Panama Canal Commission in
Employment Report.
Shows How S5,O0O,0OO Yearly
Saving Can Be Made.
USE MORE NATIVE EMPLOYEES
Urges Giving More Jobs to Nom
union Workers.
Union Chiefs Before Secretary
Weeks Resisting the Report.

Washington, Oct. 6.-Thoro- reor-
ganization OF the administrative ma
chinery in the Panama canal zone
with radical changes in existing pol
icies affecting employment of labor,
physical operation of the canal and
railroad pay of employees and other
important subjects is recommended in
the preliminary report submitted to
Secretary Weeks by the commission
which recently investigated conditions
in the canal zone at his request.
The commission estimates that an
annual saving Of IS, 100000 would re-
suit from adoption OF Its suggestions.
Chief among the recommendations is
that the governor of the canal zone
be directed mot to make agreements
or understandings 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
wages on the pay of similar employees
in the government service in the
United States, and that the governor
shall mot deal with labor organiza-
lions as organizations but shall deal
with committees OF employees"
Wants the Open shop.
att is further recommended" the
report says, that the open shop prin-
ciple be actually put into effect on
the isthmus and that in all depart
ments a substantial proportion of non
union men be Employed
Another recommendation is that
"alI agreements limiting the use of
tropical labor be abrogated' and that
the canal administration shall here
after retain complete freedom of ac-
ton as to its policy in the employment
of union, non-union, or tropical labor"
Representative of union labor in
the zone have been in conference with
Secretary Weeks and Governor Nor
rel regarding the recommendations of
the commission affecting labor which
it is said they came to Washington to
resist, asserting that it failed to find
anything to justify continued expendi-
ture of canal funds to maintain naval
mends that operation ofzVarious faeili-
ties for naval purpose cease immedi-
ately, and that hereafter the canal be
operated entirely as a commercial
agency until congress shall otherwise
| indicate.
More Native Workers.
Finding the employment of United
States white citizens" instead of
natives to be another item of expense,
the commission recOmm ends5S that
| tropical workers be employed s.tqsthe
extent possible, taking into consid era :
! ton that fact that the canal is, to- a
certain point, an element of national
| defense and that there may be certain
positions in which aliens ought not to
| be employed"
| The commission was headed by
Brig. Gen. w. D. Conner, assistant
chief of staff; Capt. A. B. Fry, of the
treasury department; F. A. Molitor,
New York engineer, and H. P. Wilson,
New York banker and business man.

TO START WHEELS
Nations Bankers Hear Plan to
Increase Business.
Would Guarantee Credits to
Buyers From Europe.
CALLED TER MEULEN PLAN"
Would Balance Sales and Pur-
chases in Foreign Lands.
Europe Needs Goods and Amer
lea Needs the Work.

Los Angeles, oct. 6.-An interna-
tionaI credits scheme designed to bring
substantial help to war torn nations,
revive the productive power Of mach
OF Europe and restore normal over
seas trade. thereby contributing to
starting the wheels of many Anleri :
can industries now standing idle or
working only part time. was outlined
to delegates to the American Bankers
association convention here today.
Called "Tcr MeuIcn Plan"
An explanation of the scheme,
which is known as the "Ter Meulen
plan" was given by Sir D. Drummond
Frazer. X. b E. OF the Manchester
and Liverpool District bank, one of
Great Britain's foremost financiers
and economists.
Sir Drummond, who is the organ
izer Of the plan, warned the bankers
that If there is a continued restriction
of the credit of European countries
thit will inevitably mean a shrinkage
OF Imports from the United States.
In discussing the scheme in his ad
dress, Sir Drummond said:
at is designed to enable war
stricken nations who possess approved
national securities to finance essential
late the productivity of the country
by giving them the power, thru the
bond, to command the confidence
which will attract the necessary credit.
THE scheme proposes the formation
Of an interpational organization for
the provision Of guarantees. which. on
the one hand, will protect the au-
tonomy of the borrowing countries
and, on the other hand, will offer ade-
quate security for the lenders.
purchases from foreign countries
must be balanced by sales TO the for
eign countries. The purchases and
sales must be made thru the private
importers of one country with the
private exporters of another. It IS
not intended to finance governments,
except in special approved cases."
F. o. Watts, president of the First
National hank, st. Louis, and chair
man OF the American financial delega-
ton to the international chamber of
commerce meeting at London last
June. WAS another speaker before the
convention today.
Europe Must Have Goods.
mot only must the impoverished
countries Of Europe be supplied with
goods" Watts said, but credit also
must be advanced in order that pay
ment for the goods may be made by
consumers and the wheels of industry
set in motion"
At the election Of officers scheduled
for late today. it was expected John
d. Drum, of San Francisco, president
would become a member of the ex-
ecutive committee; Thomas B. Nc
Adams, of Richmond, Va, first vice
president would become president
ana that John H Puelicher, of Mil
waukee, second vice president. would
become first vice president.
