CONTRACT PLAN BEATEN.
Rural Free Delivery Carriers viii
Work Under Uncle Sam.

Washington, March 1.-THE bill to
classify the rural free delivery service
and place the carriers under the con-
tract system, which has been debated in
the house for over a week, was passed
but in a form that completely changed
the purpose for which it was framed
Before it was passed the bill was alter
ed radically by it's opponents. All the
provisions relating to the placing of
carriers under the contract system We're
stricken out, and the salary system not
only was continued but the maximum
salary of carriers was increased from
$500 to 5000 per annum.
A motion offered by Mr.. Williams
(Dem., lid to recommit the bill with
instructions to report back an amend
ment providing for the dismissal from
the service of carriers who showed
their influence in favor of any particu-
lar party or for any particular candf-
date was voted down, SO to 141, but one
Republican voting for it. AS passed
the bill Classics the rural free delivery
service and fixes the compensation of
employees as follows:
Special agents in charge of divisions
not exceeding $1,000 per annum; special
agents, four classes, graded from 81, 800
to 81, 500; route inspectors, four classes,
from $500 to $1,000; clerks, four classes,
from 5000 to $1,000. The compensation
of carriers is not to exceed $500.
