Calling on shippers to improve methods of packing and marking freight shipments, Adm. F. A. Zeus- ler, executive assistant to the Pres- ident, said: “We are convinced that when shippers actually become aware of the cost to them of inadequate packaging and hit-and-miss mark- ing, these practices will be discon- tinued. Then the major problems involved in overcarried and lost damaged and pilfered merchandise will have been met from the ship- per’s standpoint.” Zeusler said the company paid $114561.08 in claims during the year from May 27, 1947 to May 6, 1948.
