PROBLEM CF CHINESE LABOR
Isthmian t'nnnl Officials F.ismlne Bids
for Workmen on Water
way. WASHINGTON. Oct. 5 The offi
cers of the Isthmian Canai commlssdun are
busily engaged In examining the proposals
r'Ccnlly submitted by contracting firms for
furnishing Chlnexe labor for work on the
canal at Panama. Because of .the peculiar
conditions surrounding the Importation ami
employment of aliens In this work, compli
cated in part by the adjustment of some In
ternational features which probahly will
arise, several weeks must necet-gjrily
elapse before any conclusions are reached
and the contract awarded..
Some doubt Is expressed whether con
traclois will be able to carry out any con
tract which may be awarded for supplying
coolie labor. Preferably because of cli
matic conditions the Isthmian commission
desires that any laborers sent to tho isth
mus shall come from the southern prov
lnces of China. In that section reports re
ceived at the Chinese legation show that
not a single Chinese newspaper favors the
emigration of Chinese to Panama, as the
experiences of those who -went there for
the French Canal company are still fresh
In the minds of the people.
The Chinese were unable to withstand
the conditions then existing and It Is said
that about T5 per cent of those who went
there died. This mortality was due largrly
to the unhealthy sanitary surroundings
then prevailing pn the Isthmus, which,
however, have been vastly Improved under
the American administration of affajrs.
Petitions from Chinese residents In Peru,
San Francisco end at Panama have ben
sent to the government at Peking asking
that it refuse its sanction to any proposi
tion to allow contract laborers to go from

China to Panama. Thus far, however, the
Chinese authorities have remained entirely
pussive In the matter and have not mails
any representations to the Vnlted States.
8everal years ago the Chinese were,
sounded by the State department aa to
their attitude with respect to sending
coolie labor to Panamu, to which a pollle
but unfavorable reply was received. Since
the present situation has arisen, however,
no representations have been made by the
State department to the Chinese govern
ment on the subject In any form.
The suRgestlon has been made that If
the Chinese government Interpose an ob
jection to permit the departure of coolies
fnr labor on the Isthmus the contractors as
sn sltematlve may resort to the Philippine
Island or to the Strnly Settlements, over
which the Chinese government bus no Jur
isdiction for laborers.
An? contracts for furnishing coolie labor
which may be drawn by the Isthmian C
nal rommlaxton will, before being executed,
be submitted to the State department for
Inspection with a view lo avoiding any pos
sibility of. International complications.
