Vigorous Opposition Delays Subsidy Vote In Senate Talk
Wisconsin Republican Guenther leads opposition to the postal subsidy amendment as debate in the House and Senate focuses on the Pacific Mail Steamship subsidy.

Maine’s Milliken also argues the clause harms American commerce and would create a monopoly. The clash fuels a protracted fight, vows to “fight it out all summer.”
