumbar spine shows a marked curvature to the left with deformity of all the bodies. No x-ray evidence of tuberculous destruction of the vertebral bodies. Slight lipping of the lower dorsal and all the lumbar vertebra." His urinalysis was as follows: "Clear, amber, Sp. Gv. 1·) 19, aoid, no albumen, no sugar. Microscopical negative." , Examination of his blood was as follows: - ___ _, --.....;._ �"Reds 4,560 00() Whites 6,90() Hemoglobin 90% Polymorphonuclear neutrophilic 62% " eosinophilic 1% " basophilic 0% Mononuclears Large 4% Lymphocytes 33% 9 Conclusions: Mr. Angelo Grelli is suffering from a Rotatory Lateral Curvature of the spine together with an Arthritis of the Lower Dorsal and all the Lumbar Vertebraeo There was no evidence of Tuberculosis of lungs or spine. In my opinion, it is possible that an injury to his back has probably aggravated an old arthritis of his spine which predated his injury. ~JohnR.

PRYDE �rrAHD.WI FORM 2103 SUBJECT: ll~-b-10,000 THE UNION PACIFIC COAL COMPANY Rock Springs, i~oming September 28, 1932 OFFICE OF Attorney IN REPLY PLEASE REFER TO NO, Mr. H.J. Harrington Rock Springs, Wyoming Dear Sir: In reference to the voucher of $750.00 authorized to be paid to John Petrovich as a gratuity: Mr. McAuli ffe understands the circumstances under which this voucher is autho r ized. It seems to me the situation is a delicate one and t hat a general release might or might not be deemed advisable. We are to stipulate $750.00 by way of compensation is to be awarded, and we believe that that award is all that the workman is entitled to under the law, yet it is proposed to give him $750.00 more, and not to continue him in our employ. A situation of this sort to my mind should be carefully considered lest at some future time our own act in the premises may be construed as recognizing a condition bordering upon permanent total disability. Of course I disclaim any such thought. Still, it seems to r.ie that it would be wise to have Mr. McAuliffe consider the situation and to decide the language to be employed in draVIing the voucher, and whether or not some form of contract in the shape of a "general release" might be deemed advisable . • TST:li �Form 2191 / UNION PACIFIC SYSTEM TELEGRAM Time Filed _ _ _ _ _ M I ~ J' // (Zz;.,___~ l OR SI K o~aha Aug 26 ,. l83Z GBP Rcck2.pl'i~s B-lOO s~tiafaotory settle on basis fifty per cent for leg t hru com~ens~ t ion fund xer.r.ainin.., fifty peroent gre.tuity b oth pr efer ably on wont hly payw.ent basiia . if necessary 1uake full oe.sh settlei:1ent M- 88 El, CA 1044 ~:;. n,Eii5aooM �Form2191 c.s.

E REFER TO ry Dear Sir: I am sending you a copy of the letter that I have written to Mr. McAuliffe. •Please understand that I do. not in any way question Mr. McAuliffe's action in accepting Galicich's thought in the matter. Still, I think that I owe myself a duty, and that duty is to make my position plain. Mr. Harrington will say that we have never consented to· deviate in the least by stipulation from the plain expression of the statute. If Mr. Galicich can say that one tenth of the sight of an eye is the equivalent to the loss of an eye, Mr. •Muir can say that one fifteenth is the equivalent to the loss, and Mr. Brown can say that one twentieth is the equivalent to the loss. The result of all of which is that you have an elastic system which will expand or contract, in accordance with how the Court, lawyers and jurors feel about it.

Galicich c:.nd the conir.muity knoning that the ar:ar d ·i •s in the na t 1.1 . re of c. settlement, outside of all legal questions involved . ~ver since the compensation..~ m.mt into effect, this o.ffice has never consented that 11 permanet.'t~cu.sability" should be a matter of a.p :i;io1"'tionmeut . t he sta1ute sp e cirically requires that all awarcis for injuries greater than the schedule fixed for the loss of an eye, a l •::.g, &n a:cm, or a foot, shall be based upon those schedules ., and none other. Ever since 1915, \ihen the -l aw ·\'J ent into effect, and t..rirough fu1 unbroken line of jud.icial decisions, no such inju:cy has ever been c.dr1itted as "partial total disabilityn . .All perl!l&nent injuries have heretofore been -classif ied as nperl)lanent total disabilities" or "permenent partial disabil:Lties 11 • This is not true in many of the other stat ~s, but one must reme1Uber that the \,hole ·s ystem of the Wyoming lav1 is basad upon a different foundation than other . systen;s. And this is the reason that the Vlyoming law pays to the unskilled injured wo:::-kman, who has worked only intermittently, like coal miners, sometimes only t \'Jo days in the vieek, the greatest aviards at the least expense to the employers. Your letter changes fifteen continuous years of construction, a.no. holds that one ,'jho has practically 10% of the sight of an eye, that was injured while in the employ of The Union Pacific Coal Com- pany. is to 'be considered, 'because of disease destroying thG. sight in the other eye, "permanently totally ctisabled". During the last fifteen years, the American Medic~l Associatior~ has been driven from pillar to post upon the same subject. At one time 1 t a.a.opted an expression "industrial blindness'' , Vihich of course did not adapt itself to any tangible theory, e.s 2. r orkman might, ba Ttinciustrially blind 11 in the repairing of Geneva watches, ana no-c "ind.ustr·ially blind" in sawing cord uood. This . enabled Compens r-:tio:1 Commissions not only to play "battledore a.116. shuttl1::cock" wita I �industrial enterprises, but politics with the workmen., their tlamilies, their friends, and their unions. So we find in Colorado, that workmen who retained 20%, and who had lost 80% of t heir vi. c•ion ,ii h~ve been declared by commissions, and courts, to be "industrially blind". The American Medical Association, a t i t s. m,?. eti :ng e t Atlant i c City, in 1925., di s allov:.red blindness if 1% of vision was retained. So that, Pavich does not come within the more moder n r ul e ad.op ted by the Alileric0l"1 t ur geons 1 nor r,i t hin the rule t hat has been in vogue in the courts of Southern Wyoming for the past fifteen y sa:cs. 1 But the a.bov,~ is a sm&ll I:oiri t i n tr1 e ca ~e .

"PREVIOUS D!SABIEITY". Ii' :fr. Galicich is satisfied that one 1.n:hose eye has · been affected by cat,_~:c act;, out~.dus oi' any kn.o~m injury, either i!i nile 1n the employ o:f The Union ? a cific Coal Company, or any other industry, comes w·l thiu the t ern nprevious disabilityr1, I 1.ould ce1·tainly neither affirm nor de:ay. In the P.avicili ·case, while in the eciployaent of' The union Pacific Coal Company, the partial loss of the _sight of one eye is the extent of what the sta.·tut·s calls 1Tinjur y in the course of employinent;n. 0 Whether Pavich had lost all v.:;.siou in the iu.jurad ey•'e; any deduction could be made .for the eye destroyed through years and years of disease, is a question that I desir r:3d, in .connection with o·ther mat·t;ers, to take up wlth my superiors in the legal profession. But, uhatever migbt be the construction of the statute in relation to the t •1;0 p:ropositi ons above discussed., the statute itself needs careful analysis and consideration, and I can never accept as being "judicial" the view that Galici.c h takes of it, which view appar ently appeals to you. Reau the excerpt from the statute given above, and then consider Mr. Galicich's aue.1 3 sir:.. Quoting from Mr .
