Sunday Mail Delivery Legislation

DURING the consideration of the Post-office Appropriation Bill (H. R. 21279) in the committee of the whole House on April 16, Representative Mann introduced the following amendment: “Provided, that hereafter post-offices shall not be open on Sunday for the purpose of delivering mail to the public.” It will be remembered that Mr. Mann introduced a measure (H. R. 9433) looking to this end during the last session of Congress, but it was referred to the Committee on Post-offices, where it still remains without action. The bill as amended, if passed by Congress, commits that body to Sunday legislation. We are in hopes that it will not go through in its present shape.
