John Mcguire. about the recent trouble
and alleged strike they had in the COM
pany. He says they did not refuse to
drill. but were simply sick and too
weak to urn out. The whole regiment
had been fed rancid bacon until half
of them were deathly sick. Some near
ly died vomiting and others who had
been unable to eat anything on account
of the rotten condition of the food were
so sick and weak that they tainted. A
piece Of the bacon furnished AZ regu-

pronounced It unfit for a dog to eat.

The members Of the company simply
said they could not drill. that they were
too sick and weak. The captain re-
ported to the colonel the condition of
his men and the colonel came n ad-
dressed the company and asked IL there
was a man in II who meant to disobey
orders. II there was, he wanted them
20 step to the front. but not one re-
sponded. The facts in that particular
were just contrary to VIA the ASSOC
ciated press said about the incident.
In reply to the colonel. one of the men
in the company made a statement of
their grievance. He said the men did
not mean to disobey orders or to show
the least disrespect to the officers.
They only wanted what they knew
were their rights. He pointed to sick
men about him m a the food for
several days had been so bad that no
man could eat II. The stencil from IL
could be smelled a rod away. Men who
attempted to eat became deathly sick.
The mans explanation was satisfactory

the company received a telegram from
Governor Smith asking what was the
