ON THE CANAL
Government HOLSTERS Seek to Evade
the National Statutes


Chief Engineer Wallace of the Is
thmian Canal Commission had an in
ter view with Secretary Taft last Mon
day in which conditions on the canal
were discussed. Afterward Mr.. Wal
lace met such members of the commits
sion as are in the city.
AS to the right of the commission to
employ labor for more than eight
hours per day, there is a belief that
the eight-hour Law does not apply to
the canal zone. Chief Engineer Wal
lace says that it would very seriously
impede work to have the eight-hour
law in effect during the construction
of the canal. 1t would be impossible
to make uniform hours for all labor,
because some labor must be twelve
hours, while ten hours is the regular
rule for most of the workingmen.
Chief Engineer Wallace could Eek
pedite" the work of the canal by
working the laborers twentyfour hours
day instead of twelve or thirteen. If
the canal work and the canal zone are
under the control of this government
then the laws of this government, and
not the whims of some engineer
should prevail. The government law
makes eight hours days work for
the government-althoug compara-
lively few among the clerks and chiefs
work that long. But the common la
borers and the mechanics in the gov
ernment employ have to put in full
time.
There is no more reason why the
canal laborers should be made to vfO
late the law than there is that the
flag should float over territory where
United States authority does not pre-
vail.

greeted with applause from all sides.
The attendance was unusually good,
owing perhaps to the fact that every
body thought there might be some
"doings" relative to political endorse
ments. The excitement was sup
pressed. however, and things moved
along smoothly.
