COD Mail Swindle
Said Increasing
An increase has been noted in
the type of swindle where un
ordered COD parcels are sent
to - the : address of', recently de
ceased persons, according to in
formation received recently by
the Chamber of Commerce from
Postmaster General Arthur E.
Summerfield.
The COD articles, usually in
expensive Bibles, religious arti
cles or similar goods,, are sent
at. exorbitant prices because the
swindler knows the bereaved
family will usually accept them,
believing they were ordered by
the deceased, the report said.
Operators of the racket scstn
death notices to find the names
and addresses' of recently de
ceased persons. .
An increase in this particular
racket has been indicated in re
cent reports by postal inspectors,
Summerfield said. He urged citi
zens to report any suspected
swindle of this nature to their
postmaster.

Striking-members of the Mas
ters, Mates and Pilots were to

pilotage: Employers offered an
85-cent daily welfare contribu
tion but turned ; down the fee
schedule, saying it would cost
$150 a month! -
