CANAL COMMITTEE MEETS
Chief Engineer Stevens Says
8-Hour Law Must Be
Repealed,

Washington, Jan. 16.-Chief Engineer
Stevens, in charge Of construction OF
the Panama canal, was before the SEN
ate committee on interoceanic canals
throughout the day. He gave much i'm
portant testimony in regard to the la
Dor conditions, declaring that the acts
making the eight-hour and Chinese ex-
cluSion laws applicable to the canal
zone must be repealed il the situation is
to be met economically and the canal
built within q reasonable time. The
minority report of the consulting board
of engineers regarding the type OF
canal was not received today and,
therefore Mr. Stevens will be recalled
for examination on this subject before
ne sails for the isthmus. The commit

nominations OF canal commissioners,
but there Is said to be little chance of
agreement being reached at this meet
ing to report the nominations to the
senate.
incompetent Labor.
Sanitary and labor conditions on the
isthmus were the chief subjects con-
sidered today. Mr.. Stevens described
the negro laborer from Martinique and
Jamaica as shiftless and incompetent
to such an extent that the payment of
small wage for an eight-hour day is
proving an extravaganza. He declared
that the repeal of the eight-hour law,
so far as it applies to the canal zone,
is a necessity, and that it would be
/ beneficial TO legislate so that the Chi
nese exclusion act will not apply to the
J zone. He said that such action would
in no manner injure American labor as
