Clerical Pay Plan Meets Support in Congress
Washington reports Boston Post Office official John A. Whalen pushing a clerical pay and classification reform. Postmaster General Dickerson backs the plan, with Senatorial and House interest stagnant, likely needing an appropriation bill amendment to advance. The Sundry Civil Appropriation bill includes public building funds and Cape Cod erosion research, plus changes to Springfield arsenal funding. Republican bounty talk targets sugar subsidies as a symbol of the entire protective system.
