THINK BIG GANG OF THIEVES {5 ROBBING BOATS U. S. Chamber of Commerce in Argentina Believes Internation’ tional Organization Is Stial- ing Goods on Ships BUENOS AIRES, (By Mail.)—Zelief that a widespread international organt- zation is at. work stealing merchandise from steamships is expréssed tu a report of the United States Chamber of Com- merce in Argentina, The chamber in- vestigated the loss of valuable merchan- aise by pilfering from ships plying to this port and found “that the same characteristies are visible in thefts of merchandise from Italy, Spain, and Eng- land as from the United States," The investigation was made at the requést of the Allied Chamibers of Com- merce which asked all the members to make similiar invéstigations. “The increase in pilferage during the past few months had been alarming,” says the report. “An effort. was mate to deduce from the evidence received the value of the goods stolen, but, this was impossible altho in general terms it would seem to run, into hundreds of thousands of déllars gold. “One curious feature deyeloped which pvas that pilferage occurs with fre- quency in articles sent by parcel post,! for which there is no recourse if no value has been declared. “The thefts Have ull the character- istics of systematized robbery by peo- ple who know the merchandise and also know the peculiarities of the ship- pers. It would seem, moreover, that a widespread internatiqnal organization was at work for the same chazacteris- tics are wsible in thefts of merchandise from Italy, France, Spain, and Eng- land as from the United States. “One house imported a lot of 30 au- tomobiles. It is the custom ofthis fac tory to pack the set of tools in one special corner of the case, A Role was cut into this particular corner of 29 cases and the tool sets were removed. Apparently the thieves knew exactly where to look for the articles they de- sired. “Another house which imports dry foods found that. zinc-lined cases taal been opened, the silk contents removed and an equal weight of coal put into the cases which were nafled up. An- other house which also imports drg goods had several cases of silk -valvet completely rifled and <n‘ the cases were} found cotton goods of xn Inferior qual-} ity.

A merchant makes his Custom) House declaration in ‘nar mony. with the shipping documents re-|° ceived from abroad and must pay duty om goods that weré stolen. “The British steamship companiés at first and more recently the American steamship companies baye included in their bills of lading a clause to the ef- fect that the steamer will not be re. sponsible for pilferage in all cases in which loss-can be covered by insur ance. “Insurance companies are incre: and rifled them | ms their rates and threaten to make sti!!/the southern part of the Allegheny eoun> More increas®s, steamship companies and the ca is a direct invitation to unrestric! theft on board ship, As theft in: insurance rates will increase eventual prejudice to legitimate com> merce threatens to be very grave. “The opinion of responsible r ingtiranee agents and adj in clese tou that the only remedy ship ,companies to r mH bility for pilferage and in case they unwilling to do so governmental ; sure should be brot to bear to com- pel them te.
