Postal pay and rate boost passes House to fight Senate
The House approved a new postal pay and rate increase bill, sending it to the Senate. It would raise about 61 million dollars in revenue, matching a portion of the proposed salary increases. The measure, debated two hours, aims to satisfy President Coolidge’s objections and serves as a substitute for a Senate bill. The same session adopted a resolution directing a Federal Trade Commission inquiry into monopolistic practices in power and tobacco industries.
