LABOR ON PANAMA CANAL.
One Of the Problems That IL Dihicuit
Of solution.
trrom the Philadelphia Press.)

Orrom the Philadelphia Press)
Secretary Taft does not exaggerate the
great difficulty Of the problem presented
by the supply OF 10000 laborsts on the
Panama canal.
II is not possible to overlook the ncoes-
sary relation which this labor should bear
both to American traditions and the re-
gions around the Panama canal. Chinese
cooie labor under contract is necessaril7
slave labor. 1t breeds trouble whcrevsc
il goes IT is leading to scandals In the
Transvaal. and has been followed by
reduction in the amount Of white labor
employed, as well as in the general level
of wages. II it is employed on the canal
| 1t will bring stupendous scandals. No
vigilance, no legislation, and no inten-
tions, however praiseworthy, can prevent
| them
| The canal is at the center OF a great
reservoir of negro. Spanish American. and
Spanish-Indian labor in the islands and
coast around the Gulf of Caribbean. ia
maica was transformed in the ownership
OF small homes through tho enormous in
crease in these holdings from negroes
who worked under the French company
on the Panama canal and brought back
l
its population. and its trade were all i'm
proved. and the United States has profit
ed in cheap fruit supply
If the canal draws it's labor from this
and the other islands of the Greater and
Lesser Antilles and the Spanish-Amcri
can coast about, the wages spend in build
ling the canal will transform the entire
region. The labor that comes from them
will find it is under American conditions
driven by American contractors. learning
new lessons in industry. supplied witt
food on n new scale, paid wages before
unknown. and gradually disciplined to
higher industrial level.
At the beginning the effort to secure
sanitation, regularly and industry. fui

general organization OF life on the 18TH
mus. will be made more difficult than /
gangs OF Chinese labor are brought int

this is done the lash is certain to appear
as it has in the Transvaal.
If instead the United states follows tn
sound American principle of looking on !
as good business to treat free labor witt
fair wages. convinced that men under al
skies respond to the same stimulus
fair play fair treatment and free con
tract, the sure result will be that the re
generation of the region about the canal
with its . coo. 900 square miles and 3oouo, M
population. will be begun.
In this. as in all things. the Unite
, States cannot be false to its long tradl
tior Of industrial freedom.

NATURAL HEALTH RESORT.

During two centuries the mineral waters
Of the isle have had widespread reputa-
ton for curative properties, especially in
kidney ANA rheumatic troubles. Near the
town of Santa Fe are thermal springs Of
blood heat; baths are maintained. Nucva
Corona has mangnesian springs, cee-
brated for their efficiency in stomach
troubles.
Such is the variety Of climate ana diff
ference in elevations that the fruit and
vegetables of both the tropical and tenn
pcrate zones are grown.

hles are Of both coarse and fine grain,
lying in veins from to - feet thick. In
various parts of the island is found man

ing OF unknown depth. In tho Siguanca
hills, near the southwest coast. are veins
of pure brown hematitc. None of the min

poses. The northern beaches of the island
are Of sharp white quartz sand. The ter
races about Nueva Corona are covered
with red and gray sandy clay. from which
brick and tiles are made. The valleys OF
the isle arc said to be as well adapted t.
