House Orders Inquiries On Contracts And Post Office
The House yesterday passed resolutions to investigate contracts in shoe trade, the sugar trust, and Post Office Department administration. The Lloyd Carlin measure providing clerks for small executive committees and the Palmer move granting annual salaries of 182.00 for clerks drew protests. Andre Rucker of Missouri, chair of the election committee, appealed to drop a clerk, but members voted for clerks anyway until the clause for his clerk was struck out. He claimed the action was in good faith and urged peers to reduce clerks on his side as well.
