BEFORE Senate
Newspaper Antagonist
Banked on to Kill 1t
Especial to The Daily Worker,

| ASPCStdt " HHCa 6aty WSFHeI
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec.
16.-An attempt will again be
made to kill the postoffice work.
ers' salary increase bill in the
senate tomorrow, when Senator
Sterling, chairman of the post
office committee, at the wish of
President Coolidge, combines
the bill with cooIidge's intended
postal rate raise.
The bill, according to Sterl-
ing, will be introduced as a
joint measure in the senate
Tuesday.
Bill Affects Newspapers Mainly.
Postmaster General New has recon,
mended the raise in the rates of sec
ond, third and fourth class mail sery-
ice, to total $6s,OOO,OO0. This is an
other step Of Coolidge in the attempt
to prevent the postal bill from pass
ing the senate over his veto of the
bill.
The proposed raise in postal rates,
announced by Coolidge as necessary
to meet the pay increase of postal
employees, affects mainly the mailing
charges on Newspapers. 1t is plan.
ned by the Coolidge administration
to introduce the bills Jointly, and
thus swing the newspapers of the
country both against the postal rate
raise and also against the raise in
postal employees wages. This backing
Of the kept press will swing the way
ering senators into line. according to
Coolidge, and defeat a raise in wages
for the postal workers.
Cut Wages to Buy Guns.
1t is noticeable that Coolidge's eco,
nomy program keeps governmental
wages at their present low level, and
drastieally reduces the appropriations
for ex-soldiers hospitals and pension
funds, while it calls for exhorbitant
expenditures on the army and navy.
| Senator Edge of New Jersey, who
was in charge of the measure, made
a previous attempt to betray the post
al employees when he proposed that
unanimous consent be given to take
up the passage of the bill on Feb
lruary 2, delay which would have
been fatal to chances of acting on the
bill. Edges plan was frustrated when
Couzens of Michigan objected to Civ
ing unanimous consent.
! Coolidge and Butler have been
working on Edge ever since election
They finally induced him to take the
decisive step Of seeking to delay ac
ton until Coolidge should swing
enough patronage controlled votes in
congress to insure its defeat.
