The first part of the two-day: program was carried through as scheduled, with very few of the preliminaries that usual- ly delay the opening of conventions. An address of welcome in which ® great deal of knowledge concerning public utilities was displayed, was made by Mayor 8. K. Loy, In res- Ponse on behalf of the association, James B. Withrow of Sheridan gave a short talk. Telling of the work of the Wy- oming organization and the Rocky Mountain association committee, EB. P. Bacon, retiring president of the state body, and head of the Natrona Power company here, dealt with the Problems which are constantly be- fore utilities men and the means by. which these, problems are being effectively solved through co-opera- tion. His address was very instruc- tive, constituting a reylew of past Work and a presentation of the work stil to be done. Under the head of “Organization,” John A, Greenawalt of Denver de- scribed pointedly the processes by which both worth while and de- structive groups ane combining forces in alignment one against the other, He brought out the need of outstanding Jeadership in this age a with {ts many -opposing forces threatens chaos. Representing the “Casper Motor Bus compiitiy and the Salt Creek Transportation company, iewest members of the 1, William Cobb made mention of the “present state utilit! statute, describing it as a jaw' “without teeth,” at least as far as motor bus lines are con- cerned. He advocated — certain changes which will permit the utilities commission to have au- hority in cases of non compliance with the Jaw. In ‘ticular, Mr. Cobb told ‘of the necessity of a de- finite protection required by. bus ‘nes operating under franchise, if they are to continue in business and if the public is to be consist- ently served. Taking for his subject “Un-edu- cating the public,” George EF. Lewis, secretary ‘of the Rocky Mountain committee on public util- ity information, concisely went over the factors that have placed all public utilities in thelr present standing with the public. He at- tributed the change of attitude, now favorable, to the work that has been going on during the past sev- eral years. From more than 100 high schools in the state of Wy- oming, Colorado and New Mexico, requests were received during the past year for full information on public utilities, and in these schools essay contests dealing with utill- ties were conducted, declared Mr. Lewis. His address, in which he traced the means that have been (Continued on Page Eight) Canadian Mail Tied p; Workers Strike No Letters Delivered In Cities cross: Border as Men Refuse} to Work—Cut In Pay Responsible for Walkout of Government Employes d (Copyright 1924, The Casper Tribune) MONTREAL, June 23.—The postal services of Toronto, Montreal and other Cunad&n centers have been completely demoralized by the strike. day, not a single piece of personal correspondence has been delivered or collected.
