Ot tk$ iftter, some 26,000 are West

fe glance from qpaln, Italy and
dWJffckfJns Central America.
fbff task of getting labor for the

clorlcal forco, construction men and
skilled artisans, and the "silver"
constltuto the ordinary laborers.
As Indicated by their title, ono class
is paid In gold, or U. 8. currency,
and tho other In Panamaisn silver.
Pay Scale High.
Since the Americans took hold at
Panama In 1004 tho wago scalo has
been extremely high, nrobablv
mgncr man ever bcroro on any
construction work. Wages aver
ago from 35 to 100 per cent more
than In the eastern United States.
and In addition to this tho employ
ees receive many perquisites, such
as free quarters and cheap food,
an interesting subject that will be
touched upon in next week's article.
The high pay scale was necessary
In tho early days to get suitable
labor to como to tho Isthmus, for
when the health conditions were
such that evory third man was al
ways In the hospital and the death
rate was appallng, It required big
financial inducements to get and
keep men.
Now, howover, sanitary condi
tions are almost model, and tho
pay scale Is out of all proportion
to the situation. The result Is that
there Is more demand for positions
than there are positions to be
filled. From this spring on to tho
completion time the enrollment will
gradually bo diminished. It Is
very probable that the force that
will operate tho canal after com-
tUKfiuiUeS at the outset. Many I Diction, which nrnhatilv will mi.nhn,.

Men Looking for Itorths
Already tho "home stretch"
spirit Is In the air on the Zono and
"the boys" aro beginning to look
around for now berths.

and as everyone gets good Wages
and Is apt to 6o pretty sick of tho
Tropics It has boon easy to find in
"ono-man" government as that
which exists over our Hi square
miles of Canal Zone.
Colonel Q. W. Goethals, the army
engineer chairman for the Canal
Commission, Is the dictator. What
he saya "goes", and goes with a
vengeance. If you don't like what
tho Colonel docs to you, or doesn't
do to you. you havo tho privilege of
getting off tho Canal Zone.
Tho Chairman Is sunromc. He
knows everything that goes on In
his llttlo empire, and ho not only
bosses all tho big details of the
actual construction work but ho
watches over the domestic affairs
of his variegated family of some
70,000 persons, of all conditions of
raco, creed and color, not to men
tion morality and Immorality.
All or which means that the men
on the Job have very llttlo to do but
their work, and lack other responsl-
uiimos. cor instanco, thoy have
no franchise, for there Is nothing
io voio ror, u tney hart ono.
So tho tlmo which In tho United
States might be devoted to larger
mauers at ranama often goes to
petty troubles, nnd gosHlp and fric
tion, social and official. Is a big
uem in tho routine llfo of the
workers and their families.
Sunday Kouilons Unique.
One of tho really, unique foaturci
of Colonol Goethal's regime Is his
regular Sunday morning session at
bis office at Culobra, when anyono
who has a grievance or thinks he
nas one, can como and explain bis
troubles.
"Tho Colonel" has an ear for
everyone from tho poorest laborer
to tho highest official. Of course
some very funny matters aro
brought out at those meetings. In
deed, It is said that at ono tlmo or
another all tho dirty- linen of the
Zono Is washed 'by tho Chairman,
who scorns willing to glvo his tlmo

Government Is Despotic. -
Nowhero in tho world, at lonst'ln
the English speaking portion of the
world, Is there such a 'despotic add
quarrels, with Just as much thousht
nnd gravity as ho docs to the mil
lion dollar matters of tho Canal
work.

that very patly describes tho sort of
thing "Tho Colonol" Is "up against"
when tho rest of us nro going to
