and that he would under no circumsta noes
favor a mail contract BY which the rail-
fully compensated for the work done.
Mr.. Peters further writes: Under date
Of August 10 you advised US tina; YOU
were giving careful consideration to the
matter OF proper compensation to the
railroad companies for carrying the add
tionsi parcel post mall and that YOU
would inform us OF the result as soon as a
conclusion was reached. We gave YOU
under date Of August 20 additional in
formation and argument In support Of our
position. AS yet we have had no advice
from YOU Ms TO the result Of your con-
sideration Of this question.
Mr.. Peters says that II was brought
out In a Congressional investigation that
the railroads were underpaid in 1909 at
least $4,000 900 n year for the services
performed by them in transporting and
handling the mails and employees of the
