CARGO PILFERING.
COMMITTEE’S REPORT. IMPORTANT PROPOSALS, By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, July 1. The interim report of the Pilferage Committee condemns the custom of is suing bills of lading with goods received for shipment, as it facilitates pilferage. Shipowners are urged not to issue a shipped bill of lading until the goods are aboard the steamer. The report further states that owing to the lack of support by the London police a scheme for the supervision of cargoes is about to be withdrawn from certain docks, chiefly used by lines not controlled in London, but it is understood the police authorities are considering the extension of the London special dock police scheme for the whole river at a cost of £50,000 annually. The report recommends shipowners to keep in touch with the Department of the Overseas Trade and its commercial secretaries abroad, who have already rendered valuable assistance in connection with pilferage.— United Service.
