Canal Effects BIG Saving.


The cost of passage of each ton OF
cargo through the Panama canal is
practically % cents. according to cal
culations from returns of the first
three months of commercial operation
of the waterway, during which period
the cargo transported east and west
amounted to 1,079,52t tons. The toll
charge of 1920 is levied on each net
ton, canal measurement, on loaded
vessels, this register being constant.
The quantity Of cargo that may be
slowed on a ship is variable, and as on
the average the dead weight cargt
capacity of the ships passing through
the canal has been largely in excess
of the net register, the burden of the
ton has been correspondingly reduced
on the ships operation. Steamship
owners say that the toll has been read
fly absorbed and that no complaints
have been raised on that score. The
reduction in the rates effected by the
water route has been manifestly ad-
vantageous- as compared with the pre-
yious rates.

INSIST ON UNIFORM WORK
HOURS FOR THE CHILDREN

committee Of manufacturers from
the Northumberland district called
upon Governor Brumbaugh yesterday
afternoon to endeavor to have him
agree to alter the child labor bill so
as to eliminate the 81 hour per week
for minor children between IA and
16 years. Governor Brumbaugh told
them that if they would not take 81
hours they would get 4S, and they
retorted with the assertion that these
hours would eliminate minors under
Is from their employ. James C.
Brown, of the Eagle Silk Company,
Shamokin, informed the Governor that
their employees were ready to march
on Senator Mcconnell s home and de-
mand that he vote against the Gov
ernor's child labor bill.
After the meeting the manufactur-
ers issued a statement of which the
following is part:
"We protest against the statement
attributed to your excellency that you
have already compromised on the
question of uniform hours. There is no
such thing as compromising uniform
ity. Hour are either uniform or they
are not uniform and the mere fact
that your excellency seems to imagine
that you have conceded something in
making the hours of employment in
your bill 8 day or 81 week is suf
fcient proof that you do not thorough
ly comprehend this phase of the ques-
tion. We would just as soon have the
hours 4S as 81 or SO or SO. We have
asked that they be uniform, 54 week
and 10 day, and if they should be
under that, it will not matter how far
under. They will not be uniform and
the damage will be done as surely as
though they were 4S hours. The juve-
niles affected will have to be dis
charged from our factories. We object
to being forced into taking this action
through indirect legislation which pre-
tends to be protecting minors in EN-.
ployment and which would throw the
blame upon us when they lose their
employment.
