CARGO BROACHING.
WHAT AN ACCUSED MAN SAYS.
[P&ESB ASSOCIATION.]
SYDNEY, April 12.
• Some startling allegations have been made in a case in which a wharf laborerwas charged with stealing cargo from the steamer Moldavia. r
The accused indicated that there was a wholesale system of broaching cargo carried on, and he was compelled to take part or incur the enmity of his fellow- workers. He had left Melbourne to escape the practice, but found it jusfo as rife in Sydney. He would not name the men implicated with^ him, as his life would not be saf&.
A stevedore stated in evidence that broaching cargo was a common practice, and 'a large number of men were engaged in it, but as they stuck to each other it was almost impossible to sheet home a conviction.
