PROPERTY DAMAGED

In forcibly loading lillelt cargo on e trains, the Japanese and Korean snugglers' just tossed it in through the windows. damaging the windowsill and breaking chairs and other equipment on the trains. According to the Railway Minis- ry's report this happened eight times, but only three times damage of $13.80 was paid for.

The smuggling situation has be- come much

lately. The worse smugglers simply refuse to pay transport dues and board the trains carrying their licht goods as luggage. Upon arriving at their destination they unload and carry them out from the station by themselves.

:1

The report further states that it is now a matter of frequent oc- currence for Japanese and Korean's to pack in the passenger coaches. overload cars, break windows, and crush seats. They shout and act savagely beyond, reason. Thus re- gular passengers cannot travel without molestation, and peace and order on the trains and also at the

stations have been greatly dis turbed,
