Keating's
Letter

The day after Congress ad-
journed, You probably read
that the post Office ap-
preparation bill had been caught
In the legislative jam and had
failed to pass and that q resolu.
ton had been -ushed through
both houses continuing last
years appropriations. ~
You did not attach much i'm.
portance to the item. You knew
you would continue to reoeiys
your mail ~ usual and the ;ots oi
on appropriation bill, therefore
did not seem a vital matter.
The newspaper story Gid no,
tell you that the postoffice sppro'
priation bill carried Legislation
which would have given the ma
tion a genuine parcel post and
would have effected economies
ageregating ten million dollars
per year.
That is the reason the bill was
stabbed to death in the corridors
of the national capitol.
1t was a most shameful episode
and every man connected with
it should be driven from pu6lic
life.
At 8 o'clock on the morning o1
Mar.4th it was descover red that Il
records OF the conference commit
tee were missing" and a reso'
luton continuing last years ap'
propriations was consequently
presented and wss adopted be-
fore the situation could be ex
planned to the handful of sleepy
members on the floor,
The railroad lobby had won ,
tremendous victory, and UDcl<
Sam had lost ten million dollars.
