PUSHES
CANAL WORK
NEW WAGE SCALE BECOMES
OPERATIVE IN PANAMA
ZONE

Panama. April lS-~Much opposition
to reductions in the Wage scale o
skilled labor on the canal has arisen
since the new wage scale was pronu
gated in conformity with an executive
order issued by President Wilson on
February ,, to become operative on
April t. when the permanent govern
ment 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 unions on the lsthmus
to Immediately begin the formation
of Martial Trades Council in Pana-
ma Several 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 govern
ment 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
similar work paid in the United States
In confirmity with this provision Col.
George W. Goethals, governor OF the
Panama Canal, issued circular es-
tablishing new wage scale. This
provided for considerable reductions
all along the line.
1t is understood here that Cot
Goethals personally fayors the con
tinuation of the present wage scale
until the period OF construction snail
have been ended If this is done the
reduction will become effective grad
ualy and not until after the construc-
ton Of the canal has been fully com
pleted.
The various labor unions represent
ed on the sthmus, it is understood,
have communicated or will communi-
cate with their parent organizations
with HE view of obtaining strike
sanction. II is not the immediate in
tention, according to labor leaders
here, to make use of the strike weap-
on to force the continuation OF the
present scale, but only in an emer-
gency OF such a character as to make
its use a necessity
1t is not anticipated that any op-
position to the new wage scale VIII
come from the numerous clerks ana
other unorganzed employees on the
canal force. As yet no active opposl- |
tion has appeared among them al
though it is said that many OF them |
resgning and returning |
to the states and seeking other en-
nloyment. This class OF employe In |
anv event will suffer considerable
shrinkage through the gradual reduc-
tiop in force made necessary by the
of construction work.
