Lower House Attempts to Get
Square Deal from the Railroads
BY Congressman Edward ks.tins

Washington, D. C.-This is the
story of the man who lost his tenn
per and won his case. 1t was a
big case, too, for it involved the
saving Of ten million dollars in the
annual cost of transporting mail
over the railroads of the United
States.
John Austin Moon, congressman
from Tennessee, chairman of the
house committee on postothces and
post roads, is gentle, cultured
southern gentleman, but when he
takes the bride off his temper he
becomes a human tornado that
drives all opposition to the Cyclone
cellar.
About year ago Judge Moon
brought before the house bill
changing the method of compen-
sating the railroads for carrying
the mails. At the time l described
the measure in one of my letters.
Briefly, it compelled the railroads
to carry parcel post packages for
about the rates they charged for
handling express packages and
effected other important economies.
Under the existing arrangement
we have a limited parcel post. The
government can compete with the
express companies for short dis
tanoes-up to about $50 miles
but on the long hauls the express
trust has the advantage because it
pays the railroads about one-half
the amount charged Uncle Sam.
The Moon bill went through the
house without serious trouble.
The express trust and the railroads
planned to make their fight in the
senate. Evidently they knew what
they were about, for the bill was
quietly chucked into pigeon
hole and no amount of pressure
from the postoffice department
could force it onto the floor of the
senate. In the meantime the rail
roads began vigorous campaign
through the press and commercial
organizations against the principle
of the Moon bill. Congress was
swamped with resolutions and edi-
torials denouncing the measure,
but no one attempted to explain

to cover not only the railway mail
pay issue, but other Legislation de-
sired by the postmaster general.
The opponents of the proposition
devoted themselves largely to
those side issues and did their best
to make the molehills assume the
proportions of mountsins.
How the "Rule" Was Killed
At the conclusion of the roll call
it was apparent that the "rule" had
carried, but before the result was
announced thirty or forty men,
bers crowded down to the clerks
desk and changed their votes from
"yea" to may" and the rule was
beaten-149 to 13O.
Then it was that John Austin
Moon lost his temper. Nothing
like it has been witnessed in the
house during this congress. Here
is mild sample of the things he
said
Gentlemen, like craven cow
ards, destroying every vestige of
respect that a decent Democrat
should have, follow the lead of the
Republican party. For whatP Was
it at the command OF the rural
carrlers2 Was it at the command
of the postmasters? Or, tell me,
was it at the command of the rail
roads of this country? Do you
want them still to plunder the
treasury2
81 think more of my country
than l do of the Democratic party,
and if we are to return to the sixty
fifth congress a Democratic ma
jority then, in the name of God,
let it be of Democrats who stand
for the republic and not for the
railroads."
He went on in that strain for
half an hour.
moon has lost his head" said
some.
He will be lucky if he is not
removed as chairman of the COM
mittee on postoffioes aud post
roads," said others.
"He is doing the one thing
which may save the day." was the
comment of a shrewd observer.
And 30 it proved, for on the fol-
lowing day the committee on rules
brought in the same old rule, mod
flied insofar az some OF the "side
issues" were concerned, but intact
on the question of railway mail
pay, and it was adopted-17l to 81.
When the result was announced
John Austin Moon arose. He was
onoe more the gentle, courteous
southern gentleman.
"Mr. Speaker" he said, my
feeling has been most kindly
toward all, and if the feelings of
any member We're hurt by the
speech l delivered yesterday l am
very glad to apologize"
That closed the incident 80 far
as the official record is concerned.
The "buck" has been passed to
the senate. Soon we will know, to
paraphrase Mr.. Moons remarks,
whether the upper house stands
for the republic or for the rail
roads.
