The Worlds Salesmanship Congress,
meeting here, opposes application of a
zone rate on sccond-class mail matter
which would result in increases rang

luton was adopted urging upon Congress
the advisabilty Of repeating the section
of the war-rcvcnuc act which provides
FOR the zone rate before it goes into

The congress also urges Congress that
"if. after the war, 1t seems best still to
consider an increase in the sccond-Class

upon n careful analysis, not only of the
cost Of handling second-class matter, but
of the effect upon the postotlicc business
