Battle over telegraph rate changes and clothing pay claims
Republican leaders expect Democratic votes in both houses to pass a bill extending wire control and authorizing the Postmaster General to negotiate telegraph lines. They note Judge Moon failed to secure floor action despite revisions, while Burleson’s rate increases are shown to cost the public about 30 million annually. The war department considers paying for Iowa soldiers’ civilian clothing worn at Camp Dodge due to late uniforms, including Private Walter O. Anderson’s six month period without army attire. Similar cases will be decided.
