for an expression of the departments
views with regard to the proposed
legislation, and that public hearings
were held before subcommittee and
careful consideration given in full
committee upon many of those meas
ures, some of which were laid on the
table as inimical to the public inter-
est, and many others of which will
be the subject of final consideration
in the next session of Congress-"
Referred to the Postmaster
General-inimicable to the pub
lie interest"
Phrases extremely familiar to
those. whose duty was as repre-
sentatives of the publishing
interests to approach Mr.. Moses
and Mr.. Griest frequently in an
effort to wean them away from
the Postmaster Generals view of
postal legislation.
1t must be patent, after the
"do-nothing" policy followed by
the Postmaster General, Mr..
Moses and Mr.. Griest at the late
session, the publishing interests
must exert stronger pressure up
on Congress at the next session,
or history will repeat itself"

WASHINGTON LETTER
Continued from Page y


What a highly informative alibi
this may be considered to be in
view of the repeated admissions
by both Mr.. Griest and Senator
George H. Moses, chairman of the
joint committee, and of the Sen
ate Committee on Post Office and
Post Roads before adjournment,
that they intended to make no
move to press any postal legisla-
ton in which publishers were in
terested until next session, espec-
tally as they understood the Post
Office Department still desired
to be heard more fully" on the
subject.
Mr.. Griest accounts for a total
of only EIGHT out of ITO bills
referred to his committee. These
EIGHT alone passed both Senate
and House and received the Presi-
dents approval. The important
nature of these EIGHT bills is
revealed by the following list
supplied by Mr.. Griest:
H. r. 90. A bill fixing postage
rates on hotel and steamship room
keys and tags.
H. r. 1887. A bill authorizing the
Postmaster General to rent quarters
for postal purposes without formal
contract in certain cases.
H. r. 3S42. A bill authorizing the
Postmaster General to make monthly
payments of rental for terminal rail-
way post-office premises under lease.
H. r. 1892. A bill authorizing the
designation of postmasters by the
Postmaster General as disbursing Of
ficers for the payment of contractors,
emergency carriers and temporary
carriers for performance of authoriz-
ed service on power boats and star
routes in Alaska
H. r. 9511. A bill authorizing the
Postmaster General to remit or
change deductions or fines imposed
upon contractors for mail service.
H. r. 110S4. A bill to amend the
act of February %, 1925, fixing the
compensation of fourth-class postmas-
ters.
H. r. 11841. A bill to enable the
Postmaster General to make contracts
for the transmission of mail by air.
craft at fixed rates per pound.
S. 1880. A bill to authorize the
Postmaster General to readjust the
terms of certain screen-wagon con-
tracts and for other purposes. =
The "do-nothing" policy pur-
sued by Senator Moses and him
self, controlling as they obviously
do, the postal situation at the
Capitol, is thus excused by Mr..
Griest:
at may be said that practically all
of the 10 bills and resolutions were
referred to the Postmaster General
