This only applies to such letters, etc., that arrive too late to be delivered to passengers on board during their stay at the quarantine station.

New York Porter Service. Passengers are reminded that the porters on the New York piers are not allowed to ask for gratuities in consideration of the handling of passengers' baggage, because they are paid sufficient wages for their services.

If, nevertheless, any porter should demand payment for handling such baggage, passengers are requested to note the number plate on his cap and to report him to one of the uniformed policemen on the pier.

In addition, passengers are earnestly advised to direct their enquiries concerning baggage or passage matters exclusively to persons who, by their uniforms, are plainly seen to be Hapag employees.

Failing this precaution, they expose themselves to the risk of being taken advantage of by unauthorized persons.
