National Postage Movement
Hi
There has been information here and elsewhere on the (US) National One Cent Letter Postage Association. It was active in the US in the 1910s and 1920s. There is a one frame exhibit shown in US National Shows. In the 1890s there was an organization out of Chicago, Illinois, called the National Postage Movement. I've done a googol search and an online search of the American Philatelic Research Library, both with no hits. Is there anyone in this newsqroup familiar with this organization? Have a nice day, Art |

Have a nice day, Art New York Times Jan. 10, 1895 TWO APPROPRIATION BILLS The House Passes Diplomatic and Postal Appropriations THE NEW-YORK OFFICE DISCUSSED Attempt to Cut Out Chicago Fast Mail Trains--Something About a National Postage Movement. Washington, Jan. 9-- [I move through various and sundry legislative initiatives...Mr. Pickler (Rep S,D,) moved to amend by a proviso that no railway clerk should be compelled to live at a terminus of the route upon which he was employed. A regulation to this effect had been promulgated by the Postmaster General...The amendment was ruled out on the point of order that it was new legislation....Mr. Perkins (Rep., Iowa) had read a letter from the publisher of an Omaha newspaper protesting against the establishment and maintenance of the fast mail trains from Chicago west for the benefit of the morning newspapers of that city.........Mr. Hopkins, (Rep. Ill.) said it was not true that trains were expedited for the sole benefit of the Chicago newspaper; they simply took advantage of a condition of affairs which they found in existence...but I am skipping through that...] We continue many paragraphs into the article of 1/10/1895: "Mr. Caruth (Dem., Ky.,) called attention to the national postage movement, having for its object the securing of legislation to reduce the rate of letter postage from 2 cents to 1 cent an ounce. He said that it was a scheme which, if successful, would result in putting millions of dollars in the pockets of the managers. The plan, he said, to secure contributions through State organizations from large patrons of the postal service of half the amount annually saved by the proposed change. The receipts from letter postage last year, Mr. Caruth said, were about $45,000,000, so that even if 10 per cent of the Post Office patrons contributed, the managers would reap a reward of over $2,250,000.... "the bill was agreed to in committee without change, reported to the House, and passed." Be as it ever will... This is all I found (so far) It is coming from one side, maybe it was legit....who knows.... |
