Was told that only a few of them had lunch with them, and it is doubtful if their funds enabled them to buy food en route. Some had all their belongings in a shoebox, some had not even a shoe box. Too Cold to Sleep; Filthy Toilets; War Preparations at Dix (By a Labor Camp Correspondent.) | CAMP DIX, N, J.—We are having| a hell of a time at camp. At night it is so cold that most of the fel- lows cannot fall asleep till about two, | three or four o'clock in the morning. | So many fellows left on this account that the Army officers were forced| to issue an extra blanket to all the men in each company.

War Questionnaire. An emergency questionnalre was given to all the boys. The questions were as follows: Did you serve in the Army or Navy? If so, what rank did you hold? Did you serve in the National Guard? Did you serve in the C. M, T. C. at any time? A fellow who stays here sure must haye a strong constitution. We have an army chief visiting from New York City and the District of Col- umbia. We are told that if we don’t | obey we will be sent home but fel- lows are leaving almost daily, They can’t stand the camps, Some of the fellows have to clean the toilets and what a sight some of them were. The contents were on the seats and floor in some of the company toilets. None of the boys know when or where or if they are going somewhere else from here. Buses are arriving almost day and night with new men. Some buses are from New York, Pater- son, Jersey City, Atlantic City and from other places. —A Friend.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark.—Four com- panies of the Civilian Conservation Corps, being conditioned at Camp | Pike, Ark., will be sent to California for six months “work” in the forests of that state, to be stationed at Sa- eramento, according to orders from above. | With half of the state in forests, | the quota of Arkansas lads, sup- posediy prepared to go into one ot) the fourteen camps here, were sud- denly found more useful in Califor- nian forests. As a clear cut indication of this being the creation and training of a reserve forest army, an Arkansas lad drilling with rifles four hours a day, and working only two, at Camp Pike. Arkansas has a quota of 3750 with 2975 to be conditioned at Camp Pike, a total of eighteen companies to be formed. But construction of buiid- ings has been halted in selected sites. —H. F.

