Canal ZoHe Employees Send
Protest 10 President Wilson

Government employees of the Canal
Zone, some of whom are from Della
ware, feel that they are not being
treated right. Some of them have
joined in the following letter OF pro-
test to President Wilson:
'Ancon, c. L., February 4, 1915.
"The President of the United States,
1.-THE White House.
Washington. ID. c.
mir. President: You have signed
an order reducing the wages Of the
Panama Canal employees by exacting
payment for privileges heretofore al
lowed by the government as part Of
their compensation; the principal item
being the charge of rental of quar-
ters.
I'VE realize the fact that on the
face Of the matter il would appear not
unjust to ask us to pay rent, but there
are facts which in our opinion make
the issuance OF this order appear
needless of our welfare of the good
of the service'and most disheartening
10 the esprit de corps heretofore dis
tinguishing the canal force.
Fact No. l. The Canal Zone is a
government reservation. in which We
arc allowed TO have no real property
rights of any kind. no business op-
pOrtunities. no vote and no voice in
our government or civic life Our
quarters are barracks I'm government
reservation and not private homes
Fact No. ,. We have no private
rights IN the quarters assigned to US,
such as we ordinarily enjoy in our
/ homes In the States; We cannot make
! any alteration or change in the build
/ ing. nor keep a COW, or horse or have
stable Of any kind near our quar-
/ ters; nor keep chickens nor garden,
nor have a settled home, as we must
always move on when the govern
mont is through with our services.
We are forced 10 adopt communis-
tic plan Of living which may be eff
cient in some ways. but is very irk-
some TO free Americans.
Fact No. s. The government mo-
nopolizes everything in the Zone, in
cluding stores. amusements. sports
railroads, laundries, farms houses
and public utensils. We recognize
the fact that this policy may be de-
g. r. from the governments stand
tN' IL uepllNeS us OF personal
r.r freedom of selection and
PATRONAGE TO which we are accustom-
ed as Americans, and we feel that the
government and not the employees oil
the canal should support and pay for
the policy adopted for its own benefit
Fact No 4. The Panama Canal
Act limits our wages TO those paid
by the government i'm the States
with not TO exceed 25 per cent in
p crease. which extra allowance Gf II
should be granted. is not sufficient
70 pay for the trips TO the States
which are necessary about once Z
year to maintain good health and tC
, visit those from whom we have ex-
p lied ourselves.

the army and navy. They deserve It

Mr. Wanamaker reached over and
said; Tell them the story of your

The diners all cried for the story
and Sunday consented

that she was as proud of Mr.. Sunday

Addresses we're also made by Rev.
Stoddard Lane and Rev. DR.. George

Mr.. and Mrs. Sunday after leaving
the banquet went to the Baptist
Temple, where there was a reception
in celebration of Dr. Russell II. Con-

list said he followed with interest
the work of DR.. Conwell. and was
one of his staunchest admirers.
For the first time during his six

their services 10 the canal arc no more
entitled TO recognition than the SER
vices of the other Americans. whose
wages il Is now proposed TO reduce.
We respectfully venture 10 suggest
that it is not consistent form OF
appreciation TO reward part Of the
canal builders who are already well
taken care OF by the government. and
reduce the wages OF the others. We do
not believe that the rank and file OF
the American people win support this
policy.
Fact No. G. The appropriation
committee stated that money was ap-
propriatod for the permanent quarters
with the understanding that rent
would be charged. The argument Is
specious. With the governments pol
icy Of monopoly il is absolutely essen
tial that quarters for the employees be
provided. and whether or not IL was
the thought of the honorable commit
tee that rent would be charged the
money would have had TO be appro-
priated to build the quarters. No other
, course was possible. The quarters for
The employees are as much a part OF
the canal plant as the locks or the
stables for the mules.
Fact. No. Z. Congress has appro-
priated money for the army barracks
and will appropriate more; but there
i is no intention OF charging rent TO the
army officers stationed here with the
| troops, who are not as necessary to
tho canal as the operating and main
/ tenance forces and who are paid just
as literally for tho work they do as
! the canal forces.
Fact No. s. Life down here is not
as desirable as IL appears to be to the
] tourist or member Of Congress who
spends a week here and sees only the
palm trees. the tropic moon. the pic
! turesque but dirty pickaninnios and
the canal we have built. II all pos
! sesscs a glamor for week or two.
but when boat after boat goes back
10 the States without you the gamor
fades. You realize then that there
is a swarm of human beings here
1 whose habits, customs, languages, col
ors and degrees of dirtiness differ alb
solutely from your own. with whom
We cannot mix in public gatherings
or in thought or in feeling and who
outnumber us twenty-five to one. As
picturesque background for tho
tourists delight they are doubtless
satisfactory. but they are aliens to US
and we to them.
we have no theatres and no book
stores. We pay Is cents for a 10-cent
magazine and five cents for daily
newspaper 10 days old. II rains nine
months Of the year and cur hats mil
dew while We wear them. We occa.
sionally get malaria and the dhoble
itch which we always have with us.
we feel that conditions now arc
hard enough. There are. II is true
some compensations for life here, bui
they are nOt many. We bear Will
many restrictions. deprivations and
regulations incident TO the life here
and necessary for the success of the
canal and the governments policy but
we 90 not feel that the compensation
We receive should be further reduced
and therefore respectfully petition you
( 10 revoke the executive order in uues-
J ton. We feel that II is based or
wrong premises. and That il is no
justified and that in equity and fair
ness TO the employees OF the canal. i
should be Immediately rescinded."
