Thinks ShOnts Has Violated Pledged Word
TO USE THEM IS ILLEGAL
shonts Says Negroes Cannot Stand the Work, There Are Not Enough Spaniards and chinse Sim
 ply Have to Be Used.

Washington, August n.-(special,)- President Samuel Gompers of the Amer ican Federation of Labor, today con demned the proposed importation of Chi nese coolies for work on the Panama ca nal. He also charged Chairman Shonts of the canal commission, with bad faith, saying that the canal chairman had promised him that eoolcs would not be brought into the canal zone. President Gompers would not say whether tho ne- ton of the canal commission would in- cite the federation to renewed pJntical activity in order to prevent the lmporta- ton of coolies. He restricted himself to the following prepared statement:
 Tt seems that those In charge of the Panama canal construction have regard for neither law nor principle. First. In the most extraordinary manner, the eight hour law is annulled on the greatest pub lie work ever undertaken by the govern ment under the pretense that conditions there are different than they are in the United States.

Negroes Very Unsatisfactory

New York, August 1l.--Chairman Shonts said today that the West Indian negroes had been very unsatisfactory as laborers on the canal adding:
 we can only get a 60 per cent efficiency out of the negro workmen.
 "A man has already been sent to Spain to secure Spanish labor. We want to get from Spain about co men month to make up the loss in the working force, and to bring the force up. We want the steady laborers from the north of Spain and we expect to get them.
 ''Within d very few weeks advertise ments will be published calling for 25CO Chinese laborers. The commissioners are in favor of this class of labor and the present case will be in the nature Of an experiment. But 1t Is possible that large force of Chinese will be at work on the sthmus. The work of preparing the con- tract will be slow, for we must comply with the law. The contracts there must bear no appearance of involuntary servi- tude the local laws must all be com- piled with and the treaty regulations must be obeyed.
 'Chief Engineer Stevens and I have handled Chinese labor and we find them all right They do the work and that is the principal object. We aim to get the strong, husky laborers from the rice fields of southern China. The importation of Chinese labor does not come under the contract laws
 MT Shonts said that he may see the President at Oyster Bay.
 Shonts Answers Gompers.
 MT. Shonts tonight gave out the follow ing statement in answer to one issued in Washington by President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor;
 'The eight-hour law does not apply to unskilled labor on the isthmus of Pan anna The entire present unskilled labor force ls alien; we cannot secure this class of unskilled labor from the United States. It Is therefore not seen why a law passed in the interest of American labor at home should be made applicable to alien labor, which probably never heard of Its exis- tence It's application would have in- creased the labor cost of the canal sev- erai million dollars. The American la borer in this country would have to pay his share of the consequent increase In the taxation without any compensation or benefit to himself
 "At the time of my interview with Mir. 6sompers In discussing the elght-hour law aside from what I have already said, I stated that my understanding for the reason of the enactment of the eight hour law in this country was primarily to give to the highest type of labor in the world longer hours for mental recre- aton and improvement: but that with the lowest class of labor. as ct Panama. 1t was more helpful and improving, more in their interest and more an net of kindness than otherwise to permit them to work ten hours q day and pay them for it. because they are paid by the hour.'

Outrageous and Brutal.

T must appeal to the veriest tyro that
 Tt must appeal to the veriest tyro that in the comparatively temperate zone of the United States, certainly ten, eleven and even more hours of labor a day in the pestilential and miasmatic atmosphere of the Panama zone are not only im- proper but outrageous and brutal
 The existing law excludes Chinese la borers and coolies from the United States or any of Its possessions. The Panama canal zone Is an American possession and 1t Is as much violation of the law to bring Chinese cooles there as it Is In other portions of our country.
 Some time ago, in an interview l had with Chairman Shonts l protested against the employment of Chinese coolles in tho Panama canal construction as it had been published in the newspapers that it WAS the intention of Mr. Shonts to do so. He there and then emphatically stated that 1t was not the intenlon then to employ Chinese coolles and they would not be employed under his administrations
