LABOR TROUBLES

Much Opposition Develops on
Reductions in the Wage Scale

to reductions I'm the wage scale OF
skilled labor On the canal has arisen
since the new wage scale was pro
tive order issued by President Wilson

April 1, when the government OF the
Panama canal went into effect
The skilled workers have been in

in the United States with the result
that the metal trades department OF the
American Federation of Labor has In
structed the unions on the isthmus TO
| Immediately begin the formation OF a
metal trades council in Panama. Sew
eral meetings already have been held
at which strong opposition to any
wage reduction was voiced.
Under the terms of the Adamson
act establishing the permanent gov
eminent of the Panama canal it is pro-
vided that no one on the canal force
shall be paid more than % per cent in
excess of the average wage for sim

establishing a new wage scale. This
provided for considerable reductions
all along the line.
1T is understood here that Colonel
Goethals personally favors the con-
tinuation of the present wage scale
until the period of construction shall
have been ended. If this is done the
reductions will become effective grad
ually and not until after the construc-
ton OF the canal has been fully COM
pleted.

It is not anticipated that any oppo- /

from the numerous clerks and other
