Object TO REDUCING
PARCEL POST RATES
Burles0n Requested to Ex-
plain Authority for
His Action

Washington. July 22.-Concerted op-
position has developed in Congress to
Postmaster General Burleson's order
reducing parcel post rates and in
creasing the maximum size of pack
ages to be handled in the service The
order was issued Sunday. to become
effective August Is, and today the Sem
ate postoffice committee requested Mr..
Burleson to appear before the commit
tee next Thursday with an explanation
of the authority for his action.
This was the first step in what prom
ises to be a bitter contest. When the
Postmaster General has been heard,
the committee is expected to undertake
to have withdrawn before August 10
any authority he may claim Congress
has given him to change rates and
sizes. 1t was contended in committee
that the proposed change would entail
an enormous loss to the government,
and some of the members complained
strenuously that the postoffice depart
ment had failed to furnish Congress
with data concerning operation of the
parcel post Apparently there was
difference of opinion in the committee
as to whether the Postmaster General
should change rates, democrats and
republicans agreeing that only Con-
gress ought to have this power.
