dynamite were used per month, and to
make the dirt fly to this extent thir-
ty-two nine ty-five ton steam shovels,
thirty-seven seventy ton, ten forty-five
ton and twenty-four others, were in
constant use.
"A total of 4,146 cars and 302 loco
motives moved this mass to the
dumps A fleet of Is barges, Is dred
ges and 81 other vessels were at work
in the dredging service. On April 80
last, 26,11 men were actually at work
for the Isthmian canal commission
and 1915 at work for the Panama rail-
road-a total of 33.193.'
In speaking of the morale OF the
service the report says:
From the outset we were strongly
impressed by the spirit of good will
and loyalty of the employees inspired
through the accessibility of the chief
engineer, Colonel George Goethals, to
all compliments, and his prompt in
|vestigation in person or by deputy of
all complaints made"
Urges Wage Revision.
A revision of the wage schedule
would work to advantage, the COM
mission finds. The report deals with
this subject as follows:
The wage schedule should be
simplified, the grades reduced in num-
Der and the same pay and hours re-
quired for similar service for the Is
thmian canal commission and the
Panama railroad. Much cause for ex-
listing complaints would be eliminated
by the above mentioned changes"
The commission dwells at length on
the difficulty of holding skilled work
ingmen at the isthmus and says that
higher than the wages paid on build
ing construction work in the city of
| New York. 1t recommends that no re-
| auctions be made.
Regarding the number of hours the
| employees should be asked to work.
the report says:
1T is proper to record that we found
the eight-hour law faithfully enforced
| in the entire service of the Isthmian
| canal commission"
As to investigating and disposing of
| complaints with the workmen, ETC.,
the commission reports:
| A labor secretary to the commits
sion should be appointed, whose duty
IL shall be to investigate complaints
in relation to conditions of employ
ment, subsistence and accommodate
tons, and to report thereupon to the
chairman OF the commission.
