Themselves at Denver, Colo., Aug. 2.—Nine hun- dred men employed by the Denver Tramway company have never ceived a pay check or pay envelope from the corporation although many of them have worked for it for vears. They are their own “paymasters.” The method by which the men are paid is claimed by the officials of the company to be in use nowhere else in America. It has been in vogue here for 30 years, however, and both officials and employes are well satis- fied with it. Three times the = men voted almost unanimously against any change in the system. The 900 who enjoy the distinction | of working for wages without receiv- | ing pay envelopes are motormen and econductors and they simply pay themselves at the end of each day's work out of the amount collected | time on duty. Before turning in his receipts for the day. each conductor pays himself and his metorman their wagex. The con- ductors are alded in making their | ealculations by cards furnished them by the company which shows the amount due the empiove for any number of hours and mintes. The system has many advantages, | Hild, gen- It re- eral manager of the company. makes the garnisheeing of a man's wages difficult It alzo means that | the men alwars have money in thei- | pockets, according to Mr. Hild. The | company benefits by a smaller cler- jeal staff which would be impossible | were the men paid weekly or bi- | weekly by cheek or pay envelope, sayvs Mr. Hild, whe nadds, however, that the company loses about $1.800 per year in interest it otherwise would recelve on its pay-roil from the banks.

A telegram was received today by Mr. and Mrs. BEgebert Healey of Red Stone Hill, in®brming them of the sudden death of their son, Earl W, of Sennanh, Alaska.
