HEALTH OFFICER SAYS
P. R. R. SHOP MEN
HAVE EGOODQUARTERS
Made inspection Following a
Complaint From Union Head
quarters.
STRIKERS REPORT DIFFERS

One of the new developments in the
local situation pertaining to the strike
| of the railway shopmen is a lively dis
pute between the men who have quit
work and the Pennsylvania railroad
officials relative TO the sanitary con-
| ditions existing in the camp the rail-
road company has established at its
| Todd's Cut shops for the accommo-
dation of the new men who are being
employed and who make their home
there at the present time The dis
pute has brought the Board of Health
Into the quarrel. with the result that
one of the executive officers was sent
to the shops to make an inspection
of the camp.
This officer, Harry T. Turner. COM
piled his report yesterday and It Is
lengthy and in detail, but the union
officials claim his inspection was not
thorough and was only superficial and
that it is made up largely Of what
( Turner was told and not what he ac-
tually saw. The railroad officials con-
tend the report is complete and based
on a thorough inspection and that
Il refutes the charges that the work
mems camp is unsanitary.
Officer Turner was sent to the camp
for the inspection by DR.. r. s. Nc
Birney, secretary Of the Board of
Health. who stated this morning that
he issued the order after union men
had brought two strike breakers TO
his office. who were suffering from
some disease and who claimed the
conditions in the camp were very un-
sanitary. DR.. McBirney said ne did
not know how officer Turner's IN
spection was made, or whether he saw
! for himself or took what was told him
by officials at the shops and accepted
, &, as a fact. He stated. however, that
! this afternoon he might go there him
! self and make an inspection per-
) sonally.
