 IS CONSIDERED

Washington. January Reconsideration of the postoffice appropriation bill was begun in the House of Representatives to- day. The amount carried is $234, ,370, be- ing $555,S10 more than the original es- innate of the department.
 MT. Overstreet of Indiana in charge of the measure briefly explained it's pro visions. While approving the bill as "clean" MT Moon of Tennessee, ranking minority member of the House commit tee said that much had been omitted be- cause of the condition of the treasury. He said the whole postal system should be made anew.
 An interesting feature of the discussion was a 20-minute speech by the venerable Mr Sperry of Connecticut urging ade- quate pay for the boys of the postal service" He carried his S3 years well and although his voice was feeble he made a strong plea for those whose interests he had at heart Members crowded about and liberally applauded him.
 MT. Lloyd of Missouri vigorously at- tackled the increase in postal expenditures. In ten years, he said, the increase for postoffice employees had been 176 per cent, while in that time the increase in business had been but 50 per cent
 The bill was still pending when the House adjourned
