Unemployed Army Grows.

A serious problem also confronts the
public of Panama because of the increas-
ing number of unemployed men.
Within the last year many thousands of
unskilled canal workers have been thrown
upon their own resources because there
was no more work for them. In almost
every case they have saved no money for
a rainy day The result has been an in
creasing amount of .awlessness running
particularly into the line Of petty bur-
glaries.
For unskilled labor there is now abso-
lutely no demand either on the isthmus.
the outlying provinces of the republic ,r
the neighboring republics of Central and
South America. The proposed govern
ment railway in the province of Chiriqis
is expected to afford some relief, but the
hope of its early start is not at all bright
here.
work in progress. Public work, with the
exception of the national exposition. prac-
tically is at a standstill. On the zone
the roads are being constructed by the
prisoners in the penitentiarS. This also
is the case in the Panama republic.
Both Panama City and Colon. the two
most important cities in the Panama re-
public, are filled with idle negroes, who
are looked upon as more or less OF
menace by the two police forces. the
Panamanian authorities say that the
problem is one for solution by the canal
government.
The question of the unemployed Ja-
maican negro is simple. When he left
his native shore to come to Panama to
work on the canal he was compelled to
deposit ST for his return passage when
his job here was done. Many of them.
however do not wish to return. for the
reason that they are now accustomed to
larger wages than they have ever been
able to earn in Jamaica. Besides they
say the island is already overpopulated.
The question of higher wages and over
population also is true of the other West
Indian islands. Then, too. there is at
present little or no demand for this class
of labor in any of the West Indies, with
the possible exception of Cuba and Porto
Rico, according to information here.
1t is anticipated that the entire ques-
ton probably will have to be submitted
to the governments OF the various coun-
tries from which these laborers came.
France to Build Legation.
The French government soon will build
and own its legation building in Panama
A large tract OF ground has been given
to France BY the Panama government.
1t is hear the University Club. on the
sea wall, and is regarded as one Of the
choicest locations IN the city. 1t over
looks the bay toward the Pacific entrance
of the canal and the several islands on
which are the many Notifications that
protect the canal entrance.
Plans for the new structure have been
prepared in Paris and are being brought
20 Panama by a supervising architect,
who will superintend the construction
work.

Union Men Employed on Work

No Employment for Them in West
Indian Islands, Whence

PANAMA, April IL, l314.-Much oppo-
sition to reduction In the wage scale
of skilled labor on the canal has arisen
since the new wage scale was prououi-
gated in conformity with an executive
order issued by President Wilson Feb
ruary ,. to become operative April l.
when the permanent government of the
Panama canal went into effect.
The skilled workers have been in
communication with the parent unions
in the United States with the result
that the metal trades department of
the American Federation of Labor has
| instructed the union on the isthmus To
begin Immediately 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 government
OF the Panama canal il is provided that
no one on the canal force shall be paid
more than 20 per cent in excess. of tho
average wage for similar work paid
| IN the United States. In conformity
With this provision Col George W.
Goethals governor of the Panama
canal. issued a circular establishing a
new wage scale. This provided for
considerable reductions all along tho
| line.
Goethals Would Continue Scale.
1t is understood here that Col. Goe-
thals personally favors the continue
ton OF the present wage scale until
the period of construction shall have
been ended IL this is done the re-
ductions will become effective gradual
ly and not until after the construction
of the canal has been fully completed.
The various labor unions represented o.
the isthmus. ii is understood have com
munlcated or will communicate with their
parent organizations with the view Of
obtaining strike sanction. 1t is not the
Immediate intention. according to labor
leaders here. to make use of the strike
weapon to force the continuation OF the
present scale. but only in an emergency
of such a character as to make its use q
necessity.
II is not anticipated that any oppos-
ton to the new wage scale will come
from the numerous clerks and other un-
organized employees on the canal force.
As yet. no active opposition has appeared
| among them. although it is said that
| many of them contemplate resigning and
returning to the states and seeking other
| employment. This class of employees in
any event will suffer considerable shrinS-
age through the gradual reduction in
force made necessary by the completion
of construction work.
