Within these compartments long tables and benches are placed on which meals are served. These passengers eat and sleep in these foul compartments. the atmosphere of which is filled with diseasespreading baccilli. The small space provided for these bunks makes It a physical impossibility for an adult occupant to obtain rest. It Is literally true that these passengers are huddled together like so many sheep In a pen. The ordinary stock cars provide more space and air for the animals that are quartered in them than do the steerage compartments of an ocean liner. This statement may appear Ironical. but it is true. This description is no exaggeration of what I have seen.
