AT the next meeting of the Western Pas
senger Association the question of the con-
solidation of authority and responsibility
In the management of the Western rail-
roads passenger department will come up
for discussion. One of the plans contem-
plates combining the work of the clergy
passenger bureau in the territory west of
Chicago. The clergy bureau, which attends
to the issuance of certificates to those en-
titled to them under the rules of the sew
eral associations. has formed an important
part Of the Western Transcontinental and
the Southwestern Passenger Association.
Up to the date that the Southwestern Pas
senger Association passed out Of existence,
but still maintaining its clergy bureau, the
advocates of consolidation urged that by
consolidation the work can be better done,
with less annoyance TO the public and less
expense to the railroads. Ii contemplated
plans are adopted the charge of 81, which
the Western and other passenger associa-
ton bureaus have made, will be discon-
tinued. The advocates of the combination
of all the clergy bureaus are using the same
arguments that are current regarding the
consolidation of the several passenger as
sociations. That something will come of the
movement is thought to be assured, unless
the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific should
become obstinate.

PER diem PLAN A SUCCESS
HAS DONE MUCH TO ELIMINATE CON-
GEsTION AND KEEP CARS AT HOME.
May Consolidate Clergy Bureaus as m
Economical Measure-GOssip as to
Vanderbilt Changes.

The per diem plan which was adopted by
the American Railway Association for car
operation of the several lines will have been
in operation a year on July /. The wisdom
of the original rule has been shown in nu-
merous instances since that time. New
rules have been introduced and the arrange
ment extended until the system is now
working admirably, especially for the more
important lines. Freight officials claim that
the arrangement has done more than any,
thing else to facilitate car movement and
has served to keep the companies cars on
their lines. A transportation man said 1t
had been especially successful in connec-
ton with operation with the trunk lines.
Smaller roads have not been profited so
greatly by it, for it tends to promote ship
ments at long distances on several lines,
particularly on the longer trunk systems
Many of the important rules have been
made by the committee in the last few
months, and some of the roads claim they
are too stringent and threaten at the end of
the per diem year to withdraw, but there
will be an abundance of new applications
The schedule of charges under the plan is
70 cents for each day held after time for
release of the car up to thirty days; at the
end of twenty days a notice is sent to the
road holding the car, and If the release is
not made at the end Of thirty days the
charge is 81 for each day held. This tends
TO stir the freight men up TO unloading and
loading cars promptly.

The Iron and Machinery World, of Chi
cago. in its issue of to-day, says: Heavy
steel rail buying for 1904 delivery has made
the Chicago market remarkably lively for
the past few days. The railway track re-
quirements for 1904 can now be fairly well
estimated by most Of the roads. The needs
will be large, for an unprecedentedly heavy
traffic, carried in heavier trains by heavier
locomotives, has shortened the life of the
100000 tons of steel rails now in use,
making requirements more extensive than
usual, while second track and extensions
will also call for a heavy tonnage. There
seems little doubt that considerably more
than 100000 tons of rails will be need
ed in 1904, and Of that amount nearly
10000 tons have been purchased in this
present squirt Almost every Western sys-
tenn has opened negotiations and many have
already purchased. There has also been
improved inquiry for plates this past week.
This, too, is traceable largely to the rail-
roads, for they are designing and arrang-
ing to rebuild many bridges. Inquiries at
Chicago this past week exceeded $500

Referring to the battle" between the ne

was not word of truth in it. The bat

battle came they took to their heels and
there wasn't lick passed between them

boy thirteen years old, and beat him un-

tected. and we hope this will be the last
trouble. CHARLES WILLIAMS,

Most of the reports regarding prospective
changes on the Vanderbilt lines west Of
Buffalo meet with denial w. c. Brown,
vice president of the New York Central
and the Lake Shore, was asked for confr-
nation of the report, which he said he was
unable to give. He said if anything of that
sort is in the air he knew nothing of it. If
this gossip is confirmed one of the most
surprising changes in the official list of the
railroads In the Vanderbilt system that has
ever been known in this territory will be
wrought. The distinct traffic and operating
system will doubtless remain intact with
the possible exception of a few outside traf-
fic officers. An old report that there is to
be a consolidation in these lines for the
purpose of cutting down expenses has been
revived.
