Cell blocks at Occoquan [Workhouse]

Title transcribed from item. Summary: Photograph of the exterior of cell blocks at Occoquan prison.

The building of a 3000 bed hospital is no small task in England, where labor and material has been so largely commandeered for war purposes. When the American Red Cross started the biggest American hospital in England, at Sarisbury near Southampton, it found lumber almost obtainable, so it decided to build the hospital huts mainly of concrete blocks. Several shacks for the manufacture of these blocks were erected at convenient points around the big estate and linked up with light railways

Migrant camp, Weslaco, Texas. Local employment men say that there was no need for migrant labor to handle the citrus and vegetable crops in the valley, the local supply of labor being ample for this purpose. Most of the local labor is Mexican and the labor contractors favor Mexican labor over white labor, partly because the Mexican will work much cheaper than whites. One white woman who was a permanent resident (her husband was on WPA (Works Progress Administration/Work Projects Administration) said that the white people who lived in the valley, had no trouble with the Mexicans. The Mexicans were good neighbors, she said, always willing to share what they had. She said the white migrants who came into the valley and resented and misunderstood the Mexicans caused the trouble between the two races. Some towns in this section permit camping only in trailers. The charge for camping in tents is about fifty cents per week, including water, which in some cases must be carried four city blocks. Privies are tin, very bad condition. Garbage is collected only once a week, with large dumps of decaying fruits and vegetables scattered among the camps. Some of the white migrants in this camp were very suspicious of governmental activity, due to the use by south Texas newspapers of the term "concentration camps" referring to FSA (Farm Security Administration) camps
