Washington March 11 The bill to classify rural free delivery and place carriers under a contract system was altered radically by opponents. Provisions on placing carriers under the contract system were stricken, the salary system continued, and maximum pay for carriers raised from $600 to $1,000 annually. A motion to recommit with anti party influence reporting was defeated 6 to 141, with only one Republican voting yes.
