C., Feb. 26. (By A. P.).-The postal pay and rate increase bill received final congressional ap- proval today and now goes to the president. The conference report, practically substituting the House bill for that passed by the Senate was accepted by the Senate after short debate. The vte was 69-12, eight Democrats and four Republicans vot- ing against the conference report. The measure provides for an in- crease of about $300 annually in post- al employees salaries effective as of January 1, this year, and increases postal rates, effective April 15,next, to raise about $60,000,000 of the $68,- 000,000 required for the pay advances. The bill also carries as a "rider" a corrupt practices act strictly limiting campaign expenditures of congression- al candidates as. recommended by the Senate campaign fund committee. The salary increases are the same as carried in the measure passed at thet last scssion and vetoed by Presidentt Coolidge. With the rate advancest added, however, administration lead- ers are hopeful the bill will receive£ presidential approval. Opposition to the conference report today was based entirely on the ratea provisions, Senator Harrison, Demo- crat, Mississippi, declaring the Sen- ate conferees had yielded to the high- a er rates in the House bill after a con- ference with President Coolidge. Son-t ator McKellar, Democrat, Tennessee,t one of the conferees, also told thel Senate the president had "asserted his1 preroga.tive" in insisting on some of the rate increases, mentioning par-1 ticularly the two cents service charge on parcel packages. The bill is one of the first pieces of general legislation outside oi the ap- propriation m1a sues to be sent, to the White House this session. It was ad- vanced at the time by the Senate, by a close margin vote to sustain the veto of a pay increase measure. While no time limit is placed on the rate increases, the bill provides for a joint congressional committee to conduct hearings this summer with a view to recommending further revi- sions of the schedule at the next ses- sion.
