RAISE FOR ROPER CLERKS Salaries of First and Second Class Clerks Reduced Instead of Raised Under Burleson’s Instructions The long anticipated and much -dis- cussed raise in the salaries of postal clerks which finally became effective July 1 will do nothing to solve the dif- ficulties at the Casper postoffice, it has just been learned, a communica. tion having been received from Wash- ington, dated September 1, which spe- cifically states the salary to be paid all regularly appointed clerks in the local office. For tirst snd second class clerks in ‘Casper, the new rate means an actual’ reduction in salary. As no definite instructions were sent out when the law became _ effective, Postmaster Sproul has paid his clerks on the old basis of -$1,530 a year act- ing on instructions from Washington. According to the. instructions re- ceived, three first class clerks must be reduced from $1,530 to $1,400 a year, and‘one second class clerk from $1,530 to $1,500. For third, fourth and fifth class clerks, the new law means an in- crease, third class clerks being paid $1,600, fourth. class $1,700 and fifth class $1,800. , The difficulty will lie in persuading clerks to accept appointments to the first class, Mr. Sproul says, since sub- stitutes receive 60 cents an _ hour, which amounts to nearly $1,500 a year. A regular clerk would be obliged to work two: years before receiving this amount, “I might get by if I could have all third and fourth class clerks bere,” Mr. Sproul says, “but other postoffices are up against it as I am, and the third and fourth class clerks are scarce.’" The difficulty lies in the fact that under the old law clerks in the Casper postoffice were paid 15 per cent more than those in other offices of the same class under the “unusual conditions’ clause which proved an increase to meet increased living expenses here, The new law does away not only with all such pereentages, but also with a special bonus which Casper clerks also received over the regular clerk salary of $1,100. As a result of the order ceived, Post just _re- iter Sproul confidently expects that his three $1,400 clerks and a couple of carriers as well, will re- sign rather than work under cut sal- aries.. Under the law they would very probably be required to refund the ex- tra salary which they have received under the old rates since July 1. * LEGION HEADQUARTERS PARISES RESOLUTIONS PASSED IN WYOMING Harry Fisher, department adjutant Wyoming, has received a letter from national headquarters praising the work of the state convention of the American Legion at Sheridan as regards In adarge part this is a compliment to the committce from Casper composed of Tom = mond, D. W. Ogilbee and Dr. W. S.1oddy, which framed the resolu a large majority of which Were adopt- ed at the state convention. The resolutions were presented . by the Casper delegation to the state con- vention in such a concise and compre- hensive form that they were avcepted without alteration in many ins‘ances. The letter from national headquarters of the American Legion in Indianapolis, Ind., written by Russell G. Creviston, director of organization, follows in part: “It is a great pleasure to note the gvod work which you are doing in the de) ment of Wyoming. Such con- structive action on the part of your department convention shows that the Legion in Wyoming is ‘abreast of the times and is doing work which will es- tablish our organization for all time to come, Please convey the apprecia- tion of the national! organization to all members of your official staff.” SiS Ba NO DAMAGE IN AIRDOME FIRE) A small blaze in the operating room} at the Airdome theater, which now Is being dismantled, called out the fire trucks about 12:35 o'clock at noon to- day.

At a recent conference of national officers and directors of .the Legion | publishing corporation, it was decided to inaugurate the ‘American Legion News Se 2. The head {fice of this bureau will be 627 West Forty-third street, New York City, and Marquis James, a mem- ber of the editorial staff of the Amer- ican Legion Weekly, will have charge of its operations, The purpose of this bulletin is to emphasize the need for the fullest pos- Bible measure of co-operation on the part of State publicity officers and post correspondents, supplemented by en- thusiastic support from all individual members of the big Legion family. This is a gigantic undertaking and, as in everything the Legion does, it should be “put across” in a characteris- tically American fashion—shoulder to shoulder in wh earted team play. The Legion spirit is typically Amer- ican. When it sets out to do a thing, it can inyatiably be relied upon to ‘Jo jt right, The News’ Service is a:means for unis spirit to Become articulate, to, stand forth and tell the world what it ix doing and how it is doing it.

FILMING OF BEN. “WARIMAN STORY 5 COMPLETED Author and Family Witness Exhi- bition Run in Denver and Cas- per Is Scheduled for Early Release The exhibition run of “The Vanish- ing Strain," the motion picture taken from the Wyoming novel “Ben War- man,” written by Judge €. E. Winter, was made in Denver late Saturday night and was pronounced by the 150 invited guests present as being above the average of western picture plays. was made under the direction of Chas. BE. Bartlett of hte Yellowstone Produc- tion company, the firm which filmed the pieture. The picture is to be taken to New York City for general distribution thru one of the large distributing compa-~ nies and will be released simultaneous- ly in many cities throughout the coun- try. It is probable that Casper will be among the first cities having the first release of this picture. _ The principal character, that of Ben Warman, is played by Pete Morrison of former western film, fame and known to all followers of the western and cowboy pictures.’ Mr. Morrison re- cently was in Casper with officials of the present Yellowstone company, The picture rights of this book were pur- chased from Judge Winter by the Yel- lowstone company several months ago. On account of the length of the ple- ture some of the historical matters were omitted and some slight changes made, the picture being consistent with the book in other respects. Judge Winter and. Mrs. Winter, Mrs. P. E. Winter and Miss Caroline Malt- by, Mrs. Winter's sister, went to Den- ver last week to see the exhibition run at the Rialto, theater. SO IT WON’T-.
