CANAL SLIDES AT
LAST CONTROLLED
Sunday Work Is Suspended and
Eight-Hour Day Is to Be
Inaugurated.
Foreign Ship owners Satisfied With
Outiook-Precautions Are Taken
Against Passing Vessels With
Explosives In Cargo.

Panama.-All Sunday work OF the
canal dredges has been stopped for
the first time In four years. The en-
gineer In charge considers Sunday
work no longer a necessity. The
slides are so completely under control
1t is further planned to work only
eight hours day on them after a
short time.
The fact that no United States
coastwise ships are now using the
canal proves that foreign world ship
ping has found the canal so safe dur
ing the last six months that there has
been no fear to come by way of the
Jsthmus. Prior TO the slides that
closed the canal coastwise United
States vessels were very large per
centage of the total for the six months
period that had the greatest number
of ships make the transit. If the
coastwise vessels that We're using the
canal prior to the slides had been us
ing the canal as they formerly did
the number of ships going through
during the last six months would
have been far greater than during
any previous six months since the
canal was first opened.
