"Mail Carrying Railways Underpaid" by the Committee on Railway Mail Pay is a compelling report from the early 1900s that unveils the financial struggles faced by American railroads due to unfair mail service payments. Representing a massive network of railway companies spanning over 200,000 miles, the committee argues that the compensation received for carrying mail fails to cover operating costs or provide any profit. The report challenges claims of overpayment by the Postmaster-General, revealing how recent payment cuts have pushed railways to the brink, especially with the expected surge in mail from new parcel services. It pushes for new laws to fix the payment system, ensuring railroads are fairly paid for the necessary support they provide to the country's postal system.
