SECOND-CLASS RATE
RAISE NOT FAVORED
Parcel Post Increases Held
to Have No Relation to
Reading Matter.
The National Delivery Association,
with executive offices here, which is
solidly behind legislation now before
congress to require parcel post mails
to be handled on a self-sustaining
basis, denied today that Congress has
any idea of increasing rates on sec
ond-class matter incidental to the
proposed plan for "differential wage
increases” in the postal service.
"The mail order interests, which
have benefited from the low rates* of
parcel post, have intimated that in the
event that increased salaries are
given to postal employes there will
he an increase in second class rates,”
Mr. Maurice, president of the associa
tion said.
Hensons Against Increase.
"As members of the joint commit
tee on post office and post roads are
well aware of the facts concerning
this situation they have no desire
whatsoever to increase the second
class rates, for the reason that they
are beneficial to the masses in that
they stimulate education of the peo
ple through magazines, periodicals
and newspapers. But. on the other
hand, it is essential that the question
of parcel post rates be determined
and settled, as it is creating such an
unnecessary loss to the government,
and such loss is being charged to
taxation,” declared Mr. Kressin.
Bills were introduced in February
;>y Representative Paige and Senator
Dale, under the provisions of which
the rate of postage on fourth class or
parcel post mail weighing not more
than nine ounces would be 1 cent for
each ounce or fraction thereof.
Would Abolish Losses.
On all packages weighing more
than nine ounces, the basic rate per
pound is fixed at 15 cents, except that
for local delivery and on rural routes
radiating from point of mailing, the
preferential rate of 10 cents per
pound is fixed.
Not only have the present parcel
post rates resulted in heavy losses to
the Post Office Department, accord
ing to officials of the delivery as
sociation, but because of the fact that
the government has handled parcels
at much less than actual cost, it has
seriously impaired and in many in
stances destroyed the business of
private concerns engaged in the par
cel delivery business.
