New York ~Longshoremen Find Han
ding Of Millions Is All in Days
Work-U. S. Holds Fifth of
Worlds Supply.

New YOrk.-Gold, tons Of 1t, coming
dere on every large passenger liner
that plies the Atlantic. is handled by
seamen and longshoremen as noncha-
lantly as If it were scrap iron.
On such ships as the Olympic arrive
millions of dollars worth Of the pre-
clous metal-shipments such as would
have swamped an old galleOn sailing
the Spanish main. But the heavy, steel
bound boxes of ingots or coin stored
away in the holds of the giant liners
arouse among passengers and crew far
less interest than the presence of an
internationally known actress or prize
winning P~omeranian.
1t was recently announced that the
United States subtreasury vaults here
already held 81, 100000 in gold,
One-tifth of the worlds entire supply.
Gold as Freight.
Gold is classed as freight and a GER
tain, rate per ton is paid for transport
ing 1T, although, due to its value, spe-
cial consideration is given to its safe
ty. In each of these big ships is a
vault-known in ship language as the
strongroom. 1t is a big box or cham
Der, heavily lined with armor-plate
steel and located in one Of the lower
holds in such a position that it can be
approached from but one direction, by
a passage opening from but one door
or hatch.
There is no space around the strong
room for a would-be thief to work with
a drill and, indeed, If he should get in,
he would probably find himself a pris-
oner.
Delivered to the ship in a European
port, the purser carefully checks the
number of boxes of gold, notes the
stated value of the contents, sees to 1t
that proper customs permits for ship
ment have been issued and in the name
Of the ship signs the bills of lading.
Under his personal eye 1t is slowed In
the strongroom, where it is again
checked. The room is locked and the
