EIeHT-HoUR DAY ON IsTHMus
ADVOCATED.
CALLS ATTENTION TO SANITARY.
Patterson Saws Canal Zone viii Be
Slaughter House - Almost Entire
Day Taken up on This Matter in the
Senate Chamber.
Monday, February IL.

Washington. Almost the entire
session of the senate was devoted to
the consideration of the urgent defici-
ency appropriation bill, which was
passed practically as it was reported
from the committee on appropriations.
The only discussion in connection with
the bill was over the amendment sug-
gested by Mr.. Patterson to strike out
the provision relieving alien workmen
on the canal from the operation of
the eight-hour law. Mr.. Patterson
contended that to require men to Ia
Dor more than eight hours a day in
the tropics was inhuman, and argued
tice to American labor Several sena-
tors on both sides of the chamber con-
troverted the position.
What it all means in plain, brutal
English is that there is being prepar.
ed on the isthmus slaughter house
for aliens and that the canal is to be
built at fearful cost, not only of
money, but of life responded Mr..
Patterson, in persisting in pressing
the amendment upon the senate.
Mr.. Gallinger called attention to the
statement of the canal officials that
sanitary conditions on the isthmus
were much improved, and Mr.. Patter-
son replied that these statements did
not correspond with the lesson given
by senators.
Mr.. Tillman also took issue with
Mr.. Patterson, saying that when the
Colorado senator makes an appeal for
alien labor he would better look a
little closer home, and consider the
American laborer, who, in the end
must pay for building the canal
Mr.. Patterson withdrew the amend
ment he had offered and offered an
other fixing the limit of a days labor
on canal work at ten hours instead OF
eight. The amendment was lost.
Mr.. Tillman expressed dissatisfac
ton with the relationship between the
canal commission and the Panama
Railroad Company. and said he hoped
the canal commission would FIND
means of unifying the canal and the
road. Mr.. Hale agreed with the state
ment made by Mr. Tillman as to the
desirability of doing away with the
dual agreement.
