Washington Post proposes mail pay limits in railway bill
In Washington, D C May 9 persistent efforts to secure victorial power, the Post Office Department has broken all records. Jonathan Bourne Jr., chairman of the joint congressional committees on railways mail pay, says the department bill 17 042 provides that not exceed one certain rates shall be paid to steam railroads for transportation of the mail. The bill also contains a clause compelling the railroads to carry mail. Railroads have long carried mail as a voluntary act, but the bill challenges this by proposing fixed maximum rates and mandating carriage, challenging the view that current law suffices. The Interstate Commerce Commission is to fix maximum freight rates, with railroads setting the minimum. the bill thus reverses this balance for mail pay.
