Shonts Makes Answer.

Mr.. Shonts tonight gave out in New
York the following statement with re-
gard TO a statement issued In Wash
iDgton by President Gompers OF the
American Federation OF Labor:
The eight-hour law does not apply 10
unskllled labor on the IsLhnus OF Pana-
ma. The entire present unskilled Ia
Dor force is allen. We cannot secure this
class OF unsEilled labor from the United
States, il is therefore not not seen why
a law passed iu the Interest OF American
labor al home should be made applicable
TO alien labor who probably never
heard OF It's existence. It's application
would have increased the labor cost OF
the canal several million dollars The
American laborer In this country would
have 10 pay his share Of the consequent
Increased taxation. without any compen-
sating benefit TO himself
Al the time of my interview with Mr.
Gompers. in discussing the eight hour
law, aside from what ] have already said,
1 stated that my understanding of ;he
reason for the enactment OF the eight
hour law In this country was primarily
10 give TO the highest type OF labor in
the world longer hours for mental recre-
alton and Improvement. But with the
lowest class of labor. as 1T Panama IL
was more an act OF kindness than other
wise. TO permit them 10 work ten hours
Il uay ana pay LEcm Tor i-bScauSe they
are paid by the hour AS to the state
ment Of Mr.. Gompers that the existing
law excludes Chinese laborers and coolies
from the United States or any OF its pos
sessions, that the Panama canal zone is
an American possession, and that it Is
as much violation of the law TO BRING
Chinese coolies there as IL is ia other
portions OF our country. | can only saw
that the commission has secured the
opinion ot the highest legal authorities of
the Government. IL has been held that
such law does not apply TO the canal
zone. The law excluding Chinese from
the United States and Its possessions
was passed In Marcu. 1903, and spe-
cifcally set forth that such laws should
only he applicable TO territory at that
time subject to the authorities OF the
United States. The canal zone was ac-
CURED subsequent TO that date ana Con-
gress has not extended its provision so
as TO embrace the canal zone.
The canal must be dug and tho first
requisite is TO have labor TO dig st. We
don't believe II wise or economical TO
depend only on the West Indian negroes
We cannot secure the unskillcd labor in
sufficient volume from the United States.
II Is therefore not In competition to our
own labor, and any agreement entered
into Will provide for the return of
Chinese direct TO China upon the COM
pletlon of service on the canal work.

views as 10 labor on tho isthmus, both
with respect TO the possibility OF the fu-
ture employment OF Chinese and other

Summer Board on the Farm.

The days work was done, and Farmer
Fodder sat on his front porch after sup

Maria" he said TO her, musingly,
what's the outlook for summer board
ers?"
Never better, Henry" she responded,
chcerfully. Every room is taken by nice
city people who love the simple life OF
the farm and want their victuals right
out OF the ground"
"But the garden amt shown up very
sprightly. I noticed today. Maria" he
said in a doubtful tone.
"Why, Henry laughed Mrs. F., "how
rural you talk, Now that we have tho
telephone we can order what we need
right from the city market, and tho
freight car on the trolley line lands 1t
at our back lot"
What about eggs? We've only got
dozen hens" he queried further.
That's plenty for our own use, Henry.
The boarders can eat storage eggs-nice
and fresh, just out OF the warehouse.

we can have all we want and whenever
we want them"
How about the milk? Is old Brindle
equal TO a houseful OF people?"
"Shes most dry now Mrs. Il. admit
Ieur DUt L guess Sic IL give enough
us. AS for the others, six neghbors
of us have combined and we'll take a
certain number OF cans from the early
milk train
THAT one that comes by before any
of the boarders get up?" inquired Mr..
Fodder family.
Mrs. r. blushed q little and nodded
Hadn't l better clean out the well?"
he ventured.
Not unless you want to, Henry. Mr..
jenkins told me the Rural Water Supply
company would have q hydrant In our
back yard inside OF two weeks"
Maybe the boarders won't like what
we give EN-. Maria" said the farmer
tentatively and In some trepidation.

They won't know the difference. Reol
milk would make them sick TO the stom-
ach and fresh egg would seem SO weak
to them they'd think something was the
matter with 1t. You don't know city peo-
pile like 1 do, Henry
Farmer Fodder gave two or three hard
puffs on his corn-cob.
Maria" he said, softly, 'you ought to
go to Chicago and start a meat -of-all-
kinds for family-use factory"
"If 1 did. Henry" she replied, shipping

made from corn ground with stones into
a coarse meal, mixed with water and
salt, wrapped in green husks aud
cooked in the ashes.
Often the Indians were like a
group of children. Jokes passed back
and forth and every one laughed be-

Rain. Air Purifier.

An Englishman named John Aiken has
for many years made study or the
solid impurities found In the atmosphere.
He invented apparatus for counting tho
number OF dust PARTICLES In a cubic inch
OF air thus making il possible TO lnsti-
tute comparisons between the condition
OF air at various elevations and in
single place At different times. While he
was making some meteorological obser-
vntions with his dust counter on the
Eiffel tower AT Paris, recently, heavy
thunder shower occurred Before the
rain the number OF dust PARTICLES was
large and showed that the impure air Of
the city came up in great quantities TO
the top OF the tower. After the shower
the number OF dust particles was so far
reduced that the air finally became as free
from dust rs any that Mr.. Aiken ever
tested on the mountain tops OF Switzer-
land, This increase In purity is as
cribod to the dragging down OF the
upper air to the level OF tho top OF the
Eiffel tower. for the reason that rain
caunot wash the air to anything ike
that purity
