THEODOKB P. SHONTS. eration of Labor, regarding what the latter called violation of the United States eight-hour law, and to deny that
he had promised the labor leader not to employ Chinese eolies. Charge by President Gempers. President Gompers at Washington issued a statement contending that the use of Chinamen on the isthmus work was in violation of the exclusion laws, inasmuch as the canal zone is T'nited States territory, and asserting that some months ago in an interview with him Chairman Shouts was emphatic in declaring that coolies would
not he used. Text of Gonipers Remarks. Gompers said: "It seems that thosa in charge of the Panama canal construction have regard for ueither law nor principle. First, in the most extraordinary manner the eight-hour law is Annulled in the greatest public work
ever undertaken hv the government, under the pretense that conditions there are different than they are in the United States. The'" extstinj?
law excludes Chinese laborers andi coolies from the United States or any
of its possessions. The Panama canal
scone is an American possession."
4 Does Not Apply to the Isthmus.. Tn reply to President Gompers
Chairman Shouts issued this statement: "The eight-hour law docs not
apply to unskilled labor on the isthmus of Panama. We cannot secure unskilled lahor from the United States. It therefore is not seen ''why a law passed in the interest of American lahor at home should he made applicable to alien labor, which probably never heard of its existence. Wonld Increase the Labor Cost. "Its application would have increased the labor cost of the canal several million dollars. The American, laborer in this country would have to pay his share of the consequent increased taxation without any compensating benefit to himself."

Yonug Filipinos in This Country Have Reasons Why They Prefer Not to Go South. Washington, Aug. 13. Philippine students sent to this country by the in
sular government to study agriculture
will hereafter devote their attention
chiefly to the southern states, where sugar, tobacco, rice ami other crop1 well suited to the islands are grown
extensively. At present there are thir
ty young Filipinos in the T'nited States studying farming in various agricultural schools throughout the northern
states.
Recau.se of race prejudice in the
south theyoung Filipinos have not taken kindly to the oHdea , .of attending southern institutions, but as corn is practically, the only northern crop which is grown in their home country many of the young students realize that they should go into states where tropical crops flourish. 1

Better tar the Laborers Than Iiess Work. Says Chairman Shonts. Shonts then proceeded: "At the time of my interview with President Gompers, in discussing the eight-hour
law, I stated that with the lowestclass of labor, as at Panama, it was more helpful and improving, more in their interests, and more an act of kiudnesa than otherwise to permit them to work ten hours a day and pay them for it because they are paid by the hour. "As to the statement of President Gompers concerning Chinese coolie labor I can only say that the commission has secured the opinion of the highest legal authorities of tbe government. It has been held that such law does not apply to the canal zone. It is possible that a large force of Chinese will be at work on the isthmus. We aim to get the strong, husky laborers from the rice fields of southern China." Chairman Shonts said West Indian negro labor had been unsatisfactory, adding: "We can get only 60 per cent, efficiency out of the negro workmen. A man has already been sent to Spain to secure Spanish labor. We want to get from Spain about 500 men a month to make up the loss in the working force. We want the sturdy laborers from the north of Spain, and we expect to get them. "In conversation with President Gompers my views as to labor on the isthmus were practically set forth as above. Any contrary understanding must have been due to a misapprehension of my position." "Chief Engineer Stevens and myself have handled Chinese labor and we found the men all right. They do the work and that is the principal object. The canal must be dug. and the first requisite is to have labor to dig it"
