Washington, Dec 1e.-The first re-
port to the state department from
United States Consul General Good
now at Shanghai, contains a warning
to American railroad men not to go to
China for employment. Says he:
1.-THE American only invites starva-
ticn who comes here without definite
contract Of employment with some re-
putable firm made before he leaves
America. ! must advise United States
railway employees that there is at
present no market for their labor in
China and should more roads be con-
structed there will be market only IL
these roads are built by Americans"
The consul general says he has had
had many inquiries from American
railway men as to the chance for en-
ployment in China, so he describes the
small Chinese railroad systems TO
show the hopelessness of looking In
that direction for work. There are only
two railways in operation with q. total
mileage of $685. miles. They employ
only q trainmen, of whom four are
engineers, and the managers and di-
vision superintendent. The operatives
are practically all Chinese and a
foreigner cannot compete with them.
The highest salaried natives are the
telegraph operators at $40 per month.
Engineers get $40 to $50 and train hands
and trackmen So to sic per month. All
of this is in Mexican silver, worth "A
cents in gold on the dollar. The roads
are paving Is per cent dividends.
Another road is under construction
from Shanghai to Woo Sung, II miles,
ard Chinese are doing all of the work
and on Dec. IS, the first sod was turned
on the projected road from HankoW to
Picking, the completion of which de-
ponds upon the success of the Belgian
syndicate on floating its loan.
Mr.. GoodnoW recounts the ambitious
schemes of Director Sheng of the i'm
perial railways to create a vast SyS-
tenn of railways in central China, and
encioses a map showing the projects.
He says Sheng's plan is to build these
roads as money can be borrowed out
side of China He proposes to couple
with the railway loans government
loan of S0,O000O0 to pay the balance of
the Japanese war indemnity. In this
way the option of building the Chinese
roads would be held out to the parties
taking the government loan and the
support Of foreign governments for the
government loan would be secured by
allowing the syndicate to furnish all
the material and skilled labor needed
for the railroads. Mr.. Goodnow points
out that under these conditions there
will be no market for American rail
way material or labor unless Ameri-
cans furnish the money to build the
RAILWAY
