n ACT ON BILLS OF LAD|NG'
Stale Bankers Association Will
Consider Subject
70 PROTECT INNOCENT PURCHASERS
MANY OF THE BANKS HAVE BEEN
HEAVY LOSERS IN THE
PAST.
70 PROTECT INNOCENT PURCHASERS


At the coming convention OF the
State Bankers Association, to be held
in Tacoma, June q, % and %, the
bankers of washington are expected
TO take action on the uniform nego-
liable bill of lading matter, which has
been causing embarrassment and trouble
in the financial world for many years
past. The American Bankers Asso-
citation has taken it up and has asked
all the state associations to handle the
question at their annual conventions.
p G. Kaufman, of Tacoma, secre-
tary of the state association, who has
studied the subject carefully, said at
Tacoma:
To Protect Innocent Purchaser.
a year ago the American Bankers
Association appointed a committee of
five prominent bankers to prepare and
send to congress a bill that could be
handled by that body under it's power
to regulate interstate commerce. The
bill provided for uniform lading and
made the same negotiable, so that the
innocent purchaser or transferee would
have collateral that he could depend
upon.
The measure was presented to the
committee on interstate commerce and
the bankers committee in their argu-
ment for its passage showed its import
ance by the fact that last year the ad-
vances made by the bankers upon bills
of lading were upwards of $4,000 900;
that in fact, very large proportion
of the crops and manufactured articles
of the country were handled by the
banks by advances on bills of lading
covering those products; that if the
banks continued taking up such COL
lateral they must be assured of the
fact that when they have a bill of lad
ing the property described therein is
in existence and can be taken by them
in the event of the default by the con-
signor ar consignee.
Banks Lose Heavily.
VERY heavy losses have been sus-
tanned by banks owing to railroad COM
panies allowing the article to be taken
without presentation of the bill of lad
ing. and through carelessness in draw
ing bills of lading shippers have been
enabled to fraudulently alter the same
even though the bills We're what are
termed spent bills and hypothecate
them with banks, and obtain other ad-
vances
THE bill submitted by the bankers
regulating all this is still pending,
and it is hoped that sufficient senti-
ment in favor of it can be aroused to
secure its passage"
The bankers of Tacoma are making
preparation for the entertainment of
the visiting bankers during the state
conventions, and anticipate a success
full session.
