Uncle Sam and the Docks Graft Case in New York
A narrative about a federal agent known as Special Agent Gard who infiltrates the New York customs graft network. He befriends a port weighman, Toole, to uncover widespread fraud led by corrupt weighers and government officials. The piece describes how informants and undercover methods yielded dozens of guilty weighers and massive unpaid duties, ending with a broad cleanup effort and praise for honest pursuit.
