POST OFFICE TRn||RIF
IS STILL UNSETTLED
Government Says p. D. Clerks Are
Not Amenable TO State Minimum
Wage Law-State Says Yes and
Brings Suit.

A. l.. Toone of Salt Lake an agent
of the state bureau of labor was in
Pleasant Grove Monday and swore TO
complaint before Justice Mons Mon
son charging Postmaster II. w. Wad-
ley with a violation OF the minimum
wage law. II is charged that he
paid Miss Florence Frampton. a form
ere Jerk in the Post Office less than
the state law provides as the mini
mum, the difference being $5S.
When threatened with suit several
months ago Mr.. Wadley paid part of
the amount and gave his note for the
balance. He Immediately stated tho
case in full TO the Post office depart
ment at Washington, who advised the
postmaster that his clerk was in The
employ of the United States govern
ment. and as he was paying her 80
per cent more than the allowance for
clerk hire for the Pleasant Grove of
flee the state had no right TO step
In and interfere. Mr.. Wadley also
wrote TO Senator Smoot. who confirm
ed the departments opinion. Later
he showed the Washington letter to
the U. s. District Attorneys office
and was told that had he gone there
first he would not have had TO pay
anything. He Them cfused to pay any
more on the note and demanded tho
return OF the money from the state
officials.
The state now proposes TO test g.
the law and find out whether It Is ~
plicable to government employees. Al
torney General Barnes In q written
opinion says:
"In my opinion the position taken
by the postmaster is not tonable The
lady employed by him is in no sense
of the word n government clerk She
Is employed by him and not by the
,, post office department, The !tarly
allowance made by post office de
partment TO him for clerical assis-
lance may be Expended bv him in any
manner which he may see fit TO adopt.
He is in no better position than any
other employer of female labor, and
the law should be applied In his case"
An extract from the opinion of the
postal authorities reads;
Were n state permitted to enforce
minimum wage law with respect TO
the employees Of the postal service.
II Is evident that such state would
he exercising n control over and in
terferlng with federal agency in
direct contravention Of the constitu-
ton of thr United States, and If the
additional compensation Of the clerk
were required Of the postmaster by
the state law such course would in
directly interfere with federal agen-
cy because II would take from tho
Postmaster n part Of the compensa-
ton paid him by the United States. J
therefore advise you that the law p.
the state Of Utah does not apply f.

SENATE WANTS
PERSIA ACTION
AVENGE THE AMERICAN U-BOAT
VICTIMS, is THE CRY IN
WASHINGTON.
WILSON SEEKING FACTS
PRESIDENT, IN A STATEMENT
PROMISES TO ACT AS SOON
AS DETAILS OBTAINED.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington, Jan. with all Off
cial Washington yesterday awaiting
facts on the sinking of the Persia,
many senators, particularly some from
New England, were preparing to de-
mand drastic action against the ma
ton responsible for the loss of Ameri-
can life.
Remember the Maine!" the old
war-phrase nearly forgotten, was re-
called in the capital. Only Persia
or 'Lusitania" was substituted for
Maine" in many instances. Senator
Stone, after conference with the
President. declared that no action
would be taken until the United
States was in possession of complete
details as to the sinking of the Persia.
He added that he favored severe ac-
ton against the nation responsible.
With President Wilson's return to
the White House to take personal
charge of the situation there were
marked Indications of the Presidents s
intention to proceed carefully and de-
liberately before committing the
United States to the next step in the
already-strained relations with the
Teutonic powers. But the tension
among officials in general seemed in
creased.
At the State Department the hope
was expressed that there would be
opportunity to settle the crisis ami
cably and it was stated that the
American government believed that
Austria's assurances in the Anccna
note were given in good faith.
Two points. it was emphasized.
must be cleared up before the next
move is made 1t must be established
whether the British liner Persia actu-
ally was torpedoed; and, ii so, what
was the nationality of the submarine?
President Wilson's first act on his
return was to issue a statement.
through Secretary Tumulty, promising
the country action, just as soon as
the full facts in the Persia disaster
can be learned.
THE President and the Secretary
OF Stale are taking every means pos
sible to obtain the full facts in this
grave matter and will act just as
soon as the full facts in the Persia
disaster can be learned.
"The Presidents second step was
to direct Secretary Lansing to gather
more information from the Persia
survivors.
The secretary ordered the consuls
at Alexandria. Malta and Cairo to OBJ
tain affidavits and at once cable sub
marines of their contents
