CARRY MAILS ON SPACE BASIS.
New Arrangement With Railroads
Believed More Equitable.

Transportation of mails on space
basis of pay for the railroads instead
of weight basis was begun at mid
night last night on more than 95 per
cent. of the railroads of the country.
It was announced this morning at the
postoffice department by Otto Praeg-
er, second assistant postmaster gen.
eral, says the Washington Star of
"wednesday, that every indication was
that the change had been smoothly
made, and that there had been no
considerable bitches.
''Everything has been carefully
worked out" said Mr.. Praeger, "and
while up to this time I have had a
report from only one superintendent
the very fact that there have been no
wires received indicates to me that
no trouble has been experienced"
1t was learned that the one SUI
perintendent who reported to Mr..
Praeger during the course of the
morning was Steven A! Cisler, who
informed his chief that everything
was running expeditiously on his di-
vision, which includes Virginia,
MARYLAND and North and South Caro-
lima.
Full Reports Expected.

A wire was sent to each of the fiji
teen superintendent all over the
country yesterday morning, instruct
ing them to keep in close touch with
all railroads in their divisions during
the first day Of operation Of the
changed system, and full reports
from each are expected tonight.
The change established last night,
which, according to Mr.. Praeger,
merely involves measuring by the
yard stick instead of by the scale, "
has been under discussion at the
postof1ice department for many years.
1t has alternately met with favor and
disfavor from the railroads of the
country, and recently it was determ-
ined to give the exponents Of the
scheme a chance to esta blish the su-
periority which they claimed for it
over the old methods of handling the
mails.
THE scheme has ben established in
Canada for three years." said Mr..
Praeger this morning. 1T was put
into effect almost over night there,
and has ever since been popular. We
are convinced here at the department
that it is q. far more equitable plan
than the weight system, and believe
that the majority of the railroads
have come to our way of thinking"

payment, the impracticability of pro-
