POSTAL READJUSTMENT
Thc ways arc now being greased for
the launching of the movement for
the readjustment of postal rates in
the next session of congress. This
problem was to have been taken up
in the last session but had to be de-
ferred on account of the consideration
required by railway mail pay. Since
this has been disposed of, the com-
mittees are prepared to take up the
matter of placing the various postal
rates on a more equitable basis.
A zone system of rates for second
class matter is being prominently urg-
"d to take the place of the present
flat rate, vhi'-h was adopted nearly
