The white men and the Aemriean negroes employ ed on the canal will do from two to five times as much work as the Ja- maican negroes, and are paid twice as much, the whites receiving from SLIGO gold to $2.25 pr day gold. Other laborers receive half that amount.
 Enthusiasm among the W0filmen is universal. The organization is perfected chiefly by Stevens is thor ough, and is being maintained by his successor. The speaker paid q tribute to Stevens and to Gorgas, whom he designated as master spir- it's.

 Actual work has been progressing for four months as rapidly as any one can desire. They are now cut ting at Culebras more than 30,00O cubic yards of dirt and rock per day, and at the present rate the canal will be completed within six or seven years, although difficulties may arise to delay it's completion. The speaker further said that, in his opinion, three commissioners could administer the affairs of the canal as we'll as seven, and that the number ought to be reduced to three.

Joe I. Robinson Tells of Canal Work
 In Address at Dewift.-- --Visited Isthmus

At Dewitt, Arkansas county, re- gently Hon. Joe r. Robinson of I.o- nokp, Ark, member of Congress from this district. and of the con- sfessional party which recently vis- lted 1he i&thmus, delivered all ad- dress in the court house at this place on the History and Progress of the Construction of the Panama Canal.
 The speaker said that the build- ing of the canal was the greatest work known to the modern world, because of it's importance to com- merce and it's magnitude. When completed the canal will be 41 miles long and 200 feet wide at the bottom in the larrowest place, and would float the largest battle ships.
 The speaker asserted that the Americans have already overcome the danger from disease and by a thorough system of sanitation have made the canal zone a healthy To- cality. The yellow fever mosquito has been entirely exterminated Since the treaty of February, 1904 by which the Americans acquired lO-nlile strip across the isthmus, the sanitary department has pro- v1ded pure filtered water for the zone and for the cities of Colon and Panama
 A Cause of General Complaint.
 The one general ground of com plaint in the administration of af- fairs in the canal zone is the com missary department. which does not furnish wholesome food to the laborers. He stated that an inves- tigation ought to be made of this department, and while the govern ment is protecting the workmen from yellow fever it ought also to protect them from poisonous and impure food. Jackson Smith, who has seen service in Ecuador, Mexi- co and Jamaica, and has experience ed severe diSapproyal in those places, has charge of this depart ment, and the speaker said that he has with him some of the same en- ployes who followed him through those countries.

 , "The increases granted in the ,, agreement are to apply also to rates for special services as specified ill the individual schedule. Upon roads having a better basis for a days work or for payment of overtime or other allowances, in all branches of train service, the ac- ceptance of this agreement is not to act as reduction"
 In the letter to the general mana gers and the chiefs of the two or ganiZations, Commissioners Neill and Knapp paid high compliment to the spirit of fairness in which the differences between the railroads and their employees had been treated on both sides.
 The Brotherhood of Locomotive Firmen were also granted today an increase of 10 per cent There will be a meeting tomorrow between the employees committee and the managers committee to complete a settlement of the details It is estimated by the railroads that the settlement increases the cost of operation about $6,500,Oo0 per year for the roads involved

Railroads and Trainmen Agree;
 Threatened Railroad Strike Is Averfed

Chicago, April 6.-The differences between the Western railroads and the members of the Order of Con- ductors and the Brotherhood of Rail- way Trainmen have been final}$ adjusted. The men abandoned their demand for d nine-hour Work-daE and the railroads made an advance on their previous propositions ill the pay of baggagemen. flagmen and barkemen of $1.5o per month. The original demands of the men were for an increase of r per cent and for a working day of nine hours. The managers offered an increase in pay of 10 per cent and declined to grant the nine-hour day.
 Tn agreement was reached main ly through the efforts of Chairman Knapp of the interstate commerce commission and Mr. Neil of the de- partment of commerce and labor. They formulated the final proposition on which both sides were brought together, and the final adjustment was chiefly due to their labors
 Teh new agreement. which goes into effect April 1 of this year, is as follows:
 ''The pay of conductors in the pas senger service to be increased S19 per month, that of baggagemen $7.50 and that of baggagemen and brake men $6.50 per month, as applied to the schedules in effect November 1, 1906. The railroads are not to make any reduction in crews or in crease in mileage for the purpose of offsetting the increased wages given l the passenger trainmen.
 Schedule for Overtime.
 Overtime in the passenger service to be allowed On the basis of 15 miles per hour to be computed for each part of the run separately. Time to begin at the scheduled time of leaving of the trains, or, if the men are called, at the time they are called to leave, the end to come when they are relieved for the train
 "The overtime rate to be 35 cents an hour for Conductors. 23 cents an hour for baggagemen, fagmen and brakemen. Thirty minutes or less is not to be counted, over 30 minutes to count one hour The pay of con- ductors and brakemen in through and irregular freights, local freights and mixed train service to be 10 per cent over the rates of pay in effect November 1, 1906."

SPECIAL COUNCIL
MEETING CALLED

Mayor Mccarthy has called a special
meeting of the city council for next FRI
day afternoon for the purpose OF deciding
whether OF not an appropriation will be
made for the old Home Week celebra-
tion.
A request for an appropriation of $4,000
for the celebration was received by the
city council at a meeting several months
ago. IL was referred to the city council
committee on finance with a request for
n report
Tho city council at It's meeting last
month adjourned until September. The
committee on finance failed 10 make a
report upon the request. Nothing was
heard from the committee until nearly
two months ago. when an interview with
Alderman william X. Reynolds. "A member
OF the finance committee. was published

that the committee would not recommend
the appropriation, as there was not

The finance committees failure to re-
port back on the request for the $4,000
is regarded as an insult 20 the mayoH
and the Old Home Weeks executive
committee. IL has caused much discussion
and the finance committee has been Bit
terly condemned.
The committee consists of Councilman
Edward u. Pearce. chairman; Council
men James A. Potter. Jr., ]. William
Moore and Henry A. Grimwood and Al
derman William X. Reynolds.
IL was the general opinion at the city
hall today that some way OF getting
money for the appropriation would be
found before the meeting Friday and that
the 10000 will be given. 1t is also thought
that the mayor has already thought OF a
plan to get II.
The appropriation Is desired FOR sever
al reasons. The most important Is that II
would be an official endorsement of the
celebration and this will have a tendency
10 bring In more subscriptions from busi-
ness houses and the citizens. IL would al
so be OF great financial assistance TO tho
executive committee and result In the
celebration being much better one.
