 i Pres. Roosevelt and Secretary Taft are giving consideration to plan for using southern negro labor in build inp the Panama Canal. The plan is advised by F. N Thompson. editor oi the -iradesman, an industrial organ in the south. The contention is that the south needs the influx of white immi- grafton. in crder that they may have competent labor, and. that if an exo- l dus of blacks to the canal zone were encouraged, both the problems ot ! building the waterway would be solved and the conditions in southern states. caused by the race issues, ameliora- lted. There seems to be class of colored people who are termed idlers- These are no good fer farm hands in the south. and these are they who they propose to put to work on the i Panama Canal contend that the law against vagrance should be more rigidly enforced everywhere.
