Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. LOS ANGELES, July 13 (NAN.A)— So successful was California’s experi- ment of last Winter in establishing State work camps for the unemployed that a recommendation has been made 1o Gov. Rolph that $500,000 be sot aside for the operation of such camps next Winter. Action on the recom- mendation is expected to be taken by the Governor shortly The State work camp, briefly, is a place to which unemployed men are sent if they are willing to work in ex- change for three good meals per day and a place to sleep. Last Winter there ‘were two types of camps: forestry and State highway camps. The work was practically all hand work with pick, shovel and rake. The bulk of the labor was in building roads and fire trails and clearing firebreaks in the mountain arcas, for the forestry camps, and road tion work on the desert and in outlying communities for the highway camps. Handled as Humans, The camps were set up to take care particularly of the transient unem- ho were not eligible to receive , the law requiring qualifica- s to residence. However, a num- sidents went to the work camps. e factor making for the success camps was the morale main- due to the type of men placed charge. The men were handled as man beings. They were not pampered were they driven or hounded. They ked six hours a day. three in the morning end three in the afternoon They received no pay for their work The food was excellent and well served | the men early in the program com- plained because work clothes were not furnished. A lot of them were from | camp. The men also felt the lack of ad- equate recreational facilities such as equipment for basket ball, base ball and | the like. But the State was doing the | | best it could with the money at hand. Camp Rules Set Up. Camp rules were set up and observed. If & man left the camp he could not return. He was “out.” Rising hour and meals were at scheduled times. The camp was divided into crews, with experienced and _understanding fore- men in charge. No loafing or stalling Was permitted. An effort was made | to provide medical care for the men. usually & trained male nurse being located at the camp, with a hospital tent to handle minor cases and diagnose possible serfous ones. At the highway camps far out on| the desert a member of the State police was detailed, more for the moral effect | than anything else. But he was of the good-fellow type and usually took charge of the athletic activities. He promoted the boxing matches in camp and then took his champions to the nearest town to compete Wwith the local prides. Recreation for leisure hours was a real problem that had to be handled in order to keep the men from _sitting around and | worrying. Men Desire Compensation. The men felt that they ought to receive a little compensation for their work. The officials sympathized with that view, but it was a case of doing most with the money at hand. If pay were given for work, the number of men who could receive food and hous- ing would have been cut down tre- mendously. There was another point. If pay were given there would be the con- STOP ITCHING TORTURE. “mooning” for just food and lodging. At one‘ camp the men who “stuck it out” until | the camp closed received a “bonus” of Statistics on Camps. S. R. Black, chairman of the Califor- ' nia Labor Camp Committee, gives the following statistics on the camps: Cost of operating 28 forestry camps, financed from State emergency fund -$109,982. Cost of operating the highway camps, $99,678, expenditure being made from | highway funds. The capacity of the | forestry camps was 2,752 men and the two highway camps, 300 men each. Over 6,000 men passed through these camps.
