Order Issued Regarding Laborers in
the Canal Zone

The isthmian canal commission today
made public the text OF the following order
issued at Panama, February 10 last:
ton, construction and engineering. and
division OF material and supplies. All
concerned:

secretary; John f. Stevens. chief engineer;
W. G. Tubby, Chief division material and

The explanation of this order, made at
the offices of the commission, is in brief as
follows:
Heretofore there have been two rates OF
pay for the employees on the silver rolls,
nearly all natives, of the laboring class,
namely. 20 cents and 20 cents per hour.

ment system had been inaugurated by the
was TO offer the ambitious laborers chance
to better their wages by superior effort
and energy. That Is to say, If laborer
employed at 20 cents showed interest in
his work and did more work than the
average laborer, he would be promoted to
the 26-cent class. But this plan did not
work well. 1t led to many underhand
laborers to get the advanced wage, and
also led the different department heads to
enter into an unwhoiesome competition to
secure the best iaborers from each others
work. Therefore the order was issued to
put stop to the practice.

Upon the provisions of the bill giving the
commission authority over the rates Of
connecting roads the senator said:
zone of the objections to the bill is that
this is the attempt to make a contract for
two roads where the carriers themselves
refuse to contract. The fact is that it is
not an attempt to make a contract, but
it Is an attempt to impose a condition
where certain obligations exist, but the
parties upon whom the obligations rest
refuse to settle the conditions of their per-
formance. If 1t were not possible to au-
tnorize the commission in this respect, a
carrier by refusing to make through rate
could defeat the very purpose of the law
which Is to regulate interstate commerce.
The proposed provision is not the only in
stance where conditions arrived at against
the will of parties take the place of
contract between the parties. In the very
inception of the carriers existence, If un-
able to make a contract with the land
owners over whose premises the road is to
be built, provision is made for obtaining at
the hands of the law, a condition which
stands In the place of the contract which
the carrier and the land owner are unable
to make. The carrier, obtaining its charter
under the state law is nevertheless bound
by the power vested in the federal govern
ment to regulate interstate traffic.
THE duty rests upon the carriers to
transport this traffic at a reasonable rate
under an arrangement in the first instance
entered into between themselves but IL
they cannot or VIII not agree to the pro-
visions under which an obligation is to be
performed, then the law can supply what
they are unable to reach themselves. This
has been definitely settled In two cases that
came up from Minnesota. In one case the
commission sought to regulate joint rate,
and the federal Supreme Court sustained
the act: in the other the commission went
further than merely determining how the
carriers should employ the property they
already had. but required them to put In a
". which involved their acquiring addi-
tonal property-even the power OF eminent
domain-and that received the sanction of
the federal Supreme Court"
Objection Of Unconstitutionality.
Mr. Clapp pointed out that objection Is
made to the bill that 1t Is unconstitutional
in that 1t provides a severe penalty of
which 1t Is urged the mourning thereof is
the price which the carrier must possibly
pay to take suit into court. But" he
said. this provision has been carefully
guarded against by a provision OF the bill.
II provides that the order OF the commits
sion shall go into effect unless 1t Is re-
strained or vacated by the court. While

OF the law may take his risk In a tempo

religious celebrations for the faculty and
students. One of the most important oc-
CURED this morning, the occasion being the
feast of st. Thomas of Aquinas. This
saint is commemorated throughout the
world as one of the great doctors of the
Roman Catholic Churcn-the patron saint
of philosophy-and his feast day is particu-
larry observed by the faculty of philosophy
OF the university. Distinguished clergy
participated in the ceremonies. and the en-
tire faculty and student bodies of the Cath
Ollie University and surrounding religious in
stitutIons of learning Were out in force to
do him honor.
The Very Rev Archbishop Moeller of
the see of Cincinnati was the ce!e5rant at
solemn high pontfcial mass in the
Divinity Chapel of Caldwell Hall at $50

academic gowns signifying their degrees.
and were seated, as far as possible, In the
pews which are placed iengthwise in the
chapel, as is the case in most community
chapeis. Chairs were brought into use TO
accommodate the overflow. A selected mu-
steal program was rendered by male
choir. and 1t is declared that no other
similar ceremony in this chapel ever ex-
ceeded It for picturesaueness and soiem-
nifty.
