WASHINGTON, Oct 6-Through
reorganization of the administrative

Dor. physical operation of the canal
and railroad, pay of employees and
other important subjects, is recon-
mended in the preliminary report sub

commission which recently investigat-
ed conditions in the canal zone, at his
request.
The commission estimates that IN
annual saving of S5,000000 would re
suit from adoption of its suggestions.
Chief among the recommendation is
that the governor of the canal zone be
directed mot to make agreements or
understanding with the canal en-
ployes or any class thereof, for any
period of time, but that the wages be
periodically adjusted in accordance
with the law which bases the canal
wage on the pay of similar employees
in the government service in the
United States" and that the governor
shall mot deal with labor organiZa
tions as organizations, but shall deaI
with committees of emplayes."

Official notice that Lieut. Gen. Bar
