cial Congress Thursday, the expeetea
storm over the parcels post broke.
It broke violently. Protagonist and
antagonist hurled bitter phrases in ar
guing for and against endorsement by
the convention. Leaders clashed to
the destruction of the peace and har-
mony that had until then marked the
convention. The conflict is a symp-
tom. The men who have made up
their minds that the parcels post viii
bring benefits to the country are de-
termined to wage their campaign, and
they have built their program. The
opposition knows what it has to co
and congress is going to hear more
about it before the measure, which
seems likely to be introduced at the
approaching session, comes ont Of
committee. After the committee has
wrestled with the problem. the NO
houses are fairly certain to have peo-
tracted discussion.
That there is a wide demand for
the parcels post is evident and the
reason therefor is found In ,ho ex-
orbitant rates Of the express COM
panies. People have wearlsd OF ex-
press methods. They have been hear
ing Of the success of the pat:ss pc.
in other lands and many thiak this
country ought to fan in line. Con-
gress, if it pass a measure for the es.
tablishment, should be most careful
of the interests of all affected. There
should be some provision in protec-
ton of the small-town merchans. Per-
haps. the problem can be solved With
satisfaction, but the farmers of the
law must not give too great advan-
tage to any one class.
