This contract was awarded 20 Charles

6, 1905, and awarded to Charles speer on
an estimated basis OF S594,S25 The next

session Of the work and outfit OF Prende-
CAST & Clsrkson on the Shoshone dam one

ground that the firm had not been able

ing to carry them through the work. The
bids for the work were opened September
g. 1905, and awarded on an estimated basis
of S5l5. 80. The next lowest bid was that

CHINESE LABOR FOR CANAL
Commission Unable to Find Sufficient
workers of other Nation
aIities.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-Chinese labor
will be given a thorough test on the
Panama canal. Contracts calling for $500
Cinnamon for canal work have been pre-
pared and advertisements will be issued
by the Isthmlan Canal commission in a
few days asking for proposals from labor
agents.
II the initial $500 Cinnamon prove a sue
cess. it is likely that many more will be
taken TO the isthmus TO do the work,
which is too hard for the Jamaicans now
employed there in large numbers.
Organized labor has offered much oppo-
sitIon 10 the use of contract Chinese labor,
but the Jamaican workmen have proven
inadequate. sufficient Spaniards cannot be
had Immediately to rush the work and the
Chinese are the last hope Of the commits
sion
1t is the intention of the commission 10
ask for bids from labor agents. who will
arrange with the Chinese government for
the expectation of labor. transport the
Chinese TO the isthmus under contract TO
work for fixed wage, and ship them back
to China thus relieving the commission of
all detail work and all responsibility. A
bond VIII be required for all contractors
for satisfactory fulhllment OF any contract
they may enter into with the commission.
