point a commission composed of fif-
teen "citizens and" five aldermen will

CRISTOBAL Canal Canal Zone"
Dec. 29. Thousands of American em
ployed in the Panama Canal "Zone
thousands of miles from home arc
suffering from the wave of discontent-
that has swept the worl1 since tho
war.
Although life in the Canal Zone.ia.
now a paradise compared to that ltfo
which the early builders of the- Canal
led there is great dissatisfaction!
with the administration and the treat-
ment of the employes. Some of this
discontent may arise from the fact
that these employes are living in thet .
heat of the tropics and so far from
home that their country's viewpoint-
does not reach them.
Every visitor to the Zone gets the
whisperings of discontent. There Is
widespread propaganda rumors that
the Canal ift not a success and inti-
mations that one should see the "back
alleys" of the Canal.
The employes want more pay. They
feel that they have been forgotten.
government employes in the United
States have been given increases the
Zone employes have not been given -proportionate
increases. They de-"
clare they are entitled to greater pay
from home forgetful of the fact :that
they are dwelling i comfortable
government houses at nominal rents;
while employes in the states ' are
fighting for living quarters.
Food at Oust.
The Zone employes buy their food
and supplies from a commissary at
prices -which are not much" above cost. .
These commissaries carry- every 'ne-
cessity of life and many of the. lux
uries and the prices are amazing to..
one who has just come from the
States. Yet there is dissatisfaction.
w:Uh tlie commissar iesv- and cries; that -the
prices are 'too great
Many of the Zone employes have .
been here for years; they are proud
of their work and fel an ownership
in the Canal which almost amounts to
their forgetting that the American
people and not the Canal Zone peo-
ple own and paid for the Canal. Per-
haps it .is this forgetfulness which al-
lows this discontent to go 6n.
Canal Is Snceess.
Although the rumblings of discon
tent are audible arid rumors of inef
ficiency are frequent the fact still
stands out that the Panama Canaf Is
a success. Ships pass through this
