purpose, instead, is to call atten-
tion to a problem that seems to
apply to our ports generally, aud

proportions owing to more or

the vital bearing that such losses
have upon our foreign trade pros

sent to the governors of other

every possible effort will be made

taken comprehensive measures to
stop such losses, and are co-operat-

Aid Fight Upon
Trade Thiefs

The cooperation of the gov

being sought by the United States
shipping board in an effort TO put
a stop to the appalling theft and
pilfering losses occurring in the
export and import trade OF this
country, according to letter re-
ceived by Governor Olcott, Mon
day, from A. d. Lasker, chairman
Of the shipping board.
Governor Olcott has forwarded
copies of the letters to the district
attorneys of Multnomah, Clatstop
and Coos counties, for their con-
sideration.
Underwriters and shippers testi-
flying before the congressional
committee recently declared that
these losses had increased from
500 to 1000 per cent within the
past three years and constitute an

Is stated, are reflected in the in
