ed States are maintaining lobby ir
Washington to prevent the adoption OF a
provision in the postofice bill adjusting
railway mail pay on a space instead of
a weight basis, as recommended by the
Postmaster General. was made in the

railway mail pay provision in the bill
was opposed before the House commit
tee by representati~~- of nearly all the
railways in the country. and by many
commercial bodies.
Mr.. Moon said that the railways "to
a man were arrayed against the policy
of the department They have the great
est lobby at work today ever known to
the American people" said Mr.. Moon.
1t is contended by the railways that
II mail is based on the space instead OF
the weight system, that the tendecy will
be to reduce the compensation to the
carriers.
In the last session OF Congress Repre-.
sentative Moon made his lobby charge
against the railways, and intimated tina
