CANAL COMMISSION
Denounces Plan to Employ Chi
nese Labor as a Direct
Violation of Law.

WASHINGTON, Aug. ll.-Samuel
Gompcrs, president of the American
Federation of Labor, today issued
statement concerning the action of the
Isthmian Canal commission in deciding
to introduce Chinese coolie labor in the
work Of constructing the canal across
the Isthmus of Panama. The statement
is as follows:
50 1t seems that those in charge of the
Panama canal construction have regard
for neither law nor principle. First, in
the most extraordinary manner, the
eight-hour law is annulled in the great
est public work ever undertaken by
the Government, under the pretense
that conditions there are different than
they are in the United States. 1t must
appeal to the veriest tyro that if eight
hours Of work is regarded as sufficient
in the comparatively temperate climate
of the United States, certainly ten,
eleven and even more hours of labor n
day in the pestilential and miasmatic
atmosphere Of the Panama zone are
not only improper but outrageous and
brutal.
1.-The existing law excludes Chinese
lnborers and coolies from the United
States or any of its possessions. The
Panama canal zone is an American pos
session, and it is as much violation
of the law to bring Chinese coolies there
as it is in other portions of our coun-
try.
''Some time ago, in an interview I
had with Chairman Shonts, I protested
against the employment Of Chinese
coolies in the Panama canal construc-
ton, as had been published in the
newspapers it was the intention of Mr.
Shonts to do He there and then en-
phatically stated that it was not the
intention then TO employ Chinese coolies
and they would not be employed under
his administration -

of the District court, today made an

Judge Ben B. Lindsey. for contempt OF
court in refusing to testify in the fran
chise election contest, and ordering
Sheriff Nisbet to bring them into the
criminal court. Judge Mullins assumes
jurisdiction of the case under the prac-
tice of the District court which pro
vides that writs of habeas corpus issued
by civil judges must be made return
able in the criminal division. Judge
Palmer had made the writ returnable
before him on September II, and re-
leased the prisoners on bonds. The

District Judge Mullins entered second
order, remanding the four men to Jail
until the habeas corpus application
comes regularly before the criminal

surprising, not warranted in law and
opposed to decisions Of the Supreme
court -

for the four witnesses IN contempt.

SULTAN STILL SICK
Most Noted Physician of Germany Sum
moned to Attend Him.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 1.-THE
Sultan, who has been i'll for three
weeks, was unable to attend the selam-
lik yesterday. This is unprecedented,
tho Sultan never having failed to per-
form the Friday prayers during tho
thirty years of his reign,
1t is believed that tho inability of
the Sultan to attend tho selamlik was
due to the extreme pain ho is suffer
ing and not to the fact that his condi-
tion is grave. Prof Bergman, the ia
nous German surgeon, has been sum
moncd to attend him and it is presumed
that n slight operation is necessary.