BATTLE CREEK, Mich—To pre- vent further desertions or runaway from the forced labor camps, the Camp Custer officials will assign over 4,000 C. C. O. recruits to the west coast to work camps in Oregon and Washington forests. Only seven more companies will be sent to the Michigan forest camps to the state forests because the na- | tional forest camps have their quo- tas filled. Out of the remaining 34 companies, 27 companies will be sent to the west coast, where escape will be difficult due to the great dis- tance from home. The Roosevelt administration thru the War Department isn’t sending the boys to the west coast to the warm states to preserve their health but to militarize the youth more easily without any fear. that theyPbeen issued fatigue will escape from . these militery camps, the so-called Civilian Con- servatio. camps, where the youth, after six months of military train- ing, will be in readiness, to shed their blood, in another world’s war to end all wars, to safeguard the in- terests of Wall Street and the cap- italist class. (By a Worker Correspondent) NEW YORK.—I happened to turn on the radio and heard the Isaac Walton League at a convention in Chicago. This league is supposed to consist of sportsmen who hunt and fish, A senator from Connecticut sug- gosted a bill for this club's benefit to put the reforestation men not only in the forests, but- to make them re- stock fields, streams, and clear up polluted streams, so these fat-bellied So-called sportsmen can enjoy some good fishing and hunting for weeks, yes even months at a time. They do not suggest paying these young men regular wages for this work. ‘This should inspire us to fight more iabor Re the program of forced labor.—R. SPO RTS ‘Negro Youth Ties 100 Yard Record in Scholastic Meet | Working Class Youth Breaks Broad Jump Record; Misses 220 Yard Mark by .1 Second By MAC GORDON, In what is probably the most re- merkable achievement in the history of track athletics, Jesse Owens, youthful Negro student at Bast Tech High School in Cleveland, tied the world’s record of 9.4 seconds for the 100 yard dash, came within a tenth of a second of tying the 220 yard world mark, and broke the netional scholastic record in the broad jump by more than half a foot in the na- tional inter-scholastie track and field championships held in Chicago, Saturday. A.A.U, Bars Worker Athletes. The writer met Owens in Cleye- land while preparing for the Coun. ter-Olympic, International Worker: Athletic Meet in Chicago last sum- mer. He and three other Negro youngsters, among whom was Dave Albritten, who won the high jump and took third in the 120 yard high hurdles at the scholastic champion- ships, were anxious to participate in the Counter-Olympics and were pre- pared to make the trip to Chicago. At the last minute, however, they were warned by their coach that they would be barred from future Amateur Athletic Union and schol- astie meets if they took part in a working class meet. They were deeply disappointed, and a couple of them wanted to go despite the prohibition, but the fear of disbar- ment from the A. A. U, finally held them back. Owens and Albritien both come from working class families, living in tine Weart of the Negro section of | ai Gleveland, At the time of the writer’s acquaintance with them, Owens worked as a bootblack in a barbershop after sehool, That he was able to put on such a remarkable performance despite these handi- caps is little short of miraculous. Negro Athletes Have Hard Fight. Degpite his marvelous ability, Owens will by no means have clear sailing in the sport world. The bourgeois sport organizations make a Sharp distinction between Negro and white athletes no matter how good the Negro may be. One recalls the case of Owen's great predecessor, Eddie Tolan, who captured the Oiympic championships in the 100 ang 200 metre runs lest year, and who, on a trip to Europe a couple of years ago with a number of white stars, was compelled to live alone, apait from his white team mates. Recently Tolan announced his re- tirement from amateur sport be- cause he said it was too expensive for him. Imagine a white Olympic champ and world’s record holder having to quit amateur athletics be- cause of the expense involved. With most of them it's a profitable busi- ness. The cases of discrimination against even Negro champions in the Amateur Athletic Union and othe: bourgeois sport organizations are numerous and have often been mentioned in the columns of “New Sport and Play,” L.8.U. organ, Only in the Laber Sports Union, where race discrimination is ruthlessly fi against, do Negro and white compete on equal and com- semiony terma, FOREST RANGERS | AS DICTATORS Living on Stews to Fatten the Grafters (By a Labor Camp Correspondent) | NEAR PITTSBURGH, Pa.—Condi- tions are still quite miserable here.| We have boardwalks now, but it is} still muddy here due to continued} rains, The Chief Forest Rangers| ordered our officers to feed us better, and the result 1s that we are getting er food than previous, but is plenty of graft. | | a litt | there still, We are not allowed to rest or leave | work unless authorized by a forest | | ranger, but we are given a 10-minute | rest period in the morning and ten minutes in the afternoon.

DEMONSTRATIONS AT FORT WRIGHT (By a Laber Camp Correspondent.) Fort H. G. Wright, N. Y. (Fisher's Island, Long Island Sound)—A group of 80 mén of the 17lst company of Citizens’ Conservation Corps was sent out to repair a road, and half of them refused, despite remon- strances by the officers, on the grounds that most of them had not (army work clothes) clothes and they were in their civilian suits. This forced the commanding officer to reprimand the under-officers in charge of the men, stating that though they had gotten away with it so far they must now issue fatigue clothes to the 0.C.C. or not assign work to them until they do. Riots are incessant here, mainly on account of food. They have even held a demonstration, which oc- casioned the military order by the commanding officer barring demon- strations of any kind. The guard has been called out several times with bayonetted rifles at high port to quell disturbances, in which guards and C.C.C.'s were injured, tents rip- ped up, and clubs freely swinging. Poor medical attention by army “rookie” corps, working seven days @ week at prodigious speed, crowded quarters, besides their despicably poor and meagre food, add to the general dissatisfaction which expres- ses itself in “riots”. 200 men will pass through this post for innoculation and military train- ing before leaying for the forests, (This is from good authority.)
