Postmaster General Benjamin Bailor says rates will rise by year end with a 12 or 13 cent first class stamp. He cites substantial cost increases and a current deficit of about 800 million dollars, noting subsidies have fallen as a share of income since postal reorganization. Bailor foresees tough wage talks and avoids a strike, hinting at possible National Guard use if needed.
