Two Firmis Victims of Most Dangerous Imitators, Sure- ty Head Says. By the Associated Press ST. LOUIS, Aug stances of concerns wh have been counterfeited and are belng circulated by organized check coun- terfeiters were disclosed here yester- day by William H. Goodwin, district supervisor of the forgery department of the National Surety Co. The checks are for small sums, he said, but they are passed in whole quantities, totaling thousands of dollars. The, counterfeit checks are those of the Art Metal Construction Co., branch of a national concern, with headquarters at Jamestown, N. Y. and the Comar Oil Co. the Roxana Petroleum € “The most dangerous counterfeiters we have to deal with,” explained Goodwin, “is not the counterfeiter of United States money, but rather the counterfeiter of bank checks of well known business concerns. Loss Is $200,000,000. “The loss from passing of worthless checks has reached a staggering amount. While in 1919 the total loss for the country did not exceed $10, 000,000, last year it was more than $200,000,000. Many of the most skillful counter- feiters in the country have turned their attention to the newer game because there is quicker and easier money in checks and less chance of serving long sentences. “In addition to the current cases here, there have been cases of forgers using the cliecks of the National Fruit Flavor Co. of New Orleans, the Sun Maid Raisin Co. of California and the National Wire and Iron Co. of Toledo, Ohio “The forger is particularly danger- ous because he times his operation and has about 30 d: to make a get- away. It usually takes that long for the victim to discover his loss.” Trade conditions in England have affected lawyers' fees, many leaders now receiving only one-fourth the sum they months ago.
