.POSTOFFIGE MEASURE
PASSES THE HOUSE
Unsuccessful Efforts Made to Launch
General Investigation of Postal Mat
ters-Railways Win Out.

After three weeks of debate, which
has been more exciting than upon any
other measure before Congress at this
session. the House has nnaIly passed the
postoffice appropriate bill. NOtwith-
standing all the controversy which the
publication of Mr.. BristOw's charges
concerning members" produced, the ma
fority has been successful in preventing
a general investigation Of the Postoffics
Department and has stified the repeat
ed efforts OF the minority IN that direc-
ton.
Almost every paragraph and line in
the bill was contested, but the measure
as passed is substantially the same as
the bill reported from the committee,
the changes made not being material.
The principal fight yesterday was upon
the matter Of increasing the compensa-
ton of the rural free delivery carriers
from $500 to 500 year. In order 70
accommodate this provision IN the bill.
the House was obliged 10 adopt special
rule to obviate the point Of order that
the Increase was new legislation and
not permissible on an appropriation
bill
Numerous unsuccessful efforts were
made TO increase the compensation be
vond $40 The provision prohibits the
carriers from doing an express business
