COCKTAILS PROPOSED REFORM
FOREIGN woRKMEN ON CANAL
WILL HAVE TO EARN PAY.
Those Who Are inefficient Will Be
Dismissed-on Same Footing as
the Americans.

With view of ending the inefficiency
and practical INSTRUMENTATION among the
Spanish, Italian and Greek laborers on
the isthmian canal. Chairman Goethals
has determined to revolutionize the sys-
tenn under which European labor is en-
consuls from these countries that he in
tends to place the laborers from their
respective countries on the same footing
as Americans who labor on the canal.
On account of the contractual obliga-
tions recognized by the canal commission
in importing European laborers they have
been permitted hitherto to retain their
special checks. which entitled them to
receive 20 cents an hour, American cur
rency. even though their services were
unsatisfactory. This has resulted in the
European laborers deliberately reducing
the output of their work to such an ex-
tent that all the superintendents and
foremen are unanimously of the opinion
that the efficiency of contract labor is
much less than year ago. In addition
several instances verging on insubordina-
tion have resulted from the leniency, the
Europeans being relieved of fear of dis
missal.
Col. Goethals has announced that hence
forth European contract iaborers will
have their special contracts revoked. just
as Americans. in case their services are
unsatisfactory.
In such event they may be re-employ ed
at wages commensurate with the services
rendered, or may be denied work en-
tirely.
