FUTURE OF ERIE CANAL.
Engineer Tells How It May Regain
Importance.


New York, Dec. 1.-Maior Thomas w.
Symons of the corps of United States
engineers has prepared a paper for the
American Society of Civil Engineers on
the Canals From the Lakes to New
York, in which he says, in part:
The decline in traffic on the Erie
canal is due TO very many causes. the
principal ones being that il is not in
any manner up TO date, that the towing
is still being done on it largely by
horses and mules. and business has
never been organized and conducted
on modern lines. It has been seriously
handicapped by the facts that improve
mentS have been undertaken and dis
cussed which would render the old
types and sizes of boats obsolete. rem
derIng it inadvisable as business pro-
position for people to build new boats
for canal business or to replace those
outwOrn, with the possibility before
them of larger canal in the near
future.
That the traffic on the Erie canal
has declined is true, but it would i'm
mediately spring up and grow to euOr-
nous dimensions if a proper barge
canal were built in its place, if legis-
latiVe restrictions on the capital Oper-
atinE transportation companies were
removed. and if the business We're or
gained in a thoroughly up to date
manner II must not be forgotten that
if the Erie canal has stood still, or
0rse than that, for the last thirty
years. the competing railroads have
improved their transportation facilities
enormously in ways which il is unnec-
essary to recount here"

PORTO RICANS LAND.
Contract Labor Laws Are Held Not
to Apply.

New Orleans, Dec. Under direc-
ton from Washington the Porto Rican
immigrants who arrived here on the
Arradia under contract to work on SUI
gar plantations in Hawaii were allowed
to land and today took a special train
for San Francisco. No restrictions were
placed on them, nor were they required
to give bond, as Cinnamon DO when
passing through the country.
The immigration authorities took the
position that the Porto Ricans are
people of the United States. and there
fore not subject 10 the restrictions
placed on foreign immigrants hy the
immigration law, which shuts out all
contract labor.
It was admitted the Porto Ricans
came to this country under contract,
and the only issue was as to their
rights as American citizens. The inn
migration bureau has decided in their
favor.

the unions affiliated with the Building
Trades council was just To maintain
