m Canal From Spain.

Washington, D. C.-Through their
efforts to obtain labor for work on
the Isthmian Canal members of the
Canal Commission have found that
there Is a dearth of labor in prac-
tically all parts of the world. So
great is the demand for labor in con-
nection with railroad building and
other improvements on a large scale
that countries which formerly have
sent thousands of laborers to this
country monthly are now using thier
labor at home.
Leroy Park, an agent for the COM
mission, has been in Spain for some
months recruiting l%aborers, and has
found manv difficulties in obtaining
the Spanish workmen who have
shown themselves so we'll adapted to
the conditions in Panama. Hundreds
of men whom he has sent to the
canal zone are writing favorable re-
ports to their friends in Spain, and in
a short time Mr.. Park expects to send
a large number of workmen.
