File 143-2
Mr. V. O. Murray

(CC:

Yir. J. L. Rawlings)

Refering to our discussion today r Blative to supplying currency
and coin for cashing pay roll vouchers at Superior.
Our former practice was to have the Rock Springs National Bank
send the Store Manager at Supe rior wha t currency he required 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.
If it is decided to send cash to Superior to pay our pay roll
vouchers I recommend that the same arrangement be made with the Rock
Springs National Bank to s end pay roll money to the Mine Superintendent
at Superior.
Attached is copy of letters showing how this was handled.
Our records indicate that from 40% to 50% of the Superior Mine pay
roll was paid by our Superior Store when the arrangement was in effect.
Insurance charges on currency is S¢ per thousand dollars or fraction
thereof. Postage is 3¢ per ounce or fraction thereof and registry fee
is .JO¢.
Insurance and express charges on coin is $2.33 for the first $100.00.
From $100.00 to ,~200.00 charge is $2.42 and from $200.00 to $300.00
charge is $2.S2.
Mail 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 evecy day
except Sunday and holidays.
&amp;press leaves Rock Springs evecy morning at S:15AM except Saturdays,
Sundays and legal holidays, and returns to Rock Springs immediately after
unloading at Superior.

Mr. I. N. Bayless:
(CC - Mr. J. B. Hughes
1fr. J. L. Rawlings
Mr. J. D. Foster)
A problem has arisen at Superior concerning the cashing of
employes I checks at that district.

As you 1·rill probably recall, the

M &amp; K Market at Superior doing business at the U. P. Store in Superior
has been . cashing the payroll checks.
I am enclosing a copy of a letter from Mr. O. E. Bertagnolli,
Cashier of the North Side State Bank, notifying the M &amp; K ¥1a.rket that the
bank can no longer advance cash for this purpose .

It is my understanding

that other places of business in Superior, Point of Rocks and Thayer
Junction having this service have also been notified.
The U. M.U. of A. contract provides that wages be paid by check,
Section 77, Page 63 of the Agreement reading:
"All wages due will be paid in negotiable checks
during mine office hours, with provision for the prompt
redemption of same by banks conveniently located."
Of course you knm-1 there are no banks at Superior.
T,·Je would not

care to redeem th.e checks at the mine office as it

would entail considerable work and the necessity of providing cash on
paydays.

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

to Superior through the mail but in my opinion this would not be
satisfactory.
I am bringing this to your attention asking your advice as to
the best method to handle the cashing of payroll vouchers or it may be that
the employes will be required to cash them in Rock Springs.

Gentlemen:

On January 11, 1958, this bank was ex~--nined by the State and
Federal Authorities.

The Examiners not only severely criticized the

practice of extending credit on so called Payday notes, but subsequent
to that date, served the Management 1.d.th notice that such practice
must be discontinued.
He deeply regret that we are forced by that edict to inform you
that effective 1-!arch 1, 1958, this bank 1..d.ll no longer offer this
service.
Very truly yours,
