LABOR IN THE CANAL ZONE
EUROPEAN IMMIGRATION AGENT
SAYS COMPLAINTS ARE BAsELEss
Spanish Importations Have Been Well
Treated and Arc Satisfied
With Conditions

PARIS. October 2-Leroy Park. general
European immigration agent OF the
sthmlan canal commission. expresses sur
prise at the recent charges OF the Span
ish government that Spanish laborers who
have gone to Panama were grossly de-
ceived and maltreated. Mr. Park says
he knows Of no complaints. On the con-
trary. he has offfcial report from the
Spanish consul at Panama showing that
the latter personally investigated condi-
lions there and found the quarters OF the
laborers healthful and well cared for, and
the laborers themselves contented. Many
OF the men are sending for their families
and applicants. acting upon the advice
of acquantances already there, desire to
take their families with them
mo liberal Spanish government which
preceded the present Maura cabinet was
not ave-se to immigration, according to
Mr.. Park. 1t believed that much of the
present industrial development In Galicia
and northern Spain was directly attribute
Die to the money sent back to Spain by
emigrants to North and South America,
and, taking q leaf out of the experience OF
Italy was rather inclined to encourage
emigration.
OF all the Europeans Mr.. Park regards
the Spaniard as pre-emine ntly fitted for
work on the canal. He endures the cll-
mate. Is sober. Industrious and frugal.
Already has competition with the jamaican
negroes increased the effectiveness OF the
latter 20 per cent. For employers IN the
United States desiring men for heavy
work. like handling stone. bridges and
building material generally. Mr.. Park con-
siders the Spaniard unexcelled Many
Spanish masons have recently gone to San
Francisco and more are wanted Speaking
generally Of the qualifications OF European
immigrants Mr.. Park considers the Aus
TRANS and Italians best fitted for railroad
construction, and southern Russia should
AFFORD the best European supply for Ameri-
can agricultural labor, as. the Russians
would emfgrate with their families and
become small farmers. As q result OF his
investigation. however, Mr.. Park finds that
ell European countries are making I'D tha
drain upon their labor supply, caused by
the better wages and prospects In the two
Americas and the governments generally
are devising means to restrict the de-
parture of desirable subjects.
Emigration of laborers from Germany,
Mr.. Park pointed out. had practically
ceased. owing to the wonderful develop
mept OF that country in recent years and
the German who now goes abroad to seek
his fortune, Is OF the commercial class,
usually the represen tative Of home indus
try.
Mr.. Park adds that the number Of
canal laborers has been brought to about
$1,000 and that the shipments from Eu-
rope have been reduced to about
1.50O monthly. With the advent Of the dry
season in December. however, he expects
the number will again be Increased to
about 5000 a month.
