WASHINGTON LETTER
Continued from Page ~

WdSIeQ DeCduSc VI Tile muSSiC
Shoals project holding up Senate
schedules.
Both houses have approx
mately eight weeks of legislative
days as distinguished from calen-
dar days. in which to dispose of
nine appropriation bills. The
House has already passed three
appropriation bills and has made
excellent progress on the others.
The Senate Appropriations Com
mittee is ready to report the fis-
cal measures for the Interior and
Agricultural Departments but
cannot find a place on the Senate
calendar.
The legislative situation is fur
ther complicated by the postal
salary proposals. Under an
agreement the Senate will vote
on the so-called Edge bill, which
President Coolidge vetoed last
summer. At the same time an
other measure, known as the
Sterling bill, has been submitted
with practically the same provi-
sions for postal salaries, and car
rying in addition a revenue
measure.
Special subcommittees of the
Senate and House held hearings
during the Christmas recess
when representative mail users
protested against the enormous
increase in their rates. 1t is said
that the Sterling bill was
brought to the Senate in an eff
fort to bring about parliamentary
complications so that no postal
measure would be enacted at this
session. Several days must
elapse before the postal pay and
postal salary propositions are dis
posed of.
1t is believed that several le-
gislative measures will be intro
duced at this session dealing with
retail prices. The Chamber of
Commerce of the United States
has called a conference here
early in January in order to help
the buying public and merchant.
The national Chamber is convinc-
ed that the public does not un-
derstand the retailer and his i'm
mediate problems. For this rea-
son it is believed that great bene-
fits will follow a discussion of the
problems of distribution from
the standpoint of the merchant,
the manufacturer and the con-
sumer.
While it is not the intention
of the promoters of this confer
ence to bring about legislative
cure-alls, no doubt many legisla-
tors will sieze this opportunity
to introduce free economic meas
ures. The small town merchants
and publishers. as well as the
citizens, who purchase, have a di-
rect interest in these meetings.
The statement has been made
that material savings may be ac-
complished by reducing the
amount and number of failures;
by reducing the cost of doing
business and the ultimate price
to the consumer; and by placing
the distributor in a better rela-
ton to his customer.
There are similar movements
under way for agriculture to
solve problems by mutual agree
ment rather than congressional
action. The sentiment is grow
ing that Congress should stick to
its own knitting and leave econ
omic problems to those directly
concerned.
