Press Assn.
Dunedin, Aug. 26.
Supporting the Canterbury Chamber pf Commerce in urging more severe penalties for pillaging, the Dunedin chamber cites local losses in recent weeks. In hosiery, drapery, footwear and overcoats three firms lost £597. In a further instance of a case sealed by the customs and transhipped to Dunedin 20 pairs of gloves valued at 15s a pair were abstracted. Wharf workers refused to handla the case because it had been opened, and it was later found that a further 90 pairs had been pillaged.
