Some of the senators said that the bill may be before the senate all this week. Senator Carter said the bill would ultimately apply to 1.00c postoffices. but at first only to first second and third class offices, about 7.500 all told.
 The banks In the West are still send ing petitions against the passage oi the bill though the petitions do not show on their face that they are cir culated by bankers.
