James Bronson Reynolds, Samuel B. Donnelly, and Henry Beach Needham submit a supplemental report on conditions in the Panama Canal construction zone to President Roosevelt, because the matters are either too trivial to mention in the main report they submitted, or potentially too controversial. They make recommendations regarding the sale of alcohol, the provision of fresh vegetables for the hospitals, considerations for foreign workers in the employ of the United States Government, wage increases and worker supervision, administrative courts, and worker safety.
