of the present parcel post law, has per-
fectcd his bill for the acquisition by the

The bill cannot be labelled at this time

QUESTION of message carrying utilities.
For several months. It is learned, Mr..
Lewis has had a private office in the
postoffice department, where ne worked
in seClusion.
When the Lewis bill is introduced it
will provide for the taking over by the
