Salary boosts face Senate debate on postal pay increases
Washington Jan 22 The administration postal pay and rate increase bill opens debate in the senate with a Democratic attack seeking to strike all rate increases. A vote on the elimination point of order is deferred until tomorrow. If adopted, it would leave the bill near the form of the Day increase measure vetoed by President Coolidge. Senator Swanson raised the objection that revenue measures must originate in the House under the constitution. Senator Jones presiding anticipated a close vote. Senator Moses said he would not object to substituting other legislation if the point is sustained, leaving House action to decide. The pay rise for postal employees had been approved temporarily, while a Republican conference had discussed retroactive pay increases to January rather than last July 1, but made no decision.
