DiarrhOea in C.C.C.
Camp 9S7, Calf, Is
Caused by Bad Food
Nv Gee. Worker

MONROVIA, Cal, Mar 1.-Diar-
rhea is very prevalent at C.C.C.
Camp 9S7 here, due to the rotten
and unsuitable food we are given.
For one week, one-half Of the boys
were vomiting from sour stomachS
because Of the food. Ninety per cent
Of the boys have poison oak, the camp
doctor charging some of the boys
SIPS for inoculations, and sent some
back to work long before they were
cured.
The food we were given was often
rotten, sometimes burned, and at
other times undercooked. Maggoty
meat has been given us. For break
fast we are given omelets made from
powdered Japanese eggs. Each
worker is issued three sandwiches fol
lunch, one ham, one cheese, and one
beef; the bread is dry and stale
Supper is usually beans, spaghetti
and sour potatoes.
Seven times we went on strike
against the rotten food. After each
strike the food would improve; grad
ually it would soon be the same
again.
The canteen overcharged us on all
articles. The officers use this money
with which to buy liquor.
when we first entered camp, there
were $50 Of us; two months later
there were TIA; 66 either DESERVING
or being fred for nrotestinp condi-
tons.
After our enlistment expired and
we returned home, we were sum-
moned to the Emergency Relief head
quarters and asked why we did not
re-enlist. When we explained that
the conditions were so bad that we
did not wish to re-enlist, the relief
heads asked us why we did not join
the army.
Ninety per cent refused either an
army or CCC. enlistment.
