House Rejects Postal Wage and Rate Boosts
In a 228 to 171 vote the House rejected a double barreled bill to give 500000 postal workers a 5 percent pay raise while raising mail rates to fund it. Democrats supported the pay raise but opposed rate hikes. Republicans backed both measures as fiscally responsible. The vote followed forceful speeches by Sam Rayburn and John Moss criticizing the tactic, while Iowa Republicans backed a similar pay raise and rate proposal.
