Panama, May 2.-Lieut Col. Ches-
ter Harding, governor of the Canal
zone has established an eight-hour
day for laborers on the piers at Chris
tobal. This has been done without
any change in the pay of American
employees who work on a monthly
basis. West Indian laborers who
work on an hourly basis, refused to
work this m orning, being under the
impression that their pay for a days
work would be reduced. They were
assured their wages would be in

which will be sufficient to give them
the same compensation for an eight

working nine hours. They are ex-'
pected to return to work tomorrow.
Little work was done today in
moving cargoes, but no further de-
lay is anticipated.

to Get Word to the Miners
Ordered, Says One Leader

Moore, president of the United Mine
Workers of Ohio, upon learning that
the miners union had been enjoined
from striking tomorrow. declared that

According to word which was re-

the strike orders will be issued and
that Saturday will see the strike ef-

of the roads would mean, also, the

thousand of the $4,000 members of the
United Mine Workers of America in
district Is, comprised of coal fields of
Colorado, New Mexico and Utah, will

nize the union. This company is the
largest single employer of labor in the
mines of district IS.
Provision for exemption of the TWEEN
ty-eight mines was made at the union
