WHOUSAtB SYBTEM. A SYDNEY WHARF CONFEDERACY. Bj Telosrwih-Press Association—Com Mint. (Rec, April 12, 11.1 p.m.) Sydney, April 12. Soma startling allegations were made in a case in which a wharf labourer charged with stealing cargo from the steamer Moldavia. Accused indicated that there was a wholesale system of broaching cargo. He was compelled to take part in it, or he would incur tbe enmity of his fel-low-workers. Ho had left Melbourne to escape the practice, but found it just as rife in Sydney. He would not name the men implicated with him, as his life would not then be safe. A stevedore 6tated in evidence that the broaching of cargo was a common practice. A large number of men engaged in it, but as they stuck to ( each other it was almost impossible to sheet home a conviction.
