CANAL WORK CRITICIZED
BY Contractor Oliver at Conference ia
New OrIeans-Resoiutions Adopt
ed at the Meeting.

At Monday nights session OF the
southern states and gulf coast Panama
canal conference in New Orleans w. j.,
Oliver, the contractor, made the fol-
lowing criticism OF the canal work:
1t is greatly to be regretted that
the administration mas decided TO
place the construction Of the rsnama
canal in the hands Of army engineers
instead OF committing its fate TO con-
tractors. no matter how capable the
army engineers may be, their training
mas not been along the lines o. ccn-
struction and direction on a large
scale. They are totally without or
ganization TO draw from and Will al
ways be wound up in costly red tape.
Army methods will not avail, for a!
civilian always has one more right
than soldier-he can quit-apd The
nigh-spirired American citizen Will GER
tainly exercise that right when ne
comes 10 face the arbitrary, dictatoriaE
methods of army regulations"
The conference at the morning ses-
sion adopted the following resolu-
tons:
l. The natural economical route Tor
a large part OF the United States Tor,
passengers and materials intended Tor
Panama is via the ports Of the GuR
OF Mexico.
2. The isthmian canal commission
has been operating what is practically
goyernment-owned steamship ser2
vice from New York to Havana, and
this exclusive service via New York
| places the industries of the South,
the gulf states, the Mississippi, Ohio.
Missouri, Alabama and Georgia val
leys and contiguous territory at a pro-
hi5itlye disadvantage.
). The southern states and guilt
coast Panama conference represents
to President Roosevelt that at least
two of the governments steamships
should be operated cut OF a gulf port.
| because OF its closer proximity, By
some 600 miles, to Colon Than New.
York
4. We strongly protest against the
Determinations of the purchasing de-;
partment of the Panama Railroad
Steamship line, whereby the large ma
iority OF orders are confined to the.
eastern states. We see in this virtual
monopoly of the present canal trade
the gravesu danger to the future pros
perity of sections Of the United
States, particularly the southern and
gulf coast states, as the persistent di-a
version of trade to eastern ports Will
have the certain tendency to establish
and maintain a channel OF commerce.
in that direction from and through
| the Panama canal when it shall have
been completed, thereby cutting on
the natural ports from successful CONF
petition.
The resolutions concluded by peh-
tioning, President Roosevelt TOR the;
government controlled lips and also
TO investigate the reason why the
preponderance of purchases for ac-l
count OF the Panama steamship Line
are made in the eastern states.
