hour and a half late while passing

tale.
The train of ten Sheayily loaded
coaches were making little progress
and seemed destined to reach FL Paso
late IN the morning. A large party Of
Pennsylvania railway engineers was
lon board and the prospect of losing
ne was not cheering to them. AS
|~sistant General Freight Agent Patter,
son Of Kansas City, who happened to
be on board the train. overheard the
words Of criticism and taking out his
card case addressed this note to the
engineer and sent It to the locomotive
cab at the first stop:
"A party of Pennsylvania engineers
On board. They think you're not max.
ing, good time"
The effect was instantaneous and
astonishing. That grey-haired engi.
leer opened the throttle and let her
stay OPEN The big train fairly flew.
The engineers looked at one another
amazed but Mr.. Patterson and two of
his friends who knew Of the note sat
quietly in the smoker and chuckled
Mile after mile the iron horse ran at
lightning speed until finally the con.
ductor, fearful that something might
snap, twisted the bellp on the engi.
But the run had been made and
the n and one-half hours had been
made up in a distance Of about 100
miles.

PANAMA's BIG LABOR PROBLEM
Work for Hundreds of Thousands of
Men Digging the Canal.

Labor for building the Panama canal
is going to be one of the great prob
lens which the United States govern
ment will be called upon to solve in
connection with that great work. There
has been a great deal of difficulty in
selecting the route and in buying the
canal property, getting a concession
from Colombia, and afterward sup
porting a revolution which made the
Panama strip independent; securing a
treaty with the new republic, having
that treaty ratified, and last of all in
getting through bill leaving the gov
eminent of the canal zone to the pres
ident of the United States. All OF
these things entailed a great deal OF
trouble. 1t meant the solving of in
ternational and financial problems. But
now a different phase is presented
After the engineers have decided what
work shall be done, and their plans
have been approved, then comes the
great task of actual work. Machinery
can be used to great advantage, but
hundreds of thousands of men will
have to be employed if the canal is
constructed within a reasonable time
The employment of these men involves
two great questions; one, whether they
shall be contract coolie labor brought
over from China, Mexico, the West In
dian islands, or wherever cheap la
Dor can be obtained, or whether the
rigid rule of exclusion is to be applied
to the canal strip, and none but Amer
lean labor employed. The labor un
ions have already taken the matter up
and are very anxious to prevent the
employment of the cheap Chinese la
Dor.
