Plan for Postal Pay Raises Faces House Senate Talks
Washington AP reports the House agreed to a Senate House conference to resolve a postal pay increase. The Senate bill calls for a flat 10 percent rise, while a House version proposes about 82 percent on average and adds a job classification plan opposed by the postal union. Even if conferees reach an agreement, President Eisenhower’s approval is uncertain and a veto looms over a larger raise. Eisenhower had sought 64 percent on average and signaled opposition to any raise exceeding the 7 percent proposed by the House Post Office Committee.
