THE PANAMA CANAL

W---THE FORCE
By Fredric J. Haskin.

Culebra. Canal Zone. July 14.-The impression one gets from a stay among the men who constitute the American contingent of the Isthmian Canal force Is that every man seems to feel him self the owner of the canal, and Is anx- ious to get the job completed as soon as possible in order that he may begin to get income from 1t instead of sui fer a perennial out-go. Every one or tho 5000 or more Americans connected with the undertaking is deadly in earn est. He is proud of the record that IS being made and seems to be imbued with the desire to have hand In the making of this record. The time Tor lDafers, time-servers. drunkards ana shirkers Is past.
 A weedlng out process has been go- ing on for a year now. The induce ments which can be held out are strong enough to attract good men. and the Commission no longer finds tself un- der the necessity Of tolerating incom- petence or indifference. The men who care more for the "cup that cheers than for the Canal soon find themselves canned" as they say on the lsthmus when a man loses his position. Now and then you see one of these. He has either lost his place or has been re- duced in position. He Is the only man on the Isthmus that has a word to say against the work. He threatens all sorts of exposures. He will tell you that he has a friend In Congress and that he is going to have an investiga- ton that will reveal shameful condi- tlons. He perhaps intends going to Peru or some other place where they pay good wages and appreciate good men--that is if he can get the passage money. But without exception 1t Is all kick because he has lost job or has been dropped to lower position.
 Everybody else Is satisfied Most or tho men in the construction work are ail old hands at the business. They have come In from everywhere. Some of them have spent years In construc- tion work In tropical countries and call themselves Tropical Tramps." But they have no aversion to hard work. Years of residence in the tropics have inured them to climatic conditions, and years of experience have taught them to care for their health. They have known conditions elsewhere and are qualified to speak. Without exception money and have every condition of con- structIon work better than anywhere else they have ever been. met a foreman of one of the big dirt yards, the one at Pedro Miguel, where they make up the dirt trains for the big dump at La Boca. He told me he had heen on construction work in the Uni- ted States. In Peru, in Bolivia, Ecuador and Brazil. and that nowhere had he been able to save as much money as on the Isthmian Canal. He said that ev- erything that men could reasonably ask was given them. heard the same thing from a hundred sources. from men who have opportunity to know. At the La Boca dumps I met several men who had been on construction work in the States for years and they, without exception. declared that conditions down here. 2,400 land miles from New York. were better than they had ever known on big construction jobs in the very heart of the States.
