THE PANAMA CANAL.
VII-THE NEGRO'S PART.
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

: The West Indian negro has an i'm
portant part in the building Of the Pan
ANA canal. Notwithstanding his short
comings, he has furnished the bulk of the
unskilled labor that has made the sue
cess Of the undertaking a certainty, and
he is entitled to his full need of praise.
In the beginning the West Indian negro
had q bad reputation. 1t was said that
he lacked physical strength, that he had
little or no pluck. that he was absolutely
unreliable. and that the canal never could
be finished If he was expected to supply
the greater part Of the labor.
; But he has lived down this bad reputa-
ton, in large part, and although it must
be admitted that he is shiftless. incon-
stant and exasperating, he has developed
into q good workman, and has played a
big part In the success Of the canal
project.
. The government pays the West Indian
laborer on the canal 80 cents day, fur
nishes him with free lodgings in quar-
ters. and sells him three square meals q
day for 10 cents each, total OF 30 cents
day for the actual expenses of living.
On the remainder Of go cents q day the

for the freedom OF the tropic world. At
first the canal commission was inclined
tos resist the West Indians entreaties.
The authorities believed that no ill-fed
workman could do as much work as
well-fed one, and no bush" dweiler ever
was known to be well fed. But 1t was
demonstrated that the negro in the sani-i
tary quarters succumbed to homesickness
and threw up his job. Then the commits
sion reached the conclusion that stable
force would be more easily obtained by
permitting the wOrkmen to live in their
own way. Permission was given, and
many OF the laborers exchanged the sani-
tary restrictions Of the commission quar-
ters for the dolce far niente of the
bush
Marriage bonds are loose In the West
Indies, and 1t might be saying too much
to say that the laborers brought their
wives to the Canal Zone. but nevertheless
they did build thatched huts all along
the sides of the canal and establish their
kSse~s

and consequently they all have an erect

very antithesis of the slouchy and SLOW

the thirty thousand negroes brought to

twenty thousand came from Barbados,
not quite six thousand from Jamaica and
the remainder from other islands of the
Caribbean. Yet the proportion Of Ja-
maicans at work on the canal is much
greater than Is indicated by the figures.
In fact. the inducement OF high wages
and the low cost OF steerage passage
from Jamaica to the Canal Zone have at
tracted so many thousands Of Jamaicans
that the canal commission now is justi-
fled in withdrawing its recruiting ofiicers.
The excess OF arrivals over departures to
the zone last year was 1000, and
very large percentage Of them were from
Jamaica. The problem of labor supply
has been solved in a natural way.
