President
From The Tribune Bureau.l

Washington June 21.-"As soon as ] receive
official notification of the action of Congress III
tell shonts to cut loose"
This was the first exclamation Of the President
when he learned that the Senate had declared
to-day in favor of a lock canal across the
Isthmus Of Panama. The President expressed the
greatest possible delight over the action of the
Upper House, declaring that nothing which had
occurred this session had given him so much
genuine satisfaction. From now on, he said. the
work of actually constructing the canal will be
prosecuted vigorously and unremittingly.
The Kittredge Sea Level Canal bill was, ac-
ccrding TO previous agreement placed on pas
sage at 3 O'Clock this afternoon. Senator Hop
kins promptly offered his bill. providing for a
lock canal in accordance with the recommenda-
ton Of the President and the views of the minor
ity of the Committee on Interoceanic Canals, as
a substitute for the Kittredge measure. This
brought from Mr.. Kittredge motion TO lay the
Hopkins substitute on the table and on this the
test vote came
The ayes and noes came with alternate regu-
larity, and as the vote proceeded it was tmpos-
sible to judge of the result. although it was
known that Senator Hopkins believed last night
that he would have majority Of five votes for
his measure. Mr.. Burnham was the first Re-
publican 10 cast a vote for the sea level canal,
and he was Immediately followed by Mr.. Bur
rows. and moment later by Mr.. Gallinger and
Mr.. Hale. Then came Mr.. Dick. who had re-
fused to commit himself until the vote was
taken. Mr.. Kittredge, of course, voted for his
own motion. and the next Republican to op-
pose the administration Mr. McCumber
Senators Nelson and Platt followed, and Mr..
Ankeny. who came in late, voted with them.

A Fortune Every Week.

The thirty-odd thousand in the list
receive in wages $Io8,ooo a day or al
most $65o,ooo a week, when they do
not work overtime and on Sundays.
In the present rush of temporary con-
struction and the beginning of many
permanent buildings contracted for
completion within limited time,
great deal of extra money is being
made. As an example, carpenters
working on Sunday have been receiv-
ing as much as SIS day. Just al
present the full weeks earnings by
San Francisco's army of workmen is
nearer 100000.
This weekly sum will perhaps be
exceeded in the first year because Of
the vast amount of employment THAI
will be afforded in clearing the debris
from thousands of lots. When the
sites are cleared and only actual build
ing operations are under way, tho
most conservative estimate of labor,s
yearly payroll for the reconstruction
period is from $oo,ooo,ooo to $25,-
100000. If the city IS rebuilt in fva
years, of course the total annual wage
will be much greater.
A classification of the earnings OF
labor presents many interesting fea-
tures, even though it can only be OBJ

the reconstruction work There ars
many who are confident that San
Francisco will be rebuilt within FIVE
years. They do not mean by this
that the burned area will be spread
over with shacks of wood and tin, in
terspersed with an occasional sky
scraper or digni6ed brick or concrete
structure, but reconstructed perma-
nently with more substantial and
more beautiful buildings than walled
its streets before the FIRE
In such event labor would receive
about thirty-ivc millions a year.
Should such a vast sum be divided
between the thirty thousand tOilers
now hahlmering and hauling away at
the rebuilding the average income OF
each laborer would be more than $1,000
a year. Here is food for thought In
New York the average annual income
of the lawyer IS $500 Looking at it
from one angle. it might be profitable
for several thousand members of the
New York bar to cast aside their
sheepskin tones and verbose plead
ings and trek to the Pacific Coast,
where the men with the hod and the
troweI can live upon the fat OF the
land while acquiring a comfortable
nest egg for the day of rain.
In San Francisco today the mini
mum scale is universally disregarded.

Minimum

Labor statistics show that the San
Francisco workman is receiving the
highest wages paid generally any
where in the world and there is every
prospect that the high scale viii con-
tinue throughout the reconstruction
period. There were scarcely 10000
building trades union men employed
in San Francisco before April IS.
Secretary O. A. Tveitmoe OF the
Building Trades Council SAYS that
more than thirty thousand are now
engaged in the rebuilding. Fully ten
thousand workmen have been attract
ed to the city during the past three
months and as they are still coming
in. at the end Of another year fully
fifty thousand men will be sharing
the millions to be poured into the re-
construction work.
Unskilled laborers alone are now
receiving $4,000 day in San Fran
cisco.
AS far as it is possible to obtain
accurate estimates at the present time
the workmen in the building trades
at present employed are divided about
as follows: Laborers, 10000; car
penters, 10000; cement men, 100;
plumbers, 1000; hodcarriers, 1000;
electricians, 1000; painters, 500; plas.
terers, $50: masons, $50; fathers, 1901
shinglers, 80; iron workers, $50; team.
Sters, 1000.
There are many other trades not
represented in this list, such as rig.
gers, derrick men, engineers and spe-
cialists in various branches of con-
struction work.
