Washington December 12 Special. Rural free delivery carriers are poised for salary increases with many bills introduced in Congress. Some proposals add 200 to 300 dollars for subsistence, while others seek direct pay raises. The program’s costs rise from about 15 million this year to 20 million next year if salaries rise.

The piece also covers temperance agitation against post canteen liquor sales, remarks on Joe Cannon and other political figures, and notes on Congressional leadership changes and District of Columbia financing disputes.
