Beer Eire:
The wlecooein Steel Company and the International Herveeter
Company have been sued, one cult by Dominic Ferry and the other by
elohele Froveneeno, in the Qlnneeoto Court for the llth Sudiciel
District. The Complaint in each cose is the same, end the contention
of each employee ie toot he paic in certain contributions under the
Industrial Accident Department Flon od the International Qerveeter
Company which was in effect May 1, 1910. It wee discontinued at
the ore mines on September 50, 191}, end in all deoertmente it wee
discontinued, so fer oe contributions from emoloyeeo were concerned,
from and after Jenuery 1, 1915. At that time the ore mines were
operated by the $1scone1n Steel Gcmpeny, end the Jieconeio Steel
Company was one of the parties to the Industrial Accident Department
Flon of the Enieroetlonel gorveeter Company. I understand that the
‘ departments of the wisconsin Steel Company at that time were the
iooth Chicago Qteel Llll, the Qeeriog Rolling Jill, the Eeweioe rlme,
the Agnew mime, the Bonham Cool cine, end the Coke éorke.
I em trying to gei stetletlce showing what the total com-
tributions by emoloyeee were lo the period from ne; 1, 1ylO to
oeptember $0, 1913 in the oeee of the ore mines, and Deoewber $1,
191Q in ice ease or the other deoerinente. Teen 1 went to find
the total amount paid out from the Industrial Accident Decertmeoi’e
fund for injuries and disabilities frcm.mey 1, 1910 to oeptember SO,
1915. I should also llke to find out what were the total payments
from ire fund from gay 1, 1§1C to Qep€ember 50, 1913 for disabilities
of leee than 38 days.
doot of our records in the Chicago office seem to have
been destroyed, L find or old report made by er. E. J. Semeit, eco
is mow deed, which shows for the three years ending Auguet 31, 1911,

Have you yet been able to prepare the figures in

YOUR LETTER sumscr DOml.Ill.C P€l°I’y VS. WlSCOY`1¤'3lIl  
“'“E“° Company, International Harvester
Company; and Michele Provensano
vs. Wisconsin Steel Company,
l}l"2§.}'l£l€iEl.QH§}.Ill§.EY§§.E§.Yj.@.Fl¥El?.*}¥}I£.;i.-
I thank you for your letter of October 10th, stating
that with your letter of July 22nd you gave me the desired figures.
I am sorry I overlooked that letter, which was in the file.
Under item $ you have given the total amount paid out
1 under the Industrial Accident Department Plan ”for injuries or
disabilities of less than $0 days' duration in the following
periods". Incidentally, the heading should be ”of $0 days and
less duration" and not ”of less than $0 days' duration". I see
that in my letter of June 28th I did refer to "disabilities of less
than $0 days."
However, the Industrial Accident Department Plan stated
on page T that “During the first $0 days of disability one~quarter
of the employe's average daily pay" would be paid, and that after
the first $0 days half-pay woudl be paid. Again on page $ the
Plan referred to one~fourth wages paid by the Company “during the
first thirty days of disability *****."
I am sorry that I have misled you, but you had better
check the payments listed under your item $ and see if any of them
were made for disabilities lasting $0 days, I imagine there would
be very few, if any, of such cases.
Moreover, you should include under item 3 the amounts
paid for the first $0 days of injuries lasting over $0 days. You
will recall that in my letter of July 25th to Mr. H. 0. Bercher,
Works Auditor of the Wisconsin Steel Works, of which I sent you a
copy, I said that the real distinction in my mind was between those
disabilities which were paid for by the Company alone and those
- which were paid for partly by the employees' contributions and
partly by the Company‘s contributions. I ended up in the last
paragraph that we should include the amounts paid for the first
$0 days when the injuries lasted more than $0 days.
The question is, therefore, whether the total of $$6l2.69,
which you have shown under item $, as the total amount paid out for
injuries and disabilities of less than $0 days, includes the amount
paid out for such disabilities and the first $0 days of disabilities
which lasted more than $0 days,with the added point above set out
that the period included is those of $0 days and less andnot those
of less than $0 days.
In your memorandum sent with your letter of July 22nd,
you have noted that the contributions from May l, 1910 to December

FOR MR. **2-
YOUR LETTER SUBJECT
jl, 1910, in the amount of $U§l.l6, include a credit of $2}l.OO
which your records do not connect with the employees’ contribu-
tions, and that there is no record of why the credit was made.
I suppose as there is a question of doubt, we had better give
the benefit of the doubt to the employees’ contributions, but
I do not quite understand how you got the figure included as
a part of the employees’ contributions, and yet your records
do not connect it with the employees‘ contributions. At any
rate, if we are going to put the statement in evidence, we
should be definite one way or the other, either including it
or excluding it.
I wish to get these computations in shape to give to
Mr. John M. Gannon, our attorney. I think they should be cer-
tified to by the Auditor in each case, and then Mr. Gannon hopes
to get an agreement with the attorney for the plaintiffs that
these computations may be put in evidence without introducing the
original books from which they were taken,
I enclose a form of certificate which you can fill out
and certify to, assuming that the figures you gave with your letter
of July 22nd were prepared on the basis hereinabove set out.
