House Puts New Rule in Practice On Senate Resistance
The House adopts a rule change preempting certain motions as it pursues the post roads and postal reform bill. A director general of posts would serve as a fixed government official under dismissal for cause, while the Postmaster General remains head of policy and cabinet duties. The Senate vows to resist rule alterations as opposition to closure grows. A congressional probe into Theodore Roosevelt’s railroad transportation expenses is also asked, with a five member committee to examine payments and contracts with railroads, plus a bill proposing restoration of the army canteen.
