The organization of the canal force was
not an easy one When we took hold,
Panama had a bad name and 1t was diff
total force was $500, Of whom only 600
were Americans. We had considerable
sickness and this force was not perIna-
nent. although 1t steadily grew in num-
bers. 1t was made up largely OF men
who would stay only a few months and
then go away. Nevertheless, 1t steadily
grew. We found large amount Of re-
cruiting was necessary, and within the
silver men. OF these more than 11.OOO
came from Europe. about 1900 from
Barbados and the balance from the
other islands Of the West indies and Co
lombia.
I've had labor agents at Paris who did
the recruiting from Spain, getting about
900 laborers at a time and sending them
over. We had to advance the money,
and 1t actually cost US $40 per man for
every spaniard. although that sum was
returned to the government in the first
TWO wage payments.
1T cost us $72O per head for tha
laborers from the West Indies. This
sum was not paid back but was charged
70 the expense account. When I ar
rived here in 1908 We still had recruiting
agencies in Barbados, Trinidad, France
ana the United States. But we need
nothing of this character now. Indeed.
we are offered more labor than we can
use and we are sending men back home
rather than bringing them here
How about Central and South Ameri-
ca! Have those countries furnished
much labor to the canal?" 1 asked.
NO" replied Col Devol. I'VE recently
brought in forty or fifty Peruvians and
paid them 20 cents an hour. But as a
rule our labor has come from the sources
I have mentioned"
Here the question arose as to the eff
cheney of European cheap labor in COM
par1son with the West Indian labor, and
Col Devol said:
I'VE are. you know, paying the Span
iards more than the West Indians. We
fixed the wages at the beginning Of the
work. estimating the Spanish labor as
worth two and a half times that of the
jamaican. We then established a rate
OF 20 cents gold per hour for the Span
iards. and 10 cents per hour for the
Jamaicans. AS the work has progressed
the most of the men on the canal believe
that the Spaniard has only stood pat,
while the negro has steadily gained in
efficiency, and 1t is my own belief that the
negro Is now about as good as the Span
lard. although he still receives less
pay. Indeed, my respect for this negro
labor has risen during every year
OF my stay. The West Indians are teach
able and anxious to learn. / use many
OF them as mule drivers. and although
they were at first very poor. they are

and everybody except that done by the

Col. Devol tells me that the labor prob
lem has been one of the most difficult OF
any connected with the canal, and that
1t has worried every company which has
done business down here on the isthmus.
When the Panama railroad was first
built the contractors sent to China for
laborers, and they died like flies. Later
on so many other workmen were buried
that it is said the road cost a man Tor
every tie laid in its tracks. The first
French canal company scratched the
world to find diggers. and they buried
large part of those whom they found.
The men would not stay and they were
always recruiting. Uncle Sam has had
good labor ever since he began MS con-
struction and the job has become so pop
ular, that he can now have all the men
he needs without advertising. During the
past four years the average number en-
ployed has been 81, 600 although at times
it has run as high as $4,000 and more
This is an enormous force to be used in
any undertaking outside those connected
