affected by the order, threatened to
quit work If the order was enforced
Possibility of a solution was seen,
however, in an announcement by
Capt. W. E. Hawthorne, executive
officer of the project, that he would
offer to permit the men to move
onto the Army reservation.
Warrants Issued Last Week.
Warrants for the arrest of the
camp operators were issued Friday

ceeding sl00, or 80 days in jail.

tenants affected, said that this i.
the first time he has encountered
such conditions.
j have worked on almost a dozer
similar projects throughout the
country" Mr. Smith declared, t"bu
this is the first such order ever is
sued in any of the camps"
He claimed that the only licensed
camp in the area, located at tn,
Maryland Club Gardens, is made
quate to accommodate the approx
mately 200 trailers now in unlicensed
camps.
Danger of Epidemics Seen.

only about go trailers are affectes
by the order and that the Maryland
Club Gardens camp, operated b.
Leroy Byrd, has ample accommoda
tons. =
Another worker of the airpor
project, J. P. Evans. declared tina
there Is more danger of an epidemi
in crowded camp than under pres
ent conditions, where there are NJ
more than three or four trailer
parked in each camp.
John Staples, operator Of traile
camp at Kings Park Inn, said h
had attempted to pay the license
but was unable to do so. He adde,
that he had seven trailers parke,
there and that there are five toilet
as well as shower and a tub bath
Capt. Hawthorne said that, unles
some agreement is reached, work OF
the project will be seriously ham
peIed.
