port of the Isthmlen canal commission

labor, quart*!*, $ub»1»t*ne*. aanJU-
tlon, commissary and recreation for
employe! are of especial interest, and
follow:
Labor, Quarter*. Subsistence.
This department is charged wlthae-
earing all skilled and unskilled labor,
supplies for and custody of quarters,
and the operation of hotels, messes and
kitchens.
On the resignation of Mr. Jackson
Frrilth. MaJ. Carrol A. Devol, quarter*
master. U. 8. army, wus assigned to
duty under the commission, and In the
reorganisation of the work the duties
of this department sre to be divided.
To Major Devol will be assigned suen
of the dutleseof the old department
an relate to labor and quarters, and
there will also be added to duties of
the present division of mms'lnl and
supplies, with the work of which lit*
professional experience In connection
with the quartermaster's department
of the army has thoroughly JamllUr-
Ired him. The resulting department
will be designated the "quartermas
ter's deportment."
The subsistence feature will be con.
•oiJdated with the commissaries of the
Panama railroad and operated as tho
subsistence department of the cornmls
elon. In charge of MaJ. Eugene T
Wilson, artillery corps. If. 8. A.
The separation of the department
Into these two departments has been
effected, but all the details of the or
ganisation scheme are not ret com
plete.
Labor.—A net decrease in the skill
ed force was made during the year,
yet there were almost an many new
employes as In the preceding year, the
number of men employed being 5,200
end 5,500. respectively, for the two
years. Indicating the shifting charac
ter of the force and showing that It Is
practically renewed every 'year. A
radical change, however, hoe taken
place In the source of supply. There
were 1.128 men employed In the United
Ftates. as against 8,018 the year be
fore. while the number employed on
the Isthmui has Increased from 2,780
to 2.882.

cancies caused by the departure of
employes from the Itehmus. 4.150 West
Indians and S.050 Europeans were Im
ported. Aa the total egress of Immi
gration over emigration was nearly
18.000. the labor problem may be con
aldered as solved.
Quarter*—Approximately 700 Amer
ican families were brought to the
Isthmus during the year and quarters
accommodating 250 families were rec
ommended for construction. While,
there are a number of applications fqr
quarters pending, there Is no «uch
congestion for married quarters aa
existed a year ago.
lAborer*’ quarters *re at present
ample and there la an Increasing
tendency among certain c1aa«e a of la
borers to go to tha hu«h. or Into tene
ments in various small towns along
the tone. While relieving the com
mission of the obligation to quarter
them. It Is an open question whether
the move has been beneficial, v
Subsistence—At the close of the
year 20 hotels were operated
American*. 25 mess balls for ■■
ropeans, and 81 kitchens for West In-
Mian laborer*. A system of Inspection
