Our people, who are accustomed to regu
lar and reliable labor. have evidently not
taken these peculiarities Of the native races
into consideration. The English and other
Europeans who have colonies In the East
Indies have learned this at tremendous
cost, but their experience Is of no value to
The officers at the Cavite navy yard are be-
ginning to learn by vexatious Incidents
that are occurring over there every day.
The native employees are so irregular that
the heads of the different departments
never know how many men they Will have
at work in the morning. The Filipino has
most aggravating habit of staying at
home or going to cock fight. or to some
religious fiesta, without giving notice OF
his intentions. He observes all the reli-
gious anniversaries, and they are numerous.
And usually when orders are received to
rush some particular job. a considerable
portion of the force will take a notion to
loaf for day or two. or attend cock
fight or fiesta up in the country, and no
amount Of scolding or entreaty will make
the slightest difference with them. An Of
partments with 100 men on his pay roll
told me the other day he never knew how
many to expect. Sometimes they were all
there sometimes only few. and usually
about three-fifths of the whole number.
1t might not be out of place here to quote
what Is said on this subject by John Fore
man. author of q standard work on the
Philippines. who lived In these islands forty
years or more ago. and Is supposed to be
an authority. He says:

constant labor from the natives would be
unprocurable. The native day labOrer
