Piled HEREAFTER.

Awaiting the decision of the board of edu-
cation. to which the question was reported
favorably by the committee on text books

ture will be supplied with free books.

matter will come up for final decision by
the board when the question of estimates

also be provided with books.

tons in the cooking schools was ordered to

G0MPERs BACK AT sHoNTs
Says the Chairman "Emphatically"
Told Him He Would Employ
No Chinese.

Washington, Aug. Il. - President
Gompers in an authorized statement
takes issue with Chairman Shonts, of
the isthmian canal commission, on some
of the latter's statements as to the en-
ployment of coolie labor in the con-
struction Of the Panama canal. Com
pers characteriZes as an absurity the
contention of Chairman Shonts that
the law with respect TO the exclusion
of Chinese is only applicable to terri
tory at that time subject to the author
ity of the United States, and that the
canal zone was acquired subsequent to
that date.
1nere is no such provision, says
Gompers, in the law referred to, and
he cites the various provisions of law
in this connection. Gompers declares
that neither he nor James O'COnnell.
president of the International Associa-
ton of Machinists. who visited Shonts,
were able to persuade him from his po-
sition on the eight-hour question. and
they devoted little attention to the sub
iect of chinese coolies because, he
says, Shonts emphatically declared it
was not his intention to employ them.
