OUT AT"CAMP PETEHOLLAN
STRIKING TELEGRAPHERS ARE
ENJOYING THEMSELVES.
Men Living Under Canvas, Soldier
Fashion-Excellenc of Comm1s-
sary Department.

Camp Pete Holland" is the name OF a
new suburban place in the vicinity OF
Washington, and it's population last night
was Just thirty-f1ve souls.
AS it's title indicates, it is town of tents,
and its inhabitants are Geographic keymen
who are on strike.
The location of Camp Pete Holland Is In
the picturesque vicinity of Cabin John
Bridge, and two tents, which comprise the
settlement have been pitched within the
park Enclosure. The operators, who are
enjoying life in the open, are said to be as
happy as Jersey CLAIMS at high tide.
The project of establishing the camp was
given consideration by the local strike COM
mittee for several days before 1t was car
ried into effect, and as many of the strikers
are unmarried men it was decided that the
camp would be a good thing from an eco
nomical as well as a heating wing point OF
view.
Now that it is reality, the campers are
perfectly we'll satisfied, and when Inter
national Vice President W. w. Beattie
visited the boys at Camp Pete Holland
Friday evening he found them enjoying

of angling. The staples in the Commissary
department of Camp Pete Holland are sup
piled by the local strike committee, but
much of the vegetables are donated by
generous farmers and truckers in the neigh
borhood of the camp. A Washington
tobacconist recently sent to the men a
large box filled with smoking tobacco and
pipes, with which they regale themselves
between meals
Straw for Beds.
Now and then predatory turnpike tour
list commonly known as a tramp passes
by the camp, and if he is hungry the wants
OF his inner man supplied by the gen.
erous keymen. The campers sleep in large
tents soldier fashion, and in lieu of hunks
or hammocks they recline upon straw piled
upon the floor of their tents.
In the candlelight hours, after the duties
of the day are over, some of the men as
sembe in front of their habitats and sing
popular songs or tell stories Of their ex-
periences as knights of the dot and the
dash. Others play checkers, and some
take moonlight trips on the canal or the
Potomac In small boats. The strike COM
mittee has supplied the campers with a
variety of magazines and other publica-
tons and the local newspapers. and they
spend some of the daylight hours reading.
The men of Camp Pete Holland are a
happy-go-lucky lot, and taking life as
easy possible under the circumstances
They have many visitors from this city and
always endeavor to show them a good
time.
They are already telling some whopping
fish stories. and one of their number re-
marked recently that unless the strike is
soon declared off and the men move away
from the camp by the side of the canal
they will be catching whales up there"
AS Vice President Beatte was leaving
the settlement Friday night some of the
men called after him:
please continue the strike three or four
weeks longer; we are having just glorious
time out here"
