WALLACE SEES TAFT.
Length of Working Day On the Canal
Is Discussed.

Washington, April 1O.-Chief Engi-
neer Wallace of the canal commission.
had an interview with Secretary Taft
today in which the conditions on the
canal were discussed. Afterward Mr..
Wallace met such members of the
commission as are in the city. AS to
the right of the commission to employ
labor for more than eight hours per
day there is d belief that the eight
hour law does not apply to the canal
zone. Chief Engineer Wallace says
that it would very seriously impede
work to have the eight hour law in
effect during the construction of the
canal It would be impossible to make
uniform hours for all labor because
some labor must be employed twelve
hours, while ten hours is the regular
rule for most of the working men.
