PILFERAGE OF CARGO
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS. (reiitbu's telegram.) (Received April 19, 2 p.m.) LONDON, 18th April. 'The interim report of the Committee of the Chamber of Shipping on pilferage of goods in transit emphasises the fact that the average claims paid by seven different steamship companies engaged in the same trade ranged from twenty-one to sixty-two pence per ton of cargo. The report says this divergence is mainly due to the varying practices aboard in regard to tallying and watching. The report recommends more efficient control and supervision of loading and discharging by ships' officers and other precautions.
