Practical Suggestions on Codifying the Law of Warehouse Receipts

Authors

Francis B. James

Abstract

Of one hundred and sixty national commercial organizations in the United States, the American Bankers' Association and the American Warehousemen's Association have manifested the deepest interest and cooperation in improving the commercial law and making it uniform. It will be superfluous to discuss the wisdom of and necessity for codifying the law of warehouse receipts and making that law uniform throughout the United States, because the American Warehousemen's Association has already placed itself on record on these questions and appropriated fifteen hundred dollars and The Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws has employed Mr. Barry Mohun of the Washington bar and Professor Samuel Williston of Harvard Law School to do the work. It remains to make a few practical suggestions on framing and perfecting this code.
