All the guns and mounts for the two

statement was made on good authority,

Of the work means much for the local

them. The news that it viii be done here

employed at the gun works.

yesterday that the matter OF the conatruc-
ton of this ordnance had not as yet been
finally decided. but that the local yard
would receive a fair share of the work

gun factory at the local navy yard will
be worked overtime in times of peace.

PERU LURES LABoRERs AWAY
Government Protests Against Dig
gers Being Taken from Isthmus.


The Peruvian government has been
causing some annoyance to the lsthmian
Canal Commission. While our agents
have been going up and down the ex-
panse of Europe urging good diggers 10
cross the Atlantic to the isthmus. Peru
was offering inducements to these labor
ers to move down the South American
coast.
This depleted the ranks Of arriving
laborers perceptibly fol time. AS the
United States pays the eost Of passage
and relies upon an agreement that each
shall reimburse the commission at the
rate of s. a month this action was b.
coming embarrassing. Protests We're
