from the privilege Of freight trans
portation by rail The Merchants
Association Of New York has protest
ed against such an exclusion, advo-
eating some less radical change to
minimize OF prevent the theft OF silk
in transit.
Among the methods frequently
used by thives are the following:
A truckman at n freight station
with load Of goods watches his op-
portunity and takes the freight clerks
receiving stamp, puts II on the bill Of
lading and then drives of with the
goods which he sells. He has a prop
erly reeeipted bill Of lading from the
railroad to show his employer. For
geries Of the receiving stamp are
sometimes used.
Another method is for a truckman
to drive into a city freight yard with
an empty box on his truck, The gate
man takes a record Of the truck and
its load and when il leaves extra
packages must be accounted for.
But the truckman in this instance
substitutes box Of stolen merehan-
disc for the empty he brought in. Or
he may have bottomless box which
he places over smaller package con-
tanning stolen goods.
Robbers often get aboard trains

He said he met lots of Cox admirers
