DIRECT VIOLATION OF LAW
GOMPERS CRiTiCISES ACTION OF
CANAL OFFICIALS REGARD.
ING cOOLiE LABOR.

Washington, Aug. 13.-Samuel Com
pers, president OF the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, has issued a state
ment concerning the action OF the
isthmian canal commission In deciding
to introduce Chinese coolie labor to
the work Of constructing the canal
across the isthmus of Panama. The
statement Is as follows:
ut seems that those In charge Of
the Panama canal construction have
regard for neither lew nor principle.
First, In the most extraordinary man
ner, the eight-hour law Is annulled In
the greatest public work ever under
taken by the government under the
pretense that conditions there are diff
ferent than they are In the United
States. 1t must appeal to the veriest
tyro that IL eight hours work is re-
garded as sufficient In the compare
lively temperate zone OF the United
States certainly ten, eleven and even
more hours of labor day In the pes
tilential and miasmatic atmosphere OF
the canal zone are not only improper
but outrageous and brutal.
"The existing law excludes Chinese
laborers and coolies from the United
States or any OF its possessions. The
Panama canal zone Is an American
possession and 1t is as much viola
ton of the law to bring coolies there

the bullets came were marched back
to their quarters and an investigation
was begun In the hope of ascertaining
from the barrels of the rifles which
OF the soldiers fred ball cartridges.
Several arrests are understood to have
been made.
Plot Of Guardsmen Suspected.
One OF the grand dukes aides-de-
camp advances the theory that pos
sibly the bullets were fred by acci-
dent, but he considers that beyond a
doubt there was a plot on the part of
q number of disloyal guardsmen, who
deliberately planned to take the grand
dukes life under cover of the general
blank cartridge firing.
The bold attempt on the grand
DUKES life caused an immediate
change In the plans Of the emperor.
who had arranged to 60 to Krasnoye-
sslo and spend week with the SOL
diers Of his imperial guards.
It was learned that the troops were
IN extended order and engaged in vol
ley firing when the accident" oc-
ourred. rendering 1t difficult to deter
mine the regiment from which the
bullets came. The grand duke, sur
rounded by officers and aides-de-camp,
war OFF on one side, out of the line of
the fire.
The affair has created a deep I'M
preston In military circles and is the
ono topic Of conversation In the clubs,
but the attempt on the grand dukes
life Is not generally known here. no
word on the subject having been pub
llshed In the newspapers.
Afterwards 1t was definitely estab-
lished that the shots were fired by the
First battalion Of the sharpshooters
OF the guard. who advanced In rushes,
while making a sham attack on an
entrenched position. Fully 100 shots
were fired, but the impatience OF the
conspirators led them to open fire at
such a distance AS to frustrate their
object.
