Mr. V. 0. Murray
(CC:

Mr. J. L. Rawlings)

Refering to our discus sion today r elative t o supplying currency
and coin for cashing pay roll vouche r s a t Supe rior.
Our former practice was t o have the Rock Springs National Bank
send the Store Manager at Superior wha t currency he r equired each pay
day by registered mail insured and what coin he required by insured
express collect.
The bank sent this office a debit slip for the exact amount of the
insurance and postage on the currency.
The Store Manager at Superior paid the expr ess charges on the
coin when he received it.
I f it is decided to s end ca sh to Superio r to pay our pay roll
vouchers I recommend tha t the same arran ,ement be made with the Rock
Springs National Bank to s end pay roll money to the Mine Superint endent
at Superior.
Attached is copy of letters showing how this was handled.
ur records indicate that from 40% to 50% of the Supe rior Mine pay
roll uas paid by our Superior Store when the arrangement was in effect.
Insurance charges on currency is 8¢ per thousand dollars or fraction
thereof. Postage is 3¢ per ounce or fraction thereof and r egistry fee
is .30¢.
Insurance and expres s charges on coin is ~2.33 for the first $100.00.
From $100.00 to ;&gt;200.00 charge is $2.42 and from $200.00 to (~300.00
charge is ~t2.82.
r-~ail leaves Rock Springs at 7:40AM and Arrives in Superior at 9:30AM.
Leaves Superior at 3:45PM and arrives in Rock Springs 5:10PM every day
except Sunday and holidays.
Express leaves Rock Springs every morning at 8:15AM except Saturdays,
Sundays and legal holidays, and returns to Rock Springs immediately after
unloading at Superior.

(CC - Mr. J. B. Hughes
Mr . J . L. Rawl i ngs
rfr . J . D. Foster)
A problem has arisen at Superior concerning t he cashing of
employes' che cks a t t hat district .

As you will probably r ecall, the

M &amp; K Market at Superior doing business at the U. P. Store in Superior
has been . ca shing t he payroll checks .
I am enclosing a copy of a letter from 1r. O. E. Bertagnolli,
Cashier of t he North Side St ate Bank, notifying t he M &amp; K 1-iar ket that the
bank can no longer advance ca sh for thi s purpose .

It is my understanding

that othe r pl a ces of business in Superior, Point of Roc ks and Thayer
Junction having t hi s s ervice have also been not ified.
The U. M. ·f. of A. contract provides t hat wage s be paid by check,
Section 77, Page 63 of the Agr eement r aading :
11 ,1U
, l 1vages due 1--;ill be paid in negotiable checks
during mine office hours, 1-~ith provision f or the prompt
r edemption of same by banks convenientl y locat ed. 11

/

Of course you kno1-, there are no banks at superior.
l-Ie would not care to redeem th~ checks at the mine office as it

1vould entail considerable wor k and t he necessity of providing cash on
paydays.

It is my understanding that up to ~~ 0,000.00 can be transported

to Super ior through t he mail but in my opinion this would not be
sat isfa ctory.
I am bringing this to your attention asking your advice as to
the best method to handle the cashing of payroll voucher s or it may be that
the employes will be required to cash them in Rock Springs.

Gentlemen:
On January 11, 1958, this bank was examined by the State and
Federal Authorities.

The ~aminers not only severely criticized the

practice of extending credit on so called Payday notes, but subsequent
to that date, served the Management with notice that such practice
must be discontinued.
Ue deeply regret that we are forced by that edict to inform you
that effective ·~arch 1, 195g, this bank will no longer offer this
service.
Very truly yours,
