CANAL EMPLOYEES
ARE BEING LAID OFF

Panama, Nov. 2i.-Owing TO the
tying up of the Panama Canal by the
recent slide. many employees. mainly
in the operating divisions, are being
furloughed or given vacations. which
is taken here to indicate that the
canal will remain closed for . much
longer time than WAS first expected.
In most cases employees are being
dismissed.
II has been learned that 1t Is the
intention of Maj. Gen. George W.
Goethals to force q temporary chan
mel through the slide as quickly as
possible and pass through the water
way a few ships which have been
waiting since the canal closed. and
then again shut of trafiic through the
canal until all danger Of slides has
been definitely ended. This probably
will be not less than six months, &C
cording to the best available esti-
mates.
The condition at the slide remains
virtually unchanged, though slight
gains are now being made by the
dredges.
