One would almost conclude. under the conditions that are likely to exist. that the United States. mindful of tile physical wellbeing of its own people. is entirely indifferent to tile physical wellbeing of. the people of other countries whom it takes into its employment. In other words. if we get American labor we will use them like human beings. If alien labor is employed we will drive it to the limit of physical endurance. and that is likely to be the case. Mr. President. if. as is very seriously proposed. the digging of the canal is let out to contractors. because then tIle bids for the construction of the work will be taken without any regulation whatever as to the length of time the laborers or mechanics are to be employed or the manner in which they shall be treated in many other respects.
