Move to Suspend New Postal Rates
Washington May 13 Suspension of the new postal rates for second class matter appeared likely in the senate today. Senator James Watson of Indiana offered an amendment to suspend zone rates from July 1 1918 to July 1 1919. Postmaster Burleson opposed the suspension but support for the Watson amendment grew as publishers argued the zone rates burden business and limit circulation. The Post Office Department says the new rates are needed for department finances and the war burden on mail. Suspension would buy time to work out more favorable rates for all.
