System Proposed by American
Railway Association Eff
fective July |
WILL INSURE ACCURACY
Charge of 20 Cents "A Day for Cars
Will BE Made Instead of by the
MiIe-Expected to RevOIu-
tiOnize Present System.

NEW YORK, May 27.-The necessary
agreements to the plan Of the American
Railway association for establishing per
diem charges for freight cars while in
use elsewhere than on their home roads
have been received at the headquarters
of the association in this city.
The approval of a majority of the
members of the association owning or
controlling two-thirds of the freight cars
was made a condition of the plan when
it was adopted at the annual meeting,
Arrn "a, and today Secretary Allen sent
out notices to all the members that there
were now no obstacles and the new plan
therefore would go into effect July l, the
date liked in the new rules. The agree
ments pledge the members to adhere to
the per diem plan for a year.
By imposing a charge of 20 cents for
every twenty-four hours after the car is
off its home road and in use on another,
instead of a charge of six-tenths of a
cent per mile run, the present rate it is
expected that this portion of railroad
car accounting will be reVolutionized
and order and accuracy established.
There are about 100000 freight cars
owned by members of the American Rail
way association, and the gross amount of
exchange rate under the new per diem
plan would be 100000 a day if all were
affected. 1t is estimated that about 60
per cent of the freight cars remain on
their home roads.
