Fast Mail Stays In Appropriation Fight Continues
In Washington on April 6 the House voted 41 to keep a fast mail service subsidy for Boston and New York to the South within the post office appropriation. Arkansas’s Mr Little and Mississippi’s Mr Willams led a bitter but narrowing opposition alongside Ohio’s Mr Bramwell. Support came from Alabama’s Mr Underwood and Virginia’s Mr Swanson as debates over extra pay for carriers and census salary boosts continued. The Hawaiian government bill faced delay for lack of quorum.
